The "What Are You Working On?" Thread

[Sven Smits]

Working on a fantasy skin for the new RSS Hybride 2020 mod.

 

[Stereo]

I only gave myself one New Year's resolution this year and I figured I should get a start on it.
Make solid front axle suspension happen in CSP.

I don't work well with mismatched physics and model so once the first concrete step was done (CSP supports new suspension modes, although the only extant one is a solid kart style) the next step was build something with a solid axle. It started out ambitious ("I should do a 32 ford roadster", "what about a tractor") but ultimately I do not know what will happen, so I wanted to spend 2-3 days on the model and be not very put out if the physics never happens. The choice became obvious.

The 1979 Ford F150 Ranger 4x4, single cab short bed, driven by Flea in Back to the Future II.

Aside from what I've already done (shorten + lift truck, new front suspension, aftermarket wheels) it has a police pushbar, 10 offroad lights (8 on roll hoop, 2 on pushbar), and the '79 grille. It would definitely be nice to give it some A/T tire texture but I don't especially enjoy making those so meh.

As you can see the first export had a small empty problem but that's been corrected.

Since you are talking Monster Energy, did you see Valentino Rossi's Ferrari 488 GT3 paintjob for the Abu Dhabi 12 hours? *wink wink*

ohhh, didn't know this was still going, I'd love to have a legit SMSP for AC. It's the track of WTAC after all.

Love that grandstand, really well done from what i see. Is the roundness of the seats in the mesh or is it a AT texture?

Thanks, its just an AT texture and some solid colours (will get a normal on there)...mesh would be a bit overkill? Or maybe not after doing the tyres...

So the final race of this league I want to use it for will be in late April or early May depending on how things go, so It'll be released around then in some form...how complete it'll be at that stage is still a bit up in the air, but it should be reasonably solid...also planning to run there in real life again at the end of April aswell (to get that 1:47 I didnt get by 0.04 last October...damn tyre pressures )

 

[NightEye87]

Been chipping away at the main pit, GS and infield office for SMSP when I can, including the silly seat colour "pattern" if you could even call it that...recently finished up the tyre walls around the track too......can't remember the exact number of bundles, but it was definitely over 9000...

That pattern looks so random Makes me want to do some work on Assen, but at the same time makes me cry to even think about doing that.


Looking good, though! Don't forget the bracing, it has no stability right now
Just visible on the top left. It might (should, really) also be present in between the columns, but it's so hard to find reference images quickly.

Yeah, theres still a few elements to get up there, crossbracing is only between the girders at the ends, but the roof battens are still missing at the moment too...I've got plenty of photo reference lol...advantage of doing supersprints is you can wander all through and over the pitlane building and take happy snaps with noone in the way...just need to fit it in between running back to the car for the next session

And yes, do more Assen

Cars are done. Decided to also make an alternative version of the Volkswagen Motorsport F1 car.

#10 R-Line version

#11 GTI version

Next up. Helmets and Suits!

Maybe you could incorporate the new VW logo and new R logo. And the claim 'Das Auto.' isn't used anymore.

Continued the wheel a bit. I've opted to not go for any smoothing and just fill geometry in manually. Still looks a bit ugly due to of course being un-welded.

Also been remodeling a large part of the 106 interior for the past few days to give Daniel a break. It's a hell of a job, but it's worth it in the end. I've learned a shitton up to now.

Thank you formulaHEINE for the input. I would like to know what you think of the new VW logo and the 'R'

 

[Kyuubeey]

Did this a bit more. Turns out I kind of need to use edge split if I want it to look at all right. Now just to correct the wrong forms.

EDIT: Next to Rallye wheel for comparison. Pretty slapdashed and scaled up because the whole thing was a bit too small. Lip is bigger than I expect.

 

[Daniel Watkin]

It's always so nerve wracking posting wireframes for you guys . Though probably best to get it out of the way. Still in need of substantial optimisation and cleaning up, but getting there.

 

[Kyuubeey]

Took a good look and treated it like a 2D drawing, and found some obvious flaws to fix. Now it's getting a bit more away from the Mercedes profile and into the correct one.

 

[Tomo Pattison]

Today I've been making some skins for a pack I'm going to release on here.

Don't ask. Lmao.

 

[Stereo]

Solid progress on the axle thing
- hubs attached directly to chassis by pivots
- red lines just show where the hubs actually are
- white line is a tie rod connecting the 2 hubs
- yellow line is the only steering link
Now I need to add more physics objects (ie. the solid axle) and springs/dampers so it's actually a beam axle.

Although as it stands it's already a serviceable gokart suspension...

 

[giuzzze___]

gonna do this beauty..but in game...

 

[aphidgod]

In game the wheels are spaced using the values in suspensions.ini, so first step is to have a look there and make sure wheelbase and front & rear track are correct.

 

[Kyuubeey]

You will also need to adjust graphics offset in car.ini. Also make sure that the CoG and so on are correct.

 

[giuzzze___]

thank you so much aphi, i will see if something change.
