The "What Are You Working On?" Thread

[Pessio]

Started fiddling with Blender 2.8 finally. I still don't feel at home, but wow, the new realtime render is awesome!

Yes, 2.8x is truly amazing, feels like 3.x And yes Eevee is really impressive. Feels like game engine in real time with perfect performance. Meanwhile I was working with cycles renderer a lot lately, I have made some XJ13 renders at Goodwood, but everyone is sick of me plugging that car here already

To me Blender 2.8 is really inspiring.

No such thing as too many XJ13 renders. There's always time to look at the sexiest car ever made.

Guys, what plugin do you use to import/export fbx properly with Blender?
Appreciate it.

Built in fbx exporter.
Obviously you have to turn on bake animation if you want to export an animation, should be off otherwise.

Thank you!

not true, go on already!

Then again, you could always plug some renders of your W125!
Garys fabulous Typ C is currently not only plagued by an incompetent driver (me) but also constantly being overtaken, because in lack of a worthy opponent, I have to put it against those pesky modern, sophisticated, and overengineered cars ...like the Maserati 250F

@gecco Yes getting inspired by making nice renders is quite a boost for improving some models, W125 could use some improvements here and there and I would like to create some kool renders with it. As well the same goes with few other cars that I have started on, but never progressed.

Speaking of W125, I had released it for quite a while at ACM website. It is similar pace as Type C, at least it was so in some tests I have made, but perhaps just a little faster though. It should actually depend on track.

After the few pictures of the Renault R.S.20 were published, I created this:

I think the real Livery will be seen in Barcelona next week. That's why I don't know if I'm going to upload this

Started working on the beautiful Chevron B16 after a little break. Made the wheels and now I'm creating empties and little groups from the little parts. Day x progress:

 

[1234G]

Played a bit with Blender 2.8's material settings and made the first rendered picture about it.

I modelled it with Blender 2.79, and now I saved it's materials and it doesn't want to work in the 2.79. Can you help me somehow, or I totally screwed it up?

I also switched to 2.81 recently and I'm having teething problems generating an AO map in Cycles. Not sure why one rear quarter is perfectly fine and the rest seems to have randomly selected which triangle to draw where.

[edit] cycles will do this unless every material on each object has a bake texture target. Apparently not considered a bug.

 

[jonelsorel]

Works the same for me in 2.8.1 too. 2.8.2 out.

 

[Stereo]

Finished sealing the last couple holes in the body geometry (marked one with a white triangle, other not visible from this angle but other end of the door's interior) Unwrapped and baked, need to run some test patterns but it's not that complicated a shape so should be good.

Always more to do, cockpit needs a floor and a windshield (non-symmetrical of course)

Day x+1:
I began the roof, made the glass materials better, and fixed some little things.
Day x+1 progress:

Apparently, you can cut and paste between the two versions - select all your objects in 2.8 and press Ctrl-C, open 2.79 and press Ctrl-V, just tried it and it seems to mess up materials (not surprising really) but the model itself pasted across.

thank you very much!
