NFSU2 (Need For Speed Underground 2)

[trail quail]

for people who want to test the roads for nf2 share your rendering if you wish

[jade briar]

Too bad, the road textures in underground 2 are highly specialized, so a generic road texture won't do much.

[balmy chasm]

It can be used as base at least

[trail quail]

ok it's really a shame I think to help or give help if someone is looking for textures tell me what type of resolution type you are looking for I am very good at finding textures

[jade briar]

I'd rather you be very good at making textures

[surreal ruin]

Yeeeh we've a bunch of artists in here who make textures ourselves

[trail quail]

I'm good at creating presets for reshade

[surreal ruin]

We're not using reshade

We're using remix

[trail quail]

I know I specify

[surreal ruin]

Remix and reshade just aren't quite the same thing

Common mistake people are making

ReSHADE, as the name implies operates as a shader tool, it allows you mess around with and implement new shading methods

ReMIX, has basically 0 shading functionality as for now

[stone timber]

and remix tells u to do the work in the hard way by coding, stuff

[surreal ruin]

Having to code things ourselves isn't even really much of an issue

It's just that we simply don't have access

It's not an open source project

[stone timber]

i mean, you got what i am sayin,

[surreal ruin]

Aaye!

[stone timber]

you guys do stuff in remix, and that guy does make reshade presets, and i just play whatever that is suitable for me lmfao-

[cloud crypt]

@jade briar when i am home it will be 1.30am for you. Any wishes for lights?

[jade briar]

They look pretty good. Just keep adding more because some areas have no lights at all.

[jade briar]

Also I sleep very late anyways

[cloud crypt]

I will do that xD

Oh, and pls stop using auto exposure...

[jade briar]

Can't stop me

[balmy chasm]

Cranking up Exposure in Tonemapping also an issue

[cloud crypt]

I have it at 10, no issues

[balmy chasm]

Adam have ae enabled, no issues as well

[cloud crypt]

It is for me

I posted a video about that

Ae = extreme ghosting

Even in burritos video ghosting is clearly visible

Without ae in my video there is no ghosting at all

[balmy chasm]

I didn't mean ghosting at any point

[cloud crypt]

What then

[balmy chasm]

The fact you place dimmer lights as a result of using +10 exposure. Is it wrong?

[cloud crypt]

Wirhout 10 exposure the game would go blackscreen

That has nothing to do with the lights

[balmy chasm]

I suppose idealy you go with +1 exposure

[cloud crypt]

No, +1 without lights only skybrightness and game = black

[balmy chasm]

Actually the most ideal scenario is to look at what default remix settings are

[balmy chasm]

Can you test it?

[cloud crypt]

Not now, i am at work

Default is +5

I just doubled it

[safe patrol]

@cloud crypt You've got all the race icons (these things) set as UI which breaks rendering because they should be set as World Space UI

[cloud crypt]

Oh, my fault

[jade briar]

I don't set them as anything. They look fine as is since they're glowing anyways.

[safe patrol]

yeah they can be left alone

[cloud crypt]

Still ae is a bad feature which increases ghosting

[balmy chasm]

Default Post-Processing tab

[cloud crypt]

Ah ok, still ae is shit

I already talked with mark about it

[safe patrol]

hmm. Now the game is crashing when I enter a race. Weird.

[balmy chasm]

Defaults and +10 exposure. That's literally what any modder here would get after merging any of your lights into his project. To be fair, difference between 5 and 10 is not noticable at this point

[safe patrol]

check out these textures - these were dumped as-is from the game

[jade briar]

E

[balmy chasm]

Omg, I hate these UVs

[safe patrol]

update to tail light emissives

[safe patrol]

and emissives for a buttload of neon signs

[spark moon]

how to work with emmesive ? there was another emmesive on this one i removed it

looks wrong

[balmy chasm]

What emissive intensity you got in configs?

[spark moon]

didnot even got there yet

[safe patrol]

what did you do?

[balmy chasm]

Either way I'd recommend to place lights instead of using emissives, if you have already started this workflow

[spark moon]

then i have to place evry light manualy on emmiseve3

[jade briar]

Emmissive meshes produce a lot more noise than real lights. Always try to use real lights.

[balmy chasm]

Adam placed 58 lights in career garage. Ceiling there is populated with a ton of them

[safe patrol]

things like this should use emissives. Almost everything else should use real lights.

[cloud crypt]

I placed 3 to 4 rect lights

[spark moon]

why here there are two textures

[safe patrol]

huh. Yeah races are crashing. Can anyone else test with the latest dxvk?

[safe patrol]

that's why I was asking you what you did. Because that shouldn't happen.

[spark moon]

i did nothing this already in game too have seen before

[safe patrol]

Huh. You're in NFSU1 right? I have no idea.

[spark moon]

yea i think this is a mistake from ea

[safe patrol]

could be.

[thorny pawn]

i just had an interesting thought looking at those (sexy as fuck) road textures.... maybe the guys at nvidia could add a feature to randomly choose texture replacements from a set of textures, so that would break up any repetition, or even just iterate through a set of textures for a given hash everytime it is drawn/spawned, i think that would be absolutely massive in many games that have lots of texture repetition

[safe patrol]

submit a feature request
https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/rtx-remix

[thorny pawn]

thats what i plan to do just wanted to hear a couple opinions on it 😄

[balmy chasm]

Random rotation with noise-based edge blending is also a need

[thorny pawn]

now THAT would have an performance inpact 😄 but just randomly picking textures should be essentially free

[jade briar]

yea

[cloud crypt]

Yea

[safe patrol]

hmm. something in my mod.usda is causing crashes when I join a race. Investigating...

[cloud crypt]

@jade briar do you still use my floors?

[jade briar]

The garage?

[cloud crypt]

Yes, and main menu

[jade briar]

yes

[thorny pawn]

https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/rtx-remix/issues/202

done c:

this could also be useful for just having multiple variations of meshes at a later point

no reason for it to be constrained to textures only

[balmy chasm]

Do you think it will be resource efficient?

[thorny pawn]

there should be basically no difference

it will definetly use more vram tho, so probably not something you wanna do on every single texture

[balmy chasm]

If I understood you correctly, that's about loading multiple materials for single mesh, which is just multiplication of textures

[thorny pawn]

basically yes, each being seamless with each other

for something like road textures: absolutely huge

[balmy chasm]

It will definitely bring up the idea to add other popular methods to make textures seamless after all, so no complains

[thorny pawn]

what do you mean?

[balmy chasm]

Like existing ones

[safe patrol]

Accidentally missed a bunch, here's the fixed batch.

[balmy rune]

it looks like nfs2015 with TAA off, lol
i like it

[safe patrol]

huh. ok so it's not my textures, game is crashing to desktop anytime I join a race with any mod.usda, whether Adam's, Hellravens, or mine.

[balmy chasm]

Have you checked logs?

[safe patrol]

Now i hate my 4070Ti... They should have give the 4080 about 70tflops and the 4070ti about 60...

