Some wip projects

[AndreasFSC]

SAAB "exterior interior" as a placeholder for "interior interior"

 

[AndreasFSC]

Sloooooowly getting there

 

[Vanaja]

Better

 

[AndreasFSC]

Will look ok with some textures

 

[AndreasFSC]

A new picture, because... why not?

 

[AndreasFSC]

SAAB interior is almost finished, Volvo interior needs much more work

 

[AndreasFSC]

Just some basic uv mapping and painting. Will be improved obviously

 

[AndreasFSC]

Still need to balance interior reflection and brightness, fix interior windows and texture, fix some details around the gauges and fix the up side of the steering wheel, but it is getting closer to finished at least.

 

[Sven Hielscher]

Looking very promising!

 

[AndreasFSC]

Not very much left to do now (but there is still a list with minor details to fix).

 

[AndreasFSC]

Serious front suspension failure

 

[AndreasFSC]

Seems like the brakes don't work exactly as they should, or maybe there is still some minor suspension damage. The work continues...

Photo session before mod release (in a few days probably)

Some CO2 here I'm afraid

Heavy breaking, front down...

...rear up

Just have to be careful not to slam the brakes, or the rear wheels might lock up.

Some body roll coming out of a sharp corner.

Trying to look like a sports car in red

The roll cage isn't standard equipment in this every day family car

Ready to go! Be careful with the new shiny paint and body panels

A nice and relaxing Sunday drive

Entering the drag strip at Mantorp. This might take some time.

Are there spy photographers hiding in the vegetation?

Possibly...

Status update:

* Volvo vs SAAB "Battle of Sweden" is available. There could always be improvements, but I think the mod is on an OK level for now.

* Test track from Toca2 - the models are in .gmt (Race 07) format and a lot of texture mapping is done. It is time for painting, which is a long process.

* DTM Volvo C70 - nothing new yet

* GT3 Huracan - nothing new yet. I might continue this project soon.

 

[AndreasFSC]

Wanted to work on this car for a while.
Most of the exterior is modeled and mapped. As described earlier (I think) it is a mix between the DTM prototype and a small model car at the Volvo museum showing what a DTM c70 could look like.
The car will probably get one black and one yellow Zakspeed livery, and one factory blue and silver livery.

 

[AndreasFSC]

Nothing extraordinary so far, but I am happy with this at this early stage in the process

 

[AndreasFSC]

A lot to fix as usual. I had to edit the shapes of the rear and the front. They were not wide enough.
It seems I rounded of the edges too much when I made the old models.
Starting to look good from some angles, but not so good from others. Just a very basic interior so far.
The car looks small compared to the others (DTM Opel and Audi, not my mod), so I think I have to double check the overall size
Edit: Yes it was about 10% too small

 

[Sven Hielscher]

Really looking forward to that one!
Still thinking of making something like a fictional DTM series mod with various real and fictional prototype/silhouette cars... tgere so many great models and mods out there so it should have a lot variety but don't know when I could ever find enough time do that

 

[AndreasFSC]

Yes, there are always more ideas than available time

 

[AndreasFSC]

Fixed the car size. Tricky to get the materials right, will probably take some time.
Now some vacation for about one week.
