[Schwoni]

Unfortunately there is a bug in the engine. The fix to have visible dynamic groove will be integrated in the next release.

[Schwoni]

ok thx

[Aritz]

Thanks

Any estimated data for the release?

The bump channel "effect" is amazing. Can we use it on grass, sands, concretes, kerbs and fences with no big FPS loose?

Bump can be applied to any texture. Performance impact is not low, though, so shaders must be used carefully.

I am confused with shininess adjustment, is lower value more shine?

Shininess should be equivalent to 3dsmax glossiness.

can tack.tga be added for alternative configurations.

for example

No, it's the other way round. A value of 0 gives the highest level of shininess and when increasing the value the "shine" disappears slowly.
You need to test a bit with the values, but for me a range of 3-12 depending on the specular map gives pretty good results.

I am trying to add bump shader on grass and I don't want shininess at all, I want the grass matte, which is the highest acceptable value? Yesterday I tried 20 and it was almost the same as 10

Are you sure? Following Piboso's instructions, I found this and 0 should be no shininess at all:

(look at the right bottom sphere, it is matt)

It is not how layout system works. You have to create a new track route and its centerline on a existing unmodified track. Example:
