The "What Are You Working On?" Thread

Tires made.

 

[GTAce]

All exterior mapped and imported in game to check suspension work. All is good, so modelled the handling, starting with gta values. Very very happy with the result for now.View attachment 323283

Duuuude.

I love the tracks from NFS 3/4 SO much

I actually have got a tool you could convert the track models with, might be a good reference point.

The way I referenced the track was to open the original track model in some old program called t3d. Then I just took pictures from above along the track and stitched them together in gimp into a ref pic like this but about 8x bigger:

Then traced the track in blender to create the roads. Then again went through all the 7.7km of the track in about 50m steps and looked the elevations from t3d and manually added them to the blender model. Accuracy is not that important because the original track has elevation changes that are so drastic that you'd be getting airborne everywhere all the time so I had to smooth it out. Which sounds fun but to to be able to land those jumps in anything except trophy truck is impossible without spinning out constantly.

After that I just fine tuned the track a bit to smooth out the jumps, added cambers and made some of the buildings and textured it using free cc0 textures. I'll probably add some more ac features to the track and give it away as cc0 with all the blender files as well so everybody can do whatever they want with it. Maybe it could also work as a sample track where people can check how to setup startlights and and such.

Anybody recognize (not conversion)

OMG! I played that game so much as a little kid! Can't wait to drive this track in AC!

Where the F die you pull that GTV6 from now?

I've been working on some skins for a couple of Alfa Romeo's, made these for Pessio's GTAm yesterday and this morning. One of them is actually a GTA Junior livery but I like the livery so sneaked it in the pack

Woooo.... nice!

Just trying out making textures by cloning and projection painting in Blender, after watching this tutorial:

Really impressed with the results, only downside is it underlines how shoddy some of my other textures are:

That's always a risk of improving your ability. Your old work usually doesn't show the improvement.

Those rear lights really needed some detail. With this and some texturing it should look alright. In the GIF it is the actual bulbs that are emitting light. 3rd brake light is darker as it sits behind the tinted rear window. The original has a cut out in that place and I'll do the same because I don't want to sacrifice window tint and I can't tweak it with the light itself.

The entire rear end around the lights was also too curved, checking my reference images there's practially an edge in the design on that corner so that is corrected now.

The real fun will start in getting the textures, transparency and placement right behind or on the rear light 'glass'.

B12 5.7 finally has enough grills to let the hot air out and the NACA duct to let cool air in to cool the fuel lines

Work in progress, test phase 3

Work in progress, test phase 3

by test phase you mean, you trying to add new cars we don't know about each time ?
can't wait for the next phase!

 

[Pessio]

Pretty happy with the result of interior, dashboard is really funky

 

[gecco]

Looks gorgeous, and you've definitely captured the atmosphere. I can almost smell the gasoline and hear the sputter of the carburetors. Those old Alfas were things of delicate beauty in and out.

You can't have a vintage French track without a vintage French van

Move over pro car modders, 1700 tri masterpiece coming through - (I think I had better stick to vegetation )

 

[CobraCat]

All it needs is a Hellcat engine !!

Oh la la my croissant!
Someone does physics to this fish can

 

[aphidgod]

Looks like something they'd build on Top Gear.
