The "What Are You Working On?" Thread

[Ghoults]

There is more video there too . I can see the view numbers and nobody has noticed them so far . I don't want to post pictures yet. Too many ugly things. Radioactive 3d grass, unfinished trees, lots of wear and tear missing from all objects, houses made of cubes, no shrubbery around the track. It looks very plain and rough still.

 

[Fat-Alfie]

Even so, I love to see WIP shots, and watch how the project grows and becomes more polished. Everyone has their own opinions, but personally, I love to see where projects have come from as much as where they end up

Ok, some pics:

edit: @Ghoults Ooooh I already love that corner in the second pic


I'm also dabbling with that dark side of modding a little... diversifying myself

Mostly because I only have access to my sim rig on the weekend right now, and my ol laptop is too weak for full car models... but I can make low poly assets with it just fine and plop them when I have time.

great shoreline, right? Pure Blender here, no RTB, very early, driveable. Track is fantasy but follows real life roads and pathways... and autobahn

If that's too ugly to show then I can't wait to see how it progresses! That turn in pic2 looks fantastic, with the camber changes and elevation drop

Well I figured my first post of the new year should be of some news of a new project. I've always had the idea of getting a group together to sort of "divide and conquer" and tackle a larger number of tracks. Doing these alone is a long and tedious process at times. I felt if I could get a group together we could all tackle different aspects of the track building process and finish in much less time while still keeping quality and accuracy as highest priority. The problem is finding people that not only have the talent but also have similar interests. Thus far @Johnr777 and I have been working on Road America. @Rigel is also onboard but is currently busy with another project.

I built the base track layout and land with the walls roughed in. John has begun to tackle the objects around the track. I originally started this track as a private project for a friend who needed an accurate RA. The existing mod is a mess in so many ways. As I built it I decided I wanted it to be a public release at some point so I opted not to take payment of any kind so I could finish it someday and release it. This is the first track we started working on as a group but the other RA is also on our radar and will possibly build both at the same time. This is all early days yet but I am excited and wanted to share what we have been up to.

Here is a lap around the current build in the 2018 IndyCar.

yeah!!! it will be the modern/current track, right? (don't know if it has been through many variations as other tracks though)
Lidar based as all your works, I could guess?

 

[Thiago Moya]

Wow, could we can dream with Mid-Ohio, maybe Cleveland? @LilSki

US Tracks

The track centerline has never changed since the very beginning. Only curbs, walls and some runoff has been added over the years. And yes this will be a fully modern up to date version of the track.

The track is indeed built on proper data. I wouldn't bother building a modern track without it. Most major US tracks have good data. And most major US tracks are on my list

Cool stuff, i might be interested in doing some trackside cameras if you want.

Not working on it yet (not until Deutschlandring is finished and released) but my 2.5 Gb of reference material arrived in my Inbox today

...I can't wait to get Deutschlandring finished off so I can sink my teeth into this wonderful opportunity ...
Big, big thank you to @Ryno917 who took the time and trouble to put me in touch with the (very generous) guy who collated all this info. Project Car's loss is going to be Assetto Corsa's gain

There's just nothing better then coming home, connecting to the internet, and to find you are in a good mood for track making
2019 is only two days old, but already looking fantastic

oh oh oh
Here's a merry christmas to you all
and a new WIP for me... 2 hours to get this bloody wire correctly (!!)

You're a very inspirational man, look what you made me do

Always wanted to do a wire spoke wheel!

 

[Pixelchaser]

just finishing new guard rails @LRP

and starting these kudzo foliage designs on the back rails. 1 foliage plane higher poly res than the fence place, with some deformed vertices to make appear in and out the fencing links. and still to make some further 3d additions for hedge width. Suitably realistic I think...

That grass looks so dense, it makes me want to get the lawn-mower.

hehe nooooo ! took me hundreds of hours to grow that weed!.i will cut a channel out so a screenshot with gary`s racing mower makes some sense. stay off the grass !

it is rather dense ,so there is going to be two heights eventually and mower stripes and tyre tracks cut out in various spots as it is dense enough.

slowly getting things behind me... finally did the LODs for the new clamshell, sorted the missing things, and it's ready for duty.
Also night ready for Content manager, indicator, working odometer etc.

Well, xD
My data folders were wrong ones, and it's a mess, so I'm in for a reupload in the meantime if you see anything else.. let me know!

ZIS 101A Sport - 1939 model. Jem of the pre-war USSR roadster. Made only one, then WW2 started, car was lost. But in 2006 it was remade by some cool guys.
Original roadster based on heavy representative car ZIS 101. Donor car weight almost 2.5 tones. Roadster was ~600 kilos lighter, but even tuning engine did not made this car super fast, but super good looking.

Total physics rehaul, part 2 (work in progress). Compared to the Sierra this drives on rails:

As a 3D noob, I'm happy that I managed to shrink the tyres of the original to a proper size.

Sick. I've spent a few years working on GT-R's in sims. Lots of measurements and countless hours scouring through documents and speaking to owners and whatnot for anecdote and data. You got yourself into a real rabbit hole now. Probably took me at least a few hundred man hours to sort out the electric systems.

After the R33 I'm involved with releases, I could share my ATTESA and HICAS simulation with you, if you want. They're really very realistic, and although it remains a mystery what *exactly* they did to the ATTESA in the Group A or N1 cars, it can be roughly worked out if you figure everything else out. The TAISAN STP R32 is one I've always wanted to make, given how much we know about the specs. Maybe, some day...

In the meanwhile, taking a break from the R33, I've been making some AE86's for private use. I was convinced I could do it right, because the ones offered are just no good sadly. The axle in AC is a bit buggy, but I've found probably the ideal solution that doesn't deviate from the real measurements too much.

I remembered the great N2 AE86 mod in rFactor, and wanting some in AC, I just went and did it myself...

3D has nothing at all to do with me and some random thing I found on the net, but the physics are 100% completely by me, barring AI and autoshifter. ;D

TRD especially is pretty gracious in what data they provide, so there's lots to work with.

If someone wants to start modelling some AE86's in stock and various other spec, I have essentially completed physics ready, and soon for this N2 car as well...
