    MAS encryption... how is it done?

    Hello! I'm supposed to create a track for a client. The client requires that noone should be able to extract the track model from the package. The "rF2_Packaging_Tutorial.pdf" says: "A cool thing here is that you could put some kind of “Created By” info (let’s say on the loading screen of a...

    Are the cars in DevMode reflective?

    I'd like to know if the cars (Skip Barber) in dev mode have reflective paint coating or just specular? I don't know If I'm not setting up the car reflection map properly in the GMT exporter, or they just don't reflect by design.

    Is there a translucent shader? (for alpha foliage, trees etc.)

    I have a problem with my bilboard trees, shrubs and grass. They look 100% fine when lit by sun, but are too dark when they are rotated against the light source. Now I know that looking straight into the sun is supposed to make everything else pretty much black in real life (and will make your...

    3DS Max 2012 x64 GMT exporter billboards BUG

    Confirmed - just tried exporting same object in max 2012 x86 (32 bit) and it is working fine in the game. Avoid using the x64 plugin until this is fixed.

    3DS Max 2012 x64 GMT exporter billboards BUG

    Thank you for the suggestion, but detaching the sub-elements, centering pivots and re-attaching did not fix the issue. The problem simply begins for me when there is 17 or more screen-aligned-quads in one object. That is all. I will install max 2010 32 bit now and check if the problem persists.

    3DS Max 2012 x64 GMT exporter billboards BUG

    I've just wasted a whole day trying to set up stamp vertex alpha billboard branches for 3D trees. And yes, I have followed the documentation, the tutorials, the forums, the cheat sheet: vertex bottom line 1 > 2 triangulation from top left to bottom right vertex alpha set to 99.99 gmt exporter >...

    How long would it take to create a 5 km track?

    Thank you for the reply. So it is worse than I feared ;). But I do know now that there are hundreds of details all over the track that must be individually taken care of and properly tested so that makes sense. Just to make sure - we are talking about full time work (8-9 h a day) and still 4...

    How long would it take to create a 5 km track?

    So... I am a 3d modeler at an architectural visualisation company. my boss has recently given me a task to evaluate creating a full 3D track for a sim game. So I went into research mode and (3,5 days later...) managed to get a working road model in Rfactor 2 Dev Mode. However, judging by that...

    What is needed to make a standing start on a track?

    Hello! I'm currently building my first track in max 2012. So far i managed to make a working road and terrain. I'm running in Dev Mode. At first my car spawned in [0,0,0] point. After I set up a pit and garage (in the AIW options) the car is spawning there. Then I made a race grid starting...
