Re: UW Vehicle_track2 ?

you need to pick the very middle point (mesh control point) and place it in the very middle of texture (both on top and bottom rows). then do the same with the left half and the right half. Keep dividing and adjusting point position until vertical lines more or less accurate. horizontal rows are ali...

Re: UW Vehicle_track2 ?

yup. a bit inaccurate. the lines in uv mapper should be vertical. yours are tilted. add some control points in a bottom row and move them horizontally to make shape in uv more accurate with no skew or tilt. P.S. you control points on top row are not uniform, some of them are a bit shifted to the lef...

Re: Race Driver 3 .col track Files important!

ZModeler2 has no bump-support, so it is quite likely it can't generate good S- and T- normals for bump-mapped material. The model has probably non-smooth normals too if Surface\Normals\Calculate was applied ever (and the mesh has seams / open edges for uv-mapping purpose). lights_plastic might be us...

Re: UW Vehicle_track2 ?

you switch the uv-chart in UVMapper to manipulators level exactly the same way as you switch objects to vertices or polygons level.

UV chart that can be manipulated has pink boundary lines and the one that can't - green lines.

this is vertex stride I think. Size of single vertex in bytes. The hint is here: tVertexMatchInfo g_vtxMatchInfo[] = { {0x18, 3, VERTEX_HAS_POSITION | VERTEX_HAS_1UV | VERTEX_HAS_1COLOR , -1, 3, 4,-1}, //{0x18, 2, VERTEX_HAS_POSITION | VERTEX_HAS_NORMAL, 3,-1,-1,-1}, {0x20, 3, VERTEX_HAS_POSITION | ...

the resource file "zmVersion.rc2" is included in SDK\API folder. But you have to specify this folder for "additional resource files paths", this is not an "Include path" for header .h files.

Hello. You should use Edit UV in "Generate new" and "Unwrap" mode. Mind to toggle off "continuous mesh surface". Of cause, The model of your fan looks OK with the seam created, so it should be able to unwrap into a patch/lane. Screenshot 2025-02-13 201108.png Screenshot...

track2_emmisive should be bound to vehicle speed rather than engine rpm.

Re: Stop Peds from using roof down on convertible

the issue is either in material configuration or in textures you are using. mix materials/textures and keep testing variations. this is the only way to find what exactly is wrong.

Re: Stop Peds from using roof down on convertible

Reflection is generally controlled by specmap texture. grab a specmap texture from red bus and use it on the white one, to test whether this has an effect or not.

Re: License

Hello.
There is no pausing option for license actually. Once activated, license will expire when its term is over. It doesn't matter whether the product is used or how often is it being used during this period. This is common approach to time-limited digital product/services access.
