You make no sense saying you was working on Cinematography as cinematography....Painting, Video, Film etc etc works with composites. Fair point on the FOV now that i look at the movie more and more. I'll keep this in mind for the next video :) In regards to my wrong choice of words... by 'cinematog...

Yowzers at the FOV. Lower it a bit. Also wondering why you would edit the whole video with After Effects. Especially seeing as there was no real noticeable CC or effects in there. Not a bad video tho. Hey, thanks for the feedback. FOV was hovering around 55 - 60. To my understanding, this translate...

Hey everyone,

A composition of me riding on "Mission Valley", one of my favourite MX tracks.



Used After Effects and Fraps,

Enjoy

Awesome Jasper, those screenshots are awesome, thumbs up! Sorry I didnt have your bike and rider skins... they look pretty kool!

Thanks for the posts,

A race at Mission Valley, Jasper's Upside down whip!! and my old school whip on da honda

Has anyone got this massive urge to triple the set after the finish line jump? Ive tried it a couple of times, but it seems dodgy and a little slower :/

Thanks For the help 'robbimagg'

Hey MXS Community,

Just wondering how to apply normal and specular maps?

Is there a naming convention? I'm assuming they need to be named similar to the texture/skin of the bike/rider.

Regards,

Ah I see, that would explain why they are rendered in real-time. Initially this topic was intended to confirm 'non-resource hungry graphics', namely specular and normal mapping, but i kind of went off topic with the whole radiosity thing, which I know kills processors when rendering... Those develop...

Ah right you are, i might be getting confused with ambient occlusion... I notice games, say colin mcrae dirt 2, have some sort of indirect lighting, not sure if it is baked or real time, but it sure looks good. Dynamic shadow mapping maybe? Although I believe this has already been brought up/ in dev...

It was a very exciting time when normal and spec maps were introduced! I Bet!!! ha ha, they really do help ;) BTW, its a one man development team An excellent display of true indie game developing i say, good to see that a useful community is right behind him as well ;) And by indirect lighting, i ...

Wow, ok well ive only got the demo version (until tomorrow :P), so i guess when I put some custom textures and actually try applying normal and specular maps this game is going to look sweet :) So glad that these features are available :D Has the development team thought about any indirect lighting ...

Just thought i would plop in a suggestion for the Simulator's real-time rendering shaders. I see a lot of people are 'baking' lighting on their models via direct textures, but as these images are static i cannot see whether they are truly normal maps, or whether they are baked in texture form. I pos...
