The "What Are You Working On?" Thread

WIP of more work on my Slea Head track. Trying out 3d islands for the Blasket Isles rather than just flat billboard textures, it adds real feeling of depth to the Dunmore Head area and works better with atmospheric modifiers .

Looking forward to this! Some spot. Went down for the spin last august. Not a tour bus in sight!

I'm curious, how many tris is that grandstand?

how you call that again in English? Scrutineering? Bit of a kitbash from the main pit building, it uses the same elements in real life too

Who let the Haas out? Who, who, who, who, who?

Sorry, I always ask Germans the correct way to say things in English...

Looks good though. Scrutineering is the verb, genuinely not sure if the building for it has a specific name.

ah, it's also simply "Tech Inspection"

found out the truck assets I had from some random xpack were just modified Kunos mesh, so I made my own

pretty cool looking toys

now to some physics and let's drive 'em !

You could say bring you car to scrutineering for scrutineering, but it's never done! Usually one or the the other

Hello, people of the WIP
I'm working on this since a few days, I need to do the outfit for the pilot and the banners for the pit, as well as materials tweaking for the stickers and the paint (it seems way too reflective, I need to lower it a bit)
Very dark, almost black blue on a Ferrari 330 P4, looks way better than red imo

the servers of Racedepartment ffs.. why is it slow ? It's like I'm back in 2005 goddamnit

The day you asked that question, the answer was 15k...
A week later, after hunting them down one by one i'm down to 4ﾠ220.
And it's even more detailled.

Still working on a conversion/re-build of Crystal Palace 69.
I have done a lot of research, but still some things are unclear.
- I believe on the main straight there were no real grandstands in the 60's but the Palace ruins were covered with soil to create a 'natural' grandstand?

Looking forward to this track, good luck.

So here's a little update on what I'm working on right now; it's a kart track in the UK called Bayford Meadows. I've pretty much laid down all of the track and surrounding terrain, I've started to put down tires and now moving on to fences. Lots to add but it's moving forwards.. Kerbs are going to be physical models, lots of flags, lights etc as well as people and other props still to come!

It's looking great in AC with GrassFX doing a lot of the heavy lifting for me.

Really, really looking forward to this one. Will ask a couple of people that were there, but I believe there was seating on the banks, you can just about make it out here:

Though you're right that they just seem to follow the contours of the land, rather than being specifically manufactured that way:

Looks like the seats were added mid 60s though, not much evidence of them in 1961 here:

I think you've cursed me to spend the evening watching late 60s touring car races from Crystal Palace on YouTube now!

If you skip to 6 minutes in here you'll see some shots from within the grandstands... though I advise watching the 6 minutes, it's great racing:

Probably a week spent on this single texture ... the Petit winners.

Work's gone a bit quieter so I thought I'd get back onto Battenbergring, finishing off the village of Holzhausen with revised half-timbered houses and real-life church.

 

[AccAkut]

that looks pretty awesome already. Do you have real old photos or are you sorta eyeballing it?

one thing that may be worth a normal map is that this old type of half framed wall wasn't flush, but the "white" part typically stood out like a centimeter from the wood:

not typically with a bevel like here, but I hope you understand. No idea if it was maybe done differently in the UK.

this is better, from my hometown actually:

 

[gecco]

These "Fachwerkhäuser" as they are called, have been built in either style, but the flush plastering was probably the more common one, at least in places away from the town center.

I also feel that the 'flush' plastering is used more often than not.
I grew up in a part of Germany where these houses are very common.

 

[Fat-Alfie]

All the buildings are generic (although with photo references from nearby villages in the same area of Germany), except for the first church (which has a few photos on the web). I was planning to add a normal map eventually, but I was so excited to be working on AC stuff again that I couldn't wait to post

So am I, seeing you posting previews again!
