Cars Formula RSS 2 by Race Sim Studio

Sorry can not sleep , Too excited ,

So Anyways ,
I now find myself in a position ,
Where I have a picture of my rocker I require , But at an angle ,
But have Data ect ,
So lets use my knowledge and build something cool from nothing ,
With a little software and know how ..

So here is my missing rocker .

Step A ,
Lets get a 3D front view of what we are needing to create .

Now we have this 3D representation of our part ,
I will add 4 more parts ,
So inside Photoshop CS6 3D ,
I have something to draw to in Step B .

Step B
Here you can see highlighted in pink ,
The 4 more Hard Surfaces I added by creating 4 cylinders ,
To start my template
Ill show together and the second image on its own so you can see what I was needing for CS6 .

2D Template I created .

3D Part I extruded from my 2D Drawing I made in the previous steps .

Now I will export this part I created in photoshop and import it into 3DS Max .
Go to 3D , In CS6 ,
And just click on export 3D Layer ,
I prefer to obviously change my settings to MM to pixels , And export as .obj .

Now inside 3DS Max Now I have a full 3D Hard Surface model of my rocker ,

Not bad for a days work this morning I had nothing here ,
Now its almost completed ,
Tomorrow will try and finish this front suspension task :)

This technique not always something I use to make things , But understand how to do it ,
So simply thought I would show you guys something cool ,
And the lengths of details we pride ourselves on ,
The Koni shock I stole from the rear will make the new damper for the front tomorrow :)
 
Made the front dampers ,
Just needs UV Mapping ,
And added a few bolts whatever ,
Need to make the rocker again now in low optimized poly and do those UV :)

Really complex suspension with all these rockers and parts ,
But once animated should look sweet

I Finished my rocker finally low poly compared to my CS6 3D Template I created ,
Although its still 410 Tri ,
Which still to me seems a little high ,
The quality to me is just fine , if I start rounding anything anymore , will end up maybe like 2k of rockers Like the rear I think :D God knows but they look sweet ...

I am now wondering if @chargingcar is human..:O_o:
Hi Man ,
Last car we made I loved making , really enjoyed it ,
Was exciting reading the manuals and building it with our team ,
But this video inspired me even more ,
Awesome review by this guy ,

This next car will make the formula hybrid look silly :D
I love building all this stuff ...

Ive been scratching my head 2-3 days ,
I am happy so far with my suspension ,
But want to make all the steering column and peddles ,
Will look into it some more later on :D:D
 
Making some solid progress ,
A Lot as happened over the last 48hrs or so ,
I think same again and we will really start to see some progress , Monday , tuesday next week ,
Things will really start taking shape nicely ,
A lot of settings in last 3-4 days ,
But looking like a solid build in less than 3 weeks work :)

Should be ingame in next 2 weeks , to get it finished :)
 
I just got he RSS "1" last week and missed the progress of it. I can't believe I've done over 2000km in it already.

But seen this model being created is amazing and I already want to purchase it. :)

Says the guy who usually doesn't like to drive the open wheelers.
 
Ooh, I love a good wheel upright :thumbsup:
More work that what it seemed to be ,
But added all the details I had from all my data and resources ,
These uprights had to create my own templates , Hardest area of all that as silly as it sounds ,
Was the air intake ducts ,
I had about 3-4 amazing high res pictures , but all from exact same angles ,
But tried my best with what I have :)

Do you prefer licensed hardware?

  • Yes for me it is vital

  • Yes, but only if it's a manufacturer I like

  • Yes, but only if the price is right

  • No, a generic wheel is fine

  • No, I would be ok with a replica
