eh...nice! where you got the model? Forza3?

 

[QuadCoreMax]

Excellent Work Unipipe !!
Love Porsche...
Does the interior look as good as the outside ?

Man, we really need a real driver which moves the hand along the steering wheel....I vote YES !

 

[unipipe]

yep forza3..interior is low poly.

Hm. Depends on how you use the game? I use a steering wheel and I
find that having moving hands (as in other sims/games), and even an
on-screen wheel to be rather annoying...

But then again, I think of the screen as a "window" so I have no need for them

I agree with Luke. That's why I stopped using the interior camera on LFS, instead I use a custom one either on the roof or between the headrests.

I like having a moving steering wheel, it gives me a better perception of the steering, but the pilot confuses me!

Slightly bigger "shoes" and a shiney new.... exhaust

Nice car KS95, I had a pleasure to see an imported 1992 Twinturbo-R from Japan... Still all stock, what a nice car!

Until some months ago there was one in a backyard near my house. Dunno what happened to it!

Just working through the RS500 + Rudskogen cg shaders, still need to figure out how the Carlswood asphalt shader treats specular so the ground doesn't shine so much.

Ooooh. Me like!!!

It's nice having all the different liveries... tough to pick one.



Bumpmaps would add a lot to the pavement I think, not sure how to go about making good ones though.

And of course if you're photographing a race car, you use a ridiculously long telephoto...

Thanks I love the shape of them and the lovely rear lights, shame I've only seen one.. but it sounded good

 

[MitchVL]

Very nice Stereo !

Nice work... just need some spec maps on the tyre sidewalls really... give them a bit of life.

The Carlswood track surface just uses a spec map in the alpha channel to do the speculars.


I've found that most track materials are nicest with a normal map, spec map (they are linear space on 2nd texture map), and a diffuse map in the 1st texture...
Mmmmmm...

Just making sure the normal map is done properly so the shadow casts in the right direction


As per making a normal map, best to model what you want to have as normals, and then render it out (I like using positive/negative red/green/blue lights for that job, done some really nice tyres like that)
OOoooor, if you can take pics of real materials...

Which also works really really well!

Look at Cg Swiss Stroll's road setup, thats what I used to figure it out.

U can use the nVidia Photoshop tools to create normalmaps also. Work with Photoshop CS & better.

Tripple 3?

@Stereo....this looks realy nice!

hmm....


...yes i know...track shader is only exported via tracked...
