    Why would anyone complain about driver animation being added? It's simple kinematics that helps with immersion. Remember how much more awesome than rF1 GTR 2 was? Animated driver arms and legs are a small feature that help with immersion.

    It's the internet. If some around here got free money they'd complain about the currency. :p

    Yeah, let's get that guy off of 3DS Max and get him writing code right away! Why didn't we think of this? I'm certain this will improve all aspects of development.

    You made my morning ;)

    I'm wondering how the artists would tackle heel/toe (if at all), blending between two fixed positions ? :)

    I do think it is sad that ISI can't do anything without people complaining, it's getting really old :( (and people
    wonder why most devs don't bother posting)

    I hope you never doing that in real life, otherwise you know what you are. Doing something(or nothing) when is good for you and doing nothing when is not good is even worse than bootlicking all the time.

    You are suggesting for example that the guy working in 3ds max cannot do anything in the 3d models to improve fps at silverstone, to put an example...?

    Examples:

    - Analyse impact in fps of grouping objects into smaller or bigger gmts.

    - Analyse impact of textures and shaders and optimize.

    - replace objects with big impact on shadows or reflections with simpler objects which would not be rendered

    - play with different lod values for objects to try to local fps loss at specific track spots.

    - write guidelines about his conclusions to help other modders within rf2 conmunity

    Are you positive about 3ds max guys can't help improving performance?

    maybe he's doing his job of which includes many aspects of 3d modeling and optimisation, adding legs was another task to be completed.

    Sure thing those are valid points about of graphic optimizations, which should always be taken into consideration when making content. Anyway I believe that Tim was referring more into optimizations needed to done to the software itself.

    No. Tim was being sarcastic but I am already used to it. However I typically think before writing so I was already expecting something like that from him.

    What I didn't realize before, which now is quite clear for me, is that this feature is directly related to karting, where you do see your feet. Therefore I consider it much more important than what I posted yesterday since I was expecting karts for a long time. Let's see if other can change their minds after a discussion.
