Nice try

 

[Brownninja97]

Brownninja, have you started trying to properly replicate cars yet? Anyway. I'm getting this updated to new template, plus redoing helmets, pitcrew and driving suits as I found one image of reference.

Lol of course not, who do you think I am. Semi-fictional is the way to go, you avoid perfectionism, dont lose your mind when you are trying to do an old skin where there is a sponsor you cant recognise. Best of all having poor accuracy means kunos dont apparently "steal" my work. Jokes aside until i properly learn how to skin in 3d there will be inaccuracies and with the allocation of time I have for skinning that will be a while.

To the car in question though, yes this 787b pink pig is 100% the same as the real 787b pink pig.

If skinning was only meticulous replicas it would get boring quite fast. I personally really like interpretations and adaptations. Did you use the translated words, or random japanese words?

------
I dug out an old project and fabricated an exhaust header for it (with Blender Bezier curves, 5 minute job). Rest is all direct Catia CAD conversion. Despite this tris numbers are slightly below 20k for now.

Very Early WIP, but some of you are going to enjoy this screenies

Indeed. I pretty much only work on fictional skins because I enjoy designing (I mean, I AM a designer, after all). The actual process of drawing the livery is mildly therapeutic, but I can't bring myself to replicate something in detail because it's too tedious, and takes the fun out of doing it for me. I'll do the odd replica or real life inspired livery (like the Wedsport Celica I did for the FT86) but those are few and far between.

My body is ready.

Nice, Sergio!!! A little dark in overall tone but nearly everything is blending in together. I like the slight camber changes too.

Que buen laburo sergio eso ya se ve de primera!

Meanwhile in the depths of the Boss 302...

Texturing on the gauges is just for show (helps to check the size and depth of the instruments). Most of the painful work is done, doors open and all.
Wondering if this will be in Kunos plans...? Laguna Seca + Boss 302 LS...

Early stuff, AC needs a proper mustang

Am I the only disappointed that is not a an early mustang ?

for some reason screenshots did not look as "in game", i tweaked a little but still not the same

Yes.

 

[Jim Layee]

Yes.

Thought so

 

[aphidgod]

Not that an older model wouldn't also be welcome, but there's nothing to be disappointed about concerning the Boss.

Disappointed by a free car from one of the best modelers/modders in the simracing community? Probably.

 

[mantasisg]

Whats up with this new trend of being "dissappointed" ? Haven't noticed this so much before. I understand Kunos getting a lot of that, they deal with so many players, but modders ? I guess they has to take that as a very untactful compliment, this means they appreciate their skill. Possibly they just don't know what they need or want, and then expressing their frustration in a bad way. I'd suggest to hold the frustration and take a break then, learn to enjoy what you have. Become a better person.

 

[AccAkut]

Nah it's nothing new. When the Modding subforums were still open tons of comments were of the "don't waste your time on this, do a *insertJDMcarofchoice* instead, in these 4 variants!!!!!!"-type

 

[NightEye87]

Disappointed is a large word. When I saw it was the newer one I had a slight "aww bummer" moment. Nothing wrong with feeling that way. Doesn't mean any of us is ungrateful or wouldn't enjoy it

Looking good, but something's a bit wrong with your triangulation. Lots of |\|/|/|\|/|\| instead of |\|\|\|\|\|, especially on that windshield. Could seriously mess with reflections.
Those rims, btw...

That's how the video card renders the geometry, NOT how the mesh is built, actually they're all quads.
Nothing wrong with the reflections here:

As for the disappointed comment I don't take it as something bad or negative, I'd take classics any time over modern cars and is understandable that at this point is what it's expected of me.
This is a paid job I'm doing so it's not entirely my choice. Would love to do the Steve McQueen car though

Does anybody know if the DRM mod is still 'alive'?
Didn't see any news since June or so.

Yeah it is still alive. Soverlands posted about it in the last modding car roundup thread.
