NFSU2 (Need For Speed Underground 2)

[cloud crypt]

oh, ive forgot that XD

[trail quail]

This is what I'm goig for

[ember river]

Better not. Any transparency hurts performance so bad that remix will regenerate a highpoly-alphacut version of your model at runtime so it can disable opacity and only deal with polygons during raytracing stage. AKA Opacity Micromaps

[trail quail]

Oh damn

[tawny elk]

Could you reup this

[trail quail]

Also working on this

Momo vantage wheel

Adding too much to my plate I think though

Was just testing to see if it wasw clean obviously we aint connecting it yet as there are pieces missing

[desert ridge]

You can try using a radial array, my friend.
And I've noticed some issues with this mesh.

[trail quail]

it is closed up now. We used spin

[desert ridge]

Okay, I'm wondering how many people worked on the mesh when you said 'we'. Do you have a modding team?

[trail quail]

Oh i am part of a system and sometimes say we by habit

Probs should get out of that habit if it is only me fronting rn

I am the only one working on it

[desert ridge]

I think that's okay. If you do some excellent work, you might be able to join a great team.

[trail quail]

Lol we don't think we are good enough for that haha

[dusty grove]

you need to apply rain drops on walls/buildings - seriously is it even possible to do? (I mean dynamic texture like in batman AK, nfs2015, or stalker) that would really improve visuals.

[lusty storm]

That rain texture is... Weird

[dusty grove]

Around a year ago someone readjusted that texture to be much bigger - because it was to blurry with low resolution of DLSS.

I think it's time to make it proper size (smaller, like actual rain drop)

[desert ridge]

You can adjust the size of the rain droplets using the "NFSU2ExtraOptions" script.

[desert ridge]

This video demonstrates the adjusted raindrop size and replaced raindrop texture with translucent materials. The screen raindrop effect is also possible if you install the 'NFSUnderground2.XboxRainDroplets' script.
Please skip the low performance part, as some specific areas have very low performance. We still need to figure out which part is causing the performance drop.

P.S. Please keep in mind that I'm very good at racing games. The crash was caused by me trying to press the stop recording key.😜

[desert ridge]

This video demonstrates the heavy rain effects. The performance has dropped significantly, but I'm not sure if it's an issue with the game engine or the path tracing performance.

[trail quail]

Dope

We wish we specialised in something. We are more like a "jill: of all trades

We can model and do prettt much anything art wise but we don't specialise in anything amazingly well

[timid prairie]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/246921999522201611/1184921619878137916/GIF-231214_211400.gif?ex=6596f5c0&is=658480c0&hm=088f79ac0c61ac1124577f161ac1ad764ecf2a8ec8a1bae216fea15986999428&

yeah, that's the type of screenshot i would do myself

like always

[desert ridge]

I think it's best to focus on learning and practicing something you feel comfortable with and enjoy. For example, I like modeling more than texturing, so in our team I focus more on making 3D models rather than texturing. But I'm still learning texturing as well.
Our team already has some people who do impressive texturing work, like E-Man, Adam Player, and Traggey. E-Man, Adam Player, and EAWorld also make good models. HellRaver focuses on lighting.
We'd be very happy to have skilled artists join our team. And I think you have the potential too. Watching more modeling tutorials can really help you improve your skills a lot.

[trail quail]

I have been modelling/digital sculpting for qute some time but I always try to upate my knowledge

we lost an asset we almost finished yesterday in blender 😦

the momo wheel

[desert ridge]

You can try loading the autosave backup file in Blender.

[trail quail]

There is not one for that model sadly. We might have dosed off and not noticfed it was not saved to begin with and just closed it without thinkinh

The antipsychotic pills we take knock us out sometimes

😦

In other news though we be cooking

version 2.0 really coming into its own imho. Would love to see if version 1.0 is ingame yet

Guess it looks at least unbound level

[desert ridge]

Thomas Colin has a nice tutorial on complex rim modeling. You might be able to get some modeling ideas from it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwYVEwQI5Bg&t=1100s&ab_channel=ThomasColin3D

[trail quail]

Cheers

Actually we might have seen that one 🙂

Looks familiar

[desert ridge]

Yeah, a lot of rim modeling tutorials may look similar, but some of them end up with bad topology (bad shading without subD) or require many cleanup during the modeling process. I think Thomas Colin's modeling workflow is quite fast and clean.

[trail quail]

I like that. I am very pedantic with topology. I usually made sure Every part is as clean as possible before adding more detail etc...

Adding tonnes of subD to hide bad shading is not great modelling practice in our eyes. SubD should be used just to smooth final detail

A model should look good at all levels of detail imho

[plush wyvern]

oh my gadddd. im gana crayyyy

[jade briar]

Refrain

[trail quail]

WIP

Debating whether I make a v2.0 asset for this piece or just optimise this piece I ported from v1.0

This piece has shading issues

remaking it will look better but be more time consuming. I could just fix v1.0 and get rid of some poly bloat...Still debating it though

and .. the normals are thr wrong way on that piece....

[jade briar]

@old abyss this what you're looking for?

[timid prairie]

While you remixing, i try Original on PS2 two years after 😂

[vivid thicket]

and how it feels?

[timid prairie]

Feels very cool, U2 is my fav NFS after all

[timid prairie]

Cool shot to me

[balmy whale]

i always wanted to remake this sign, so here it is🤷‍♂️

[lusty storm]

I can help with that kind of work, how do I start?

[balmy chasm]

Want to work on signs replacements?