@jade briar your Video is broken

[jade briar]

I found out

[cloud crypt]

And its WIP5 by the way, WIP4 was uploaded by me😅😅

[jade briar]

I thought about it. I think keeping up the same number on two different channels is a bad idea.

[cloud crypt]

Which codecs do you use? I record in HEVC, then encode to Apple Pro Res 422HQ with 24bit Audio for editing and then encode to av1 nvenc 120mbit/s

[jade briar]

idk I just used these

[cloud crypt]

Oh, you dont use media encoder and premiere pro with voukoder

[jade briar]

I guess I can fix a few things and re record. Now that I've got the chance.

[jade briar]

I'm using blender

[cloud crypt]

Blender for video editing? And encoding?

[jade briar]

yes

[cloud crypt]

You try to sell me as dumb

How big is the og video file?

[jade briar]

2 gb

[hardy maple]

Hi, is this project runnable with amd cards like 6700xt?

[jade briar]

If it supports raytracing, then yes

[cloud crypt]

I could shrink it to 400mb without quality loss

[jade briar]

No need. I got it.

[cloud crypt]

Ok

[hardy maple]

yes it does support hw rt, just wanted to know if it runs so i could give it a try

[cloud crypt]

You have to test it. As long it can run RT in vulkan there shouldnt be any problems

[jade briar]

@cloud crypt How quick can you cover this area?

[cloud crypt]

Well, i am at work now, but when i am at home, probably half an hour

[hardy maple]

then i'll test it after the next release(added lights?) hopefully thanks to u guys and update on it

[jade briar]

Thx, because some areas have literally no lights

[cloud crypt]

Yeah i know, i will cover it when i am home

[jade briar]

Thx. There's also some other weird things going on with my textures, so I'll fix those.

[severe solstice]

[jade briar]

It's a good thing that the video broke. There's a bunch of things that can be fixed.

[cloud crypt]

Yeah xD

Oh, when you want to fix your world map you have to enable horizon fog

[timid prairie]

thanks, i had something to do while im lazy, so i just....did something, not for public use of course

[cloud crypt]

this is realy badly upscaled

[tiny nimbus]

yeah

[open atlas]

The lines aren't even straight

[tiny nimbus]

is this even worth upscaling its so simple i bet someone could easily remake it in Photoshop or something

[open atlas]

No

Especially when people have already done exactly that

[cloud crypt]

there is a HD UI mod already

i could try to reach out to the modder and ask if we could use his textures

oh @jade briar i am home now and will work on the lights again

[tiny nimbus]

i mean if it's free to download

giving credits should be enough imo

[cloud crypt]

nah, i made some mods a long time ago based on other mods. I gave credits to the original author and he still copyrighted me

[tiny nimbus]

top unos momentos bruh

[cloud crypt]

my ov wont start anymore... again...

have to reinstall create again...

[cloud crypt]

i have that problem everytime a new gpu driver gets released

[hearty delta]

i heard you're planning on remixing the notorious race game need for speed general in 2 months only how are you doing it

[cloud crypt]

thats not true lol, this project will take way more time

[hearty delta]

2 months and 3 weeks?

[cloud crypt]

not again...

[jade briar]

Imagine updating your drivers

[tawny elk]

Prob a year

[severe solstice]

2 months and 40 weeks

[tawny elk]

Many many moons

[cloud crypt]

i cant fucking install ov create anymore..., always failing

[ember cobalt]

🌕 🌕 🌕 🌕 🌕 🌕 🌕 🌕 🌕 🌕 🌕 🌕

[ember cobalt]

what's wrong?

[cloud crypt]

i always get the error comand failed or blocked

[tawny elk]

Oh that error. Straight up go delete the file was my solution.

You can use power toys to figure out whatever decided to lock it, but

[cloud crypt]

always this one

[jade briar]

omniverse try to work challenge (hard)

[cloud crypt]

i now try to install an outdated build and update then

doesnt work...

even after restarting my pc... fix your god damn software nvidia

Command failed: "D:\Omniverse\pkg\create-2022.3.3\omni.create.warmup.bat" --/app/environment/name='launcher_warmup'
UsdE57FileFormat

[jade briar]

lol

I feel your pain

[hearty delta]

i wasn't serious lol sorry

[cloud crypt]

finally it is installed... back to work...

[jade briar]

Can you get me this texture but without the markings?

[cloud crypt]

you mean the generic one?

[jade briar]

yes

[jade briar]

That's

Mine

I'm talking about your texture

But without the road lines

[cloud crypt]

oh

ok, let me cook

[cloud crypt]

should it be as detailed as possible or more flat

[jade briar]

Can be like this

[cloud crypt]

ok

or more like this

[jade briar]

Yeah that looks about right

[cloud crypt]

like this

[timid prairie]

Logos for @spark moon 's project (can be not used, i won't be offended)

[cloud crypt]

These are actually pretty neat

[tight mirage]

is there any recommended tutorial for this? i cant seem to get it to work, and im not sure exactly where, so starting fresh may help

[cloud crypt]

This one

[jade briar]

What if I say mine's better?

[misty palm]

hey, just wanted to say i admire what you're doing, i tried messing around with rtx remix and uncle burrito's preset yesterday and the game looks incredible, took me right back 🙂 anyways i do graphic design and today i tried to come up with a couple of logos for the project, i'll send you a preview and i'll provide you with full res png's if you decide that you like them - even if you don't, you're doing an incredible job, keep going!

[cloud crypt]

6500K, 5500K, 4500K
i prefer 6500K for these since they are white in the OG game, but tell me @jade briar

[jade briar]

yeah, make it 6500

[cloud crypt]

maybe ill go with 6000K

so they are not way too white

[jade briar]

Yeah that's cool

[tight mirage]

Oh, missed the message above the black screen lol, mb

huh

i found that exact video

on YT

perhaps im just dumb lol

[cloud crypt]

sp yeah, the lights are placed very often in the city center

[tight mirage]

i got it to work

WOW

yall are amazing at this

[jade briar]

yes

[tight mirage]

my 3060ti is crying rn lmao

[cloud crypt]

you can enable dlss
alt + x for the menu

These are at 4500K

[jade briar]

looks good

[cloud crypt]

made them a bit brighter

[safe patrol]

I'm using a 3060 ti and it does just fine with dlss

[safe patrol]

Really nice work on the city lights but you're still using the tail light emissive with the reverse lit up even after I fixed it for you 😭

[cloud crypt]

sry, hadnt time to change it yet. I try to push out my lighting update for burrito as ast as possible...

[safe patrol]

All you have to do is copy it over your original one and make sure it's named the same

That said, we really appreciate the work you're doing on the lights

Has anyone else experienced the game crashing entering a race event or still just me?

