Bonjour,

Je déplace ce sujet dans la partie RICHARD BURNS RALLY & RSRBR » CREATIONS For RBR & RSRBR » SPECIALES / TRACKS » Tracks: Tutoriels, Ressources & Aides

Hello,

I put this subject on RICHARD BURNS RALLY & RSRBR » CREATIONS For RBR & RSRBR » SPECIALES / TRACKS » Tracks: Tutoriels, Ressources & Aides part.

Thank you    

thanks Aube,i knew that i mess up something

Maybe you need the ISI tools for 3D Max ? http://www.rfactor.net/developers/
or I miss something..
What do you want to do ? maybe I can make a video for you if you explain me your issue

(because becareful , Rfactor and RBR are totally different. They use the same map format but that's all. )

Sorry for late answer Parlesportes,i have no time this days.I need just simple tutorial for ordinary tree,for RBR track.My problem is no knowledge in 3ds max,any tutorial would be great thing

No worries Zoka.

I have made a little video without sound, but you don't need it I hope that can help you, otherwise feel free to post here to have some explanations or else .



(you can watch it in HD, just click on the "360p" in the player bar and switch to 1080p , it will be more easy to see what I'm doing. )

The second video contain some tips for mapping :

Sorry again for late answer,i tried few minutes ago this tut and its works,many,many thanks Parlesportes for this tutorial,you saved  time and nervs for me and i think for many people.
In first time i did not mentioned that i try to create Xpack for BTB with 3ds max(sorry for that),now i have some old problems,i exported object from max like 3ds file and i have this warrning


Then in Xpacker i have another error


In Xpacker there is  no ObjectTextureTransparent.dds image, just black material


I must manually replace that black texture with ObjectTextureTransparent.dds image,and then in BTB i have correct object


But that tree is not in right position,its below ground,and when in Xpacker try to center object on ground,he is always abowe ground



Is any solution for this,thanks in advance

The warning message under Max say that the texture's name is too long. 3DS format can't support more than 8 character for material's name. That's it. So two solution : 1) you rename the texture before use it in max in order to prevent this warning message ; 2) you don't use 3ds format but DAE with colladaExporter (free).

I'll do a short video to show you this

Here is the Collada Exporter for Max :
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=O702R5W5

It's more powerful than 3DS format and be read by BtbXpacker, so ... use it

I'll do short video to show you the way to build the tree under max and export it into BTBXpacker ( I don't change the properties of the object in the Xpacker but you should to do this) :




- Be sure to do the part of replace the pivot and the Reset Xform , be sure too to convert the object into a mesh ( select object, right click, Convert To > Editable Mesh) before exporting it in DAE format -

I hope it can help you

Sorry again for late reply,and again many thanks Parlesportes for this tutorials,now everything works fine. Finaly i succeed to create simple tree xpack in 3d max.
But my main problem is still here,i was think that some thing cant happend in 3d max.Here is images with my problems




Now,this is the main thing why i  try to escape from google sketchup,that dark sides of objects.The big trees is from Great Britain xpacks,and when you rotate tree in to left or right side or  whole round- the light is same for every side.
But in google sketch up and now in max when i  rotate in left or right side i have that dark sides of object (red arrows are pointed in rotated trees),and that dark sides then in RBR  are too light
Im working on 2 tracks with many trees and this can be very ugly on track.
For example  one tree is correct with light on right side of road,and when i put that same tree on left side of road i want to rotate litlle to avoid same position of that tree,to get some diversity,but then i get that dark light on tree.The thing is when i place tree on ground i must leave tree in that position,or any rotation will change lighting of tree sides

Is any solution for this problem,thanks in advance

Have you did this in the Xpacker on every tree ? :



I'm not sure it was the solution of your problem, but I think it could help. Let me know the result please

Finaly its solved,many many thanks Parle friend ,i cant believe that damn thing is solved,rotating is alowed now . I was think to give up for some time,but now i can go on with tracks.I have to replace many trees,but now it would be easy with nice max  trees.
Im glad to know people like Parlesportes,Zaxxon  and Martinez.I will post here my works,tracks and xpacks, and again  

It's a real pleasure for us to share our knowledge. That's the way to have more and more things on our lovely game (and a way to have a beautiful life)
Please feel free to post on the appropriate section ( WIP BTB Track) your creation, we'll be happy to see your work and drive on it
Good luck
