Some normals might need fixing
But dang, what a beauty it still is!

Maybe its also an good idea to include an pit-crew mod in an 1930’s outfit, instead of the space outfit from the actual pitcrew zombies from AC.

Still plenty of work to go with the T59. Don't have the body exactly where I want it yet.

You're working incredibly fast

You're working incredibly fast

Thanks! That is what happens when you hire a team of professionals. Our primary 3d modeler doesn't even know anything about sim racing, but the guy worked professionally as a 3d modeler for decades, and I do have to say the cars we create as a team are beautiful largely as a result of his skills.

Awesome work! May i ask you if it is possible to test it? The model looks so great!

You should add your shop website to your profile page here. I see other users with payware endeavours do this, so it should be ok

Not only Paypal, but also Creditcard payment would be great.

About 90% of the exterior of the 1934 Bugatti T59 has been completed.

Time for everyone to hunt for flaws, while I can still change things! Only thing left to do on my list is the drum brakes (we totally forgot...) and a couple of little tweaks.

Finishing up the Bugatti T59 3d model.

Then next to make the suggested changes to the Auto Union. After that I'll be shifting my focus 100% to the dawn of speed pack to finish up any last troubleshooting and making final physics adjustments in preparation for the release next month.

We have been working on reshaping the Auto Union Type A's body. Any critiques should be given now.

 

[NightEye87]

I think the nose is too bulky. There are still some flat panels where they should be curved (mostly noticable behind the driver's seat). The rear has some normals issues. Tyres look too round.

My only reference for my critique is this one:

Auto Union racing cars - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Because the internet is full with mislabeled car pics (showing Type C's as Type A's, etc.)

To my eyes, this model looks plenty fine Keeping all my fingers crossed now for correct physics and good sounds! This could be epic!

Ha, you're not kidding on the latter point! Easiest way to tell the difference (IMO) is the extruded air inlets behind the driver.

@A Casual Sim Racer do you know the specific images that have been used for the model? Obviously no two were identical in period, so TBH it's going to be based entirely off the plans/reference images that have been used for this one. My main question is regarding the two 'bumps' in front of the driver's eye - I've never seen them look as protruded as the ones in the pic, but that's likely just the images I've looked at. TBH, I'm mainly curious about what they are for!

The inlets behind the driver also look bigger on the below pics (from German and French GPs 1934, apparently) and the cap on the right-side (oil?) before the air inlet should be slightly more 'outside' rather than directly in front of it (note how it's part of the panel with the downward curve). DM me on Discord if you want me to highlight on the pics, but again it's more than likely that these changed at some point later in the year or were slightly different from model to model.

Looking great though, really looking forward to it.

So I hope you are all happy.... We had to start over and rebuild everything from scratch, but here she is!

It looks like your reflections come to a point on the back of the car, even if the actual surface shape is smooth. What you can do to reduce that is instead of having the contour lines come to a point (even though that's an accurate description of the shape; drawn in red) is recreate the topology of a subdivided cube (green, outer corner of the cube, relaxed onto the surface of the sphere).

That last triangle where the spine of the car and waistline meet is effectively one eighth of a sphere. So the better way to subdivide it is to put a vertex in the middle and connect it to all 3 edges, generating 3 quads. Once you've done this you can add extra loops in any direction and they don't converge onto a point anymore, they just wrap around the car in one direction or another.
