The "What Are You Working On?" Thread

[Sven Hielscher]

Well i've been experimenting with the cameras thing with some advice of modeller friends and @A3DR post [...]

So you're trying to prove your model with camera matching? Maybe BLAM for Blender could be your perfect partner with this Just make sure to grab the latest one from github and watch some healthy tutorials on YT

Had to update to the latest aero spec, including front dive planes and a new rear wing mount.

The connection of the rearwing to the body looks really fragile.
Otherwise beautiful longtail

I did say the new one was even more fragile looking

That's not a splitter, that's a table.

Ha!
And I was wondering like where that video on the Supercars page came from

Why so much ground clearance? Is this supposed to be a rally car?

I think the headlights BrownNinja commented on looked a little weird, but I have come to expect Gary to push the boundaries of design and functionality. I think his unique garage of self-made vehicles proves that.

That KVRC challenge does not really care for real life usability or produce-abilty. Is there even enough space around the front wheels to allow realistic steering angle?

Yeah the MVRC rules are a lot better, though not fully realistic (hence rear wing structure etc). Front wheels are close, I get (IIRC), about 12 degrees lock which seems on par with kunos LMP1 cars, had to add very subtle 'bulges' to the arches to avoid clipping.

Gotta promote the brand!

Edit* few more details

And always interesting to see how far its come since the early days;

The best thing about Facebook is that roughly everybody is there. Means I can avoid roughly everybody in one simple move.

Thank you very much ! Just tried with the AMG GT3
This track really deserved an update, and it is perfect ! The physical mesh is quite perfect now ! We can really feel the track as real (not too smooth, not artificially too bumpy either)
5 stars rating without hesitation !

PS : There are a lot of tracks out that need some upgrade on the physical mesh, and yours great skill ;-) ... Monaco 67 or Sonoma for example ...

I took a break from working on my Feldbergring track to spend a bit of time on my own personal 'unicorn' project. I have this vision that somewhere in Europe there is a route on public roads that could be as cool and exhilarating as the Nordschleife. My criteria :- long (longer than 16km), fast but with technical sections, different sections with different characters to allow memorising, foresty and green... basically Nords, but not Nords

So, I found this place in France, in the Parc Naturel Régional du Morvan with a 26km loop of public roads and I absolutely love it! I have worked on it all weekend and have memorised the course. It's a real rush once you start getting your lines right from one corner to the next, remembering the places that car lifts off the ground, the blind crest, the huge drops... it is heaven

I intend to make it into a track like Nords, with armco barriers, curbs, a few run-off areas. I understand that most people won't get the point, but it's an idea I have had in the back of my mind for many months, and this course is the closest I think I have come so far

I was going to upload an on-board video but figured you'd all be bored of watching a 10min 30s lap in the Praga R1
