idk anything about 3dSadoMaso, is there python scripting?

Ahahahaha you’re right it is sado maso loool
But I’ve bathed for so long in 3dsmax that I continue on that path.

I really don’t know about python in 3dsmax but i imagine since it has scripts that it has usable code language..

maxscript, looks like javascript to me

Quick question all, do I make a kn5 per material ?

Noooooo, usually just one, or you can separate by certain objects, like one for the main track, one for trees and vegetation, one for the timing objects, one for vehicles and crowd... etc

Ok just checking thank you. I’m experiencing some lag in certain parts of the track due to the details of all the walls and fences, and I haven’t even made more buildings and details yet, so I was wondering how I could bring the fps down a bit without losing quality.

Use the render stats app, and check your DIPs etc

Thank you for that, your advice reminded me that I need to make invisible physical meshes that are less greedy on the CPU. Right now my walls are actually what we see in game Walls + Poles + Fence is one object, repeated a certain number of times, so of course the track's gonna lag.
Doing this I'm sure this will reduce the CPU usage considerably too.

Oh yeah, if they are set for collisions, then there’s your issue. If you still have the splines, just make a simple wall that is a few meters high and goes past the asphalt underneath

Yup they sure are set for collisions....! So I'm gonna change their name, take the spline that I used to make them and just create an extended poly.
This should also help for making AI right ?

Yes, but make sure you are finished with all the physical meshes first, or you'll have to record a new line everytime.

Can't wait to get home and resolve this issue !! Thank you !

Ok, well.... I did the physical invisible wall... runs a bit better, buit still not optimum in my opinion. Feels heavy, so I guess I need to tweak some stuff around.
Anyways, here's some eye candy: Did some additional sponsor walls.

This represents this part here of the real track:

Ok, newer issue:
I can do 1 installation lap, nice and neat, my pc runs nicely.
Once I get past 1/2 of the track on my 2nd lap, my pc goes bonkers insane... like the biggest lag since DiRT on windows 3.1.

Anybody had this issue before ?

Run the performance monitor app while this is happening, taken a screenshot, curious to see the numbers

 

[EKO Sim-Racing]

I had run the track, not even 3/4ths into the lap it started bugging, quickly hit the printscreen button..:

So what can we make of this ?
EDIT: is there a place somewhere on my hardrive that says where the peak performances of this track are ? like a log or something ?

I think your tri count might be a tad too high, almost 21 mil!

 

[EKO Sim-Racing]

...and how should I reduce that ? Is that polycount ?

 

[Gunnar333]

...and how should I reduce that ? Is that polycount ?

Yes.
Try to reduce it to similar numbers as kunos tracks

 

[EKO Sim-Racing]

Yes.

damn, i wanted to make a really detailed track, oh well.

Funny thing is, I didn't add so many polys between yesterday and last month... just a bit of ads and the physical wall mesh, which isn't that heavy. I don't get it.
And it was running fine before I went on vacation.
