    Progress isn’t going too great lol. I’m having FPS problems when I spawn the 14-16th car, which makes it impossible to create a good, realistic scene that makes the world feel alive. If anyone knows how to fix those problems, please DM me!

    I might be slow to this or not, but VRAM usage is very high with ultra graphics on 0.39, which could be the reason for lag problems while making the movie. I hope the devs fix VRAM problems soon enough…

    Quick question: While making the movie, do you plan to take pictures of the appearances of the people who applied in the movie, or are you just not going to spoil it?

    I’ll do a Credits section which shows the names of the characters and if the character is a person who applied, I’ll credit them with their Forum user (similar to FrizErls’ credits section).

    Oh no I know you’ll do that, it’s just that- look you showed some pictures of the footage you did, I was just asking if you were going to take pictures of more footage, but also show some pictures of characters in the movie to let the applicant (including myself) know that there in the movie?

    If he is going to be renamed, I'm gonna suggest Detective Myst. And maybe make the car some shade of purple instead
    (also unrelated, why have I not been getting notifications for this?)
    --- Post updated ---
    Oh, also, another thing, would you mind if I shared this in a few discord servers? Just mine and one of my colleagues (TPW)

    I know I’m not DaveBro or anything, but I don’t think you should, considering applications close tomorrow

    Good name idea! I’ll probably do vehicle color as two-tone (if not, then purple if you want…). There’s also a feature on the Forums that lets you watch a specific thread, I think…

    Sure man! Go for it! I’ll make applications end on August 8th instead.

    Update: I'm going to be on vacation from Thursday-Sunday (or Monday), so no progress on the movie for a while. Movie progress is slow, but it's kind of building up. I'm still having FPS and VRAM problems lol, so not much progress, but some. I think the movie is at least 4% done, to say the least :p.

    Update: Movie progress is halted for now, and that's for a good reason. I have better performance in BeamNG now, but spawning cars without getting a massive lag spike for no reason is mostly impossible. After spawning the second or third car, my FPS drops to about 20-35 FPS, which is really weird. Idk how to fix it, which just sucks. 0.39 kinda just ruined the chance of being able to make a BeamNG movie without getting some stupid performance problems. The movie isn't canceled, but I'll just have to wait until one of the hotfixes maybe fix those problems...

    The way I kinda get around this, and getting around other lag with a bunch of cars, is filming everything in slow motion and then speeding it up in your video editor

    And in the last point you said you have problems spawning car 14-16, now 2-3? At this point I would just change it back to 0.38, at least then would it be better
