Is it possible to create mirror materials in rFactor that reflect objects-- and not just the cube map?

I'm thinking the answer is "no" but I thought I'd check.

Not that I know of. Then I thought of the spinner. Hmmmm

I think I've read that the answer is "no". But I can't find it. And I don't remember if it was here or at RSC.

Anyway, since I'm working on something that kills frame rates, I figured I'd try to add something that ought to make sure that they stay dead.

ZOMBIE FRAMERATES
AHEAD!!!!




Aim for the head.

In 3dSimEd, select the material that you want to be the mirror and select the "Render Target" checkbox near the top of the Material Dialog.

This is not what he was asking....

That's right. I'm looking for highly reflective road and wall surfaces. There are a couple of shaders listed in SimEd that might work-- rain reflective, for instance-- but I don't know if they are rFactor shaders. The surfaces don't have to be 100% mirrors, either.

I cant wait to see this thing you are working on Maybe indulge us with a screen shot or two?

I'm afraid it will be a crazy fun house track lol

It will fall into the novelty track category, yes.

I investigated the spinner mirror function. There is a reflective material in the default rFactor spinner. However, the car parts are also labeled as reflective in the *Spinner.GEN file. I assume that one requires the other-- the material will reflect only GMT's labeled as reflective. I'll investigate further when the time comes.

Aren't some variables GEN file specific?

You have enough to go on with these. It is an idea track at it's core, after all. Though one idea is not depicted in the screen shots.

Wow. That's quite the track. A glassy surface in space. Can't wait to try it out. Just a few questions. How do you get the gravity? Do you have each car pressurized, or does the driver wear a pressure suite? And how do you keep the cars cool in a vacuum environment?

It is an illusion. It is the same old game with standard mods, but with a different take on track and environment textures. If someone wants funky physics to go along with it, then they would need to develop them within the restrictions of the game.

In science fiction terms, you could claim that the technology used created an area of 1G in a specific direction ("down") on and around the track area. This technology also created an atmosphere within the same area-- since the Earth has none (oops!). I suppose a slight fog effect should be implemented to represent that bit.

I would like to know how you get the snowy effect I am working on that for a mod of my own, but yours looks better than mine
