Better Graphics than Ror

Are the graphics in beamng going to be better in beamng than rigs of rods? Just curious

 

The graphics are going to be UNBELIEVABLY IMPROVED over RoR. Just look at some of the videos. The graphics are like...real life!

 

What texture resolution do you use for the map shown in rally video, 1024x1024 or higher?

 

Did you work on ROR?

 

The graphics look so awesome in the videos. The fact that they are going to be improved is mind blowing. I am super excited!!! Keep up the amazing work!!

 

Oh, ok I thought he was new, didn't know ROR had an artist. Also, will the detail be scaleable? I know ce3 has graphics options but stuff can change.

 

I dont think it uses a system like that. Its more like an alpha splatting type system (IE you have 5 separate images, ones rock, ones dirt, ect. and they are "painted" on to the terrain and tiled)

Id imagine each of the tiled textures they use would either be 512x512 or 1024x1024 depending on the size of the tiles.

EDIT: unless you are talking about the heightmap and not the textures (which would make a lot more sense), in which case ignore this and read the answer below

He was a highly talented modder for RoR, just like Gabester, Estama and DeGa (the other RoR dudes who are now working on this project)

 

Is the 2048 heightmap do some performance(fps) drop compared to 1024 heightmap, or you can easily use 4096 heightmap without any performance issues?

Yeh, i was talking about heightmap, sorry for confusing you. But i am also curious about textures used for the map shown in rally video.

 

This is the great news for me - thx for the quick reply.
I've Downloaded Cryengine 3 SDK about 3 days ago, just to see how it looks like, and to become familiar with it. Also I am going to make a map "DemolitionDerby Arena", and other maps in the future (well I hope so). It will be some challenge for me, because I was never creating any maps before.

 

Trust me, creating maps with the SDK is pretty easy. A dunderhead like me managed to figure it out in a couple of days.
I've made many a map and its fun experimenting with flow charts.

 

Yes you right. I am already created terrain for DD Arena, it's about 300x300m in size, got 2048x 2048 heightmap. Also mostly finished modeling all objects, things to do are spectator tribunes and pits, then UVmaping and texturing all. Figured out how to export my meshes in to CryEngine3, and how to make them collidable.

 

See but I won't be making maps at this time for BeamNG until beta testing or full game release.
Reason being because I don't want to make a masterpiece if it won't be supported or if the textures mess up I'd be pretty sad. lol.

If there isn't a standard set of textures for us to use I'll throw a pack together or something. It would be great if the editor was bundled with the final game or beta much like the SDK and Crysis games had them set up.

 

BeamNG's graphics engine, Torque3D is good. But is it any good compared to these engines?

• Unreal Engine 4 (Epic Games)
• CryEngine for 8th gen consoles (CryTek)
• Luminous engine (Square Enix)

 

HOLY FUCKING NECROBUMP

Doesn't matter. They're staying with Torque3d for the foreseeable future. Messing with PostFX settings can give incredibly detailed results.

 

Those engines are more powerful graphically at this time, but Tourq3D is being updated all the time, it is open source so people will be adding graphics tweaks updates on there own, so it may catch up to the other engines soon enough although it is not very far behind in the first place.

 

I don't see it ever catching those engines but T3D is free that's why they choose it. With those other engines the price of this game would be a lot higher then it is.

 

So torque3D has better graphics than the other 3 engines?
