Cars KRB Audi S1 Silhouette

AccAkut · Jan 22, 2017

Started with Cockpit_LR. Currently contains only steering wheel and two half seats...bit of a shame all this is invisible while driving. While the proportions of my gearbox/clutch enhousing are not 100% true (I mean without F7 view you will never see them), the length is.

edit: gearbox has been adjusted slightly. And saving this for later, may try making a skin replicating this.

I'd call this skin finished. Only size needs optimazation, currently 140 MB for just that skin

next step: LOD(s)

That rear wing looks pretty much the same size as the grandstands on my Singapore track

Looks amazing, and I am so excited about this car

Aero is still not done, but I had a breakthrough with the CAD model so maybe simulated aero is still a possibility.

Step one: apply full downforce on rear spoiler.
Step two: remove downforce on the front.
Step three: go to le mans and take off to the moon !
I double dare I'll try this as soon as you unleash this beast xD

Aero options will be rather limited, you can just remove two of the rear wings (also visibly). Front is fixed, as there just are no adjustable parts on it.

But with full three wings the front wheels were said to lift off the ground at 300km/h

I'm wondering what's going on the driver's head when the front wheels lift off at 300 km/h tho

No pictures but I made two LOD stages. The first gets rid of the high res cockpit and much of the engine and things, simplefief wheels, the second leaves basically only the outer shell in low res form.

Sneak peak with newest, probably final sound from @IMrIMike
(really just me testing OBS, never used it before today)

Mostly physics still in development, seeing how dark the car appears shaders too I guess. But interesting for you to see in motion for once I hope

mantasisg · Feb 12, 2017

I don't think that car appears too dark. I think shaders looks good, only internal mechanical parts looks too bright. Well maybe steering wheels is too dark.

Excellent sounds !

garyjpaterson · Feb 12, 2017

Yeah I agree with Mantas, exterior looks good with decent depth - all mechanical parts look too bright considering they are mostly covered up.

Love seeing it in motion though, all those mechanical bits, moving fans, interior rear springs... just ace. And yeah, sound lovely!

Are you kidding me? I think my bottom jaw dislocated, my mouth was hanging open so wide. I had to re-watch the entire video from start to finish...just to make sure I wasn't missing anything. When I noticed the exposed circuit board on the back side of the MoTeC, I lost it... What a mod.

Fonsecker · Feb 13, 2017

Great car! Can´t wait to drive it. Looks nice, sounds nice! Thumbs up!

Guillaume Francois · Feb 13, 2017

I don't have any words that come to my mind to describe what I saw..
Well I'm pretty sure it will be another mod to bury my social life..
!!! WHO CARES THIS WILL BE A BLAST !!!

thanks man

that backside of the display is just a photo of my old GPU...served me well, deserved it

(a real Racepak is probably closed off with plastic)

Plastic backing removed to save weight.

AccAkut · Feb 18, 2017

added more weight. I again forgot about a rather important bit, the seatbelts. I went down the easy way and repurposed those I made for my Porsche, but with my new knowledge about materials its now one object instead of three. This is the high poly version (simply subsurf) you see only in the showroom, the one on the driver and the non-existing codriver is way less heavy.

For the texturing I found a stupidly simple way to get a nice tiled belt fabric across it without using the Multimap shader. It looks like this:

that small light grey rectangle there on the left is the workspace. I just smart-UVed the seatbelt, then scaled the whole map until one of the vertical belt bits on the right fits somewhat in width across the whole workspace. 256x256 texture now tiles fine across it, without stretching. Looks dumb, but works. What more to ask.
