It's 100% possible indeed. :)

Oh, that would be awesome. Thanks for all the hard work you're doing to improve this game!

Material Editor. :D It should covers most of the object preset (those aren't really shaders as it is written, but I don't want to overcomplicate everything) and texture; it also supports the animation (but you can't edit it atm; maybe later right now I'll start object export). I'll make a fully complete guide when the object export will be done (I was supposed to do that earlier but I changed quite a lot of UI stuff). ;)

Absolutely blown away at how far tdu1 modding has come over the past view months.

Can't wait to start editing the map. :D

At the moment i have no idea but we can't have this amazing tool sitting here doing nothing. :D

Is there anyone else here that is going to have ago at making some thing.

i can import tracks from many games, and if speeder understand how, i can convert it for tdu1

Material Editor. :D

HOLY!!! Any idea when we can expect the material editor for Beta? :cheeky:

Speeder · March 20, 2015

When it's done. :D

Seriously, it'll be available for the next version with the 3D exporter. I still need to fix some stuff (and also write tutorials :p).

TDUZoqqer · March 20, 2015

Alright, don't rush! :D

@Speeder

Will it be possible to build an own house (or put a TDU stock house anywhere I want) and create an own property?

Speeder · March 25, 2015

Put a TDU stock house anywhere should be possible with the spot file. Creating your own house model since it's too complex compared to the usual world edition. :)

i can import Nordscheleife from AC. can we export it to tdu ?

Speeder · March 25, 2015

Yeah you'll just need generate a low poly mesh of the track to use as a collision mesh if the current model doesn't have one. :)

Thank you man for this and everything you had done for Test Drive Unlimited.. I need to mengle with this at times.. Smooth roads or even new tracks or other stuff would be so cool to have

Here's been a dream of mine.

Import Panau, the island from Just Cause 2, into TDU.

How amazing would that be?

:eek:

Or just make one massive game with all of the islands from large games near each other.

TIMELESS · April 7, 2015

Vice City? :lol:

iLLGT3 · April 7, 2015

Vice City is too small lol

When I said dream in my other post, I literally meant a dream. I had a dream that I was playing TDU on Panau.

Dux · April 7, 2015

Map from Far Cry 2 as an island and islands from Far Cry 3 :3

That would be bloody ubber awesome ^_^

Neddo · April 7, 2015

San Andreas!

Naik Pahek · April 8, 2015

Thing that would be worth making is.. taking the locations from Test Drive Unlimited 2.. polish the roads and put it in Test Drive Unlimited 1..

Then it would be a good idea to do the same with Forza Horizon

CLR-GTR · April 8, 2015

Was already proposed, formats are too different so it won't be a simple conversion, people will need to remake all textures and perhaps meshes too.

Speeder · April 8, 2015

In top of that, converting copyrighted material isn't really legal. :D (unless you could create a tool to convert the files on player's computers?) I slowed down a little bit my work on the editor because of the next update of pp and some technical issues, especially for the multiple UV map system TDU uses... Since .obj doesn't support that features, I was considering swapping to Collada file format... But it ended up being quite messy and buggy as hell (+ it was not compatible at all with 3DS max for some reason and Blender filter was rendering the texture in a weird way :lol:). So in the end, I'll stick with .obj but add some 'stupid' hacks to support the missing features of the format (like creating a mesh for each uv map; it's stupid but I don't really have the choice :p).

I might also add an option to disable that feature, but afaik exporting a scene without the original uv map count will give a pretty poor render (and will most of the time crash, that's why I'm taking time to add this feature :D). :)