[tight mirage]

nvm i just had wonky settings

though i have no idea how to make my game look like HellRaven's

also does anyone know how to fix/lessen popins for lights? not sure if this was already done, im still very new to modding things lol

[cloud crypt]

these small ones are in 2500K, they are pretty warm to give a good contrast to the bright white lights and let it look more alive

[jade briar]

They could be a little brighter

[cloud crypt]

ok

a little bit brighter

[jade briar]

better

[tight mirage]

Raven, how did you get your game to look so good lol

[cloud crypt]

Through manually adding lights in NVidia Omniverse

[tight mirage]

ohhhh

ok

also, i used the settings and mods in the pin, and for some reason i cant see race starts / garage entries

[jade briar]

which one?

[tight mirage]

This one im pretty sure

also im not sure entierly how to add/update the asset replacements, sorry for asking so many questions lol

[cloud crypt]

is this too much?

i think this is good

[tight mirage]

ignore all the questions / problems ive had

i just cant read

[jade briar]

Could be a little brighter, but this is also fine

[wanton apex]

That first logo is fire 🔥

[cloud crypt]

@jade briar should i keep that tunnel area that dark or should i add lights somewhere?
because for now i atleast lighten up nearly all roads in the city core (only 1 mud road has no lights near the paint shop)
billboard lights i would do after i slept

[twin sandal]

hiiii

how can i play NFSU2 remix?

[jade briar]

Is there no place for lights?

[cloud crypt]

well, there are no light poles or anything

[jade briar]

I think it is time to add a fake light

[cloud crypt]

hm, let me see

[tawny elk]

Put it lower so I gets some light onto the structure 👀

I thought I had it looking nicely in my mod doing that

[tight mirage]

are drift events tied to frames? or do i just have a major skill issue

[cloud crypt]

i think theyre good like that

[tawny elk]

#1103377328530276403 message

[cloud crypt]

in yours are no lightsource visible

[tawny elk]

Is that bad?

[cloud crypt]

well yeah, if you want to add realism, then yes

[tawny elk]

|| Typically you’d want to tuck the lights up there in real life to minimize the height of the tracks. If you put a light right above the road it interferes with the clearance requirements for buses and trucks. ||

[cloud crypt]

i dont think that trucks have a problem here

[mossy pelican]

in which city NFSU2 is based on? (assuming it is based on something)

maybe getting a real reference would help configuring the lights / textures

[spark moon]

looks bit off.... light source not coming froml bulb and why light is not on wall too

[spark moon]

needs improvement

[timid prairie]

What improvement

[noble tendon]

California/Los Angeles I’d say

Ventura Bay from NFS 2015 is also based on Cali/LA so using that for reference would be cool too

[spark moon]

not sure... looks too flat...just keep the orignal font....needs to eye catching

not thinking about the logo now...

[timid prairie]

Pal, it IS original font, i even checked, its same one that was in Rivals words

Because i took logo from UG Rivals

[spark moon]

ok try what u can do more to look better

[timid prairie]

geez, not that shiny!

[balmy chasm]

Somewhat similar spacing to original text and adjusted M and I letters

[timid prairie]

That will work...i guess

[trail quail]

@jade briar did you get your textures back?

[timid prairie]

You know....i take my words back, it won't work, background is not transparent and resolution is much lower than mine

But idea is good

[trail quail]

Hi guys you can take this for an example for road texture

it looks nice

@cloud crypt

[balmy chasm]

What an interesting .dds. 1024 textures go for 1300KB and 2048 textures for 5400KB file size 🤔

[trail quail]

What res is this dds?

Its from nfs rivals

looks really nice imo

[timid prairie]

But is it true to original (UG2)?

[trail quail]

Nope

hi

[misty palm]

why not? it goes hand in hand with the original aesthetic of U2

[balmy chasm]

Personally I like second one a lot

[timid prairie]

Its TOO shiny, even for aesthetic, original logo was shiny enough already, and you basically make it even more shiny (i prefer "Remix" from first variation)

[misty palm]

well the new lighting is a big part of the remix, i wanted to reflect that in the logo, it doesn't necessarily have to be flat considering U2's design style, I could of course make it a lil bit less shiny so it's more legible but I think it fits the vibe (the left one is more based on NFS, which i prefer, the right one is using the GeForce font)

[timid prairie]

I noticed that you used GeForce font, and its kinda the reason why i don't like right one, i used non-game cover font for "Remix" word only once, it was with Driv3r, but with rest i always tried to use same font so it would look more consistent, and also i just don't like that 'table' at right for Remix, its just looks weird for me

[misty palm]

yeah sure, the right one doesn't work that well, I agree

[timid prairie]

and this is why it isn't for public use

[balmy chasm]

Have you replaced any texture?

[spark moon]

no

[balmy chasm]

Default road reflection is kinda realistic 👀

[spark moon]

just using the config what felt right

[plain stag]

Lookslike flat concrete not asfalt

[cloud crypt]

Nope, burrito is the man for textures and he does a really great job with that.
I do the lights

[plain stag]

This looks Nice but maybe change font

[misty palm]

for which one?

[plain stag]

First

[soft isle]

The 2nd one is better 1st had to much spacing great stuff this was the original I liked most out of the 3 you had shown off.

[balmy chasm]

I haven't posted anything 😅

[soft isle]

This i was meaning someone posted 3 different varients 1 with a glow and anyway this was my favourite out the 3 but think this one has been altered.

[balmy chasm]

Oh yeah, I just didn't want to explain which changes felt necessary 👍

[cloud crypt]

XD

[soft isle]

Yeah spacing was pretty bad in the OG posts but nice to see it's fixed and looks great. also the white has like a woodish feel to it in my eyes.

[cloud crypt]

Thats Aluminium, not wood

[balmy chasm]

Well, brushed alumminum looks kinda like brushed wood .-.

[soft isle]

I think it was the colour that made me think it was wood lol my bad.

[timid prairie]

I will fix spacing, i don't want to see EAWorld's fixed edition to be used mostly because of resolution and the way he fixed it letters, its rough cut

[misty palm]

alright, I'll try to make a few different versions

[sage wraith]

Hi, is it possible to replace the traffic Cars with Some high poly Models? Or is Remix limited?

[balmy chasm]

Not yet

[sage wraith]

Ah oke but it is on the Todo list?

[balmy chasm]

We believe so. It must be a feature in future releases

[sage wraith]

Ok Nice, then i will start with other things

And why Are the npc racer cars Not reflectiv? Only the windows, is it needed to edit every car/Color?

[cloud crypt]

Every car has its own color hashes, and the paint material are shaded in the og game. We cant use shaders. And for now changing the car material will make it random which color you get because the colors are getting stacked in remix. We have to wait for meshreplacements...

[sage wraith]

Aah Okey i understand

[cloud crypt]

Well, i now have to loot the shop near my house. After that i will work on the lights again

[timid prairie]

Also i like how you mentioned me as "someone", even though my nick is on screenshot you dropped

[trail quail]

Chill bro it's not that deep

[valid geyser]

I'll make my own take on the logo tonight bruh

[cloud crypt]

@jade briar some more lights for you

[timid prairie]

im not angry, its just funny

[cloud crypt]

have you tested the new lights burrito?

