[A3DR]

looks great, but similar effect could be achieved with textures too, but it won't look as good though

Mine's not 3D at all, only a 1024x512 texture like what Kunos uses, except it has a different treatment and shader work.

Mine is 90% texture now , turned out after all the baking my texture work was that nice I was looking and thought why bother with the extra triangles ,
the black fonts at the bottom well part fonts are still 3d , the digital rpm graph is 3d and the arched black line under it and the small fonts they look better in 3d there tiny ,
but the rest I removed textures look great so why bother , I would still use the same process though making stuff in 3d makes for a better finish specially if your baking the full display

I'm getting all my overkill motivation solely from this thread. I really like the off-characters in the background though.

@chargingcar make sure you set a large font size when setting up a new font, and also save in the highest resolution (4096) but do not overwrite an already saved png when saving from the tool, delete it first and then save again. If you need a lower resolution font for smaller characters, resize in PS rather than the tool and save as a second version to save memory.

Thanks man I will try it now , I was saving over the previous and my 1st one was something like 1024 or something , Ill check now

There is a bug with the overwrite, it'll come out all blurry and messed up, so delete and resave in 4096 to get a sharp image.

Hi Gergo ,
Not really seeing much difference , maybe 1-2 px using 72pixels scale at 4096 saved it 3 times , also with my other font not seeing much improvement , I believe its just because of the size mainly the gear thats the issues ,

 

[Gergo Panker]

It's probably because even the 64 pixels are too low for such a big character. Alternatively you can create single textures for each gear character in any resolution you want (with alpha channel to define opacity), put them in the car's texture folder, name them gear_n, gear_r, gear_1 etc. and use the following script to call them:

[ITEM_2]
PARENT=parent dummy name
POSITION=0.058,-0.0305,0.000
TYPE=GEAR_TX
WIDTH=0.12
HEIGHT=0.06
TEXTURE_BASE=gear_n.dds
COLOR=255,255,255,255
INTENSITY=2.4
TRIGGER=1
ITEM_REF=0

ITEM_REF=0 means that it's taking the actual value from the [ITEM_0], this is important because this script also needs a simple GEAR entry to work, make sure you specify the original gear item# here.
TRIGGER: 0=Reverse, 1=Neutral, 2=1st etc.

Thats awesome thanks man I will try it now

 

[Gergo Panker]

Check the Maserati's content/texture folder for reference, it's used for the big red gear indicator.

I tried yesterday adding position for the car using the display panel lol then found the settings on the forums so used that instead but have the fonts ready
well most .

 

[Gergo Panker]

rightbound needed

and again, how do you fit textures with those detail in a kn5 below 50 MB

Make that *42MB

Wow thats cool how it gathers the information from the main gear data in which mine was ITEM_0 also must be something we all add 1st and get excited is the gears lol ,
I used the MC12 textures to test it ill make some now really cool feature its like an extension of the 1st one which was still showing so moved it backwards slightly to hide it lol

Yeah amazing now thanks man looks just like it did in 3D cut your finger on these fonts
3D is at the bottom the LPS / GC / PC , I cant see no difference to these new textures at all

 

[CC]

Well I am down to plastics and window rubbers / door stuff ect after these dash lights and stuff there is another smaller display behind the wheel I will maybe add PERF / Laps and stuff there some extra data , its hidden behind the wheel be good for those using there own I suppose
thanks again @Gergo Panker

Before:

 

[garyjpaterson]

After:

First draft AO bake, missing steering wheel/column etc. Just super simple shaders/textures with a ton of improvement still to go, but hopefully its an improvement over the flat super shiny ones from before!

 

[Patrik Marek]

you guys are doing great job, I guess time for me to finish Porsche
great tip about separate fonts for the gears, .. not sure if it was porsche but for one of the cars I wished the N (neutral) had different color the the other gears and this would make it possible
