Cars The Need For Speed

It's a 180 degree V12, if you want to get pedantic, rather than a boxer 12. (Difference being the crank pin arrangement.) 'Flat' is correct either way, I guess.

You just wrote the definition of a flat engine here, which differs from a boxer because of a cranckpin arrangment

Sounds interesting, thanks for explaining. I'll look into this one

As i can finally get back to some full time modding, here is a little sneak peak for the Diablo sound i worked on a long time ago updated for this new pearl of a mod The exterior already sounds really awesome and on point to my ears. So if i can also get the interior sound to work out properly i will let A3D implement them into his official release of the car.

On another note i will also be updating the Honda Prelude sound for the latest version as it got broken some time ago with the AC updates and all that. Its long overdue i suppose.

This sounds just about right, but at those low rpm there is that static ringing noise, anyway to fix that?

The static is the video, I don't know why it does that sometimes. I'm still fiddling how much low drone vs higher pitched sound the car will produce though haha. They all seem to sound a tad different in exhaust note

It was 'only' a Testarossa (1984) afterall:

Loving that dust

I know I'm late but still maybe helpful when you deal with some details. I've got a ton of shots just like this from a complete walk around.

 

[A3DR]

That's amazing! great shots, I'm REALLY tempted to do the '84 after seeing these pics.... argghhhh it never stops! like I don't have enough cars to do already and on top of that I've started to watch Miami Vice from season one...

Any chance you can upload all the pics on a single file to WeTransfer? or I can accommodate you a folder in my google drive. I can't let this opportunity pass thank you so much for taking the time in sharing these pics!

 

[stingray_SIX_TWO]

I'll send you a link. Please let me know which areas are of special interest because I'll have another go on Friday .

 

[stingray_SIX_TWO]

This shot was actually done with diverted flashlight .

A bit art deco style fits the car me thinks.

Spam mode *off.

Thanks man, seeing your pics reminded me of this... seen it on the Porsche 993 as well, not sure what it is or supposed to do:

Yep, while modeling the gated shifter I was thinking about that, shame we don't have anyone to do sounds.

Wrapping up for today, that center console took around 10k, and I didn't go crazy on it...!

That car was far ahead of its time. You're looking at the 512TR's Network Attached Storage (NAS). Those are hot-swappable HDDs. You got NoS? We got NAS! I would have never guessed those were actually cassette holders. Wow.

Are those tailpipes shaking?? That's awesome. I never noticed that before.

I just started re-watching Miami Vice as well. By far my favorite TV show ever. That would be beyond awesome if you put out a 1984 Testarossa someday.

Someday, I hope you decide to do a timelapse video of yourself modelling a vehicle...the various stages edited together to see the final product. I'm so glad there are several other people following the thread who appreciate the beauty of a 3D mesh as much as I do.

Did you record that sound off of a real one?

 

[A3DR]

Ok, to many quotes needed here

Actually they do look like HDD's, they even seem to have a led?

Yes indeed, almost every car I've made has that feature

By having such a good base already, I can't just let it go. I will do it, but can't say exactly when.

Actually that's something I've had on the back of my head for a while. I suck at video editing or whatever that's needed to do that. I might get on it someday, see what happens.

Back to business... all WIP, but still some shaders already look decent and it's a nice change from the white-wireframe thing

Wow. 1st pic I thought was a real picture.*
And it was the licence plate (Edit: in the 2nd pic) that make me look twice to see it's in-game graphics.

I think that speaks for itself in term of the 3D model quality.

*maybe because your comment 'By having such a good base already, I can't just let it go' I was thrown for a moment, ofcourse full size it's different, but on the forum width image you really need to look closely

On that note, I was talking about the '84 Testarossa

One tricky bit is to get the interior color to look right on different lighting situations when is not black

Can someone help me find my yaw?

When I started reading your post, I thought those were actually photos...

I'm sure that the super shiny shifter ball sold me out

Leather toning on this is tricky. I already saw that during research for the Daytona. I always thought there were two tan leather options one dark and one light/bright one but it turns out these three are all the same (!) interior:

These two shots are of the same car, taken outside in the shade and one in direct sunlight/shade:

This one is a different car, in direct sunlight, same mileage and interior color code:

I've seen multiple 512TRs live and all but two had this tan interior, it always looked like the latter picture kind of a very light yellowish tan color, not brown and not beige. Maybe aim for the color tone on the door panel in sunlight.

Oh and all TRs had green tint in the windows (very light) that in combination with the slightly darker toned headliner might have an effect on the shades of the interior.

 

[stingray_SIX_TWO]

Certainly black and red interiors are less of an issue .

Yeah I'll have to spend some extra time there to get it right. I didn't find any pics with a different color combo (tan/black or full black) and there are two shades of that tan available, as well as other colors... but couldn't find any real pics, only color codes.

In the meantime....

Soooo sexy. I can smell the release of what has to be one of the best Mod-Packs ever Is there an ETA?
