Frame Buffer and Jumbotron

Hi:

When I want to configure a Jumbotron in a track, I use "Wet windshield" or "Heat Effect" shaders, because it are the only with "Frame Buffer" available, but the resulting image is like a zoom, don't show a complete image, like T1 shader did.

There is something to improve this, any configuration or new shader to show the complete image buffer?

Thanks.

 

Thanks, it will be fantastic to have T1 shader with frame buffer again, simple and effective.

 

Yep. The T1 shader is all you'll need as the rF2_track_tech pdf says;


Frame Buffer Materials

You can use the frame buffer as a texture. This can be used for video monitors, jumbotrons, etc. This
is pretty easy to do. Simply:

1. Set up a material to use as the surface of the video screen. Typically a T1 shader works fine.
Be sure to set the Emissive color to full white so it can be seen at night.
2. For the material’s T1 texture stage, assign a placeholder texture and check the “Frame
Buffer” checkbox.

Make sure you have properly UV mapped the surface that will display the frame buffer texture. In
order to prevent the effect of the frame buffer infinitely repeating its own image when the frame
buffer is being rendered, simply place a black polygon behind it, and offset it slightly to prevent
sorting issues.


So, I guess it's just something needs to be sorted out in the shader.

 

I try in Lienz.

I use T1 and bink video but can't see the video.

 

Hi guys,

I have a little issue with jumbotrons when the cockpit cam is active, i follow the steps that tuttle explained with one variation in my 3dmax the checkbox "FrameBuffer" is not "visible"

View attachment 7393

so with the 3dsimed 3.0j i've opened the material and set the framebuffer from false to true,but in the game i have this issue in the cockpit cam,

Someone knows what this hapened?

Cheers,

 

Probably a simple alpha sorting issue. I had the same at Fuji where the Jumbotrons are behind a fence, so I removed them entirely.

 

Thanks ethone,

Cheers

 

is this still a z buffer issue? can we use chroma,instead of alpha ?

 

Thanks, but maybe I don't explain me well.

In the first plugins versions, the "Frame Buffer" option was avaiable in T1 Shader, and all was very easy for configure a jumbotron with great results, but now this option is deactivated. Why? It's possible activated it again?

Thanks.

 

Something new about this?

 

Superb, this option was removed and it seems nobody of ISI knows why. The worst thing is that you give instructions that makes time that do not work.
