Appeal on all painters!

Hi!

It would be great if you (the painters) could offer an option for slow computers like the Renault R29 from Rom1 and Reivilo. This car uses only one texture and it works great on my PC. That would be very good for GP4 Players without High-End Computers (like me).

I think most of the painters prefer to work on 1 texture, I know I do
but it's not up to the painters but it's the job of the mapper that has to decide how much textures will be used

you can do it yourself with SlimTex or TexResizer.

if you need further instructions, i can post them.

Re-mapping car with 3 textures to have just 1 texture? Wow I want to learn to do it with those programs. Maybe it is easier than with zmodeler..

Kimi, so, Massa Fernando Sebastian is faster than you. Can you confirm you understood that message?

The Rom1's R29 works with 1x2048 that is the same as 3x1024 (as Fongu and I use to deliver). Playing with LODs will also make your game to run smoother.

sorry, that was poorly worded. i was referring to the first post, and if any cars' textures are too big for his/her computer, then they can reduce the size in those programs.

you can't do the remapping in those programs

@ raulongo: Well, I know. But I have resized the texture on 1024x1024. So I have one texture whith 1,32mB and the car looks great. This keeps the cars.wad small and I can play GP4 very good.

What do you mean with "Playing with lods"?

keeping the wad small is ok but the quality is pants, especially with lower res textures, but i suppose its better for the lower end pc,s. When you think of some rfactor carsets are over 1gb in size, i have wads over 500mb to keep quality as high as possible, wouldnt bother me too much if they were bigger as long as the quality is high.

With low detailed carshape (3D Mesh). And of course, if you have resized the 1x2048 to 1x1024, you'll have to do that on 3-textured cars, but from 3x1024 to 3x512.

Raul, How is 3x1024 the same as 1x2048 .

He just said that if you have only one texture in 2048*2048, you have to resize it in 1024*1024 ...But if you have 3 textures for a car, you have to resize the 3 textures. ;o)

Willb, maths will tell you 1x2048=12Mb 3x1024=9Mb (in terms of BMP/TGA). Even it's better

3 x 1024 textures are the best in my opinion,the cars look way better than 1 x 2048

I will go with LWC. I, personally, prefer 3x1024 textures.

INDEED!!

Hi!

3x1024 textures would be great!!!!!! So the car is only 5-7 mB big. That is what my computer needs.