[elfin beacon]

NITRO PLEASE

[cloud crypt]

[trail quail]

showcase when

[cloud crypt]

just wait

[trail quail]

This looks pretty interesting

are you two the only people working on it?

[cloud crypt]

nah, @tawny elk and @safe patrol are also working on it. But as far as now i am doing the light stuff and burrito the texture stuff. Buggula is doing emissive for traffic cars.

Adam also did some lighting but they were a bit off the scale

I still have to add plenty of lights... even in the city center not all are placed yet. Many billboards need lights and some other stuff too. When the city core is done i will head to the upper part between the heights and the core

[jade briar]

Not yet

[cloud crypt]

allright

[tawny elk]

I have two areas that I hadn’t gone through and added lighting. If you give me the parameters for what EV/Exposure I should be adjusting them under, I can put out another mod usda that has them set with that.

[cloud crypt]

i never gone above 11 intensity and 4 exposure for lights. and my remix exposure settings are flat 10.0 without ae

[tawny elk]

That’d be a max of 11^4 intensity right?

[cloud crypt]

yes, its the maximum i used

[tawny elk]

Did you lock the exposure in OV?

[cloud crypt]

if you mean that i maybe used that on all lights, then no. 11 intensity only on highway lights with 1 exposure. 11 intensity with 4 exposure only was used for the one beamlight at the city entry and for airport beamlights

[tawny elk]

No I meant that in the preview window, you can lock the exposure to a set value. As in turn off AE and have set to a value.

[cloud crypt]

wait, i look for you

ae is off and there are my exposure settings

[timid prairie]

another re-edit of mine, this time with fixed spacing and adjusted letters, I can't even count how many times I'm re-editing this

[cloud crypt]

or i still dont understand what you mean xD

[tawny elk]

I see how you ended up with the light values you use now

|| I still have no idea how AE causes all this ghosting you guys have. ||

[cloud crypt]

because of light intensity changes. it still calculating for deleted pixels
thats what i think

because the car moves. it chages postion all the time and the change of brightness that causes wil create the ghosting

[tawny elk]

It’s annoying that I don’t get it at all, but y’all do

[tawny elk]

That’d be fixed with the adaption speed though? If you crank that up, it’d shorten the adjustment time to basically a frame.

[misty palm]

the "EMIX" is skewed at a different angle than the R and the rest of the text

[cloud crypt]

i tried it, but it couldnt fix it really, it was still noticible

[tawny elk]

Wonder if using your rtx conf ends up causing ghosting for me

[cloud crypt]

you can test it

can someone tell me what these are?

[tawny elk]

Fancy light posts

The sides are illuminated.

Main light source is to be shot up onto the bottom of that curve.

But since we can’t count on bounces, I put it at the top of the diffused part.

You can see how I did in my mod usda if you’d like.

[cloud crypt]

if i understand that correctly the middle part isnt illuminated?

the pole i mean

[tawny elk]

No it is. It’d be an emissive.

[cloud crypt]

ah ok, so one emissive and one light for these?

[tawny elk]

That’s how it actually would work

I moved the source up to the top of the diffuse bit because we can’t guarantee bounces lighting.

[tawny elk]

Yes

I want to say that texture is reused for a window somewhere too

[cloud crypt]

oh, that makes sence. so i would need a sphere light with a cone angle of what, maybe 45 degrees and a 180 degree rotation to light upwards

[safe patrol]

what's the hash of the texture? I can make an emissive map for it

[cloud crypt]

no need, i figure something out that doesnt need an emissive

[tawny elk]

Are you putting it at the base?

Those will be wildly expensive to calculate if you do it properly for all of them just a heads up.

[cloud crypt]

that will be easy, you will see the results soon

[tawny elk]

I’m almost certain that material is used elsewhere, so I wouldn’t suggest making it a transparent one 👀

[cloud crypt]

thats not planned, you will see

so basically it emits light like that

[tawny elk]

Yea it’s meant to diffuse across the whole arc.

But we can’t count on bounced lighting, so we can’t do it from the base.

[cloud crypt]

dont know what you have...

there is only one problem: culling

[tawny elk]

It’s wasting a ton of bounces in the actual tube.

[cloud crypt]

yeah true... let me see

[tawny elk]

You can move it up to the top and bounce it off the arc

[safe patrol]

ok I need an idiot check real quick - for a roughness map, 0 is black and 1 is white, right?

[tawny elk]

It looks accurate, it’s just that unless you’re looking to run with forcing at least 1 bounce, it won’t look right.

[cloud crypt]

well, i not dit it that way. i set up a cone angle and rotated it 180 degrees to face upwards

that way we dont waste bounces

like this

[tawny elk]

You’d wanna use a cone angle of something like 270 so you can get light on the surrounding area.

[tawny elk]

These kind of light fixtures rely heavily on the fact that actual light has infinite amount of rays and bounces.

[cloud crypt]

wont get better than this. i think it is quite good

[safe patrol]

still needs an emissive in that case though

[tawny elk]

Here’s what they look like in use.

[cloud crypt]

it doesnt, just wait

[cloud crypt]

yeah i know

like this? i cranked up the intensity to 12 with 1 exposure

[tawny elk]

Those things would illuminate a big space. They’re quite tall.

[cloud crypt]

but then there is that culling problem again

[tawny elk]

I think that’s an alright distribution

[timid prairie]

https://tenor.com/view/disappointed-sigh-whatever-not-surprised-gif-22918448

[timid prairie]

i've did everthing pretty much i could, i even recreated EAWorld's words positions, but im definitely exhausted now

[timid prairie]

If I keep trying to fix and fix everything with my current feelings, I will drive myself to the grave

[cloud crypt]

this as emissive replace should do

[safe patrol]

I like that one. Can you share just the logo with transparant background?

[misty palm]

sure no prob, would you mind if i shared in like 3 hours though? it's got some rough edges i want to fix and right now i've gotta do some other stuff

[cloud crypt]

these are placed quite often... and as much as they are placed they get culled...

[timid prairie]

Also, wasn't official Rivals logo doing the same?

[jade briar]

I like this

[timid prairie]

use it

[jade briar]

It's nice and simplistic

[misty palm]

nah, you can see that the angle is the same (or atleast very similar)

[jade kayak]

I like this a lot

[misty palm]

thanks!

[cloud crypt]

i dont, something awfull is going on with it, but its just me

[misty palm]

yeah that's the rough edges i was talking about, imma fix that

shouldn't take long, i just wanted to send a preview cause now i gotta do other stuff, imma come back to it in a bit

[timid prairie]

still not same angle?