[trail quail]

We r starting to think if we shoild officially join as a vehichle/kits artist

And we can't spell either

Application denied ;3

[pearl matrix]

Where did the 2nd h come from

[trail quail]

It is a magic H

...yeah that is it ;3

(liar Scarlet has now been cancelled)

[trail quail]

Ignore the material. Brakes for the ride. Gunna make it a normal map as it is too poly heavy for my liking

Just need to make the caliper

also the little drilled bits

Just realised the whel is 4 slot and my brake is 5. All good I just have to remove one

tbf you can't really see the lug nut holes either way

[lusty storm]

Yep, but I'm a newbie, how do I access the exact files? There's a short answer? I'm super familiarized with Photoshop, illustrator and ai upscalers

[oblique geode]

nfsu360's NFS TexEd or MaxHwoy's Binary

I used these myself

[lusty storm]

did you guys seen this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9I0iLxGJl0

[jade briar]

It's all over the news

So yes

[lusty storm]

thats... rough

[jade briar]

No ai generated assets allowed

[trail quail]

Trust me don't upscale those. Never mind they are so low res they won't resolve the details

[lusty storm]

So.. what we do? 😪

[trail quail]

I will make new assets and u can texture them if u want

[jade briar]

Learn to draw

[trail quail]

I will make a normal map to add some details too

[lusty storm]

Thats unexpected lol

That remix update maybe help

[trail quail]

I was not ready for that response

But drawing is a good skill nonetheless

[jade briar]

#1103377328530276403 message

[trail quail]

Please dun use ai generated assets tho 🥺. We will make nice assets and if u wanna texture some u can

Ai art is kinda stealing

We will shut up

Dun hurt us

[jade briar]

You think ai art is stealing
I think ai art looks like shit
We're not the same

https://tenor.com/view/gus-fring-jumpscare-gus-fring-jumpscare-scary-oby-gif-13022434999806691946

[trail quail]

No i think it looks shit too most of the time

Just saying that it takes from from other artist work to create

I feel like I should stop. Sorry 😦

[jade briar]

dw

[fresh ginkgo]

that is nonsense, to hear something like that here of all places lol

[fresh ginkgo]

you can upscale that and get a good result, you just need the right workflow

what was that done with

[balmy chasm]

As guys said, you should definitely go for re-drawing things. Great you got your hands on where to get textures from. Also check this #1103377328530276403 message message before starting. I collected a list of billboards I'd like to replace with custom ads, not original. Mostly memes of this community. Apart from these, you can make replacements identical to original if you want

[balmy whale]

i already remake these for my mod:

i had to redrawn these because it is an old logo, cant be found in this form high resolution on the net ( or atleast i couldnt find the exact same which was used in ug2/mw)

its only 512x256 because i needed that for my most wanted mod, but much better than the original

but i have the psd, i could make it higher res

[desert ridge]

Draw the outline in Illustrator

[jade briar]

Even then. No ai in this mod

[desert ridge]

"You're absolutely right." That is complete nonsense. Why do people accept the use of stolen assets so widely in the world? Think about it - would you accept if someone used your bank account without your permission? Or if someone just walked into your house without permission? Or if someone took your work and claimed it as their own? This kind of behavior is completely unacceptable.

Let's the AI modders create their AI mods.
As for us - the "stupid foolish artists" - Focus on creating our mods manually.

[slender arch]

i would like to get ANI (artifical no intelligence) generated art

[fresh ginkgo]

You don't seem to understand how AI works, also it's perfectly legal to scrape the publicly archived web
AI works by the same generalization principle as a person looking at drawings and learning from them

[jade briar]

There's a difference between legal and moral

Sure, it's legal to scrape every artist's work

But is it moral?

As an artist, no

[fresh ginkgo]

Lol did you learn to draw inside a black box or did you look at other people's work

[jade briar]

I looked at tutorials :

[fresh ginkgo]

You will have an even harder time making a moral argument that holds ground

[jade briar]

[fresh ginkgo]

Anyway best to end it there since it's off topic

[jade briar]

Yep.
Final thing:
My problem is not with the legality or morality. My problem with is that
1: The quality is garbage more often than not
2: It simply isn't fun. I like creating assets.

[fresh ginkgo]

1. The quality can be great most of the time with newer workflows. You just keep seeing bad examples
2. That's fine but it's more practical to upscale wherever it works and do manual work and tweaks when needed

Nowhere did I say you should use AI instead of manual work, the exchange was about the immorality of AI or whatever

[slender arch]

just i think ai art should be used as aiding rather than replacement (meaning that we should use ai art to get ideas/inspirations rather than using ai art to make arts)

[desert ridge]

I understand that artists often take references or learn from each other.
However, AI-generated "art" is a completely different story. While some AI art may be beautiful, a lot of it generates nonsensical results - things like extra fingers, incorrect anatomy, and other nonsensical behaviors.
The reason is that AI doesn't actually understand what art is. It's just "copying" and generating "art" from references, unlike human artists who don't make these kinds of mistakes.

[fresh ginkgo]

Also there's "ethical" AI upscale models trained entirely on freely licensed databases if you want to be anal about it

[fresh ginkgo]

The reason is that AI doesn't actually understand what art is. It's just "copying" and generating "art" from references, unlike human artists who don't make these kinds of mistakes.

This is literally factually incorrect. Also most of these anatomy and finger errors were already solved in major AI art generators over a year ago
It does not work by copying, it's literally a generalization/learning algorithm, the AI model cannot physically fit the training database, it's a distillation of patterns

[ember cobalt]

no one is going to convince each other of their mindset in this discussion

if you guys could just stop, that'd be nice. it's not going anywhere

[fresh ginkgo]

sure but some facts should be generally understood, like this server revolves around a tool that integrates AI generation and other forms of AI, yet you've got people who don't understand how it works and make factually incorrect claims to support their opinions...
I won't continue further

[jade briar]

Understand my cock and balls

kim im joking

dont kill me

[ember cobalt]

[jade briar]

[ember cobalt]

thank you. i will say: both sides have valid arguments, that's why this won't go anywhere. i'm pretty much firmly in the middle on this topic. imo manual artwork is better, but AI still has many valid use-cases

i train AI models myself and that's still what i think about it

[desert ridge]

Even SORA, can generate images with mistakes. I'd like to know if there is any AI model that can generate 100% correct images without any errors. Personally, I've used AI-generated "art" just for fun, but I wouldn't use it for any serious projects.

[ember cobalt]

either way, this isn't the right channel to be discussing it. burrito and some others requested that AI discussion be kept out of this channel (iirc)

if you guys wanna continue, #offtopic or even #asset-creation might be better

[jade briar]

You may discuss. But don't expect me to budge

My grandfather just posted this

[desert ridge]

My ancient ancestors created this art.

[jade briar]

same

[trail quail]

We were talking if you use it commercially as doesnt AI art work by combining art from othr artists via seaching from prompts to create a piece?

