First i want to thanks for the original script from Alex Sawczuk.
The script move selected vertices to a source vertices list.
First select vertices to add to list as a source vertices. Can use various objects.
Select the vertices you want to move and press “Move selected verts”
A new Glue function to GmaterialTool 1.8d.
Can glue selected objects to a source surface.
When V (vertices) option is checked all vertices from each object will glue to surface. Is useful for road decals.
Before convert points to corners create shape from center edge for mapping.
Never delete points from track, just merge (fuse).
Another alternative is using Shape Merge (Compound Object).
This script import 3d objects in GMT2 format (ISI) to 3ds max.
+ Shaders conversion (rf1 to rf2 shaders)
+ Set Source Blend and Dest Blend.
+ No need rf1 shaders MAS file.
+ Add “RaceSurface_” prefix for track objects
+ Can chose material slot
+ Create Layers
+ Import BTB terrainBlend.
+ Two nice progress bars
The register file is only available for users of TrackMaker & importGEO.
(copy to MAX dir)
New version of Trakmaker PRO 0.85 for max
Fixed “crosslines space Distribution” function.
Cambers now align to perpendicualr of curve tangent.
Can import full AIW (pitlane and corridors)
Can create track form AIW.
Convertion of Lienz track from rFactor1 to rFactor2
Changes:
+ BillBoard Trees
+ More mesh resolution in road.
+ Fix and some optimizations
+ Wet reflections only in town and pit.
This is a full release remove the old version.
Beta 0.90 download v0.90
Convertions to rf2 FEATURES:
- RealRoad in all roads.
- grass and gravel
- update some textures
- New 360 degrees of horizon of mountains.
What remains to be done.
- Road reflections
- Circuit Night lights
- BillBoard Trees
-MARSHAL FLAG
- Optimizations
The trees are from rf1 version for better looking disable HDR
Track Maker pro 0.85
+ Import AIW
+ Fix bugs
+ Reference Spline stored in track
Download 0.85a
Trackmaker 0.84 fix mapping V coords
Full options
Create Track | Edit Track | Vertex Clipboard and UV map
Install:
Unzip and copy folder “Scripts” to your MAX folder “Scripts”.
The script is in “3ds Max\Scripts\Trackmaker”.
If you want do add the script to a menu or toolbar go to “customize user interface” and look for “Category:MMtools” and drag into a menu or toolbar.
How to install
Spline Tools 0.83
Start a track
version v 0.81
Changes:
Some bugs fix
- Can update track by a reference spline
Version v 0.82
- Fix lines distribution. Issues to solve : first line in middle of selection
- build-in Better Normalize spline
Version 0.82b Bugs fixes and optimizations
Version 0.82c
Bug fixes and optimizations
- Added More Spline Tools Straight Line and Equal Tangs ( Curves)
Reset all Bezier tangents.
“Straight Line“
Select two bezier vertex and press “Straight Line” button several times until get a straight line.
“Equal Tangs”
Select two bezier vertex (start curve and finish) and press “Equal Tangs” once. Then change the value “Tangs Lens” until you get to obtain the desired curve.
Track Maker pro 0.83
+ Elevation profile
+ Export/import to CSV file
+ Bezier tools
Straight Lines
turns equal tangents
Track Maker pro 0.84
+ Fix V coordinates of spline mapping
+ Reorganize UI
+ Fix bug when select last and first crosslines.
Create KML Path
Elevation Profile
Export Sat images from SASPlanet
Import images to max
Create track withTrackmaker pro
Spline UV MApping
Importing data to 3ds max is fundamental to try to reproduce the real world in3d environment.
I made two scripts spline CSV IO (Import/Export) and Import Geo.
Install: Copy files to <MAXdir>/scripts/startup
Use: go to “utilities” tab (hammer) –> MAXscripts->Utilities
This scrip import/Export regular CSV files. Are text files with columns of data separated by commas, semicolon or spaces.
Import Spline
Z value: If checked this is the Z value of all spline. (flat)
Delimited char: Is the character used for separation columns.
Export Splines
Select splines and press “Get Selected Splines”
Axis: check axis to export
This script import Geographic coordinates (longitude,latitude and Altitude). The coordinates are decimal format (40.446195, -79.948862) Altitude is in meters.
KML Path
Import a Path from Google Earth. The file is a kml format.
After import the script recenter the coordinates to center of max. For the first import the script creates an object called “TRACK_CENTER_MESH”. This object don’t have points only stores the center and can be used for others imports. Can hide the object or move to a layer.
Motec CSV
Import csv from motec i2 software.
skip points: GPS devices collect too many points near each other. With this parameter you can jump the amount of points.
“Don’t calculate Center”: Don’t calculate the new center. The center is store in “TRACK_CENTER_MESH”.
Spline
Define the spline parameters.
1.8 changes:
- Can import Lines Shapes in KML, CSV and GPX with Geographic coordinates (Long. Lat. Altitude).
- Import tiles Satellite images from SASPlanet. Can import tiles size of 1024×1024 to get a sharp image in max.
- Can import multi images in a folder
All geographical coordinates are centered max. So all geographic contents (images and paths) are aligned correctly between them.
