Holyyyy Crap i thought this was a real tire, and what a amazing job. Just cant believe how real they look.

What is that mapped at? 4096X4096? Looks real good. Did you have to change any of the actual material settings within Max?

The Tire_Diffuse map I used for the render is 2048x2048...but my source image is roughly 6000x6000. The render I posted earlier is one of your scenes, Dan, just with the car bodies and all but one tire hidden. To get everything to fit right, the in-game MIP and the render texture are different, but I'll be releasing both. I'd actually like to release to the render guys first just to make sure everything works well with all of the scenes.

No material changes made. I did make a reflection map to give the sticker a slight bit of shine to it but that's all. No bump map either...don't feel it's necessary.

My computer might need therapy to handle this.

We aren't just updating the rubber...there's an update to the metal inside as well.

As with the tires, this update was made using high-res shots of a real NASCAR wheel.

These are going to templates too?

 

[James Hodge]

Yeah, it's a template update; will replace the existing rim layers.

 

[Italo Rapacci]

Yes yes and yes! Obviously will work together with the tire texture.
This sounds awesome and realistic. Can't wait!

Dude this is awesome. Things like this is why this sim still lives.

Glad someone finally decided to update my rims. I never liked the way they came out when I finished them.

 

[MattyO]

Don't forget to do the rim fix (thin black outline) around the border of the rim so it hides the jaggies with colored rims!

 

[James Hodge]

Yep, that's already updated. I also replaced the rim line. Everything is brand new, basically.

There pretty much the same as the chrome just half chrome half wheel some editing in gimp or photoshop would take car of that easy.

Can't wait to get my hands on these puppies.

[James Hodge]

Small update to the rims. Getting very close to being ready for release.