[cloud crypt]

nope

[balmy chasm]

Nope

[timid prairie]

why im not surprised

[cloud crypt]

now it is too straight

[timid prairie]

okay, screw it

i can't freaking done it

ENOUGH

[timid prairie]

send this how much you want, but you should perfectly understand it won't do anything at least by me, i CAN'T change their angles

[balmy chasm]

Do you use Photoshop?

[timid prairie]

PaintNet

thats what i was always using all the time

[balmy chasm]

Oh, may be you can't yeah

[misty palm]

i believe there are some plugins for skewing in paint.net but you should probably be using a vector program for a logo like this

[safe patrol]

I did that in 30 sec with paint.net

totally possible

[timid prairie]

great done, now it looks like shit by the way you done it, no offense

[safe patrol]

yeah I only spent 30 seconds on it to show you it's possible

[timid prairie]

i already doing a last race thing

[cloud crypt]

and some more lights

shall i add lights to these to?

[safe patrol]

yeah. I've got an emissive on those textures for now but if you put lights there I can get rid of them.

[jade briar]

yes

[safe patrol]

of course then those diffuse textures REALLY need to get replaced without the lights baked in

I might actually be able to do that. I'll look into it

[balmy chasm]

But it will be hardly visible because lights are placed right over them

[halcyon ether]

damn looking good. this is nfsu1 right? or is this also in the second one... don't think so

[surreal ruin]

Yeah if they at some point turn OFF then editing the abledo would be good, but if they're always on then there's no need to bother

[safe patrol]

yeah but I'll know it's there and it'll bug me 😄

[severe solstice]

https://tenor.com/view/hugs-sending-virtual-hugs-loading-gif-8158818

[small acorn]

yes, it's first underground

[timid prairie]

so i decided to check aaand.....yes, you literally just stretched a letters, great, the last thing i wanted to do is the thing you've done......okay

[cloud crypt]

these behave strange

[tawny elk]

It’s cause the texture doesn’t really show how the light would be distributed in reality.

[cloud crypt]

only 3 of them light up when normal view, but when passing 2 the one that not was lighten up gets lighten up

[tawny elk]

It’s a wide soft distribution, but tilted towards the ground.

[safe patrol]

you can stretch them back other ways to get the sizing right, I was just showing you how you can get the angling correct. Calm down, we're just trying to help.

[timid prairie]

seriously, im really interested why you always interpreting my words as angry and so on, even though in fact i just tired

[timid prairie]

if there is a way to stretch them back and keep same angle, could YOU please to say me how and possibly to show?

if not here, then in DM

[cloud crypt]

any ideas?

[safe patrol]

yeah give me a few minutes

[cloud crypt]

ok, fixed it, i had to add the light to the poles themself
edit: still does not work

[safe patrol]

I think my PC needs a reboot.

[cloud crypt]

just moved 1 inch

[small acorn]

hate that thing

[plain stag]

Thats not have light i think Its just Reflect or LED Emission idk if in game cast light

[cloud crypt]

well no

[plain stag]

👀 hm

[tawny elk]

They’re likely asym output

So it’s tilted out towards the ground.

[cloud crypt]

i know, i tried that, but there is always one which has no light and that sucks

[tawny elk]

Oh my bad

See if one looks different in the original game.

[cloud crypt]

that is in the actual game

[tawny elk]

Welp

[cloud crypt]

even with max settings they dont cast light

so well, that means i wont add light to them

rather have no lights then shitty looking ones

[balmy chasm]

What if you reference them to other mesh?

[cloud crypt]

i already tried them. first i used the white spots. after that i tried the poles themselfs

[balmy chasm]

Sphere lights?

[cloud crypt]

yeah

[balmy chasm]

And you have placed them inside a pole?

[cloud crypt]

like this

[small acorn]

try treating them as a point ones

[cloud crypt]

still no

[balmy chasm]

Bruh, just make it emissive. And not strong enough to actually emit light

[cloud crypt]

but looks good when emitting light

[balmy chasm]

It can be that type of pole light which is there to make sure you don't ride over it

[cloud crypt]

well, already have it

[safe patrol]

you just made the whole texture emessive?

[cloud crypt]

is yours an emissive map?

[safe patrol]

yeah

[cloud crypt]

ill try it

[safe patrol]

*map. They're not masks

[tawny elk]

They’re called bollards

[safe patrol]

TIL

[cloud crypt]

no, just no, no no no

[safe patrol]

you have to replace the diffuse too. Remix won't automatically pass through the original diffuse without one

that's user error there

Here I just finished a diffuse of that very texture without the light baked in. Try it.

[safe patrol]

Anytime you want to add a roughness, metalness, normal, or emissive map to remix you have to also provide a diffuse map or you'll get black like that.

[cloud crypt]

i sued the og albedo map

[safe patrol]

that poor map. It didn't deserve to be sued.

[cloud crypt]

xD

i will create a metallic map for that too

[safe patrol]

good idea

[cloud crypt]

no need for that, but thx anyways

thats a good working metallic map

[safe patrol]

share please?

[cloud crypt]

wait, i have to convert it

[balmy chasm]

Is it this texture?

[cloud crypt]

yes

[balmy chasm]

Have you stretched it so it is not an oval shaped?

[cloud crypt]

the game does it itself

@safe patrol

[safe patrol]

This will be way better when we can replace meshes. That part really should be inverted geometrically and be behind glass

the emissive probably needs to be a bit brighter. Let me adjust it

[cloud crypt]

reflections

[safe patrol]

purdy

[cloud crypt]

should be enough

[balmy chasm]

Hope that's ov viewport

[cloud crypt]

no

[balmy chasm]

It is an oval after all

[cloud crypt]

yes, because the mesh gets shrinked ingame

[balmy chasm]

That means you shrink the texture to get it looking as a circle

[cloud crypt]

no lol, the original texture is a circle, but the mesh itself shrinks the texture

[balmy chasm]

What is the point to do so instead of unwrapping mesh in 1x1 scale and making texture oval shaped instead?

[cloud crypt]

dont tell us, tell the game devs

[balmy chasm]

This 'lazy' UV unwrap is met all over the place. I'm working on Car Lot scene now and you don't want to know how warped the ceiling is. But it doesn't mean I have to follow this weird stretching

[balmy chasm]

just look at that

[safe patrol]

https://youtu.be/iTY8VR5jrcU

Same race as last time with Adam's lighting, but this time with HellRaven's lights.

[wispy drum]

Amazing. How to use the latest road textures and lights?

[cloud crypt]

why the hell is it that dark?

[spark moon]

well this emmesive looks good..

[safe patrol]

I don't know, I didn't touch any of the lighting settings

[balmy chasm]

Talking about that

[tawny elk]

Something has changed in this that makes lighting on the car completely different

With your rtx conf

[safe patrol]

maybe because I'm using different road textures than you?

[tawny elk]

Mine

[cloud crypt]

can you show me your tonemapping settings from remix conf?

