Did you know that you can export from Sketchup 8 into Sketchup 6.

I read PDF tutorial. I save it

Some good textures from photos will make all the difference.

you mean not use google textures ?

Never use Sketchup internal textures! That is a big no no! SU handles all internal textures differently than imported ones. Every time you paint with SU internal textures it creates a new material for every surface.. Just last week i accidentally left one internal texture in a simple model (under 1000 triangles, very boxy, simple.) and got 255 textures, 251 of those were duplicates (all black single color...)...

Also when you use your own textures, you get the right dimensions: all textures in games, any game really, has to have a texture dimensions in the power of two (32,64,128,256 etc..) so for ex 337x238 causes the game to crash but texture with 256x512 will work. SU internal textures are scaled to what ever dimension it wants. If you import textures and paint with them, SU exports them correctly... What i did: i created 32x32px textures with basic colors. I'll use those when creating the model then at later stage replace them with the real textures. That way you can check the model in your project very early and see that it functions right (it's right size, if it has collision detection activated then to check that collision works as wanted etc)

I'm sorry if that don't translate well, this is one of the many modern professions that don't translate to other languages well..Tech talk don't translate well

Thank you for information

Me and my friend realise Beta 2 version of track. Found some bugs. Ground is very simple. It has only texture. Do not feel the earth move. In night ground look so bad. I show this in video. Don't figure out how to paint lines in green colour.

Version Beta 2 - http://allshares.ge/download.php?id=356A78C275

We already fix this bug.

Hi. It's possible to change sky texture of track ? How to do that ? I change DDS texture ( name : Glass_Sky_Reflection_28_dark% and - Glass_Sky_Reflection_55% ) , but this way don't work.

You can modify the SkyMas file if your talking about rFactor....
6e66o made some beautiful Skyboxes a while back, Ive got them here somewhere if they haven't already been added to the Download section...

 

[Kennett Ylitalo]

http://cream.galleria.fi/BTB/Misc/SkyPack1.zip for Race07. It replaces some textures in GameData\shared folder and adds couple of new ones. I kept some default ones just for compatibilitys sake. Make a backup from the original. You can also add these just for one track, copy the folder to track folder and add it's path to .trk.

yes i mean rFactor.

6e66o made some beautiful Skyboxes a while back, Ive got them here somewhere if they haven't already been added to the Download section..

Hi. Me and my friend just interested how to make Environment, mountains and etc. I have some pictures and video. There is some lesson how to make it ?

I watch this video, but environment result is not so real.

It's possible to make environment close to reality ?

A more accurate way for terrain would be to use the 'Zaxxon method' which is hidden away in these BTB threads somewhere...
Done properly this method using scripts turns out truely stunning terrain, I just wish I could work out how to do it myself!
Good luck!

 

[Kennett Ylitalo]

Same here, zaxxon method is superior but never understood it fully.

First, thanks for help. I fined some 'Zaxxon method' topics and i think it's hard to me. Lot of scripts and stuff. I think, it's take me lot of time to understand his method full ( if i understand ). Going to search some easy way.

P. S. It's possible to convert my track in rF 2 ? It's hard work ? What i need for this ?

Our first problem is to do terrain. I search in google and find this program only. Continue to search.

 

[Lee Knight]

For rF2 conversions you need 3DSMax although a beta version of 3D SimEd has just been released & I believe that can do conversion to rF2 as well...
As for the Zaxxon method of terrain building, there's also a web-site dedicated to it & there should be a link to it in the threads somewhere....
I had it bookmarked but now can't find it sorry...

 

[sti228]

It's possible to convert track with 3DSimED Demo ? and how to do that ? I can't find rF 2 export file. Or i must buy it for convert to rF 2 ?
