The "What Are You Working On?" Thread

[A3DR]

@A3DR has used it in the past on some cars, not sure if its still a part of his workflow or not. I've been interested for a while but never really wanted to try it on a more complex project, but something like this is ideal. I also went back and did the same to my normal road pavement edges.

Been using it here and there, but mostly on small parts like bolts, suspension arms or wipers, it can be a very useful tool if you can get used to modeling that way. In your case of modeling assets like the concrete barriers, is the best way to go to keep poly count down.

Thanks! I've set the boost gauge like you described since AC doesn't want to use LUTs for turbo gauges.

Here's a pic of the car in game with the lights on.

Funny I've always thought that this one is the best interior from all the cars they've done. I wouldn't touch anything else other than lighting, textures are so well crafted is a shame to mess with them.

The model quality is absolutely top notch, that's for sure. I didn't change any textures (apart from the gauge faces), I only reduced the interior plastic's ksAmbient to make the plastic look darker.

Hey, I am just spaming my poll, which I don't even know why I made. What cars do you like in simulation ?

Looks like 80s road cars are doing well so far. I have a few in the stable...

 

[mantasisg]

I have a feeling that it is maybe because poll was seen the most from this place, though I see how 80s + 90s could potentially beat anything else, maybe except the present times. I also spamed poll at reddit, but as always reddit is not interested in anything else but rigs

I mean, modern/ish race cars are predictably dominating the top, but that's the #1 road car choice so far. (And I don't do modern/ish race cars.)

Loving playing with normals to try and keep tri counts down

Now with added diffuse - needs tyre marks still.

adding usual stuff around Roskilde, cars, marshalls, evil 2d people and so on

I think this completes visual work on the chassis with headlights, "firewall" between driver and engine (still very open but radiant heat from the headers will bounce off) and a proper halo bar. Backside of the engine is all that needs work, being the gearbox, carburetors, and chain drive.

Oh I found out the issue with the speedometer was that I exported the kn5 after using the auto-tool, a re-export from a fresh import got it lined up to the ini. But it's too late all the numbers are different so the speed's still fairly relative.

I don't think it's particularly necessary, but cutting out along the outside edge of the rubber seams helps me a lot in figuring out the lines.

EDIT: And some more progress.

EDIT 2: Sanity check in solid mode + simplified unneeded stuff away. Can't stop won't stop, but I gotta take a break and do some stuff.

I'd imagine weighted normals is the bee's knees when doing wheels for example. Very easy to get flat areas and sharp round edges edges without having to add any supporting edge loops

 

[garyjpaterson]

Obviously super basic but quite pleased with the stuff i do have done so far, i can call it a track now anyway.
Bit tight for most race cars, street cars cope much better with the hairpin.

Try some gifs:

Or not, mp4's instead then:

Is that some sort of Yamaha/Rossi livery? I don't think I've seen that one before, cool!

Yeah its a fictional yamaha livery, i just added the motoGP sponsors and Rossi's number as I couldn't think of anything else.

Okay, now THAT looks entertaining Hopefully we'll get a few more Formula E tracks (real or fictional) someday soon (Shamelessly suggesting Bern, Switzerland, for example )

Personally I don't see myself attempting an IRL track any time soon, being fictional really lifts any pressure and expectation from the project meaning I can just focus on learning the processes.

Absolutely respect that – still curious to see what you come up with

Formula E tracks

Sorry but

Kind of coming together. I'm gonna stick to big, obvious plane changes for now and then after I apply subdiv (When I'm sure the shape is only minorly off...) I'll actually shape up things to be more representational. But for now, quite ugly topo and forms.

Not the first time it's ingame, but it is the first time for this level of completion.
A bit turdy because of box model + subdiv still active, but I like it so far.