[tawny elk]

Some denoiser setting seems to be changed and causing issues

[cloud crypt]

not for me

[safe patrol]

uh...it's super complicated. It involves renaming the textures to match their hash, running them through Kim's usda generator script, loading the lighting usda in Omniverse, loading the script generated usda as a sublayer, and saving the flattened as mod.usda

[tawny elk]

It could be how you're working with so little light. The denoiser doesn't have any points to use

Which is why mine causes ghosting with yours, the denoise points get bright enough to want to be reused

[cloud crypt]

which also caused a big performance hit for me... when i used yours i got 10fps less then with mine

[safe patrol]

from the rtx.conf or from in-game?

[cloud crypt]

ingame

[safe patrol]

where's that setting?

[tawny elk]

Cause there's way less light to deal with in yours, so there's less calculations to be done

[cloud crypt]

which is better

i mean to get it running on more platforms/systems

[tawny elk]

Not neccessarily. All that frame savings comes at the cost of now you're just blowing up the exposure to compensate for less light.

[safe patrol]

the only settings I changed was DLSS -> Auto

[balmy chasm]

He could lower that to .75, but adjust his lights. No differrence

[cloud crypt]

do you still use my rtx conf?

[safe patrol]

yeah

[cloud crypt]

ask burrito if he gives you his one

[tawny elk]

No it's not how the light appears to be in the game that I'm talking about

The actual light in the scene is will be so little, that you lose a lot of detail and information.

[cloud crypt]

burrito uses my lights and has no problems

[balmy chasm]

You're talking about scene scale?

[safe patrol]

I honestly think it looks darker because I'm using the replaced road textures and you've still got the vanilla ones.

[cloud crypt]

could be, but you saw burritos posts in showcase did you?

[jade briar]

@trail quail Check pins in here

You can use this tutorial

#1103377328530276403 message

[safe patrol]

could be because I've been replacing things with emissive maps. He's still got a ton of vanilla textures that remix makes overly bright in a lot of cases.

[balmy chasm]

Because of lack of roughness map I suppose?

[cloud crypt]

yeah, i think that too

but still, for burrito they work perfectly

[tawny elk]

Because he has the exposure cranked so high to compensate for the lack of light, and the denoiser has so few points to work with as a result of the lack of light.

[tawny elk]

No the actual amount of light in the scene. Independent of any setting.

[balmy chasm]

Can it be confirmed by disabling denoiser?

[cloud crypt]

no, gets not cofirmed

[tawny elk]

Adjust your exposure to 1

[balmy chasm]

.75

[cloud crypt]

still noisy as hell

[cloud crypt]

even more noise when it dont get culled

[balmy chasm]

If you mean that Buritto's video about noise, I think he captured 4k or cranked sample count

[severe solstice]

@jade briar can you update it with your new textures lights and config?

[cloud crypt]

yes right, its 1 Exp

[balmy chasm]

That's how it will look for me 👍

[jade briar]

Until at least the city center are is covered with lights

[severe solstice]

oh oks

[cloud crypt]

im on it

[tawny elk]

Try going directly under a light and see if the shadow stays sharp

[cloud crypt]

i was directly under a light lol

[tawny elk]

Okay, then see how the shadow isn't sharp at all compared to mine?

[balmy chasm]

Let me test that as well. I have both turbo and no-turbo lights in city

[cloud crypt]

@jade briar what are your tonemapping settings?

[tawny elk]

Sorry for the garbagy side by side

With the lack of light information, you get those kind of noisy shadows amoung other things

[cloud crypt]

still i get more frames then with yours. i dont see the problem here

[balmy chasm]

I can see no difference in noise. With buffed exposure it is just visible all the time

[balmy chasm]

Also light softness can be different here

[cloud crypt]

if smth works out in one or the other way make no differnce in the result
so why arguing about that

its like math... someone gets the same result with another method, only poeple who cant think outside of a box will tell its wrong

[jade briar]

You need a github account

[balmy chasm]

Now back to serious business. Lower down to default tonemap exposure 🥲

[misty palm]

alright, i've fixed up the spacing and the edges, here's a preview

[cloud crypt]

n o

[misty palm]

and here's the png, lemme know if i missed anything or if you need me to change anything

[tawny elk]

They won't be visible at lower exposure.

[cloud crypt]

why chhange smth that works perfectly

[balmy chasm]

Everything is visible D: I build my garage scenes with default configs

[balmy chasm]

So it works perfectly for everyone

[cloud crypt]

it does lol

[balmy chasm]

With your configs. Great option if someone try to merge some of your lights

[cloud crypt]

you could increase the intensity of all lights by 10

same result

[tawny elk]

Moving forward I'll get mine working with the default configs with AE off.

[balmy chasm]

Why do you think I contacted Adam to remake his lights? Beause I don't have all the map captured to fine tune them if I ever decide to do so

[cloud crypt]

they are still visible on 1

[tawny elk]

Here's mine at .03

[cloud crypt]

wayyyyyyy to bright

[tawny elk]

Not really.

[cloud crypt]

yes they are

[balmy chasm]

Here's defaults

[tawny elk]

Here's at the defaults with AE off.

I just have turn mine down a smidge and they're fine

[simple light]

nuke xd

[cloud crypt]

default

[balmy chasm]

I'll orient on them like on stars in the sky

[cloud crypt]

with 0.75 it nearly looks the same

[balmy chasm]

DLSS is a must

[jade briar]

Use dlss

[cloud crypt]

and nobody ever said that u have to do your lights the way i do mine. I only always mentioned that they are way to bright and can cause ghosting with ae on

[tawny elk]

My lights aren't causing ghosting. I don't know where this comes from but they don't. The config you're using is causing ghosting.

[tawny elk]

But the way I do my lighting isn't causing ghosting

Something with how your rtx.conf is setup is causing ghosting.

[timid prairie]

@safe patrol whistling

[tawny elk]

Sorry, it's bothering me that there's this idea that somehow that I am making the game have ghosting and that my work should be ignored as a result..

[cloud crypt]

god dammit, i never said it should be ignored

[balmy chasm]

It wasn't ignored, by me at least ❤️

[cloud crypt]

i said it can cause because if someones intends to change smth on your rtx conf it could happen...

[tawny elk]

Then that’s my bad. That’s how I interpreted it.

[cloud crypt]

your work is still great though. you added way more lights then me at the current time

[tawny elk]

Which one? If it’s mine the exposure needs set a bit higher for the time being.

No the mod is correct. I didn’t update the exposure.

[cloud crypt]

someones has the same issue that when he changes the menu twice the game shuts down? could it be a dxvk problem?

[tawny elk]

Adjust the exposure to your liking 👍

[balmy chasm]

And lower down sky brighness?

[cloud crypt]

@tawny elk what type of lights did you added to these? and only one or more?

alt + x

[balmy chasm]

Eye Adaptation setting. And adjust sky brightness to your liking

[cloud crypt]

where did you placed the mod.usda

ok, thats correct... strange

[balmy chasm]

Eye adaptation does anything?

