Wow, this is incredible.

Sorry for the big break, been a while since I last worked on this.

Last time out I had done the main cockpit textures, but ever since I haven't been particularly happy with them, so went about remaking them.
Previously I tried adding wear/tear to everything but it just wasn't possible to have it look decent whilst keeping the texture size reasonable, so this time I split it into 2; one for the things that need the wear/tear the most (seat, steering wheel, painted bulkhead etc), then anther smaller texture for everything else, and I think it worked out better.

I also did the smaller details, so name plates, labels etc. Overall I'm reasonably pleased. Apologies in advance for the big photo dump:

Looks great !! I was thinking about this one the other day. So glad you post this update, now to hoping it will release soon

 

[TWHH62]

Looking forward to this - really - believe me!
Thank You very much for the afford to bring something like this to AC.

waiting in patience,
Torsten

that's really a piece of art in detailing/baking/mapping.. wow

 

[Dave_6]

Beautiful! I can't wait to try and drive it!

 

[Rodolfo]

Great work, I also can't wait! It's because I'm a great fan of Bernd Rosemeyer.

 

[Billy Pilgrim]

Looks amazing.

How is the physics going ? And perhaps even sound ?

It is state of the art model. Few years ago when we began modding and we saw models such as Cobra, Audi Quatro, Porsche 917/30, Miura, Fulvia... by the_meco, pankykapus and others... they had this same feelwhen looking at them. Perhaps they were even not as good.

The amount of details Amazing

 

[elloLeo Kinnunen]

Everything looks just amazing... I'm way past having any constructive criticism to offer other than stop mistreating this lady by driving her on your formula e circuit! I am curious though, how do you go about producing the texture images? Is there a how-to video you could recommend?

 

[Fat-Alfie]

Gary, that just looks incredible! There are cars, and then there are CARS! That car is a work of beauty If that ever gets released it's going to be an almost unique experience, driving it round some of the vintage tracks in AC.

We are so lucky to have people like you creating cars like that for us

 

[GTAce]

This is almost on the level of GT, if not on par. Amazing work.

 

[garyjpaterson]

lol appreciate the kind words folks, but really i think the showroom is flattering to deceive.

Its nice, but its not nearly "917/30 nice", as much as i wish it was

 

[Tigerteeth]

It's a pity AC has no steam workshop, mods of this quality need exposure and creators rewarded for extending the life of a game after the developers have moved on.

Amazing work as ever Gary. My G25 is bust at the moment, but I'm still looking forward to taking it for a spin on one of Fat Alfie's masterpieces with a controller (yikes).

Never apologise for a photo dump of this thing

 

[somake]

This is THE CAR !

 

[garyjpaterson]

Boring stuff that I enjoy anyway:

LR cockpit done, really quite happy with it. All one material (2 objects, as the steering wheel needs to move still), nice 50k+ tri drop and 20 object count reduction that can come in really close imo.
Not perfect, chrome for example doesn't quite have the same pop, as its a compromise to get all different materials working on a single shader/texture.
