No Pressure Knappo but I have modeled up some higher detail versions of the new BMW wheels. They are ready to do the first AR render once the skin is complete Need to adjust the tread texture a bit but they should look pretty neato on a new model.

Cripes!! lol

What do you use to do your renders Righty?

I Just use the native Lightwave renderer. It has had some significant changes of late which have made massive speed increases and quality improvements. Good fun doing the Beta testing as well as I get constant updates.

I have a better render that I will chuck up when I get home from work.

All the objects I create can be exported in 3DS format and OBJ.

Why do you ask sir?

Geebas

Now lets hope they release the skin template a day or 2 earlier than the car like they did with the BF1.
Great work on the wheels Righty. Cant wait to see what you churn out over your holidays you bastard!!!!

Just interested. I use Studio Max with V-Ray and I've noticed that all the different renderers are getting much closer to each other in terms of appearence and quality these days.

Here is the wheel/tyre again with better texture settings.

far out.... great work!

out of interest... what are the PC specs for the machine you use to render, and how long does it take (for the render above) ?

From Motorsport news...

Thia bloke would be good @ skinning....

I'm about to do a major system upgrade... more like I am building a new machine. Currently on my AMD64 3700+ with 2gig of PC 3200 ram, that took about 2hours and 15 minutes. But the actual res I rendered it out as was 3840x2160. I had the AA and global illumination settings cranked up to "Print" standard so it's pretty crisp.

Half that res would hae taken roughly around an hour. It's not really a linear increase. Twice the res tends to mean more then twice the render times in my experience.

NNNIICEEEE!!!!

My god Righty! They nearly look real

yeah thats sexy. The FMR machine is at 50%

Nice work... after seeing that, can't believe I had anything to do with those horn looking skins!

Great work Mr

FMR skin is done, anyone willing to render it for me? our resident renderer doesnt have the tools as of yet

is there a tutorial somewhere for rendering? wouldn't mind giving it a go sometime

r8response wrote:is there a tutorial somewhere for rendering? wouldn't mind giving it a go sometime

sure there is probably a few. try master skinners, i think there is a thread on it. And there are quite a few tutorials there, wouldn't be suprised if there is a rendering one. I have the gear to do it. But i have not taught myself as of yet, kinda deliberately cos i dont need any more hobbies.

Send it my way champ.

I have done some scene refining. Keen to test it out.

Ok... so I've stumbled this far... where do I get a skin to try to put on the car?

wow that render looks incredibly good. Dunno about the wheels though. Those fronts are way too wide. Did the original wheels come with the model at all?

Wow Exar, that looks great!!

Yep, but they're really low poly. I agree that they're a bit wide (they're early 90s F1 ). I was just trying to get the car into max and set something up really - but i'll go make the wheels a little narrower now.

So ummm... skins?

edit:



Skins work woohoo! (I'm new at this LFS rendering thing in case that hasn't quite come through ) Narrowed the wheels too now. Will have a go at doing more stuff tonight.
