Thanks for the updates Piboso.... Brilliant job! ;D
Thanks PiBoSo ;)
Could you detail what are the latest changes?
Has it an influence for modders?
Thank you! Does it support zoom for cameras?
i saw a new type of camera, Arc, what kind of camera is?
Thanks PiBoSo

The most important change is the addition of a new program, FBX2EDF, that should allow any 3d modelling program with a FBX plugin to export.
It adds support for "arc" cameras and autozoom.
It adds export of shadow and windscreen models. It is recommended to use "shadow" for shadow models.
Thanks for the details ;)

some questions about this: can we set the maximum/minimum distance for zoom?
how does it works?
Great update! Thank you!

I use the same option as in the pictures above.
Here is the difference:
-Number of texture (160)
-Number of polygon ( 420 000 )
I would do the test set or the problem is

Not tested yet, I keep you informed
Wonderful no problem with the 32bit version
Previous export plugins contained 2012 versions, current have only 2010. Working on W7-64 on all my PCs, using 2014 and 2012, am I need additionaly install 2010 for correct exporting?

"Reference" sets the requested size of the vehicle on the screen. 1 = all the screen. A good starting value is 0.5
Min Fov and Max Fov should be self-explanatory. They are the min and max angle ( in degrees ) the camera can use for autozoom.
Thank you for explaining reference value :)

Trying it out I can't tell if my camera is zooming or not. I have them enabled and I putting in variations of this.
}
camera1
{
type = 0
pos = 363.245453, 13.399162, 827.750549
fov = 15.000000
rot = 220.000000

enable = 1
start = 197.000000
end = 500.000000
}
autozoom
{
enable = 1
reference = 1.000000
min = 60.000000
max = 10.000000
}
}
Shouldn't it be 60 on max and 10 on minimum?
Another thing: now it doesn't save only the reference value

I didn't really notice a different when I had it the other way around. I was trying to get it to be the farthest the bike is away the closest the field of view. And the opposite for the other way around.

With autozoom, the bike should be about the same size regardless of distance.
Probably it's not working because the "size" section is missing in the cameras.cfg of each bike.
Something like:
size
{
x = 0.5
y = 1
z = 2
}
Track tools updated to fix a bug with cameras autozoom interface and to add a new tool, "TerrainEd".
Thx.
Could you please update the EDF export plugin for 3DS max? I have 3DS max 2014 but the plugin is for < 2010. Thank you ;)
Very much appreciated Piboso. Thank you! ;) 8)

I wasn't able to get the auto zoom feature to work. I set the camera up for it, then in the bikes camera file I added the code but it didn't seem to make a difference.

me too
Did you get the autozoom to work in the meantime? I have used it with some cams and it works.
really? what values did you put ( for example )?
Reference 0.100000
Min FOV 0.000000
Max FOV 60.000000
for example
and the change in the cameras.cfg (I used what PiBoSo wrote).
If it really doesn't work I could upload a cam file, too.
Go it working, thanks.
really? i try it now

yeah, thanks, i couldn't get it working
I just changed the original cam file for Victoria (Trackside). Some cams don't make sense but it works for me.
The cameras.cfg is the one I have for the Murasama RC990.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/dzmwcszxnppsuen/cam.zip
Hope it helps!
do i need the camera cfg of a bike?
Not exactly this one. It just already contains the "size { x = 0.5 y = 1 z = 2 }" that is needed for autozoom to work.
It's the one I have in my Murasama folder (I just tried autozoom with Murasama and CBR 600). But for some of the other bikes it seems to be the same file.
You have to change the cameras.cfg for every bike you want to use autozoom with. When I watch a bike without the change but with a cam with autozoom the screen gets just black.
I don't know why autozoom doesn't work for you so I uploaded it as well.
cause i didn't change the settings for bikes, thank you!
Yes to get the zoom to work you have to add code to every bike camera file. So it works with every bike. I've already done this the zooming camera really makes the cameras look nice, and you can always see the action.
i tried it, looks awesome, i just need some time to do a set of cameras for every track
Hello,
I have a problem with camera type 3 arc, i have tested many things but it doesnt works, please help me. The 3 points are placed with great précision for an arc, i have made an arc in 3ds and taked the xyz vertex values and reported it in trackedit. I have tried to place the blue point (center) along the arc but not good, there it is place at the exactly center of the arc.
Screenshot of the camera type 3 arc on a curve:

TerrainED(from the latest track tools version) for the first time and getting the same thing happen as the above quote posted in 2014(over 3 years ago).... How soon is your soon Piboso? ;D
I'm just very curious what it's use is? Could you at least give us a quick overview of what it's used for as a GPB track tool besides the obvious from it's name of course. ;D
Also. Why does it open the command-line window and then close again straight away?
There appears to be an issue with new EDF2FBX tool. It is messing with the UV map on a Bike. Not all of them, only certin models.
(https://i.imgur.com/qIA5g9C.jpg)
The tank, fairings and exhaust are all part of the same UV unwrap but are seperate models. The swing arm and hanelbars are also having issues. They are fine in other 3d aplications (maya, 3dSimED, 3d coat etc)
Another issue i have been having with this bike is that the swingarm sometimes wouldn't export. It appears when imported into other 3d aplications so im not sure why it disapears. This was happeneing with the old FBX2EDF and both the new ones, I only found out yesterday so haven't reported it yet.

Ahh! There it is.... I stand corrected and apologise Piboso... I never thought to look in the MXB sections for GPBike related stuff but obviously TerrainED is not for use with GPBikes Track creation workflow(I'm presuming) hence my misunderstanding. ;) 8)
Thanks for letting us know Piboso. ;)
PS: Just saw an interesting function for MXB tracks: "
Environment Sounds". I think this would be something that we could play with for GPbikes for the interaction of the crowd noise and possible other noises too? Any chance of implementing this into GPB for the next beta update?