I was not trying to be a jerk btw sorry if I came accross that way 😦

we guess we have made a fool of ourselves and are not worthy to call ourselves decent

fml

[old abyss]

hello

I'm distancing myself from NFS rtx mods because most of the participants in its rtx modding community seem to think AI is evil or whatever

please do not dm me or mention me about nfs, thank you

[trail quail]

never said it was like evil just that some of the models previously used were questionable. Glad to be educated more on it either way...off that tho

I am just kinda ignorant

understand most of what happened is my fault and I apologise either wya

[jade briar]

Damn

Bro dipped out

lol

[trail quail]

I feel horrible now

should have kept my mouth shut

[ember cobalt]

you need to not hold things like this against yourself. read clearly what he said, it's from a large amount of people he's interacted with that caused it, not what you did

[jade briar]

He was one of the best reverse engineers for this game. His name will go down in the history of this mod

[trail quail]

do you guys want us to modelle the drill parts or just normal map them?

figured we would give a show of progress

[old abyss]

It's not solely you, ever since I joined in to help with the NFS MW05 rtx remix mod, I've seen plenty of people straight up hate/despise the use of AI. The whole RTX Remix API is fundamentally AI calculated path resolution. I myself am an English teacher that encourages the use LLMs where needed. In the NFS U1 section, you can see a pretty damn good usage of AI; restoring lost details in old textures with AI upscalers. I'll probably still hang around in NFS U1

[desert ridge]

Our team members mostly don't like AI-generated "art" (maybe). I also used ChatGPT to help translate my words. At least I'm not the anti-AI person.

[surreal ruin]

Yup, it''s really just as simple as that, most of us on the team really don't like AI, for lots of various reasons

Ya'll can argue all you want but we're not doing AI, the end.

[trail quail]

I guess I won't say I am anti AI just that I like doing my own art, just get worried about it is maybe more the issue

I have toyed around with AI and stuff tbh

but not for this

[cloud crypt]

Could we stop that nonsense ai topic already please

[trail quail]

sorry 😦

I will shut up

[snow coral]

AI upscalers aren't evil or smth like that. They are not just in state we could wish they should be. Right now they are just pathetic and everything upscaled with it looks like some cracked mud or smth like that. Only for 2D art style some of them looks decent but otherwise they fail miserably

[snow coral]

Great example

[bright hedge]

xDD

[hexed seal]

hating on ai is pointless in this case

it’s not like it’s robbing you of a paid job

some weird ass rules in this mod lol

[surreal ruin]

Yeah well, live with it

@vestal driftRemember that thing we spoke about a while back? It's happening again, and they won't stop

[vestal drift]

That's the vision they want for their mod. Why is that so hard to understand?

[hexed seal]

i understand them, I just find them weird

[vestal drift]

If you find it weird then you really don't understand it

They have a vision for how they want their mod to look and how they want to make it. You'd do yours differently. It's as simple as that.

[cloud crypt]

Its not even that we dont like AI completely, for example i just dont like AI generated assets, cause these models are trained with stolen assets.
AI upscaling is smth different. I use it for some images (private use only)

[hexed seal]

lol talk about nonsense

this Joey guy

[surreal ruin]

Can't be an artist around here without getting shit on by these guys

Always such a good time

[jade briar]

You're an artist??

[slender arch]

if ai isnt pointless then why the ai generated textures are shittier than human-made textures

[desert ridge]

I really don't understand why. We didn't say anything bad to those AI modders or people who used assets from other games, but there are always people who want to judge us (manual, handcraft modders). What's wrong with the world? Are manual modders considered shameful nowadays?

[slender arch]

i think im in same opinion

Just people have morals,etc

[vestal drift]

"Why are you guys putting time and effort into doing this by hand when you could have a worse looking result NOW? I want it NOW!!!"

[desert ridge]

Because we are all "foolish, stupid, nonsense old-school" artists, we only know how to do things by hand, and we don't want to learn anything new. We know we'll be replaced over time, but we don't really care.

[vestal drift]

They also just completely ignore the fact that maybe some people actually find it fun to do things themselves. All they see is the fast path to getting the bare minimum done.

And for the record, anyone who does just want an AI upscaled version of this game can just go make their own remix mod. It's not like this is your only option

[desert ridge]

Yes, I forgot to mention that we enjoy wasting time crafting things over and over again. It's very enjoyable for us.

[cloud crypt]

😂🤌

[lusty storm]

There's a plan or even a roadmap for this mod? Or everything is made randomly?

[surreal ruin]

We're just volunteers, no roadmap

We work when we can

[cloud crypt]

Well, atleast i have one for the lighting

Main Menu > Airport > Highway > City Centre > Career Garage > Bayview > Hills > Other Garages > South > Tracks

[hexed seal]

this dumbass Joey thinks we’re hating on the rules, I get you, this doesn’t mean I can’t find it weird or strange to hate on ai just because “it’s fast” and sometimes tweaking these results is better and also faster

[surreal ruin]

Dude just stop talking, just stop

[hexed seal]

it’s like hating on cnc machines cause they generated the paths using their own program

[ember cobalt]

look at the warning we just sent you

you've been timed out for a week

[slender arch]

https://tenor.com/view/turkish-joker-turkish-joker-mlakilr-gif-7133463909539730432

Holy shit

i sometimes dont understand about people,s bullshit acts

[jade briar]

Bro a straight yapper

[fresh ginkgo]

funniest part is how Joey is involved in ChaiNNer and made lots of other AI upscale stuff, ran a server about it for years, and this dude had a meltdown and insulted him

[jade briar]

I want to say a word that's not allowed in this server

[desert ridge]

Use this https://cryptii.com/pipes/caesar-cipher

[snow coral]

the simplest cipher ever. you can just decrypt it with paper and pen in few minutes

[desert ridge]

Yes, But if you randomly change the order of the letters, then it won't be simple to decrypt by hand.

[snow coral]

Or use different language

[blazing shard]

Amazing job guys, the game got it's deserved remaster! just a little performance bump would be nice. I'm gettting fps in the 30s with my 3060 TI. is there any performance benchmarks out there for difference gfx cards?

