Just been having fun with the beta and fixing UV's while Ernegien or someone figures the UV problem.

@RacingFreak: Disable the tuning rear bumpers and exhausts, you'd get the same faces as Forza 3. Forza 4 has a bodykit for the 2011 Taurus SHO but in Forza 3 they didn't. "BumperFB, BumperRB, ExhaustRB, ExhaustLB, SkirtRB, SkirtLB etc"


Just saying, encase you didn't notice.

I matched the UV's up on a car. *The interior leathers etc are just my custom UV's but the main interior texture (As the heater and button logo's were Forza 4 UV rescaled and moved) http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/153/teslaex.jpg http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/4079/unled2aw.jpg *3dsmax didn't l...

So are they exporting correctly now or do you think there's some form of scale being applied to them as well? I'm also only exporting the first of two texture coordinates, any ideas what the second would be used for? Scale and position are the ones that are missing. My images I have shown is using ...

Tip: Don't attach any body parts with others.. That's how UV mapping goes crazy. Car hoods, some front bumpers, rear bumpers will be over sized and that is what makes the UV mapping look incorrect. Separate part by part UV's work but they are just out of place and not sized. :] Here is a prime examp...

@Bregel: Are you using the "forza studio 10.17.11" ? Because the old Forza Studio had bad UV mapping, I am using the 10.17.11 I can see the mapping but like I have said in my post it just needs to be placed and resized properly. Example: Using the 99 Toyota GT1. http://img534.imageshack.us...

@Ernegien: Gave it a shot myself and UV is still not mapping out. I didn't notice a slight change though, if that is worth anything. :] Edit: Slightly stretched I think as its hanging over the texture.

Great work, I been snooping around all the cars. I shall wait for LOD1 to 5 and UV mapping.

Turn10 have finally fixed their precession with models.

FM3 - BMW 2002 Turbo




FM4 - BMW 2002 Turbo

@Ernegien: Will your Forza Studio use the scale of the models to the same size as FM3 models? Or will it export the new size FM4 uses?

As much as I am not Energien.


I can answer that though, yes the ZIP format is the same as Forza 3. When I looked inside of FM4 cars I just used the zip script for QuickBMS.

Awesome progress.


Pretty neat that FM4 isn't released yet and yet we will have your forza studio updated to support FM4 cars.

toolieo, the demo does not have autovista. i could imagine doorsills and engines maybe only in the final game ... ? That is true but even the other cars that you cannot drive in the demo still have their full cockpit file, acting like a full car. :) Guess we'll have to wait till the release, I hone...

Forza 4 has the Cinque Roadster only, Turn10 put the soft top up on it. :( The difference with the Cinque Roadster and Cinque (Coupe?) is the air scoop. http://img833.imageshack.us/img833/294/unled1gg.th.jpg I believe you can take it off the Zonda Cinques soft top during Autovista mode (Don't quote ...

Epic win.. That's all I can say mate.



Edit: Something that came to mind, the Pagani Cinque Roadster is a Autovista car. I noticed in your forzastudio progress that the full modeled engine is not there or is that part of the cockpit LOD0?
