Track illumination

[damo]

I need help with track illumination..my tracks look like this in assetto corsa and i cant figure it out even messed with illumination in kseditor and nothing

Happy to help but I think you need to give us more detail on your KsEditor settings and the texture ambient and diffuse values. The illumination tab in KsEditor will just give you an impression of how your track looks in different conditions I believe, it won't change anything itself.

im a complete noob with kseditor so sorry if i dont understand something..is this what you mean ..

 

[damo]

i started messing about with the values and realised its making it better so ill go fine tune them now to my liking ...thanks for the help ..i guess i just needed to know what to look for ..

I would start with Ambient and Diffuse value of 0.3 as a base.

and probably not 0.8 but something like 0.0 for ksSpecular, only use higher vals like 0.1 for reflective surfaces

 

[damo]

thanks guys

i have one more question is it possible to set objects solid and not drive througable and set alphas in kseditor

 

[fughettaboutit]

use Shader "ksPerPixelAT"
set blendmode to "alphatest" (dont set obj to transparent)

-or-
use Shader "ksPerPixelAlpha"
set blendmode to "alphatest" (dont set obj to transparent)
set "alpha" to 0 (default)


Rename the object in Blender/3dSMax to somethin with a number in front:
1ROAD_1a

When using WALL in the objects name, then it will also be physical active and "collideable"

 

[damo]

thanks iv got alot of objects to rename lmao
edit:i guess i could join them up then rename

 

[Gunnar333]

Please have a look at how it’s done in a proper modeled track like the ones from Kunos.
Walls should be separately modeled simple objects like extruded splines that you hide with render=false.
If an object is too complex you’ll get into trouble with cars stuck into the wall, etc…

i sure will ..thanks again.