[cloud crypt]

i think i know what happening. the mod.usda does not gets accepted by remix

i currently search in his mod for errors, since that are many lights give me some time

test it again

lower exposure more. its in post processing > tonemapping

sky brightness should be 0.200 to 0.300

well, no, its the first build we had with no custom lights at all

just make sky and exposure low until it fits your needs

[tawny elk]

Think that’s someone eless build not mine

[tawny elk]

All of them

[tawny elk]

Yea that’s @jade briar’s build

[cloud crypt]

the first one from him yes

the rar file from here

more lights added

[spark moon]

this happens when u disable denoise

[balmy chasm]

We were testing exactly that

[spark moon]

cam eto any conclusion?

[balmy chasm]

Guess no :D

[tawny elk]

I’m just going to stick with keeping everything adjusted to a mostly standard remix conf going forward is my conclusion

[balmy chasm]

And Hell's conclusion as well

https://tenor.com/view/truck-accident-crash-flip-dashcam-gif-15367673

its dark...in reality imagine how many accidents there wil be

[cloud crypt]

doesnt look dark to me

[misty palm]

i did some more refining to the edges on the "remix" part, here's the final .png

[spark moon]

https://tenor.com/view/tunel-gif-25985070

[cloud crypt]

made them a bit brighter

or more like this

[safe patrol]

I think I like the second one better

[tawny elk]

Here’s the one I drive through everyday if you’d like a reference

[cloud crypt]

damn, this is really bright

[tawny elk]

It’s to avoid your eyes adjusting in the daytime.

Typically the ones towards the end of the tunnel are brighter than the middle.

Underground 2s covered highway is more like Seattles than anything else.

[safe patrol]

famous tunnel near where I live:

[tawny elk]

Seattles used to look like this, which seems like the look they wanted to go for.

[safe patrol]

It's dark enough that automatic headlights will turn on but really it's quite well lit

[cloud crypt]

yeah but the mesh for the lights is really odd

its this angled thing

so placing lights is really weird

[safe patrol]

I think you're doing fine

[timid prairie]

My congrats at good result

[tawny elk]

Ah you’ve come across the multiuse spot light.

It gets used everywhere if you look at my older screenshots.

[cloud crypt]

oh... thats bad then xD

[jade briar]

I'm gonna sleep. Will make a video when I get up. Hell, keep up with the good work

[cloud crypt]

should i add lights to that mesh then instead?

[safe patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/why-not-both-why-not-take-both-gif-11478682

[timid prairie]

another logo check, and yeah, looks good enough

[spark moon]

lokks good

ok my game is crashing after i finish a race and press continue any idea ?

[spark moon]

this exact tunnel in ug1

[tawny elk]

I’m not sure if that mesh gets reused elsewhere.

[spark moon]

help me

[tawny elk]

Oh wait we’re actually supposed to play the game.

[safe patrol]

I don't know. I was having problems with my game crashing in UG2 every time I started a race but after rebooting my PC it went away.

[spark moon]

le me try or its like my mod getting too heavy

still crashed

[tawny elk]

Any errors?

[cloud crypt]

or i add some to these

but i dont know if that actually would make sense

[tawny elk]

I think they’re spaced out too far to use

[cloud crypt]

are they?

[tawny elk]

Maybe not

[cloud crypt]

works pretts well

good thing, even these cornered tunnels getting light

[spark moon]

no error

[cloud crypt]

fixed some things

i think thats good

[spark moon]

personally i would not like to add lights where it not supposed to be...

keep the corner light visible

[cloud crypt]

i made the same here and you saw the video of burrito in #showcase

[misty palm]

thanks!

[cloud crypt]

what would you say @tawny elk

[tawny elk]

Are these looking close enough to being equal brightness?

[tawny elk]

What's up

[cloud crypt]

abaout these

[cloud crypt]

they are close

[tawny elk]

Should I go brighter or darker in OV?

[cloud crypt]

i little bit darker

[tawny elk]

It's very evenly lit like a tunnel. I'd suggest adjusting the focus to give you a hot spot to give more of an impression of speed.

[cloud crypt]

yeah like that

[tawny elk]

10000.0 is the ISO value I guess then

If I disable volumetric lighting it gets even closer

[cloud crypt]

yeah, thats why i said thats good now

[safe patrol]

Didn't someone make some good progress a little bit ago on working headlights by adding lights to the hood geometry or something? Who was working on that and what happened with it?

[cloud crypt]

best i can do

[safe patrol]

I just thought of something...we don't have a way to have non-wet roads in the tunnels ☹️

[spark moon]

add the lights in the corner like before ...quite unnatural when light source is not visible

[spark moon]

like this

[tawny elk]

Nope

[tawny elk]

You can add headlights by refencing a mesh that's unlikely to get culled on the car.

Something like the mirrors and body could be used

[spark moon]

I got the culprit for my crashing... it was ExtraOptions

[cloud crypt]

Hm?

[cloud crypt]

i think i will take a half hour break to get my head free xD

[tawny elk]

What scene scale is everyone using 👀

[cloud crypt]

and back to work...

@tawny elk

[cloud crypt]

what ya think?

[soft isle]

Thats awesome

[cloud crypt]

ah yes, culling... in front of me

[tawny elk]

Better than it turned out for me in that tunnel. It's a challenge

[cloud crypt]

i just used a sphere xD
0.75 intensity and 0 exposure

[tawny elk]

I tried to bounce it off the roof of the tunnel and it just didn't work

[steady flax]

@cloud crypt Bro what about nitro particles, its possible to make them work and create reflection and bloom?

[cloud crypt]

they already have bloom, but i dont know about reflections. I dont have burritos latest rtx conf and textures

[safe patrol]

Ok I need to try this but I still suck at omniverse. What kind of light and intensity settings and such did you use for those headlights?

[cloud crypt]

ok, now do that for every headlight color

[safe patrol]

thank you, trying it now

[tawny elk]

Maybe someday

[cloud crypt]

xd

[tawny elk]

Bridge

[cloud crypt]

hacker 😏

adding lights to billboards is just copy and paste

[safe patrol]

ok turns out I have no idea how to add a light to a mesh. I'll have to figure this out later.

[cloud crypt]

adam posted a tutorial somewhere in here

[tawny elk]

||Lighing in real life is pretty much like that for the most part.||

[cloud crypt]

thats the same my look like

this tunnel, should i leave it dark or should i add lights?

in the og game there are no lights at all

[tawny elk]

I can barely tell what it is it's so dark

[cloud crypt]

its a construction area. there are no lightsources where i could add lights to

too warm? they are 2500K

[safe patrol]

I guess it would make sense that there's no lights there, and once we have working headlights it won't be as much of an issue for people wanting to drive through there

[safe patrol]

I think it works

Didn't someone find a way to make those orange construction lights blink?

