Cars Skip Barber WIP

[Daniel Jimenez]

The ones the game engine uses (SUSP_LF WHEEL_LF etc.) should be in all the LODs but don't need to have objects as children (eg. LOD D should be 1 mesh, not separate wheels).

Got it! thanks a lot, for your help.

 

[Daniel Jimenez]

it looks like AC got a new cool modder, welcome aboard Daniel!

Thank you

I forgot to activate the subsurf before exporting, but it loks like this:

Personally I'd be looking to collapse any subsurf stuff early on in the project and manually clean up any excess loops etc - and add more where necessary (as Lilski mentioned its probably still a little low on sides for the outer part of that exhaust).
Think about when you're racing nose to tail - that is going to be right in the face of the car behind.

You also end up with unclean normals around sharper edges like this. If it was me I'd want to go over all edges and clean it up a bit.

Here is an example of how I would do it to get a tidier result:

Done it! thanks for the feedback and help.. polygons at your service sr!

 

[Daniel Jimenez]

I don't have very good judgement right now because I'm tired, but I could maybe take a knack at it.

The work will be pretty shitty because A: I can't use a lot of time and B: I don't know a lot about cars like this, but I know all the basics well enough. Made a lot of high quality roadcars. I'll use like a week just to get it up to speed and have a base for someone to work from, but it won't be accurate that I can guarantee. I don't have iRacing so I can't really use that as a reference either.

If you're interested PM me. Just know I probably won't stick onboard to bring it to real accuracy. Just make it good.

Hey! sounds good, we need help with physics... I tried to write you but... Can't figure out how... or it seems that Im too new here for sending private messages :/.. anyway, can you PM me? wellcome a board!

Data dimensions as close as possible

 

[Luis Mercury]

excellent initiative.
let's go

 

[Kyuubeey]

I've long since reworked that geometry, and the aero too is in the works.

Aero is honestly a guess, and geometry won't be super accurate, but it's adding up.

I think I'll also need to make a little bit of a custom ST tire to get the correct cornering forces. Seems to not be quite the grip of 100% summer track tires, but more than your low end grooved allround tire.

 

[bsmooth]

Probably of little help, but I had quite a few races in iRacing and a few at Laguna Seca, and the grip actually looks to be about right from what I can see in the video, but thats only looking at it.
I suppose driving with force feedback would tell you a lot more.

Considering the old car's on F3 slicks, with probably too much aero, and we're not doing the slick version: yeah, nah. Not even close. Not even in the same postcode, nor the same continent.

This looks beautiful, great job Kyuubeey!

Latest WIP video, actually number 04. Thanks to @Kyuubeey for the amazing Job with physics, even knowing he is still working on it, it behaves closer to the real life counterpart.

 

[Jordan Dion]

Hey where are the female driver?

Hey where are the female driver?

are you talking... here or in game?

 

[LilSki]

Maybe trying to make a joke about the lack of a pink livery?

 

[Jordan Dion]

Ok i suck in joke sorry

 

[Daniel Jimenez]

Ok i suck in joke sorry

haha sorry I killed the joke, dont worry... theres a LOT of new liveries that will be released in the first Alpha version, kind of surprise but Ill show 3 new.. included a Pink one.

 

[Angel re re]

When will the first pubic version of the car be avaible?

May be a Couple weeks, but Im not Sean Murray so I will do it when we are happy with the car
