NEW SCREEN SHOT SKIN PAINTING FORUM YOU CAN NOW MOVE THE LIGHT AROUND IN REAL TIME THAT MOVES THE SHADOWS..... UI: now being redesigned and an im now coding an auto updater BETA version out in few days!!!!!!!

Thanks to Tricky88... i have my own part of his skin painting forums.... seams abouyt right to have this on a skin painting forum Heat3D Forums now open!

yes you are right with the shadowing... im trying to code a shader into the application to give the shadows a "blur" to make them more realistic... the "tarmac" is really a garage floor... like the hard wearing floor paint that u find in a tyre depo n that lol thanks for replys Kev

and one in the empty scene i have and last one with i think better shadowing...

**********************UPDATE ON Heat3D************************ Things are slowly getting better..... i stole a skin off the skin painting thread and rendered a mk2 granny.... (hope ya dont mind) Shadows are getting better... but still just missing that something! here is 2 screen shots... oh and i have put mu Heat3D Garage scene in aswell Think its time to stop for one evening!!!

yes i am.... still making it... i have totally recoded the whole thing now you can chose if you want lights and shadowing on after the scene and car has been loaded.... im just tryiing to make it easyer now to loads scenes.. and give the moelers (if people want to make new scenes for it) more control over the scene... just an update for you

IMHO IF you want to play rFactor i would go for a desktop pc as you need good graphics card and not realy the onbord type ok i might get shot down here for saying that as some do use onbord BUT if you want to see what rFactor is like you need to have something that is NOT sharing the ram of your pc/laptop.. i have # Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T5270 # (1.5 GHz, 800 MHz FSB, 2 MB L2 cache) # 1 GB Ram # 80 GB Hard Drive, 5400 rpm # DVD±RW (+R double layer) / DVD-RAM # 15.4" TFT 1280 x 800 ( WXGA ) # Intel GMA X3100 Graphics # Microsoft Windows Vista and rFactor is very slow and get like 15fps when im in test mode (with no other cars on track) something like this would be ok and just get yourself a PCIE grpahics card to go in it desktop pc please note this is just my opion im not saying GO GET IT! hope it helps TADS