[bright hedge]

a construction worker is a graphic artist in bricks 😂

[fair prawn]

waiting for remix 0.5 update

I tried manually but it crashing sometimes

[trail quail]

What lighting settingws you got? It looks a little dark here

gotta get the polycount down through some optimisation (not up to that yet)

Just trying to get the pieces all made first

[balmy chasm]

To be fair it is hard to tell what's changed as both original mesh reflects environment somewhat fine and we can't really see wireframe

[trail quail]

Yeah I will try get a wireframe so far blender cacked itself for the 100th time lol

we kinda have an idea what needs to be removed poly wise tho

There is alot that can be removed from the subD after We finish the pieces
atm yeah it is dense

well aware the bumpers topology is shit but I will fix it soon

Still am not as good as the other artists. Am generally a character artist

The front indicators are not done yet

also will be optimising the grille mesh to save polys there too

But yeah my topology still kinda sucks for hard surface

Sorry for the spam. But yeah the brake models are also not optimised either and are still super high poly

[ocean thunder]

Hello guys, is there a link for the latest install instructions ? thx

i followed the instructions on moddb site and i am not getting the game to run after installation

[tawny elk]

Does it not run at all? No errors? Logs?

[ocean thunder]

no, before i installed the rtx remix like instructed the games starts immidiately. but aufter installing the mod like instructed, the loading symbol over the mouse just pop ups for a few secs and then nothing happens

btw i have an rx 7900xtx, dont know if it has something in common w/that

[tawny elk]

There should be logs in the exe folder, check those for errors

[fair prawn]

Medium I think, with ray reconstraction

[ocean thunder]

what should i look for? sorry i am not that tech guy 😄

[tawny elk]

Bridge broke. Check the logs in .trex

[ocean thunder]

this one?

[jade briar]

Ah. I love when programs tell you that a problem occurred in a specific memory address.

So easy to debug

[tawny elk]

That exception is an access error

Could be AV, driver issue… Way too many things to narrow it down.

[ocean thunder]

🙄

so probably I'll just leave it default as it as, as long as i'm a non tech guy 😂

*as it is

[cloud crypt]

I dont think he runs our modDB files

[patent spade]

You guys got a shout out in this DF clip!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRuSUYKEJvY

[jade briar]

That's so cool

Our mod has appeared on a bunch of tech journalism places but one place that I always wanted to see talk about the mod was df

[jade briar]

Now I don't wanna be that guy, but he said Need for speed underground and not Need for speed underground 2

[patent spade]

Is there an NFSU1 remix mod ? haha

[jade briar]

Yeah

[sharp sinew]

Call of duty 2 needs some love man

[jade briar]

There are two of them now

[jade briar]

100%

[sharp sinew]

Jammie need for speed boys getting all the love

[cloud crypt]

Well, When someone says Underground he means 1 + 2, you just cant seperate these games

[patent spade]

Given the traction on the various mods I assumed he was talking about this mod but who knows 😛

[jade briar]

Well I still hold the trophy for the first big community mod

One year ago this thing blew up overnight

[cloud crypt]

Well, 105K views is nothing XD

I had a vid with over 600K views before i got hacked and everything got deleted...

It was about NFS Carbon

[jade briar]

Talking about remix

Also

I almost forgot

One of my issues is fixed apparently

Needs testing

[sharp sinew]

i once saw a video on youtube with a million views 😮 😛

[jade briar]

Holy moly

[sharp sinew]

think in the community modding sphere this need for speed is the poster child

[jade briar]

uhh

Maybe

[sharp sinew]

maybe

[jade briar]

Pretty sure the video kicked it off

That said, nv has never featured this mod more than just a quick mention in a blog post here and there

[ember cobalt]

racing game + good work from you guys = popular project

you wanna know just how big of an impact your guys' project had?

this is how many people joined from it

[jade briar]

Damn. And I don't even use this link in my videos anymore

I use the nicer link now

[ember cobalt]

sadly there's no tracking for individual invites from that, but there are 11.5k joins from it

i'm betting at least 1/4 of that is from you guys

[lusty storm]

Also this project has 52k messages while GTA SA has FIVE K

[tawny lake]

Anybody help with RTX remix for underground 2 ? Followed all instructions and pasted in root directory but it won’t even launch

[balmy whale]

cant you make a pbr texture from this? its one of the most frequetnly used texture in ug2, i remade from source material, the right corner looks weird in high res, but the original texture were like this

of course its not final

the moss is just placeholder, and the colour grading isnt correct either

[flat fractal]

hello guys

i need help

[cloud crypt]

Theres no need to colorgrade these Since we use raytracing

Colorgrading only would be needed for rasterization

[flat fractal]

i have Nvidia Geforce GTX 1070 Ti
can i play NFSU2 Remix?

[cloud crypt]

No

[flat fractal]

only for RTX?

[cloud crypt]

Yes

Its called RTX Remix, so what youve expected

[flat fractal]

yh

i see

hahahaha

my bad

[jade briar]

There do be a difference between real time color correction of the rendered image and an image texture

[cloud crypt]

Yeah, if he meant smth like darken the image to make it fit nighttime, then theres no need for it, but if he meant smth like make it look better in general, then ok

[balmy whale]

no, i meant to find the og texture stone colour

[cloud crypt]

Ah, that makes sense

You will find it in city centre in the near from megalow parts when you drive towards it

When you drive to the arena for example

There are some plants hanging down from it

[balmy whale]

it is everywhere in ug2. I meant i need to find (out) the colour, not the texture ingame 😄

[tawny lake]

I’ll pay for anybody who can help me get this going lol

[modern valley]

The rtx remix ? it’s basically as simple as drag and drop and run the game

[tawny lake]

Yeah but for whatever reason I paste all the files in and then try and launch the game and cursor just has a circle and it never launches

But works without the mods

[timid prairie]

Really great job mate

[dusty grove]

Try different version of the game without mods (keep in mind that you need RTX GPU)

[open atlas]

That sign is probably due a redesign rather than an upscale as it doesn’t read properly in it’s vanilla form

Then again

Without moving the entire sign to make sense I have no idea how that would work

[balmy whale]

yes, i recreated it in ps, its not an upscale

[trail quail]

Hating ourselves so much for the inner part of the car we are editing the BB mesh. "EA Blackbox where efficient modelling is achieved when others make their own from scratch. Helping devs learn modelling by not having to fix their problem"

Still we hate ourselves so we are gunna suffer a bit

EA: blackbox models. "Where solving a problem is as easy as just restarting"

When I say it's bad you know it is as I am not exactly very good

[trail quail]

Ok the ass has been redone. Just need to fix some lighting issues. A shading area that does not want to fix itself is near the reverse lights but that could just be the environment reflection as it looks...okay normally. IT is not the best model but we guess it is still okay enough .

