The "What Are You Working On?" Thread

Done with exterior details, happy with the overall shape of things, so next it's the cockpit detailing and one final pass to smooth out some edges or add small details here and there.

Keeping it 60's all the way

A preview of what's behind the hood, mostly simple "filler" geometry, to avoid having blank spots through the vents and suspension arches.

What stunning high tech... those plate springs must come directly from a 50ies Deutz tractor. No wonder Mitter later used Lotus cars for his engines.

OMG, just noticed it's FWD with a transverse leaf spring/solid axle rear? This thing is gonna be insane.

Yeah, front wheel drive, like the dkw car engine and gearbox are coming from. Other builders like Melkus used a chain as transmission to the rear axle.

Lots of fun is waiting on bumpy tracks and ones with jumps like the Nord or Sebring...

Yes it's FWD, yes it's 2-Stroke, yes it's made out of tractor parts, yes it's going to be a blast to drive

It drives a bit better than the front wheel may lead you to believe....

Nice looking machine apart from that submarine cockpit So long, makes you wonder what they've got under it...

From the Rear looks like a R18?

It does, but it's the Perrinn.

The underside and rear of LMPs are pretty specifically regulated so they all look the same, it's just the curves joining the fenders (between left/right and front/rear) where they really have much input.

Just wanted to drop by to thank you modders + to say that due to your enthusiasm and dedication games like AC live on for way longer, and become more popular than the vanilla version was ever meant for.

For a developer it's a major plus point to open up your franchise to the community like this, seeing all the talent that is out there who are adding value to your game so people get more enticed to play it. Imagine how games like AC or AMS would be without people like yourself currently. Cheers guys I wish I could buy you all a beer but then I wouldn't have much left for myself!

Another video about Mitter and his cars, showing details under the hood, framework(taken from a dkw station wagon) and parts of the cockpits interior of the formel junior

@Kasti thank you very much for the info, it is really useful for this project

 

[mclarenf1papa]

Much better. Thanks to @Stereo for doing the driver animations in a pinch.

It was a pleasure to me.

I think you and all the modders making AC a great fun to play, by adding so many awesome tracks, cars, skins, apps and other usefull things, deserve the help of everybody who has additional datas, tech info, pictures or just simple things like a link.

Big thanks for your work from me to you and all the modders! Keep on rocking AC!

Much better. Thanks to @Stereo for doing the driver animations in a pinch.

It's got transparent windows...and a driver > hell yeah!

@Stereo FTW!

For those who noticed the windscreen distortion and missing headlights or are otherwise just happy about a quick render:

Would hate to be the amateur who set up those wheel, wheelhub and wheel barrel emtpies. Oh wait

 

[stingray_SIX_TWO]

Love that driving position - if you can call it that



The original seat had 100.000+ tris so I rebuilt it and got it down to 2.000 - we do need a seat afterall.







Will need more details around the corners but I'm pretty sure it won't be 100.000 details.

 

[AccAkut]

That looks excellent, also nice to see another Blender warrior.

I haven't gotten to any mod work recently due to reasons

 

[stingray_SIX_TWO]

Since the car didn't have any headlights and the assembly is due to be replaced by a new design some time soon I took the freedom of giving it some eyes of my own creation. Will fill them up with some LED diamonds and call it a day as it will be replaced by another design later anyway. For now a reasonably stylish WIP .
