TADS Posted September 13, 2010 Report Posted September 13, 2010 hi all... im Coding a Render Application for heat its called Heat3D im looking for the "ok" from the Car modelers to get the cars from heat and use them in the Application??? its Mainly aimed at people that dont have or cant use 3Ds Max and a "easyer" way to render there skins on the cars... ALSO looking for a moeler or 2 to help me make a few different scenes for it.... or if there is any around that i could have that i could put in.... F.A.O Car/track makers.... This Application will be OPEN for you to make new scenes and add them in yourself... and add in the new cars that come out... i will post a couple of shots from the application ... i have been coding this solid for 5 days!!!! and hoping to have it out VERY soon but its Mainly now down to converting heat cars to put in and making new scenes!!!! PLEASE Post on here or PM me if you can help TADS
Tricky88 Posted September 14, 2010 Report Posted September 14, 2010 Thats a great idea m8 and i hope you get it off the ground , when i used to have max i would use it alot as i was painting the cars to make sure the signs etc looked right as i went along but max could be difficult to work out until you where used to it so this will be a great tool for painting
TADS Posted September 14, 2010 Author Report Posted September 14, 2010 (edited) now loading .tga for the Skin... so easyer for heat painters when doing there cars Edited September 14, 2010 by TADS

TADS Posted December 4, 2010 Author Report Posted December 4, 2010 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
Tricky88 Posted December 4, 2010 Report Posted December 4, 2010 looking good m8 cant wait for its release
South Posted December 4, 2010 Report Posted December 4, 2010 Top work tads, also looking forward to using it. Like the 3dr cos too.
TADS Posted December 5, 2010 Author Report Posted December 5, 2010 **********************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!!!
TADS Posted December 5, 2010 Author Report Posted December 5, 2010 (edited) and one in the empty scene i have and last one with i think better shadowing... Edited December 5, 2010 by TADS
munch264 Posted December 6, 2010 Report Posted December 6, 2010 looks the dogs mate : cant wait for it
jamie c Posted December 6, 2010 Report Posted December 6, 2010 looking great tads, i think the thing with the shadows is, that their to crisp? they need to slightly distored/ blured round the edge i think also the tarmac texture could be better other than that, spot on mate
TADS Posted December 6, 2010 Author Report Posted December 6, 2010 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
