There is a bug in the tangent vector generation for weighted meshes. I should have it fixed in a bit. (Nothing complicated. I just forgot to copy them.)

Yomo, for the mesh you use to create the normal map, there is no limit. For the mesh you bake that onto, you want just enough detail to get the basic shape/profile right.

JLV, first off awesome update. I can tell my weekend will be busy. But Im having a bit of trouble with the update. I have an object working and the specular mapping is working, no normal mapping yet but the problem is everytime the shaders are on my track goes completely black. Like even the font is black. Any ideas?

Ok thanks for the help!
Just out of interests sake does the game use alot more memory now that it needs to render more textures? Would that be video memory?

Whats the go with getting these babies to repeat? For Broadmeadow, my dam mesh was waterplane.jm, and texture is watertex-repeat. The only wat I can get it to show up, is using waterplane_norm.png, but this does not tile. Just has a square in the middle, with the rest of the sides stretched. Similar to my problem with the flowing water texture

Yomo: Yes, it uses more texture memory now. 3x as much if the colour map, normal map and specular map are used at the same resolution.

Looks sweet, cannot wait for the eye candy, (even though I will only enjoy the goods while making videos or photos as my computer can't handle them at speed). Hopefully that will change fairly soon with a new computer. I tried out the 'skip' feature, and great work! Now when I recap tomorrow's race I can fast forward to the good parts without having to wait forever to get there!

Now I added a bump map to it and I cant see anything thats white(as far as the menu,speedometer and pit board goes) once I load the track.

I just posted another update that should fix issue with the rider normal maps.

There might be a clue in lastlog.txt.

Try "watertex_norm-repeat.png". I need to do some more work on that though. It would be nice to have tiled animated textures for water.

It looks like they compiled without errors. I'll see if I can see anything wrong tomorrow.

[Goardy]

I was just about to post about having issues with the maps loading, only to discover that not only has it been discussed, but completely remonstrated
high levels of developer/community interaction is the bomb.

[REIDY-171]

I can't wait for the normal maps to be implemented on the models. It's gonna look amazing. Great Job JLV.

[Wilson]

Ok guys I got a normal map for the rider. Its not an offical release or anything but itll give you a general idea of how normal maps look in action.

This is what you basically want the image to look like. Of course its just luiz shading converted to normal map. Im sure you can achieve a better result if you spend more time.
Thanks luiz for his template and adhkcrfhonda for 1 of your skins(I didnt think you would mind)

[brasher454]

is there a easier way for people not so good with computers or anything! haha

[DJ99X]

I've got a bug similar to what WilsonATV had

When I was just testing a silo then, which only had a specular map, the billboards and hud went slightly transparent (proportionally to how much alpha was used in the specular map). Something weird happened with the decals. And the silo had weird shading. The specularity didnt seem to be working. This object had no split vertices :S. Heres a pic.



Then, I added a normal map as well. The silo did what it was supposed to do, but everything other than the models went full ambient, whith the alpha problem gone.



When I removed the specular map, and kept the normal map, it did the exact same as the above, but without the specularity. Funny that this didnt happen with the logs and rocks on my Endurocross track

[DJ99X]

Just a quick specular map for the ddmxv2 model. Really adds another level of detail eh
