The "What Are You Working On?" Thread

Does it have an aftermarket exhaust? Those tail pipes look really big.

Well at least custom pipes, yeah, though they're a bit smaller now

 

[Sergio Loro]

are you married to a danish woman or you just happen to like danish butter cookies a lot?

here at Argentina we love the "scandinavia" countrys and Finland too, and why not the baltic nations, i admired their organization and off course their tracks

I have all the tarmac patches in place now, along with shiny tar edges and slightly smoother, grippier physical patches too. Also adding some extra prettiness on the village signs

I love the story the car's ..."paintjob" tells

@Fat-Alfie is that a closed cockpit P4? Can I have it too please ?

 

[MohdTN]

95% remodeled from the first release, new textures and more details and new roads to drive around and have fun
It's finished and coming soon.

I hope you guys like it

Spoiler: If you can help me adding Traffic to the track

Well that's as much as I could cram in before I head there this weekend...now to endlessly fret over the car, all the stuff I need to take and if I can actually set a new PB...

I was gonna let that one slide...

Probably just running an AI race for the screenshots.

Read that as crayons and didn’t question it until the picture loaded.

I think I'm able to make this thing work.

Absolutely no idea what I'm doing but doing it anyway. Wanted to try and put together some sort of track forever but always put off with how much there is to learn and such little time to do it in, so finally decided to do what may be the most boring and least imaginative track ever for AC, just a generic (but crucially, modular) city block.
The idea is because I dont have the time to carefully make something accurate to real life, nor the imagination to make a fun fictional track, I can simply focus on learning the techniques for a very small area (120 square metres to be precise), then make an array to have something decent sized to drive on.
Its also wide enough I can make something akin to a Formula E track with barriers that is at least a little bit more interesting than a 14x14 grid

First I started messing with physics mesh variables; poly density, noise frequency/amplitude etc to see what felt good on FFB. Had quite a lot of options

Eventually I narrowed down what I wanted, and started with the city block. This is more or less what I have now - the road has a subtle crest in the middle, which you feel when driving in the far left/right lane where the intersecting road influences the road, kinda like that bump at Monaco! Its quite bumpy at speed in stiff race cars, though in street cars its totally fine.

So I've started texturing the visual mesh now, not totally happy but its good enough for a first attempt (and not likely for there to be a second attempt any time soon). Road paint, tarmac base and pavement, obviously there is a million and one things I still need to add but its looking reasonable now. Will add some rubber over the intersection to mark the seam a bit, same with asphalt patches and cracks etc.

I think modelling trackside objects should be slightly more familiar territory for me, so lets see how that goes in future. Fun to have somewhere to skid around already though

Bonus gif if you got this far:

I hope I'm not the only person but while you're at it, I would actually love some street based tracks for AC

The P13's initial release will only have one LOD so it can come out sooner, intermediate 2 will get worked on and then published together with whatever other improvements are found in the few weeks after version 1.

Seems unfair to post pics of LODs bigger than they'll be seen ingame but whatever (lod A and D).

I've always wanted to say this unironically, so... I'm with Stupid.

don't know where i'm going either but hey
someone said, stupid ideas are the fun ones

Christ... i was thinking coming up with a small handful of building was gonna be a task. Not quite sure what you'd call that effort

Over at ACM there's actually a few eager guys trying their hands at city tracks, non near release yet.

It's nice calling things finished, the cart should be next.

Added accurate tach and non-accurate speedo needle, (the KSEditor helper... doesn't at all work. lol. so I just moved everything about 200 degrees and called it good) plus the framework that bolts it on, which has some idiot lights on it that will never light up

Oh, the kart's officially white irl so I can release this whenever I get bored of adding stuff and uv map it.
