Retrolux Previews - Custom Preview Preset for Content Manager

I have adjusted the look of the preview image for all the cars to correct some nitpicks I disliked of the original previews from Kunos.

The original previews from Kunos had a blue ambient light tint that distorted the car colors to much and the contrasts was to soft on some areas, especially the tires.

Adjustments:

• Changed Perspective to show more of the car details
• Angled the front tires a bit to give it a more dynamic feel
• Added extra lights...

Yes it is the Lotus 98T with the number 19 skin. Its stock from kunos.

ohh yes you should absolutely check out all the other cars. Each car has their own character in assetto corsa. I love the vintage cars that are more difficult to handle. But once mastered they are really enjoyable to drive.

Great job on the settings, it's looking nice!

You could add in your description, you can batch all the cars maintaining shift to select different cars with Content Manager

Caterham Approved!

@kunos if you are listening, previews are much more dynamic and better looking that way!

v1.0 was absolutely gorgeous, but it was terribly slow. I couldn't stand the thought of doing the 577 cars I currently have in my AC garage - even if each car only had one or two skins.

v1.1 has retained all of the quality, but now @Retrolux has optimized the Preset - processing time is drastically reduced. I'd say v1.1 is ten times faster than v1.0. I will post two screenshots of my Ferrari 288 GTO below. The first will be shot with v1.0 and the second with be shot with v1.1...
Version 1.0

Good point, especially when you just want to update specific cars you just have added to asseto corsa . (Description is now updated)

BTW: The Caterham is in my library . Nice work on it mate.@

@ALB123: Thanks for making a comparison between 1.0 and 1.1. The main slowdown was caused by to many iterations for the AA/DOF that was not really required after some testing.

Ginetta and future cars of mine will be testing after my race tonight

 

[ALB123]

No problem, @Retrolux. Thank you for making such a beautiful preview preset.

 

[Rainmaker_87]

I changed all my previews now. It looks so much better. Try the Sesto Elemento! It looks awesome.

Hey is it possible to have a reflective ground with your preset?

 

[Retrolux]

Hey is it possible to have a reflective ground with your preset?

Sorry but that is not possible since it is based on the original scene from kunos. Reflective ground is only possible when disabling the scene and using the one from the content manager. But then you loose the nice reflectors/lights modeled in the scene. Recreating them with Plane lights does not look as good due to that the reflections of those lights go into the specular pipeline of the shader instead of the one for reflections. (no Fresnel reflections etc.)

If it is still too slow for you, disable DOF, speed rocketed up from about 35 skins per minute to 100+ skins per minute

I would not recommend it though since aliasing is apparent then, especially for fine Details.

 

[Ben O'Bro]

Kunos forgot to put glass material on the escort ? XD

 

[Retrolux]

Damn I dont even noticed that.
Either it has not the right reflection values set on the material or it is really missing. Need to check this later

 

[Vipla_Dare]

It's the same with Panamera, strange from Kunos indeed

 

[Retrolux]

Ok it looks like the ford is not properly setup for two sided windshields. From the inside it looks right.

The panamera does not receive reflections and is only visible when specular highlights hit the glass. I guess errors happen even in some of the official content from kunus
