The "What Are You Working On?" Thread

Both front tires are way off where they should be.

I dunno how CM generates those previews so I can't comment.

Oh that's easy. Somehow @Brownninja97 set a value for the wheel turn in cm previews so high that it appears like that. I always set mine to 20 degrees(which i think looks better than pure straight wheels) I don't know how high it goes but it's gotta be at least 60 degrees in those preview pics. To make it straight, click on the tiny arrow next to the "update preview" button in cm. Should be in "misc". If it's not, keep looking until you find it (at work on a mac, so can't help more )

The whole front suspension in his second pick is offset almost two feet to the left; nothing to do with how far the wheel turns in CM IMO.

Goddamn i need to drink a second cup of coffee. It IS way off indeed. (it's 09:50am here, still trying to wake up)

On another note how the bloody hell does this happen

is that the showroom or a geenrated preview? In teh shoqroom you can choose if you want to display the model "pure" or with physics data, maybe you have the latter chosen and not set up correctly yet?

lol if i asked it to use data the wheels would be way off where they should be. Incidentally is there an easy way to get the wheels to line up where they should be or is it always just throwing numbers into the inis and hoping for the best

 

[aphidgod]

The only way to offset them from center like that (that I know of) is in the graphical offset section in suspensions.ini. Otherwise the game spaces them using wheelbase and track, but always centered.

short lowres test bake. Still need to change a lot in the mesh to make it somewhat consistent

Just starting some shaping work, hope I'll be able to finish this one, I'll do my best

Assuming model has wheels at equal distances from the origin I think you can do:

CG_Offset = (50% - weightDist%)*wheelbase(meters)

The sign might be negative, forgot which direction is which in AC...

 

[Stereo]

The offset will be negative when the CG is in front of the axle because positive is forward and the offset is how far you move the mesh from the CG (so it needs to go backward as far as the object origin is backward from the cg). I think the way you wrote it that'll happen naturally (eg. 60% front -> (-10%)*wheelbase = negative offset)

Same as BASEY in suspensions is negative if the axles are below the cg, cause negative is downward.

me: 3dsmax ?

Also me:

that tubeless text ain't right!

Someday i'll post a none-caterham car and you'll be like
Today is not that day.
So take some more! As i finish my 3hours run to make new tyres...

@Brownninja97 @aphidgod @Stereo @SunBro @AccAkut You can go into the CM showroom then click on Wheels-> "align using data" and then the wheels align using data. With that button a whole menu pops up allowing you to change the speed the wheels rotate, change camber and toe, move the wheels in they/z axis.You can change the wheelbase there as well. After you have aligned it as you wanted you press "Update model". This doesn't change data, just updates the car model with which the previews are made

 

[ltcars]

Before messing about:

After: As you can see I changed the y and z axis of the front and the rear suspension, added toe and could have added camber

I want to make this skin for the FXXK. Anyone got the triangular shaped things as an image?

 

[aphidgod]

Ohhhhhhhh shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is this the Acura NSX S1 by Siim Annuk ?

Sure is! Siim was kind enough to make an Acura model for us with the NFS project in mind. I'm working on adjusting the physics for that one + an S1 upgraded version, which is the one shown in the post you're quoting.

I'm doing the Acura version in 1994 spec, here it is in factory colors. (Yes, I know these are the early wheels.)

After that I'll sort out the few tweaks needed @ the Honda car + the R and we should be in business.

I keep seeing awesome project after awesome project... I am so happy I chose to start playing Assetto Corsa.

Man...Those NSXs. Beautiful.
