Re: The Lifetyle - DDMX488
I think smoothing the off track terrain will do.
Re: The Lifetyle - DDMX488
i'd preffer to keep the track but take out some tree's banners etc....much rather ride a good ugly track than a bad pretty track.
what are your system spec's?

Re: The Lifetyle - DDMX488
I tried to edit the offtrack with the snap thingy with the editor, it worked pretty well so im running it smooth
Re: The Lifetyle - DDMX488
the billboards and decals don't seem to have an effect?
Re: The Lifetyle - DDMX488
I haven tested to delete those yet. Snaping did a positive effect so I was happy with it.
Re: The Lifetyle - DDMX488
Here is the updated terrain. It is smoothed out with the hopes of improving performance on low end pcs. The actual track terrain has not been changed, just the offtrack.
If you are still having problems let me know and I can upload a billboards file with fixes also.
Unzip and replace the previous terrain.png with this one.

Re: The Lifetyle - DDMX488
wow.. pretty amazing. love the track. Really has a clay-track feel to it with the sharp -jagged breaking bumps and the sheen on the jump faces. Im getting a touch of lag but my computer is kind of a peice of shit.
Re: The Lifetyle - DDMX488
did you try the "less lag" terrain.png file a couple of posts up? that might help in that department

Re: The Lifetyle - DDMX488
You have to do a bit of editing to the track.pov file when you have your own billboards. I removed all of the grass billboards from the file, and changed your tree to jtamarack_42, thats why the shadows don't look like your tree. Also, I scaled up the size of the tree shadows, which is done at the top of shadows.pov, change the 3.xxxxxx*0.66 to 3.xxxxxx*1 (xxxxxx = bunch of numbers) in the jtamarack_42 part. Then, when rendering the shadow, because you scaled down your track, only part of the rendered image is of the track. You render it at 2050x2050, then crop it to 1025x1025. Complicated eh?
Re: The Lifetyle - DDMX488
yeah, but definitely worth it
