Can somebody help me with my ruts? I'm talking about the kind u lay down with the special paint brush from the c4 detonater kit on the RGB map. No matter what I do I can't figure out how to make the rut appear in game. I've tried the instructions from the c4 kit but I guess I'm not understanding or missing something. Also looked at some YouTube vids but still can't figure it out. I've tried making them directly on the red layer. I've tried them on the main track path witch turned out ridiculous. I've tried making them their own layer on the RGB. Can't figure it out and driving me crazy. Seems like it should b the simplest part   Thanks in advance for any help

i guess you want these "fake" ruts to appear(only visual). There are two decent ways i know how to do them:

First: Bump models

Second: take the rut brush and bump textures with different hights so the rut texture has a lower "bump" to it. Its the blue or red channel in the bumpmap controling the hight..

Ok thanks bro. Love your tracks btw. Yah I guess it's "fake ruts" I'm talking about or tractor marks or whatever u choose... no what I'm saying? Ok yah I guess I missed the part where u add them to the bump model. So far I did the height map and RGB and added some textures in DE and some bales. Haven't messed with bump models yet I thought the ruts were added in the RGB. I also have some damn floating bales so now I need to figure out how to find and delete them in DE

No problem.. If you want to get into bump models: here's a kinda old video from me showing the basics of making them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zL1KVETbSmc
