The "What Are You Working On?" Thread

[Modek]

wow you modelled the tires in 3D lol ?
Bake a texture man using XNORMAL

yes i did becuase i though it was like this ..... i know they have not purpose now

Car should be around the 130k ish

Thought you leaving them there , gonna say , I bet there a few poly

Apparently having 4 independent electric motors requires a lot of cooling pipes and power cabling
If anyone has any tips for animating flexible wires, I'm all ears - I've got 5 per corner!

Not far off now, just a few more details to model, almost everything is already unwrapped just to need to organise the textures. Been given a provisional thumbs up for a public release which is cool

that looks insane! All that detail.. about the animated wires...does the car even move that much that it warrants animating those? Are you paid enough for this? It is possible but apparently really time consuming to set up in the KS Editor and is not saved in the Persistence file, so you should do it as the very last task

You know you're on to something unique if even AccAkut says "that looks insane! All that detail." The first time I saw the post, I thought it was a new project by @AccAkut as I know he likes to push the envelope too. You guys are incredible. I can picture @A3DR twitching right now... "Not....E....fficient...." So much amazing work coming from everyone in this thread.

@Modek
You're going overboard with all that underbody detail, but that only makes me want to flip the car
I also like to go crazy, especially when it comes to pipework

wow whats that

Do yourself a favor, model something with straight pipes... saves so much polies

@mantasisg might not agree but also stick to 4cyls and rotaries, that way you have much fewer pipes, ignition wires etc.

These engine models..........soon as i start to think im doing something nice you guys come up

Details yes, accuracy... is not my strength I managed to start on the very first faces of the Lotus interior today, which I have hardly any usable photos of. And I need to got to bed gddmt

Allow- me to enter in this 3d rivets and engines party I'm all in for the 3d rivets and bolts

You know, I'm supposed to not be showing this things but damn, it's so cool to see lots of good and detailed models here that makes me want to throw my 2 cents even if it's not on par with the quality yet
* Ofc still early wip and that engine block/gearbox will hit me hard in the face when the time comes.

I think I have managed to finalise the layout for my Feldbergring circuit. I have about as much info on this track as I did for Thomson Road (i.e. not much). There is no Lidar for this part of Germany (just outside Frankfurt), no StreetView either (?!) so I have had to work off 90m SRTM data, WW2 topographic maps and Google Earth.

I think it is going to be a pretty exciting track though, both for racing and hotlapping

Man we really need some 1950s F1 cars...

 

[AccAkut]

@soverlands I have not the slightest idea what I'm looking at there. Is it something Group B?

 

[AlleyViper]

@AccAkut Group 5 Lancia Beta Montecarlo Turbo. Something akin to a track focused predecessor of the later and better known Group B Rally 037 (both silhouettes of the Lancia Montecarlo).

 

[Kasti]

The good old Lancia Beta... is his "wonderfull" realiability also included? When this one was racing, i remember well, bets were made in which lap it´s gonna blow up... A cool car, but sadly it was a little bit fragile.

 

[stingray_SIX_TWO]

It's like the 80s Maseratis. I talked to one guy yesterday who told me he bought a 1984 Maserati in 1986 and had to do a frame off restauration...in 1987.

 

[Kasti]

Also Schotten I have Feldbergring, Clermont-Ferrand, Battenbergring, Deutchlandring and Schotten all in-game (in various stages of development). I think I have a slight problem with tracks that are built into the landscape

Found another one in belgium: Chimay home of the "Grand Prix des Frontieres"
A fast, raw 10,45 km road course with parts through villages and a curve called "Le bouchere" closed 1972.

This makes for fascinating reading, if you have an interest in old European circuits:

Way too much of this 3d stuff in here

 

[Alman]

The last pages are 3D models porn!

 

[Rigel]

Agree

 

[Modek]

Ok should be good enough

just need to make the linkage bettwen the disks and the arms ..and some front suspension litle things