[cloud crypt]

that was me

but it only works if they blink in the original game

[cloud crypt]

those have no lights too

@jade briar all important lights added and adjusted (Citycenter only). If something is missing or off the scale pls let me know
the textures in the rar files is for the emissive poles

this

[safe patrol]

With the city center more or less complete, would now be a decent time for me to put together a new mod pack combining the lights with the textures that have been done so far?

[tawny elk]

Didn’t someone say that the demo had a different map?

[safe patrol]

Ok. This is HellRaven's lights, plus Burrito's roads, plus my emissives, plus a smattering of other stuff that's either been contributed here or I've replaced myself from free (public domain) assets or upscaling. Normal disclaimer applies: this is very WIP, is missing a ton of stuff, and isn't guaranteed to look good or run well.

@cloud crypt I love being able to see in the tunnels! Thanks so much!

[spark moon]

damm the intensity

[tawny elk]

Yea but it shows up nicely in game strangely.

[trail quail]

increase light radius a bit maybe

The lighting would be a lot better if the intensity was a bit more

[mossy pelican]

~something is VERY strange here xD

Not sure what is going on here

reinstalling the entire thing, messing with options, moving things around, nothing works

i'il sleep

[spark moon]

how come

[tawny elk]

Never see the top of the building in the game so

[safe patrol]

Has anyone figured out how to mod music playlists or change the songs or anything? I really liked the soundtrack of NFSU but most of the songs in NFSU2 really annoy me.

[timid prairie]

Black Betty is not one of the annoying songs?

i hope your answer is no

[timid prairie]

but either way

[safe patrol]

[timid prairie]

i guess its the thing that is used in a video

[safe patrol]

Black Betty is one of the least annoying songs. I'm mostly just not a fan of the shouting and screaming in so many of the other songs

[timid prairie]

oh well

[tawny elk]

I mute the game for the most part now ngl

[spark moon]

yea check how bridge is going through the building or vice versa

[spark moon]

@cloud crypt @jade briar how did you get neon working?

[elfin beacon]

Are you gonna replace the songs with ug1 or other song?

[sage wraith]

i guess something is wrong in the mod.usda

this is how it looks, when i replace the mod.usda

[balmy chasm]

So widescreen. I believe you see the edge of the world in main menu

[balmy chasm]

Is it just config applied?

[sage wraith]

i dont know what happen there^^

i replaced all files with the new one

[balmy chasm]

Everything glows just as if emissive texture was enabled, but without texture loaded. And you have bumped up emissives, ye

[sage wraith]

so the rtx.config is in the main folder right? or is a second one existing in the ug2 folder

[balmy chasm]

Do you have enchancments enabled?

[sage wraith]

i changed nothing in the configs.

[balmy chasm]

Just check it. It is checkbox where Capture Scene can be found

[trail quail]

Crazy how this actually looks like some low poly unity game lmao

[sage wraith]

I cant find it^^

In which one is it?

[balmy chasm]

It is called the same -_-

Enhancements*

[sage wraith]

Aah LOL

🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Yes thats enabled

If i enable Force hr textures it doesnt Change anything

[balmy chasm]

First thing, restart game .-.

[sage wraith]

Ok i will try t

Sry i come from the minecraft bubble^^ there is all a Bit different 😅

I cant enable Force hr textures

[balmy chasm]

It won't do anything

[sage wraith]

Aah ok And why the restart?

[balmy chasm]

Because issues here are not consistent most of the time

[sage wraith]

Ah ok

So i restarted the game 10times yet^^ all time the same

[balmy chasm]

What have you done with mod.usda?

[sage wraith]

So i Downloaded the files from count buggula And in his GameReadyAssets Are a mod.usda. And if i replace this file, all is looking Like my Screenshots with this red tint

[balmy chasm]

[your game folder]\rtx-remix\mods\gameReadyAssets
This is the path for mod.usda

[sage wraith]

Yes

[balmy chasm]

Screenshot please

[sage wraith]

here now i replaced it with the old one (i think its only dark like thats, because of different rtx.conf)

[balmy chasm]

Screenshot of the gameReadyAssets folder

[sage wraith]

aah ok

[balmy chasm]

And always go to open world first. Some setups might just miss lights in menu and garage

[balmy chasm]

That's out-of-the-box state?

[sage wraith]

thats only replacing the mod.usda with the old one

[balmy chasm]

What .-.
Are you complaining on mod.usda that you modified?

[sage wraith]

not mee

[sage wraith]

here

[balmy chasm]

So what you have here is exactly the content Buggula shared? You just erased these files from your personal install and placed his on its place?

[sage wraith]

so i had installed the version which is pinned under the installations tutorial, and now i have replaced this files with the new one out of the post from buggula

and the red light and glowing car issues is only, when i replace the mod.usda from the install tutorial version with the new one from buggula

so i guess something is wrong with this file

[sage wraith]

this dude has the same issue

[balmy chasm]

Did you combine Texture folder or simply replaced it completely?

[sage wraith]

in the uploaded zip are all files in one so i placed mod.usda in gamereadyassets and tthe textures in captures/textures

because thats the only folder, where the texturenames are fitting

[balmy chasm]

Ok, now you got me really curious with this .../captures/textures thing

[sage wraith]

why

[balmy chasm]

Mod.usda is a plain text file in reality. You can find references to these textures in it. Looks sections is all about texture replacement

[sage wraith]

aah lol ok

so i have to put all these textures simply in the same folder like the mod.usda

[balmy chasm]

Yes, but I believe it won't work because path is constrained. But test it first

[sage wraith]

yes thats true

so is is not possible to change the path starting in the ug2 folder?

[balmy chasm]

Here is my signs. First is to [game folder]\rtx-remix\mods\gameReadyAssets\textures\env\garageCar, second to [game folder]\rtx-remix\captures\textures

[sage wraith]

ah okey i guess i understand

but then i have to change the path for every single texture right?

[balmy chasm]

Right. Which is a simple thing

[sage wraith]

really?

[balmy chasm]

Do you use Notepad++ either?

[sage wraith]

yes

[balmy chasm]

Press Crtl+F and find Replace section

[sage wraith]

aah lol easymode

;D

thanks

asset inputs:diffuse_texture = @ /Need for Speed Underground 2/rtx-remix/mods/gameReadyAssets/1012DB19A8018014_diffuse.dds@

i changed it to this know correct?

[balmy chasm]

No idea about syntax there... Just test what works and what not

[sage wraith]

ok^^

[sage wraith]

ok that doesnt work

but i replaced it with my complete path and now it works 🙂

thx 🙂

[cobalt peak]

Yo, I posted that.

I mean the post you screenshotted.

It's from the TUFU thing.

Anyway, he does look like Andrew Tate.

[idle eagle]

Unfortunately, all the textures are missing.

Remix is working for me though.

Do you have an updated URL?

[balmy chasm]

Read above

[idle eagle]

I see. The guy hard coded the paths to start at the root for his PC. lol. I'll fix it and upload the file.

All good now. 🙂

Should work regardless of where the game is installed.

[dusty grove]
