[RELEASE] new Cubemaps

New Cubemaps by 6e66o



How to use it:

Search for used cubemap file in your game installation.


Usually it´s placed in a mas/gtr archive in the vehicle folder of your mod/game

Rename my cubemap and paste it in the folder the original cubemap/mas is located.


F.e.

With rF´s CTDP05 Mod you will have to copy your cubemaps called "car_cube_dx9.dds" in
"GameData\Vehicles\CTDP\CTDP", where CTDP05.mas is located

With GTR2 you will have to copy your cubemaps called "EMAP.dds" in
"GameData\Teams" where stex.GTR is located.

etc.

You can also find out how the file must be called opening the car mesh with 3DSimed and looking for the material names.




IMPORTATNT:
Some Mods use an Alpha Chanell in their Car Paints.
You can increase/decrease the amount of reflections on your car by changing the Brightness of it.
Brighter means more Reflections.


******************************************

Feel free to use the file
in your mod projects,
I hope you enjoy!

  5. The effects look excellent, but I'm confused as to how you get the new cubemap to work in rFactor. Do you have to drop it in the folder for every mod, or just the "vehicles" folder?

  7. 6e66o,
    How do you get Historic gt for rfactor working?Tryed emap.dds, Car_cube_dx9.dds? Cant seem to get this to work only with that mod? Looks great in your screens of the cobra

    ReplyDelete
  8. OK thanks 6e66o. One more question: what is the difference between the 512px and 256px files? And what do the percentages mean?

    ReplyDelete
  9. amtgman,
    depends where the original cubemap is located..

    jdaddle,
    for historX its emap.dds (or maybe emap_paint.dds) in comunes.mas
    "Vehicles\HISTORIC GT\HISTORICAL FIA GT"

    Wim,
    they have differenz size and transparency.
    bigger size means better resolution,
    more transparency means more reflections.

  10. So, cause I'm very stupid, suppose I wan't your cubemaps working with CTDP05:

    1) Unzip new_Cubemaps.7z, obtaining:
    new Cubemaps\by 6e66o\CAR_CUBE.dds, CAR_CUBE_less shiny.dds & CAR_CUBE_more shiny.dds (an other files as well).

    2) Copy file "new Cubemaps\by 6e66o\CAR_CUBE.dds" to "C:\Program Files\rFactor\GameData\Vehicles\CTDP\CTDP\" folder.

    3) Rename CAR_CUBE.dds (copied in 2) to "car_cube_dx9.dds".

    Is that right?

    ReplyDelete
  11. yes,
    as stated in the description.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Cant get it to work. Tried everything for CTDP 05 but nothing works.

    I copy 1 of the cubemaps to the CTDP folder stated, rename it car_cube_dx9.dds and nothing changes ingame.

    What am I doing wrong?

    ReplyDelete
  13. Ingame Details set to high? DX9?

    ReplyDelete
  14. Yeah everything is maxed. No idea whats up. It's really annoying as this update looks fantastic.

    I'll download MMG and see if that works.

  15. 6e66o,

  16. Hi, i saw the pics and i liked them very much. Great Job! I would like to use them with GTR EVO but i have no idea how and where to put the files. Also i am a little bit confused because there are a lot of files in the package. Can you help me to use your maps with GTR EVO too? Thank you very much!

    ReplyDelete
  17. To get this working in Evo:

    Pick a Cubemap from the Pack,
    (I´d suggest "Car_cube_more shiny)
    rename it to emap_paint.dds
    and put it in your GameData/Teams Folder (make a backup, in case you want to go back to the original).

    ReplyDelete
  18. What I don't get: what exactly are the files in the GSMF-Folder for?

    ReplyDelete
  19. Okay, now I've got the new cubemaps working. For those of you still trying to get it to work, here's what I did, in addition to copying them to the mod's folder.

    To get the new files to work, you need to edit the .MAS file. To do so, ISI has a .MAS editor utility on rfactor.net. Open the .MAS file with the editor, and look for the cubemap files. They may have a different name, so read carefully. Also, making a backup of your .MAS file couldn't hurt. Rename the maps you pasted to those currently in the .MAS. Delete the original maps, then replace them with the new ones. Save the new .MAS file, and enjoy...

  30. 6e66o,

    i think you can improve it by giving more reflection on them because the reflection is like only half of the f1 car

    hope you can do it

    ReplyDelete
  31. Keep in mind that the same cubemap can look very different depending on the modell.

    But i actually made a new Version, with more diffuse light reflections.

    Im probably going to upload it at some point.

    cheers!

  34. Boobs, my bad but umm, u didnt really tell anything about where to put those sky,dock,carwash files :x

    Sorry for doublepost

    ReplyDelete
  35. Those files are cubemaps too!

    you dont install every file, but only the one you pick!

    So its up to you if you use "more shiny" oder "dock" cubemap, or whatever!

  36. Es excelente! Muchas gracias locos, sigan así! Desde Argentina un saludo cordial.
