Cars The Need For Speed

[Kyuubeey]

Why don't you attempt to make it yourself then?

While that is a good answer at annoying people who keep asking all the time, we all do what we can.

I create physics because I put in the almost decade to learn it. To get to AD3R level, someone would likely have to put in a similar amount of time. For a working person with aspirations, it's a bit much for a hobby. Thus we request and beg and plead. Nearly always it's fruitless, but sometimes your wants align with the creator's.

@A3DR
First of all, thank you for building what must be one of the better looking cars in history.
Now on the subject of that Esprit.... Are you sure I can't talk you into doing an early model without the vulgar plastic surgery ?

My friend from a few posts above? She told me she'd go the extra way for one of these...

LOL, while I agree that the "pure" Esprit is the way to go, I'll be focusing on the 90's for now.

Do a Previa

That'll be fun for sure, but when it comes to my own cars, I think making my LS400 would be a bit more interesting, not that the Previa isn't but... who knows what may come first.

After the Formula Juniors are done and released, I think it's my turn to pick something? (Which will be a certain Subaru for sure. )

Of course, whenever you make up your mind just yell at me

Mmmmmm, 90's..... Lemme see what we got there...

Not requesting. Just posting this for a friend...

@A3DR first a 996, now an Esprit... you can't go on making good versions of cars I did

Yes, yes - YES.
Its happening boys ! Its been a long wait, but now the project is started !
Awesome news A3DR, keep us updated with the workflow.
I just love to watch this "in development" pictures. So dont hold back on them

Im so pumped ! Yes !


aphigod; as a Subaru-fanboy, what do you have in mind ?

It's going to be my personal RL 07 WRX... I've been trying to get it released since 2015, which is the sole reason I bought AC in the first place. All these other cars have just been my way of killing time while I wait.

(Laugh, but it's basically true.)

will @Porschepinkpig still use this for the gt2 evo?

If he's up for the task, sure.

Checking out proportions with real pics before starting to split the panels and work the rest of the shapes. Hand made camera matching (yeah just being lazy) so there might be a slight error, no big deal as the most important features seem to fit just fine.

Watching car modders work is like watching witchcraft

Looks perfect! Maybe apart from the edge of the rear arch where the the fender meets the bumper. Seems to be angled differently. Small thing but it could mess with the overall rear stance in the final result.

 

[A3DR]

More panel work done plus some details, will have to do a reflections test to see where it needs cleaning later on.

 

[Kyuubeey]

Jeez, you work fast. A3DR quality I suppose.

I can attest to the fact that physics are also handled properly .

Very nice progress!

Do you plan to do a Turbo version later on? (Differences are the bigger spoiler and wider rear fenders?)

Also, something about that rear wheel arch is bothering me. Should it be a bit more curved or is the perspective just playing tricks on me?

 

[RufGTI]

I would clearly pay for a Darche 93 Turbo/GT2

 

[aphidgod]

I do have physics done for the 993TT... in fact, that was part of how this project got started in the first place. We were discussing doing a Diablo, then Dan came back to me a few weeks later and pointed out that with my private 993 and 512TR, the Lamborghini would give us over half of the NFS lineup. (If you factored in the existing NSX mod and the Kunos RX-7 & Supra.) You know the rest.

I've been doing some adjustments here and there, so maybe it was a bit tight after the turbosmooth process, sometimes it happens when the vertex tension is too different than the rest of the arch. It's all part of the process.
Also there are parts where the "blueprint"doesn't match 100% but the pictures does, like clearly seen in the rear bumper.

Porsche blueprints are always somewhat of an afterthought - surprised they worked so well for you on this but I also suspect that the blueprint you're using is not official Porsche?!

Either way thanks for documenting the progress and, as always, looks great!! The photo line up really worked well on this one.

Man..., suffering big time here...
Watching these WIP pics is almost like watching something like this...
