  1. You apply the texture in blender. Texture must be a transparent (or semi transparent) background. After export you will need to change the correct file names in the material files for the chassis(assuming you have them joined to it). Check the tutorial section, it outlines most of this.
  2. They held two events and had poor attendance for both so it was axed. Im sure if Paul Brown Stadium wanted MT's they'd still have them.
  3. If you know how to use blender and assign materials, coupled with the tutorial on the correct set of "code" for the material file it would make sense.
  4. They are apart of the blender chassis model.
  5. Had a little fun this week. Post more when I can, if I can.
  6. I'll get right on it. Expect an email from 404DNE@aol.com . Check your spam folder
  7. Been awhile since the last "email it to me I wont tell" content request. Good to see everyone mixes it up now and then. Keeps it fresh.
  8. Pro tip to avoid ads in games just put your phone/device in airplane mode before launching the app.
  9. Clearly its Brain Barthel. Which explains why the truck had transmission problems in detriot the one year. #facts
  10. Bucket list of safety issues with that event from spectators down to the drivers. Ridiculous that they have obstacles in the shut down area. Ridiculous that in todays world we still have promoters using the silly concrete blocks as a "barricade"
  11. Madusa has been at best mediocre since her return in 2010. Yea she did great things in the past but that excuses nothing of what she has done recently. Also if health has been such a grief then she shouldn't continue to drive. I'd bet big money feld doesn't force her to continue driving, rather leave it to her on if she continues or not.
  12. technically that mongoose screen shot is from a blues brothers movie IIRC. (look in the background)
  13. As someone who did exactly what you are about to do, its tough to do, however very understandable. I wish you luck in your future endeavors.
  14. Some of these guesses' are pretty hilarious.
  15. Its basically fine. However making sure judges are competent MT fans should probably be looked at. There is enough of "us" to make that happen especially at major events. Keeping judging a independent third party is important. Otherwise the questions of bias arise. You wouldn't have nitro Circus members judge a competition that has a nitro circus member in it because if that person did win everybody would claim bias. People also forget that prior to the fan judges there were several botches of winners with the "pros". No way is perfect but if you wanted a legitimate freestyle score system you need basic judging criteria for a run. Not just what did you think but something that lets judges know what they are looking for(think x games). Judge 1: Momentum 1-10, Are you Jim Jack or John Force? Judge 2: Number of hits, You hit a lot of obstacles or very little 1-10 Judge 3: Quality of hits, are you rolling jumps or blasting them? Landing on downramp or just pointing and shooting? 1-10 Judge 4: Difficulty of run. Real saves, backflips, execution of run, variety of hits, usage of floor. 1-10 Judge 5(tie breaker): Fan appeal. Fans into the run or asleep? 1-10 Bonus 1-5 (as it currently is) If full time is not filled (regulation and bonus) 1 point is deducted from all scores. Second tie breaker- Average of scores. Higher average wins. usage of half points are allowed. Requires competent judges. No first time MJ attendees, no kids.
  16. Longer exposure time on the picture. Allows more light in so you see more of the underlying graphics.
  17. 16 truck field where Feld and independent trucks have the opportunity to qualify into a racing bracket. Top 16 race for a large money purse (ie nascar style). Loser bracket created with the rest of the trucks with appearance pay. ( wont ever happen, needs a large corporate sponsor to event have any shot at this)
  18. wasn't hotwheels a new build in 2014? They switched the PEI chassis out a few weeks into the year and then used it as Northern Nightmare at vegas IIRC. Not really old in comparison to the others you listed.
