Sorry had to do a side by side comparison, and looks ripped lol.

Am I missing something? The graphics look quite different to me.

It's nice to see people trying some new stuff. It's definitely an interesting way of making tracks eventhough I don't think you can get as much details as with decals even with a 16k texture. There must be a better compromise between texture size, decals, maps and overlays to achieve similar results...

If you want to make High Point, you can get a pretty decent terrain out of google earth. I started working on High Point 2014 but I just stopped due to a lack of motivation. This is pretty much straight out of google earth: http://oi59.tinypic.com/2u6lpfm.jpg http://oi60.tinypic.com/2usd3bp.jpg http...

Nice! How do you measure all the panels to make the cutout? I use a large duct tape over the plastics on the bike then I trace the shapes with a pen. When I'm done, I remove the duct tape carefully, stick it on a wall and I write down the measurements on the duct tape. Then I take pictures, trace t...

I juste realized that that's the cutout I made.
That's the bike of the guy who prints the graphics I make.

I'd like a SX track contest. It's been a while.

Wow, some of those others are trash. Hopefully yours wins, it's my favorite for sure. Voted and shared, best of luck. Thanks guys but it looks like I'm already screwed. Apparently you have to make the ugliest design possible to have a chance of winning. It doesn't surprize me though seeing how ugly...

hey guys, would be nice if you could go to this page https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.829170273768436.1073741829.165276560157814&type=1 and "like" my gloves design. It's the blue, green and yellow called " Elektrik ". Thanks! https://scontent-a-cdg.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xaf1/v/t1.0-9/1061410...

To me, the main features missing are dynamic lighting/shadows and ambient occlusion. Add wind animation for trees and grass and animated 3d models to make tracks more alive and I think we can have a nice looking game. Another important feature imo is terrain deformation like in Reflex/Alive and MXGP...

I haven't looked into game engines that much but Unreal Engine 4 is 19$/month +5% of gross revenue and CryEngine is 9.90$/month. Maybe you can just subscribe for one month and then re-subscribe when there's an update that would be useful. Back on topic. IMO 16bits even for editing is overkill for sk...

And now that I've cut down the technique, check out this . Still, it's jumping through hoops to do stuff we can already do without even using a shader. This is exactly what I'd like but I guess it's not gonna happen. To get the same blending results with decals, we would have to either blend two de...

Aside from placing decals according to a color map, what else should it do? I think this is where there is a missunderstanding. I don't want the decals to be placed according to the mask map eventhough it would be handy. With the mask map, you would place the decals normally but instead of seeing t...

Another option: Create 'groups' of decals, with ability to apply a terrain-sized alpha map to the group. I'd rather have that than a tool to automatically place decals. My problem is not the placement, it's the shape of the decals. If you want a precise placement you have to make tiny decals which ...
