By GTV you mean Gran Turismo 5? If yes, then no, it's not true.
A standard polycount in Forza 3-4 is around 130k triangles. Some more but not over 200k.
Autovista models in Forza4 are 500k-700k triangles, only the Autovista models have these details.
GT5 nowhere has these huge amount of triangles count.

Here are some GT5 pictures and if you have trained eyes and look closer, you can see the edges of the triangles:

And most of the cars are way too smooth than supposed in real life.

But don't get your hopes up if you want it so bad. GT5 cannot be hacked.

No problem, man!
GT5 is not that really worthy because only 200 cars are premium cars and the rest of 800-900 are mediumpoly and they have no interior.

Hi everyone,

i´m new here and i will use this Thread to explain what i´m looking for.I´ve got some extra packs from FM4 in a ZIP file.Once it´s unzipped on my desk .how should i do, to be abble to open it to get some .carbin etc to open it with FORZA STUDIO ?

This is the file i ve got once unzipped:

The point of this is to have the possibility to have some .OBJ to work on it with 3DS MAX , to make nice renders.

In advance thanks

I use wxPirs tool.

Thanks for the tips,but now what is the next step , once the pack is unzipped .I have some FSB file .What should i use, FORZA STUDIO?

Ok , i think FSB files are sound files:
Answer: A file with the FSB file extension is a FMOD Sample Bank Format file.
FSB files are usually used to store sound information, like music and speech, for video games designed for popular console systems like the Xbox, PlayStation, and more.

I´m a bit lost now ;(

Next step is unpacking .zip files with QuickBMS and zip.bms script, then you have folders with .carbin files for Forza Studio and .xds files with textures (XTX tool can convert them to .TGA).

But if you need only renders, i have easy solution for you )
Check your PM.

I don't know why, but Forza Studio 4.0 stopped working for me . It was working fine this morning, but when I came home from work and booted up my PC, went to load Forza Studio and it says "Has stopped working" and does not give me an error report . I did not install anything new or change any files, not sure what happened, maybe a windows update? I don't know. But looking forward to your new release!!

PS: I have another computer that it still works on, just got to get up and sit in other chair.

Oh my PC specs. (The one that Forza Studio stopped working on)

Windows 7 64bit
16 gig of ram
Nvidia geforce 560Ti
Intel Core I7-2600k Processor

EDIT: I found out the problem, I need new glasses . Do not switch your Icons/text size to 125 DPI or above, because that cause forza studio to not work!

YOU SIR DESERVE A SIX PACK OF BEER!!! I've been fighting this for the last year. WHY COULD I NOT GET FORZA STUDIO TO RUN? My DPI was set @ 120. After setting it back to the defualt of 96 the program instantly works perfectly. Insane! But I'll take it. Thanks for sharing the information. And of course thanks to the author of the program...maybe a case of beer?

Hello

I'm trying to find the Sedona and Nordschleife track files on the discs but I am unable to locate them, I have looked on disc 2 but all I can see in the disc 2 files is the cars and their wheels.

Please could someone advise me as to where the files for these tracks is on the FM3 (or FM4) discs. If it's on disc 2 how do I extract it? - all the tools I've got, wxPirs, Forza Studio etc. only extract the cars and wheels.

Many thanks.

Anybody still messing with the carbin format?

I've contacted Ernegien about the possibility of importing a obj file back into the carbin which he said quite possible just no time for it.

Anyone else have the ability to do so? I'd gladly throw a couple hundred bucks your way.

Is there any Forza 5 research at the moment?

Posted: **Tue Jan 07, 2014 1:41 pm**

Sorry for the shameless pump but I do need some help...

My pc couldn't start Forza Studio, whenever I double clicked on the exe, it prompted "Forza Studio has stopped working"

I have tried everything I googled but still no luck:

1. Icon sized was already at default 100%
2. .NET and XNA Framework already installed

what's making it weirder was that it worked only for the very old version of Forza Studio, but still the same error for whatever versions (4.0/4.1)

I have always wanted to try on putting mods myself but that's just so frustrating to have the issue. thus I am seeking advice here to see if it'd get any better.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Not yet, Xbox One reverse engineering is still in its infancy and I don't believe anyone has figured out how to extract the file contents from the game archives yet.

As for your problems lkof, can you paste me the stack information from the application errors you should be seeing in your event logs?
