Update Speculation thread

No, it's simply about sorting out what transparent texture need to appear on top of the other. It's a common problem.

 

That only adds smudges to the windshield & lights on the cars (you can see it best on D-Series' windshield), doesn't make them dirty overall

 

Fair enough.

 

its not its the same as the bar thats on it now

 

Posted in wrong thread lmao

 

I mean, how is this an update speculation? I could say this is updates related cause of new members but not speculations at all

 

Christ i posted this in the wrong thread

 

Headlight glass refraction support?

 

I now dare to speculate that there will be graphical improvements

 

Not sure if this has been considered before, but I highly anticipate that Italy will get PBR support and maybe a slight remaster in 0.25, just like how it was released for the first time in conjunction with the Piccolina in 0.15. Italian car? Italian map? It makes sense to me.

PS, this is my first message on the forums after an eternity of lurking. Do not laugh.

 

You're not alone, we're all anticipating Italy to get PBR sometime.
Also, a slight remastering/refreshing will only do this map good, although I don't see anything missing from it.
Autobello certainly needs an expansion in its range of models. The Piccolina is amazing and a remastering will only do this car good too but it just can't be the only choice. A whole range of models based on the rear-mounted Flat-4 concept can be created.

 

i'd say that's more likely them finessing the way they did the emission on the vivace headlights, where they baked all the details of the scattered light from blender's cycles engine into the emission textures.

 

Yea, it's a possibility. But it looks like the reflector behind the glass is viewed from above. Like there is geometry behind the glass that's being refracted. It's also not something super crazy to achieve for the devs I guess since they recently have done pbr for both maps and cars. They know how to write shaders.

 

Didn't they do this for the Pessima?

 

No there is no refraction support in beam currently. Other than pre rendered emission maps as was pointed out before.

 

Result will be soon....

 

we've teaser thursdays before

 

And the fridge was announced a friday if i remmember well

 

whats that supposed to mean

 

It supposed to mean that we will get a teaser soon. Today, tomorrow or next week
