Stock Car Extreme Mods (merged)

[ML2166]

Hey guys

Okay here are the skins created by me over the last few weeks.

38 in total, 19 Chevrolet and 19 Peugeot.

All completely fictional of course, but I hope you enjoy them.

I have given all the cars different numbers and names from the originals in game, so you should be able to run them alongside the original skins.

Pretty new to the modding aspect on the rfactor platform, and this is my first attempt.

Haven't found a way to have the game read a new RFM file hence the reason for the new numbers and names.

Hope you enjoy them........happy racing fellas!

It is 3dsmax rendering

I'm not sure if i asked this before or seen your answer, so please tell me, @reuteman: Is this strictly a 3D modelling project or will this be also driveable in GSCE ?

I know it's WIP thread, but still, these renders look too good/detailed for the GSCE engine and I'm not sure if you intend to use these in the game or not. Surely you'll need to lower the fidelity and detail drastically or it will kill the fps...

Can you post an ingame image of a car ?

Jan!
This model has the same number of polygons that the BT44. In fact, I received help from Renato. The engine model is from Reiza, also the tires. Im finishing the cockpit textures, then, ill put this car in game
Greetings!

How about the physics ?
Is it FRetro physics or will it be done by someone else ? Are your cars from the same year as FRetro ? Thanks

 

[hex]

This will be epic!

Well, in 1st place, the phisycs will be the same of the retro cars. My focus is 75-76 cars. In the future, I will use other platforms, such as rf2, in fact, I have modeled my own engine and my own tyres...But this project was born to accompany the retro cars.
Recently, an old friend is helping me with the skins (chiefwiggum, we work togheter in the f1 71 conversion from f1ch to rfactor). As always i said, any help is welcome. I'm a lover of these cars.

I was thinking about the amount of polygons ....
So I opened my 3ds max and checked:
My model has even 300 polygons less than the original Brabham BT44 Reiza Model.
So... I have 300 polys to improve !!!!

Wow, their render must look even more impressive then...and your is already pretty amazing looking.

hey hey! We (slimjim and me) also did the work

i'm also talking with slimjim (today is his birthday), but his head is in other cars (by the moment...)

 

[roby13]

Yeah reuteman, i'm sory, i knew all about u and slimjim but i thought chiefwiggum has retired from the "sport". Looks like a reunion of the team could be under way? Well actually theres one missing, wolferl
Ps: happy birthday to slimjim!

 

[roby13]

I think thats due to poor normals optimization

 

[PATR10T]

just drop the reiza gfx into the hardwareshaders folder like on 3dsimed?


edit: ok not that easy -.- everywhere i read about the 3dsmax2010 and the gmt plugin... a lot things i can find are very old with dead links... also i have downloaded 3dsmax2014 but cant find anything about importing gmt there -.-

 

[Patrick Giranthon]

Yes.
I think GMT importer will not run with 2014 version. 2010 needed

 

[PATR10T]

2010 isnt available anymore you can get a legal copy just with 2014, 2015 and 2016

ok then i have to use a old shader for the grass stuff -.-

 

[Alex Sawczuk]

more likely to be a mipmapping issue. try looking at how things look with less than max texture detail

 

[Dave R]

Will this mod be free? Will we need to sign up for a premium account at sim racing oz to get it ?

 

[Simon Gardner]

Free of charge according to first post

Isn't chief still connected with 1985 mod for rF1? Last time I checked he released league edition and some skins.

Copenhagen Apex is fiddling with a new skin for the GSC Touring car Championship.
Very early stage.
