stef_92 Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 The best car reflection for GTA3 is the reflection from the RealGTA mod !!! When I played this mod I saw how much better it looks and I decided to put it in the original game! And the result was awsome! Look: The Banshee looks best: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demarest Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 The modding forums is that way. You've been told this before. Besides, it's my understanding that the GTA3 engine doesn't consider such things. Unless you're talking XBox, which comes with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stef_92 Posted May 25, 2007 Author Share Posted May 25, 2007 So if this is for the editing forum the moderators will decide! And the XBOX reflection is realtime (i think). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demarest Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 I used to be a moderator. And a GTAIII led-by before (and after) that. Besides, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that the modding section is that way. Don't take my word for it; Use your own eyes.

lord fido Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 yeah dem, but if it doesnt get posted on there, you can use common sense to bring it here. I think there should be a gta3 and classics mods & editing showroom right under GTA3 General discussion, but i dont own the forum, so... things stay like they are.

jnzooger Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Hum...yummy plastic wrap.... I have never seen a real car wrapped in plastic wrap, and I hope I never do. I imagine this is what it would look like though. I've noticed that most new games have this look and it is BAD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stef_92 Posted May 26, 2007 Author Share Posted May 26, 2007 (edited) If you want this reflection here is the texture: For alpha channel use WHITE 512x512 image !

Blackadder. Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 For alpha channel use WHITE 512x512 image ! Or you know...Don't use an Alpha channel at all And it does look like it's in Plastic, and I don't like it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claude GTA3 Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 I heard that it's possible to do real-time for PC GTA's,but it puts a plastic cover over peds and buildings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stef_92 Posted May 27, 2007 Author Share Posted May 27, 2007 (edited) Ok! I know that some cars look like they are made from a plastic! But if you are so clever why you don't draw one realistic and nice at the same time reflection!? Edited May 27, 2007 by stef_92 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCPD Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 I have no idea where the whole plastic idea came from, as to me it looks more like a very polished effect. Good job stef_92! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stef_92 Posted May 27, 2007 Author Share Posted May 27, 2007 (edited) I made a new reflection! It don't look like a plastic and it is more realistic! Here u go: It is still a beta test but if you have any ideas for improving it you can write here! Edited May 27, 2007 by stef_92 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demarest Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 Good job stef_92! He said it was the "reflection" from RealGTA3. A project he had nothing to do with. You guys can stop calling this a reflection now. In LCS, I saw REFLECTIONS, meaning that objects around me were reflected by the car. This is just a texture overlay and doesn't reflect a thing.

cant remember Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 (edited) Good job stef_92! He said it was the "reflection" from RealGTA3. A project he had nothing to do with. You guys can stop calling this a reflection now. In LCS, I saw REFLECTIONS, meaning that objects around me were reflected by the car. This is just a texture overlay and doesn't reflect a thing. It's a crude reflection effect though. It would be like saying smoke isn't really smoke because it's just a graphic and not actually inhalable smoke. It's a game so obviously everything is just a representation of something. How they do it (an animated sprite or a 3D blub or an even more real haze) is a different thing. EDIT: I don't see how else you're supposed to call it. Reflection would be the most comprehensible way of pointing it out so people know what you're talking about. Plus I don't think it really matters anyway. You're like the paperclip from Word, annoying the typer with suggestions they don't want.

stef_92 Posted May 27, 2007 Author Share Posted May 27, 2007 Actualy I call it "reflection" because the texture is called "reflection01.bmp" ! Anyway, do you have any idea to change my current made "reflection" EDIT: Before write about the reflection first use it in the game and then write!

ThunderPower Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 (edited) I would like to see the Manana. Also, Dem: stop being so hateful. I, for one, like this. You don't have to be so mad at someone who took the reflections of off RealGTA3 cars and put them on GTA3 cars... he wanted to do it as a project. Just like your website. How would you feel if I kept nitpicking every little thing wrong with your website? Also #2, where do I put the reflection bmp?

Demarest Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 It's a crude reflection effect though. It would be like saying smoke isn't really smoke because it's just a graphic and not actually inhalable smoke. It's NOT a reflection effect and it it's not at all like smoke. Smoke does not require anything of outside sources. It needs only be translucent. Reflection (effect) would mean that you can see in the car that which is near the car. Only on the XBox does this take place in GTA3. EDIT: Before write about the reflection first use it in the game and then write! I don't need to mod my game to know that my game does not support reflections. Also, Dem: stop being so hateful. I, for one, like this. You don't have to be so mad at someone who took the reflections of off RealGTA3 cars and put them on GTA3 cars... I wasn't being hateful. Since commands are your thing, stop being so accusatory. This is the second time you've accused me of something that I was not guilty of. Last time, I explained how you were wrong and you couldn't even bother with an apology. So don't worry about that which isn't there. I never said I didn't like it. That was other people. I was never mad. This is a forum. The things we write will be viewed by others later, who are looking for things. Which is why we put them in the right forums and call them what they are. This is modding and therefore has no place here. My saying so is a statement of fact and in no way conveys hatred or dislike. What is being peddled here is NOT a reflection (effect). My saying so is a statement of fact and in no way conveys hatred or dislike. My reference to RealGTA3 was just to let somebody know who was complimenting stef for doing this that the RealGTA3 team was the ones who did it (at that point). My saying so is a statement of fact and in no way conveys hatred or dislike. Keep it honest, or is there a reason you cannot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackadder. Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 I think awhile ago Dexx made a hack for VC, which actually made the vehicles reflect the environment, can't remember where though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to replace it in particle.txd wich is situated in the models folder. I made another 'reflection'! It is now 512x512! So first replace the alpha and then the texture!

What other thing did I accuse you of before? Now that I think about it, I don't even know why I came back to this forum.

ThunderPower Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 I'd like to ask: what should we use as an alpha channel? The white box like you said? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stef_92 Posted June 10, 2007 Author Share Posted June 10, 2007 I'd like to ask: what should we use as an alpha channel? The white box like you said? Actualy you can use the same image as alpha channel, but I said to use white 256x256 image. There are no difference, but if you use the default alpha channel the reflection won't be the whole! If you want use a white image, if you want use the same image like the first, but NOTHING OTHER ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
