Tracks KsEditor crashes when importing .fbx

[ladaniva7]

Hello. I'm building a track and i need to have fence somewhere. Now kseditor works with one fence, but if i have more of them, it wont open the file, it just crash on import the fbx. I installed 4gb patch, now it just loading and nothing happens, but it doesnt crash. Please help.
thank you

Usually it crashes if stuff has no material, or if objects have too many vertices. This sounds a bit different and vague.
Could you share the FBX?

here is the folder with fbx and textures

You are using actual geometry for the fences (104k vertices per fence element). This will have a massive impact on loading times and is definately not needed.
A 2D texture with alpha transparency (and if you like, a normal map) will do the job just fine. And it won't crash the ksEditor

Something like this is free to download:

The same goes for your tyres. Use simpler geometry and apply a normal map.

okay thanks for response. now i am new to this. How to make 2d fence and tyres, and what is a normal map? because i just imported 3d objects from the web

A 2D fence is just a simply rectangular polygon. You assign a fence texture (like the one in my link, but the alpha transparency texture must be an alpha channel on the diffuse texture), set the shader inside ksEditor to ksPerPixelAT and you're good to go. If you want you can apply a normal map (see that link again) to make the lighting a bit better. For fences seen from up close this may be nessecary. For fences along a track, I don't think it's worth the effort and resources.

You're free to use and alter my fence texture:

thank you again. I cant get the fence transparent. can you tell me how to do it again i use 3ds max

 

[NightEye87]

Shaders for AC tracks are all defined within the ksEditor. As long as the fence in 3dsmax has a material applied to it you can do anything with it in ksEditor.

 

[ladaniva7]

okay thanks for that info. One more thing. do you need vray for pbr maps?

 

[NightEye87]

Assetto Corsa has its own library of shaders (see inside the ksEditor) and does not use anything from within 3dsmax. Only material name, diffuse texture name and UV coordinates.

It appears you're not aware of the basics. Can I link you to a useful thread?

thank you. I will try this guide. i have one problem i cant solve tho. most of my track surfaces work fine. but there is no grass and one road i made. it seems fine in 3ds max. but i cant see them in kseditor or ac. other surfaces work normally. naming and orientation is the same. idk what the problem.

Your normals might be inverted. See if the objects can be seen from below the ground. If so, flip the normals on those surfaces.

 

[ladaniva7]

no its not seen from below

 

[NightEye87]

Strange. Are you sure they are exported?
If you want, you can send the FBX again and I'll take a look.

 

[ladaniva7]

sure. just a minute

Some stuff is seen from below, so the normals should be flipped
In 3dsmax, if possible, turn on back face culling so it's easier to see which polygons are the right way up.

 

[ladaniva7]

i turned on backface culling. gonna try again now thanks.

everything oriented right in 3ds max. but in kseditor still not. its the same