It is not a great model but we guess it is not terrible. NEed to remodel the reverse lights, finish the side mirrors and add the wipersm then do the edges so they are even and then just fix the inner parts of the model. After that it is time for boring UV mapping

and oh also making the brakes lower poly.

THen Hemry can send the modelled caliper when it is done 🙂

[balmy chasm]

Look at those reflections. They're on both sides which is super-unlikely to be some shading issue. Just render it finally and check the correct shading

[trail quail]

The meshflow looks fines so we probably looking too far into it

just some minor tweaks by the looks of it :/

It is on low precision for the reflections too as we need to save memory

[balmy whale]

i could do more

[balmy whale]

what do you mean?

[cloud crypt]

We probably will remodel the signs anyways so they have actual 3D letters with reflections etc
So redoing 2D assets is a waste of time, atleast for this project

[balmy whale]

this kind of signs has a flat surface

[surreal ruin]

These kinds of signs are indeed flat

However the issue of remaking assets in this way is that we don't get any form of PBR values from it

[balmy whale]

cant you just adding afterward? in this case like adding a metal surface to it, with some depths in the more rusty parts.

[desert ridge]

Can you show us the wireframe? Properly adjusting the edge loops can help improve the shading.

[sharp sinew]

i mean if he gives you the text you could use it as a mask?

and the lil working man

[balmy chasm]

version without imperfections will do best

[balmy whale]

do you mean the rust for example?

[balmy chasm]

Right. Those are better off generated with PBR automatically(like in Substance Painter), while having a prestine sign can save time on recreating it from scratch

[timid prairie]

considering that he is doing it from scratch, its more likely that all that rust is a separate layer that he can just remove

[tawny elk]

It’s an absolute pain to do it afterwards compared to using an SVG of the sign and automatically having all the masks and such

[open atlas]

That sign also doesn’t exist in America, the place where Bayview is clearly set

Over here we have a “road work ahead” sign and there would have been a message on a digital traffic sign about what was going on half a mile to a mile ahead of where the work started

[balmy whale]

i recreated the original:

[open atlas]

I’m aware of that

[open atlas]

“That sign is probably due a redesign”

[balmy whale]

so? why does it matter that in real life these signs were not used in the usa? it was placed by the original developers

[cloud crypt]

well, its not for roadwork anyways. There is a Building that gets constructed

[glad ivy]

disable all your processor cores except for the first one. that's the fix i use for this

[lusty storm]

Looks like we're trapped inside The Fly episode in Breaking Bad

[valid geyser]

??

[glad ivy]

nfs u2 crashes a lot on multicore processors because it was written to work on only one

you can do it in the task manager when you start the game up

[valid geyser]

that's a year+ old message you replied to

[glad ivy]

oh

idunno i just joined the server and discord started the thread from the beginning

sorry

[timid prairie]

its a question i asked myself when i read ctrl's comment

[trail quail]

seems like a clean bake. Have not added the other part yet though

maybe I should go to 1024 or 2048 for a simple brake tho. Or are you all using 4k textures on everything?

[cloud crypt]

Thats wrong, since remix changes it up to 64bit you can use multicore cpus without problems

[jade briar]

Nah the widescreen fix which is available with the remix mod has single core affinity enabled by default

No need to disable cores or anything

[glad ivy]

but doesn't that make what Hellraven said useless then?

[balmy chasm]

We use any resolution which is NEEDED. Earlier we said to use as less textures as possible with as small res as possible

[trail quail]

With the brakes we kinda went normals cause the polycount was excessive

we won't use normals often though

[balmy chasm]

So if 512 resolution looks cool from view distance, just use it

[jade briar]

yes

Hellraven likes to be wrong for some reason

idk why

[cloud crypt]

Huh? I said that he can use multicore? Im not wrong

I dont need to enable single core affinity, also i dont use remix widescreenfix since its absolutely outdated

NFSU2 works all fine with more than 1 core with remix

Outdated Atleast in comparison the one i have

[jade briar]

Remix doesn't change how the game works

The game will still try to use all the cores

regardless of remix being installed

[cloud crypt]

Yeah, never said anything different. Just said that i can use all cores without problems

[jade briar]

So what's the difference between remix installed or not?

Since it doesn't change how the game works

[cloud crypt]

Nothing, i still can use all cores with or without remix without any problems

[jade briar]

So what you're saying is that for you, the game runs fine while using all the cores

[cloud crypt]

NFSU2 more or less has a problem with Hyperthreading

But not with cores itself

[jade briar]

So this means that this is wrong, right?

[cloud crypt]

Not really

[jade briar]

how

[cloud crypt]

Since remix is also more cpu heavy than the base game, also its a fact that remix changes it to 64bit

[jade briar]

Remix doesn't change the game to 64 bit

The bridge translates the 32 bit rendering calls to 64 bit and then uses them for its own rendering purposes

The game internally still runs 32 bit from start to finish

[ember river]

that is correct. Remix runtime engine runs as another separate process compiled to use 64bit. Remix Bridge is the part that intercepts the game's 32bit d3d9 rendering calls and redirects to that other process using IPC Channels
https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/bridge-remix?tab=readme-ov-file#remix-bridge-architecture--implementation-details

[jade briar]

I know that

Show that to hellraven

[balmy whale]

okay so here is the psd, i removed the rust
since I didn't originally make it with this in mind, I tried to rationalize the layers afterwards, and the resoltion is not too high either

[ember shoal]

So I am just getting into this RTX Remix deal and I love NFSU2

I have NO idea how to get it to work though, at least for the car models

Everything is installed but the car models are the old ones

[ember shoal]

Also, the neon and tint aren't working
The neon is solid white and the tint is just doing nothing

[jade briar]

Sounds about right

[surreal ruin]

@ember shoalWe haven't replaced any car models yet, and yes the neon doesn't work

[trail quail]

We have seen the old version of the 350z but it is not officially in there as u said n9 car models yet. I am working rven to make some. Any u eant me to mle other thn the z?

Any models free?

