The "What Are You Working On?" Thread

Wow, loving the Alfa GTAs (and family) thanks.

Morning guys...

The fact that my new notebook renders blisteringly fast (coming from a W530 that probably isn't very fast but hey) doesn't help my workflow . I separated the interior roofline and am welding and refining A and C pillars plus gauges, vents and switches so I can put you in the driver's seat asap.

In the meantime I finally got my shadow-line window frames - whoohouu.

Hello will you do a all three versions of wheels?

Hello will you do a all three versions of wheels?

Not quite sure if I get your question but all wheels will be available on all models as they were all options at the time. The Alpinas will retain the 20 spoke Alpina wheel. The 840i/Ci and 850i/Ci will receive a number of 16" wheels with more substantial sidewalls to model the 90s street handling more accurately.

What's these "test phase" cars you keep posting here? Are you building them from scratch? Or just hunting/gathering them from the interwebz? A bit more info wouldn't be out of place.
It's funny to see you posting a two-star review on a mod because there is "no info" or video?

I think it looks alright in-game (just with a ksPerPixel shader for now)

 

[aphidgod]

Jeez,. I'd hate to have to spend my hard-earned money buying a mod sight-unseen. That would be completely st... hang on, you say they're all free?

For some reason BMW chose the gauges cluster background to be light gray instead of the usual black/dark grey on the E31. Either way it remains the only model to ever have intersecting (analogue) dials. Gotta love the simplicity. This is CSi, regular has white needles and Alpina has its signature marine blue matte finish.

Because Alpina is so custom there isn't really a standard finish so I'll pick one of the 57 built 5.7s and just color it according to that specific model, same for the 5.0.

We got all blue I think exclusive to 5.7

We got bright blue and greyish blue probably standard:

At the expense of an extra 100 tris, I decided to add proper glass and a super-low-poly interior - worth the effort, I think

I need to go back and update my VW vans now, so they match

Reminds me of the time I thought it worthwhile to update the intake frames of my F-14 which resulted in a complete remodeling of the underside fuselage . Chain reactions I tell ya.

That van is so cool, you definitely gained lots of immersion with those details. I actually see one of those almost daily. It is hands down the coolest (and world's first) van.

In Japan there is a kit available to convert a Suzuki Every Kei van front grill to look like a Citroën H Van.

 

[stingray_SIX_TWO]

Even only the top part of that dashboard is messy. Probably get it done tomorrow with rest of vent controls, light control panels left and right and then only thing left to do is tilt, rotate, weld and extrude and we should have a nice 'dashboard on top of a dashboard'

Here's an external video of the current build - I'll upload the on-board footage in the morning

...and the onboard footage (in Lilski's personal Cobra 289 mod). I have quite a few minor errors to correct that my helpful testers keep pointing out to me (i.e. misplaced trees, bushes encroaching on the track, missing textures on distant buildings), so lots still to do

Spent too much time on my day off messing with the Spec Ford.




both modifications i did to this mod are out sans the hoosier tires, still working on those.

epic road/race track! is the track size (zip file) still under 500mb?
I think I'm gonna love this "track"

 

[Fat-Alfie]

Yes, it is still under 500mb (for now). I do still have to add about 25% more vegetation and a few more track-side details, but I don't expect the .zip size to grow much more (hopefully!)

It's grown quite a bit over the last 2 years, though

 

[bsmooth]

Amazing to see this grow from nothing to the masterpiece its becoming.Its like a mix of the ring and Lemans. Not sure how I would remember the whole track though without many, many drives. Then again all those drives would be pretty memorable as well. It flows like the Highlands track, just so much longer and better looking.

 

[Fat-Alfie]

...Not sure how I would remember the whole track though without many, many drives...

I wouldn't worry too much. I spoke to someone on a discord channel who said he could learn it in 1-3 hours

 

[stingray_SIX_TWO]

Light switches, some welding, some details to go and the top dashboard is done. Getting those angles and proportions right was a major PITA. Glad it's done.
