New Textures for some Karts

[Funto]

Lighting is independent of the texture, and indeed, having a correct lighting model (or even lighting at all) is definitely THE next thing to do to make STK more eye-candy, IMO.
Are there lights put in the tracks by artists, or something similar? A first step could be to add a general, constant directional light for the karts...
That would really help make the karts and tracks less dull.

Funto, there already is constant directional lights.

Apart from that, we support lightmaps

Hi everyone !
Thanks you for your feedbacks

I have not the time to modify it this week-end. Next week I'll work on it, to remove stickers.

@Auria
I like also the alternative tux kart, but I like much the Tux mascot of this Kart.
The stickers was just an experiment.
It's just a proposal. I don't want to be in competition with Alternative Tux, because I'll certainly lose the challenge (I'm not enough good at 3D modelling).

I have also seen the fraang's work on a new Tux Kart model. For the moment it looks very well

I have removed the stickers. o here is the new texture file
What do you think of it?

front of Tux Kart

backside of Tux Kart

If you want to try it, simply replace the tuxkart.png file in data/karts/tux by this one.

I like it

[Auria]

the transition between the top and the front isn't too natural. though apart from that I think it overall looks good

[S@f]

the transition between the top and the front isn't too natural.

That's right, I didn't pay attention to this... but I can maybe do something

Underside is better.

But I don't like the Tux name on the two sides and the GNULinux sticker on the spoiler. It always gives me not want to play Tux.

I think that rather than strive to improve the texture, someone would have to rework the 3D model first.
Don't you want to try ?

I worked again on Tux Kart texture. This time I tried to make a more Suzanne like texture and I removed all the stickers. Here are some screenshots :

What do you think of it?

You can try it yourself by downloading the texture file :