Now the old z wr made looked ok but it had problems

[trail quail]

Seems like the reflections are not too bad guessing it is just the plane underneath it

the hdr map is clipping through the ground :/

wth

We are not a great 3d artist so it might need some fixes when given to be put ingame

We are kinda crap

[trail quail]

when we do a final render though it would be cool to use the background from the main menu

[fallen harbor]

Can someone help me ? I didn't find the file that adds reflection to cars

[ember shoal]

I don’t think the car reflection is in yet

[cloud crypt]

In the next release it maybe will be, who knows

Only because we take our tine zo develop that mod it doesnt mean its dead. We live a live as persons too and do everything in our freetime.
But to give you guys a glint of hope: I will create the best lighting we ever had in the game in the next month (3 to 4 weeks)

[trail quail]

And we will put the best 350z we modelled in there? Well at least to ehat our modelling levels are

And get to work on other cars (yeah we know we need to finish the m3 for the other project)

[trail quail]

Added final part of bumper the indicator. It is quite babrebones but we got lazy lol. Have not decided if we model the inner part

Kinda a bit lazy to probs okay enough we doubt anyone will look there lol

have fixed the grille as well that was clipping through the light

[balmy whale]

i hope you can generate pbr texture from it, i didnt apply moss/dirt on it on purpose

btw this texture was also used with these textures aswell:

[trail quail]

Yep totally logical UV seam EA Blackbox

Oh they did....

But we are following their layout so,...

[trail quail]

:/

[surreal ruin]

Yeah so a problem with their UV's is that they didn't actually manually UV any of it

They just projection UV'd it and called it a day

[trail quail]

Well when the captain says thats what they wanted we gotta follow the captain

:/

If we go down we are taking you all with us

Surely it will be high res enoough not to notice though. UV seams are fairly good at being hidden these days we guess

[trail quail]

Yep first part unwrapped. No lighting issues. It was just a material problem

Yeah... it looks...well good actually at least for our modelling abilities. The other parts are not done yet
just the front

the grey part is not yet unwrapped

[jade briar]

Nice work

[trail quail]

Surprised how clean it is

Well we are at least

We forgot to hide the old indicator so it is actually a bit better

and it will be even more better when we fix the UV's in subDiv mode. Sorry for the spam. That should make it even cleaner

[paper nova]

hey guys, where I can make the download of the remix?

[paper nova]

where?

[paper nova]

thankss

[paper nova]

how can i fix the neon lights? I pi-ck the red one and is white

[trail quail]

Assuming the neon lights do not work properly yet

Not sure shrugs

[paper nova]

oh, okay

thanks

[ember cobalt]

it's from vertex colors being disabled. i don't think they configured it for cars yet? or every car at least

[paper nova]

i cant find the vertex colors in developer menu

[trail quail]

Just trolling with this screenshot

That looks kinda obnoxious 😅

(get back to work scarlet >:D)

hehe

[tawny lake]

Anyone know if this run well on a 3080 ?

[tawny elk]

Runs great on my 12GB 3080

[tawny lake]

What resolution you playing in ?

[tawny elk]

1080p

[tawny lake]

Thanks 👍🏻

[echo bison]

Is my CPU too weak to handle it?

[ember cobalt]

if your GPU is consistently at 97-100% utilization, no

[echo bison]

No, it barely goes to 50%

Here my specs

It lags when I put on Ultra

[ember cobalt]

i'd be surprised if a 10400f is bottlenecking a 3060

but Remix can be really CPU intensive 😦

[echo bison]

Yeah it is my CPU always goes 100%

[ember cobalt]

damn

well, that's a shame

i do wish Remix was more efficient on the CPU side of things. it can push my 12700k to 70% at points

[echo bison]

Wow I wish they update it to be less cpu hungry

On performance mode it runs well but look ugly

[solemn salmon]

You can always lower the DLSS to Performance mode, which should help at least a little bit [Being it Ugly is your opinion, i am fine playing on Ultra Performance just to have stable 60fps xd]. Also, tbh. if your CPU is still at acceptable Temps while playing this [aka. it doesn't go above 90'C] then i don't see a problem, but you still should consider a CPU upgrade for Remix. For example, my Ryzen 5 5600 does handle Remix fine [toolkit too], but i still need to Use Performance or Ultra Performance DLSS mode because of my 3050 with only 4GB of VRAM, and Remix consumes a lot of it, especially while running in Native resolution [without DLSS].

[echo bison]

Yeah I'm thinking about building a new pc with I9

[ember cobalt]

unless you have workloads that are heavily multithreaded (like video encoding), an i9 probably isn't worthwhile

[echo bison]

Oh well I don't play so much heavy games too so you're right

[ember cobalt]

i7 or AMD R7 are very good though

[echo bison]

Yeah I will try it

[tawny elk]

Need a your own power plant for one

[cloud crypt]

Ryzen currently better than intel in any way

i suggest wait for Ryzen 9000 which i launching this July or a bit longer for 9000X3D

[olive moon]

My game takes a long time to open, can anyone help me?

[lusty storm]

alt + tab fixes it for me

[balmy chasm]

To be fair, 9000 series can be troublesome as most of CPU launches these days. So you do risk when buying something extra fresh now. I'd suggest to get 9000 series CPU in a year or so after launch. And for now you can grab 7000 series X3D chips with waaaaaaay less risks as they have been polished on mobo manufacturers side as well

[errant willow]

why is it when ever i launch the game it launchs in 640 x 480 or idk and ik have the wide screen fix thing

and when i try to change the res in the game it closses the game and sets it back to 640 x 480

[balmy chasm]

You probably haven't installed it correctly or haven't configured it

[errant willow]

i followed a youtube tut and it worked fine for him did everything and i have it configed

[balmy chasm]

Rename dinput8.dll to dsound.dll

[errant willow]

aight tysm

didnt work

[cloud crypt]

The ingame res has no influence! Using the widescreenfix will set the resolution to a fix value, the ingame values get ignored

They always will reset when you use widescreenfix

Cause the game doesnt support widescreens.
Just ignore the resolution settings

[errant willow]

yea but it looks literally like the original game js a little bit better lighting if i use 640 rs

res

[cloud crypt]

Delete the widescreenfix.asi and .ini and u will see a huge difference

[trail quail]

As we are nearing the end of modelling the exterior (minor modelling and fixes left) and get ready to Unwrap the other parts of the model. While that is added ingame, next is modelling the interior and even an intercooler 🙂 brrrrrrr shiiiiii tstutututututu (makes obnoxious turbo and blow off valve noises). After that we are also working on the m3 for MW and then some other cars. It is been a bit of slow progress as we aren't only modelling 2 vehicles, we are making other assets and also working on personal art. We are trying to cram all this in our days. The grind is real

Been quite the journey so far and whilst we are not that good of an artist surely this model will not disappoint

🥺

[trail quail]

forgot to hide old indicator btw

Hope no one started the celica coz erm
😳 (ignore the wheels just put em there cause lol)

Working on 3 cars at once and other stuff is hard

🥺

If they have we will do something else though

OR maybe keep it as our own

[cloud crypt]

You know that you would need to model all the tuning parts for the celica too?

