Also how can we change this in a mod? Stupid question maybe?

I think the amount of glow in the GSMF-guy’s screenshots seems more reasonable. It needs to be discreet, great job though

Nice work Geggo. You have found the balance between too dull and too shiny and have achieved a more realistic look.

It would be possible to make it affect only certain cars in a mod,
but probably not without editing the gen file.

A less clean look could be achieved by editing the alphachannel of the car skins.

Please note,
that i will only upload the cubemap texture itself,
what you´re gonna make out of it,
will be up to you ;)

6e66o does that texture update afect all cars or does it has to be done on peer car basis, in other words is that texture in a single rf folder or in eatch car folder.
Oh and thnaks, looks realy nice
Cant it be done so the cars look a litle less “clean”?

Great song :)

It does look good. It just seems to have something cartoon-ish when looking at the cars, but only over roof, sidepanel look good :) very good. Good work
PS. great song :)

Yes Gronzi,
i will upload it soon, after some more testing ;)

Raikku,
its the texture for the reflections on the car.
It doesnt cost any performance, if you dont change the size of it, i guess.

What are those “cubemaps” and what they do? How about fps’s after changing them?

without watching the video I can say 75% of mods in rF have fecked up env/cube maps/mapping.. a few are so bad as to be un watchable/enjoyable.
