(w.i.p) Lola B12/60 Rebellion Racing

[Stefan Woudenberg]

Pre release can be found here
==============================================================

What is new or changed in v0.99 (March 3rd 2015)?

- basic drag increased, so a little reduced top speed
- the range for the downforce is reduced, as it had too much of it
- new tire models for the slick and endurance tyre.
- improved some textures.
- added a new upgrade feature.

Enjoy!!

==============================================

What is new in version 0.95: (Jun 17th 2014)

- updated physics, car is softer, so more grip on the rear.
- centered the left rear brake disc.
- adjusted the tire change, refueling and driver swap times to more realistic ones.
- added new skins which were made by our member Joao Fernandes

Still to do:
- static shadows on the template
- driver animation
- camera positions
- head position of the driver and the head...

==============================================

Update v0.92 (Jun 5th 2014):

- update the engine, which should now have the performance of the Toyota 3.4L V8 RV8KLM.
- the standard eye point is more forward.
- added an ALT skin from Rebellion Racing, so not everyone needs to drive a black car.

===============================================
Info:
After the Pescarolo 2008 LMP car I started working on my next model.
Again a prototype, this time the LOLA B12/60 used by Rebellion Racing in the FIA WEC.

Here some screenies of the WIP:

The work on the cockpit is almost done. Got some problems with the COCKPIT instance whichh doesn't seem to work. If that is done/fixed . I need to make the rpm leds on the steering wheel work and finally the lights, so night driving is possible too.

I have done some work on the sounds inside the cockpit, but I could use some help on that.
If someone could help me with that that would be very much appriciated and you will be in the credits.
The sounds need to be from a Toyota 3.4L V8 RV8KLM.
If you can help me, please pm me.

I am thinking about releasing this as open source aswell as soon as it's released.

looks like you are doing some good progress, can0t wait to see the final product, well done

 

[Stefan Woudenberg]

Small update:

@Dennis Coufal did some tests last night and found a few issues with a few materials which need to be fixed, mainly have to do with HDR. In DevMod there is no HDR, so hadn't noticed it before. Ofcourse I will fix that.

There was some issue with the sound (too loud when all volumes are set at 100%), which we fixed right away, so at least 1 thing that is 100% finished.

Thanx Dennis for the nice chat and testing, so far.

 

[Frederic Schornstein]

Damn I want to get behind the wheel of that thing

 

[Stefan Woudenberg]

Small update:

a few material problems should have been solved. Send a new build to the testers.

Small update (like last tuesday):

improved a few textures and materials.
New build send to the testers.

 

[Stefan Woudenberg]

I will be busy the coming 2 weeks, but when I find a bit of time, I will give the driver animation a new try. Till now all tries failed to export it with animation and made the game to crash.
Personally I never use it as I drive in cockpit mode with my own hand and arms to look at.

Also will change a couple of camera positions.
I hope to see some of Sven's work coming together. And than release this puppy.

Peace out!

 

[Richard Hill]

Can't wait for this Lola
Keep up the great work

I'm a beginner with skinning but once Tapio or anyone else has done their first one I'm ok at changing colours and creating a different look from an existing one. That would be a pleasure to assist.
Skinning from a template is however beyond me.

Sure David, but you should learn how to skin using a template. It's easier than you think

 

[Stefan Woudenberg]

Back from France...
I will do my best to work on the driver animation this weekend.

[Rui F. Martins]

damm, rigth when i have no time

 

[Fraggon]

Great work! did anybody do a 2014 skin yet?

 

[Stefan Woudenberg]

No, I haven't received any skins yet....

 

[Fraggon]

Tbh the template needs some serious work, especially a shadow layer. I wish I could do that for you but I'm lacking the skill.

If you had read the release notes, you could already know that it's being worked on.
