This car really appreciates these CSP metallics...

If you're using CM, open the car in the showroom and click on the tyre. It will show you what textures are used. Export, alter, and save

Did you start it from scratch or is it a continuation of the existing one? Looks great!

aphidgod · Jul 13, 2020

Just a physics update and CSP config.

(And I guess an update to my skins pack to go along with it.)

And this sim racer really appreciates you revisiting all your cars and improving them

This car is now a-maz-ing!

Looking forward to this.

BUT - Anyone else confused about the new GT2 category though?
GT2 sits between GT3 & GT4... Should be called GT4+ or GT3 S or something...
R8 GT2 has way more power [140bhp more] than the R8 GT3, yet is slower over a lap due to aero / weight?!
Going to make BoP fun I guess!

Fun times. Finetuning bumpyness (which should be incredibly smooth after a recent repave)

, indeed , GT2 has much more power , more top speed , but much less aero than GT3 , so at the end of the lap GT3 are faster ,

I think it comes from having something in between because the gap between gt4 and gt3 is massive , + Gt3 categorie , became so expensive that it is starting to be problem , so those gt2 would be much less sophisticated for the private customers , more affordable !)

What a shot! Are the rivets modeled? Punching through the sheet metal or actually integrated? Or is this a super bump map?

What a throwback to aircraft skinning! Great model, great attention to detail and great use of the CSP features.

Are you looking forward to the new rain effects with drops flying off the edge of the windows/windowframe? Should be epic

This thing looks fantastic. Is it just me or is there some weirdness with the spinning wheel disc transparency overriding geometry in front?

aphidgod · Jul 14, 2020

I wouldn't count on any model updates, guys.

this is @mantasisg 's model I think, if it's not here on RD (again) it should be available over on the ACM forums

and yes that looks like some render priority issue, always quite a headache with alpha_blend and non flat meshes.

AlleyViper · Jul 14, 2020

On the other side the opposite happens regarding front/rear. It seems like the 4 KnockoffBLUR_* objects are active when the blur starts, but the texture isn't visible on two of them.

The outer rim needs to have a different material with the BlendMode set as Opaque, so only the center has transparency, to avoid this issue.
This happens when you use the same material for the entire blur rim, so the entire geometry is set to AlphaBlend.

First skin is ready. This is the title car for the Pearle Alfa 156 Challenge.

With csp it's possible to change blend mode (or other mat params) for a particular mesh without affecting the others using the same material. I'd like to share a solution for Jason via config, but the problem I'm getting is that for the outer center cap blur to show properly, the rimblur musn't have is_transparent=1. But that way, if it's kept with alpha_blend, the brake disk will disappear behind (due to the is_transparent=0 for the rim blur over it). OTH, if it's set as opaque, well, it'll be solid and no brake disk will show behind, which looks bad. I'm yet to figure why it works for only a pair of wheels.