[desert ridge]

Instead of Rachael's 350z, other cars cannot be replaced right now, due to a random meshhash issue. So we focus on other things for now.

[trail quail]

Yeah

[trail quail]

Maybe like props?

We can make props

Or traffic

[balmy chasm]

Traffic is perfect pick. But before starting, make sure to pick correct vehicles for them. Keep in mind it should be the types of cars popular in south US in 2000 year

[cloud crypt]

So, Ford crown vic, some altezzas, ford/gmc/ chevy vans

[tight vault]

Wish I owned the game, be cool to run on Steam Deck

[trail quail]

Side door

[balmy chasm]

We request you to share progression with greymat+wireframe alongside beauty pass 🙏

[trail quail]

Apart from some cleanup, most of the wireframe looks like this. Obv will cut some loops when final

We guess it is clean

some flow needs fixing but we will do that soon

[balmy chasm]

Wait, this pinch is gone now?

[trail quail]

Well the real 350z has a smoth transition after seeing pictures so we did it that was

way

[trail quail]

We can add it again if you prefer it though

?

[balmy chasm]

No no. Keep to refs

[trail quail]

We messed up last time cause the low poly of the NFS2003 one made us believe it was pinched we should have followed the real pics

[trail quail]

We dun goofed big time on the old model

[trail quail]

Still tweaking the flow

Have you seen this message of E-Man? You're doing edge bevels like on first one, but they have to be like second picture

[trail quail]

Catmull clark was on but then I fixed the loops. They were set up right, they just needed to be moved correctly and also the support loops were missing

Have to see why it thinks there is a curved bevel there

aww watit I might try saomething

[trail quail]

Yeah I know what went wrong. I forgot to add supporting loops to each side. It doesn't show that weird curve anymore

[trail quail]

Fixed the arch as we forgot to add it. Was missing the thicc

[vivid thicket]

Understood, thank you for your service

[digital salmon]

In the game NFS Underground 2, there are many houses that are immersed in textures on one floor. If someone is making a remake, get them out of the ground)

This is a three-storey building, the ground floor was removed for textures. This is the building above the asphalt textures.

[trail quail]

interesting

[surreal ruin]

If the building was moved downwards it's clear that the developers intent was to have a shorter building there

[jade briar]

Yeah I was about to say

A taller building there doesn't make sense

[jade briar]

Proceeds to completely block the building in the back

[jade briar]

How'd you do it anyway?

[fading condor]

I edited this model in a Blender, then found its hash in Streamlabs and replaced it with a new hash of my newly edited model, the compiled Geometry via CarTookKIt, that I added to the TexWizard (an alternative to the Global.lz file)

[jade briar]

Gyat

[trail quail]

this is happening frequently on my game

[surreal ruin]

Looks like you didn't install the mod correctly

[trail quail]

i just dropped it on my game folder

[surreal ruin]

And didn't change any of the in game settings?

[trail quail]

i did

i used those settings

[surreal ruin]

It doesn't look like RTX is actually on

That just looks like the rasterized game

What graphics card are you on?

[trail quail]

rtx 3060

[surreal ruin]

Hm yeah in that case you've just done something wrong when you installed it, because that's not path traced

Are you using any other mods?

[trail quail]

i have few smaller mods, i think i'll try install the original game and use only widescreen fix

[surreal ruin]

Yeah we always advice avoiding using other mods, we're not compatible with most

Also make sure it's the US copy you're playing on

[trail quail]

aight

its working properly now

[surreal ruin]

Sweet!

[vagrant cove]

alright chat ima try rtx remix again after idk how many months

how do I get started again ._.

[vagrant cove]

OH RIGHT. thanks uncle burrito

[vagrant cove]

keep forgetting those exist

[vagrant cove]

getting these 2 errors

this is what im supposed to use to update it no?

nvm fixed both 👍

cool I got it working

just one problem

my fps is LOW 💀

thats normal right? I have a 3060ti

[languid light]

Yea, You might not have too great of a time with this card

Path Tracing is extremely demanding

[vagrant cove]

whats the keybind to bring up the overlay again?

[languid light]

alt + x if I recall correctly

[vagrant cove]

ah okok

im having the same problem I did last time

blurry shadow under car when I have low or medium settings

[tight vault]

DLSS is your friend

[tight vault]

Things like denoising quality are reduced at lower settings so that might contribute

[vagrant cove]

does this look normal for high settings?

[daring badger]

what is this?

i did everything as it on git hub

[surreal ruin]

Looks like you missed a few steps!

[daring badger]

yeah, i see

thx

nfs remix forgot to input into game folder

xd the most valuable thing

[surreal ruin]

Little bit 😛

[daring badger]

hell yeaaaah

[timid prairie]

Приятного осмотра

Guys please, rule 10, stick to english

[surreal ruin]

Yeah remix is real heavy!

[daring badger]

yeah sorry

just answered

^))

[trail quail]

i crashed an npc using those settings and my game crashed lmao

maybe i should try 720p

[dusky osprey]

did you turn on ray reconstruction?

[vagrant cove]

As far as im aware no. Am I supposed to?

[dusky osprey]

try it

i had this same problem with me in most wanted

[vagrant cove]

how do I turn it on?

where would it be?

[dusky osprey]

and ray reconstruction made it so much better

open rtx remix menu

below dlss you will see it

[vagrant cove]

ah okok lemme try it

[dusky osprey]

alr

[vagrant cove]

here or in the developer settings?

[dusky osprey]

developer menu

[vagrant cove]

where from here?

[dusky osprey]

i think you are on older version

wait

[vagrant cove]

oh yeah I have an older version

do I just drop it in and replace everything?

