The "What Are You Working On?" Thread

Does the truck produce lap times comparable to another car in AC?

It's faster in a straight line than the NA MX5 but quite a bit slower in corners. So on some circuits they're similar but generally the MX5 has better laptimes.

Stair version's similar to base model Abarth 595 SS, again better acceleration and worse cornering.

Lol, sounding quicker than the Transit then. What sort of power does this thing make?

 

[Stereo]

I cheated a bit on power cause I couldn't find anyone dynoing the particular model I wanted, so it's the same block out of an unknown other Ford (probably early 70s Thunderbird, who puts a 7.5L in a coupe though seriously). It's a bit over 210whp, 300 tq.

 

[garyjpaterson]

Fair enough, Transit is lacking about 100whp then... Was hoping they could compete, should be quicker than the Stair version at least though

A friend just bought a Pontiac Fury, 7.4 litre carb V8... shakes the garage complex when he starts it. Estimated 300 PS, so 40 PS per litre. My Lupo pulls at least 50 PS out of its 1.0 litres of fury

That reminds me of the old days modding for 1nsane, with a 2,000 vert limit for the whole car

Oh man, I used to love that game. It's rare to come across someone else who knows it!

Some of the trucks and cars used on NJMP came from Alfie's 1nsane models. They were just about perfect for modern day low poly vehicles.

As dire as that sounds for a 460 you're probably actually flattering it a bit. The 70s were a dark time for American V8s.

so guys i need help

Yesterday i've learned how to make tires ....its all good... but theres a problem wich is the tris count

i made a tire with 32 sections (i can do more sections its no problem) but the more i add the numbers increase like a ton

what am i missing in this "tire subject"...

You'll need to make 'low poly' versions, without any tread and make use of normal maps and textures to show the tread. I'm sure you can use those high poly tyres to make those textures, although its beyond my abilities at this point.

Made little progress the past few weeks. Redid the windscreen seal/trim. Not quite happy though with the upper right corner, it still feels too narrow/sharp (?) imo.

What do you think?

 

[mantasisg]

@movo. I think you use too much perimeter edges around the seal, you can have a very good look with two times less. Also, I think, you can just make the seal a separate object, but I'm not sure if it would be more comfortable. But seals are not seamlessly connected to the cars IRL.

 

[movo.]

@mantasisg Thanks, you mean too many edge loops? It is a separate object. Lofted with a shape from the main body

 

[mantasisg]

Yeah, I think there are too many loops, however AC can handle huge amount of geometry Rivets on my XJ13 are all geometry lol.

 

[NightEye87]

While you might get away with less edge loops, the classic 911 trim has a lot of detail in them. So if the budget allows I'd keep them
The corner does indeed look too sharp. It's smeared out almost twice as large IRL.

Loading some stuff just for fun

I'm also making a "rust pack" with 10 colors

Thanks to @Stereo, great model/mod, I'm having so much fun with it, both doing texture/model practice and also driving

Holy

That texture work is amazing! Tyres and everything...

I hope maybe one day when my Transit is done you can work your magic and make it the rusty heap of junk it truly is
