Update Speculation thread

A whole bunch including the official vehicles, not sure if anything actually changed tho

 

Good work, Dr. Watson!

 

Updated PBR pictures of cars, I think.

Windows are more windows like now:

 

Pretty sure that's the same as the one in the public build unfortunately. I was mistaken, the vehicles page hasn't been updated but others have

 

While preparing for PBR textures I've made some highpoly 4k textured test object, basically thinking of making a really realistic photo room but based in nature, even before the update it looks really good and this is without normal maps and specular maps

so Beamng render (photomode) vs Blender Cycles I wonder how will it look after 0.23 update

 

Oh my god the paint looks like paint

 

sus

 

These tdev words made me think 0.23 won't be released tomorrow, what you guys think?

 

*agrees sadly*

 

I agree. The update probably won't roll out until July. Mid-July I would say. If not the start of August is also possible.

 

Devs: *exist*
This thread today: "Obvious evidence of immediate update"

 

Lol

 

Considering all the teasers that got posted today, wouldn't that be a little too long?

 

Not sure everything needs to be updated to PBR for this update but might just be me hoping lol

 

I think there was a (possibly deleted) post in the discord that said the piano might not be updated to PBR right away for 0.23. I also don't think the maps use PBR, just the cars, although there are lighting and fx updates

 

Yeah the maps don't. Just the cars currently. But I do hope the maps will some time.

 

I guess it could be a thing that they add in stages. guessing even if it was a late July update (tbh I didn't expect the Wendover update to be released when it did) the artist teams wouldn't have the texturing ready 100%.

Talking about new textures, I would love to have some fake chrome aftermarket hubcaps.

 

yeah idk

so would this mean if say mods for a car that added different body panels, would those need to be mapped or smth?

 

Yeah everything would presumably have to be updated to pbr to match the vehicle, though considering the maps aren’t updated yet I’m sure the textures are still backwards compatible