[dusky osprey]

yes

[vagrant cove]

alr one second

[dusky osprey]

this is without reconstruction

this is with reconstruction

let me knoww if it helps

[vagrant cove]

uhh

its just a black screen now ._.

[dusky osprey]

huh?

[vagrant cove]

the game lol

imma reinstall it rq

then only put in the 0.5

[dusky osprey]

damn what happened

alr

[vagrant cove]

uhhh I think your version is broken

I downloaded the version in the pins

yours kinda uh

screws up my resoulution

[dusky osprey]

wdym?

[vagrant cove]

my resoulution is a square now lol

also the game is off center

[dusky osprey]

ohh i see

just change any game visual settings and revert it

and you will be fine

[vagrant cove]

game crashed when I changed the in game res

💀

[dusky osprey]

try advance settings

[jade briar]

Change the res through the file in the scripts folder

WideScreenFix.asi

Os something like that

[vagrant cove]

the one he gave me has no scripts folder 😭

[jade briar]

💀

[dusky osprey]

bro i gave you remix 💀

you have to install widescreen fix

[vagrant cove]

alr one sec

still one more problem

the game is off center

[dusky osprey]

alr

so go in widescreenfir.asi

or ini idk

and change widescreen mode to5

[vagrant cove]

EMV or HUD

[dusky osprey]

there is widescreenmode

send ss

[dusky osprey]

ohh sorry

windowed mode

[jade briar]

Change resx and resy to your screen res

Rest can stay default

[dusky osprey]

4

[vagrant cove]

lol 5 still worked

[dusky osprey]

okk

do you see the option now?

[vagrant cove]

cars gone 🗿 (not in gameplay though)

let me check

yeah I see it now

[jade briar]

Rays aren't tracing

[dusky osprey]

yea

[vagrant cove]

now its on

[dusky osprey]

ok but there is no ray tracing

[jade briar]

Rays aren't tracing

[vagrant cove]

hmm

how do I fix

[dusky osprey]

did you even install underground remix?

[jade briar]

Fix by installing the mod from mod db, and then installing the new version of remix that @dusky osprey gave after

[vagrant cove]

OOH

okok one second

I see now

[jade briar]

Just reinstall everything at this point

[dusky osprey]

i think he didnt install the underground remiz

[jade briar]

Yes

[dusky osprey]

hey uncle burrito

[jade briar]

[vagrant cove]

my game is just a black screen now ._.

or not?

wat

nvm just the intro is black

[jade briar]

Whenever the new update is ready

[vagrant cove]

the rays are now tracing

I gotta turn the quality down

[jade briar]

They are, yes

no

[vagrant cove]

where do I download it from again?

[dusky osprey]

wdym?

[vagrant cove]

debugoptimized says its debugoptimized

[vagrant cove]

epic thanks

[jade briar]

Once its downloaded, copy everything to game folder EXCEPT dxvk.conf

@vagrant cove

[vagrant cove]

sounds good

gotta update my gpu rq

[white talon]

work for me man u version . rtx 4060 ryzen 3600 game base not mod

[vagrant cove]

still a black loadup screen. even lower fps 😭

[jade briar]

Go change ur settings and stuff

[vagrant cove]

remix settings or in game settings

[jade briar]

remixc

[vagrant cove]

the settings are now studdering

I have dlss on ultra performance and the preset on low

wasnt like this when I just intalled the pinned zip

heres how the game used to look on the files from the pinned message

[jade briar]

Enable frame gen nd ray reconstruction if you have a 40 series card

[vagrant cove]

sadly I got a 30 series card

3060 ti

[jade briar]

Ah

Now That's WEAK

[vagrant cove]

this is how it looks now

[jade briar]

Performance is about to be expected

[vagrant cove]

but why did my fps drop HARD when I updated it?

[jade briar]

No clue

It could be the anti culling script

Try removing it and try again

[vagrant cove]

alr one second

[vagrant cove]

it helped just still have that weird shadow under me

and the settings are stilll studdering for some reason

takes like 25 clicks for it to actually click it

[jade briar]

Change the window mode to 4

[vagrant cove]

thats whats its onlol

[jade briar]

[vagrant cove]

😭

[severe solstice]

[tight vault]

I still haven't even managed to play the game, lol

[trail quail]

Ignore sawtooth shadows
Side mirror
also clipping geo is from the low poly interior
Not a modelling issue we made

[daring badger]

but ray reconstrution must work on rtx 30xx also

rtx 3080 in 1080p

cpu is r7 5700x3d

[plush wyvern]

https://tenor.com/view/mutt-clump-skull-gif-25258416

if you get 21 fps in rtx 3080 on 1080p

then my RTX 3060 will turn into dust 2 mins in the game

[daring badger]

but look at the utilization of gpu

only 60-65%

it's problem of optimization

[tight vault]

My RX 7600: 💥💥💥

[frank sandal]

[surreal ruin]

Check the pins

[frank sandal]

github

[surreal ruin]

Alt + X to open the dev menu where you have all the settings

Please go read #remix-beginners-guide

[frank sandal]

um the website is flagged as a virus

the download i mean

[surreal ruin]

shrug

It's not

@jade briar We had false positives on the DL before?

[jade briar]

I haven't gotten any fp before, but remix itself might get flagged because it's a dll injection

[surreal ruin]

Tru dat

Regardless the download is safe, so you shouldn't have to worry about that

[frank sandal]

how do i get the runtime from github im a noob

[surreal ruin]

#remix-beginners-guide

[frank sandal]

[jade briar]

It is right there in the description my man

[frank sandal]

dude the description is just that: Need for speed: Underground 2 Remix is a graphics overhaul mod that aims to bring the game's graphics up to today's standards using Nvidia's RTX Remix technology.

[jade briar]

There should be a read more button

[frank sandal]

unless im blind no

[severe solstice]

give me your eyes

[jade briar]

Go to the files tab

I fucking hate moddb

[frank sandal]

yes me too

[jade briar]

Unnecessarily complicated

[frank sandal]

ive never used it before though

so my opinion dont count lol

[jade briar]

It is simply bad

[surreal ruin]

Problem with MODDB is that it hasn't changed for like 20 years

[frank sandal]

still no read more

[jade briar]

Even setting up the mod and uploading took me 4 hours because of how bad the system is

[surreal ruin]
