Good job, will look forward to cg version!

 

[luthobu]

This is one lovely car! Drove it around for more than an hour on Gizmo's, and it was a pure pleasure. Congrats!

 

[KS95]

Yay, I love having something nice to cruise in

 

[Splashonda]

It really is a nice car, it feels superb!

 

[AMGfan(BPM)]

Ok, never mind i'd say it, but i must admit CG rox! It's a pity it kill my fps and turn the game unplayble. So, as you can see, play with 10fps is a suffering. So, to take screenshot is good, maybe someone who has a high end pc can use it fine. BTW, I liked the result. Soon in your pc.

BMW @ CG shaders @ carlswood @ racer 0.8.10. i dont know why i got red aspect in the body color and other minor details.

I haven't tried it in game yet, but I noticed that the car folder is 159 MB and it could be reduced to a small fraction of that without any loss in quality. For example, the Raven variants have 16 MB images with solid color and unused alpha channels. They would still look the same at 1x1 pixels and 24 bits (no alpha). Many other image files could be reduced a lot in size if they were saved as compressed TGA.

Where you saw 159mb? When i past the car folder from racer 088 to racer 0.8.10 to convert to CG, i saw it, and was afraid my car gets so big. But i saw again and discovered, that 159mb was the whole folder of game.

[Miura]

It doesn't take much space in a RAR because TGA files can be compressed efficiently if they're solid color or have lots of empty space. After I chose a variant, there is now 64 MB in this car's folder plus 107 MB in the Raven variants folder. You could probably get it under 10 MB just by saving the files with the right settings and resizing the solid color images.

I didn't notice any big problems with the car in game. The latest Racer version is so choppy and buggy on my computer that I can't really test this properly..

Ok, never mind i'd say it, but i must admit CG rox!

Hm.. when looking at those screenies I must admit that /not/ using CG is a bliss. They look fluffy.. like cotton.. totally unrealistic and stressful on the eyes. Sorry. Just my humble opinion.

 

[KS95]

Maybe you should have a look at some other CG cars then? Like this: http://www.racedepartment.com/racer-cars/30101-1957-simca-aronde-elysee-3.html#post528598

I think that 'cotton' effect is just Bloom anyways.


Edit: Btw, really nice car. The only criticism I have is the sounds, they just sound... so boring. It should be a lovely throaty sounding engine!

 

[luthobu]

@ks95: yeah, better. but not so much that I am ready to disregard the old shaders. I am a die-hard fan of them. Maybe just because I know how to maximize their potential.. at least to a certain degree..

 

[Mr Whippy]

I noticed the HUGE textures on the 135Ci you sent me AMG Fan...

Were they 2048x2048 with a solid colour on the whole thing... a massive waste of both HDD space and texture memory on the gfx card...

In theory you can simply use a white 2px x 2px texture and even have the colours done in the car.shd under diffuse/ambient colour tinting! That would make the car folder even smaller for variants (just variant the car.shd) (or in my case, run ini.exe and change the car.shd by batch file )

Ok, i will change the variants to get less space. Later i upload here.

@KS95, the sounds of 320i of sure isnt too breathtaking like 6-inline bmw, but is a bit sportive.

 

[AMGfan(BPM)]

Uploaded new light size files. Its in first page.

 

[FiftyOrange]

Awesome. You're good at this.

 

[Adamo90]
