The "What Are You Working On?" Thread

[A Casual Sim Racer]

I'm visiting the Simeone Museum in Philadelphia next week and was wondering if you needed any photos or other information of the 1906 Renault, which they have there.

Pictures and information would be awesome to include as a document along with the model. However, the 3d model for the car is finished and we are currently putting it into Assetto Corsa. Our timeline for Alpha state is April 15th.

I added an exception toggle for STRUT suspensions in the main tab, so that some calcs which rely on that stuff being precise will use new exceptions.

STRUT converts 20% of unsprung mass into sprung mass, then due to being buggy, adds another 20% to sprung mass on top of that, I believe to be between STRUT_TYRE and STRUT_CAR. STRUT also multiplies the SPRING_RATE by the kinematically solved motion ratio of the system ie: 20000 * 0.95 (Which is not correct...), so I had to account for that too...

These will **** up your calcs really bad. I had to make an universal toggle to somewhat fix some of the calcs to a decent accuracy. You should still check in-game after you're satisfied with the overall values because I am making some assumptions like the mass applying to wheel center longitudinal position.

I also added CG calculators. The CG is sprung mass in AC, including the height in apps, so if you're matching to total loads (especially with fuel) and total CGH, this tool will make it much faster to nail the values to reasonable accuracy. You would need to do the same calcs manually anyway, or check wheel loads in-game which is a pain.

Does anyone know if a Super Formula 2019 mod is being worked on?

Arch made new tyres so I had to fire up the ol' reliable and make textures...

with such quality of work, consider starting your own car

Which is also half a good advice, since it can get stupidly time consuming...

well it's Easter after all

i had to restrict myself, and set at 11pm the official limit to close 3dsmax, or else...

and some clay renders
a very satisfying exercise to every new models
which count a bit as behind the scene
you can see some areas more or less covered with bushes, that's all WIP

Union Island doesn't have any "tall" buildings. I took liberties to look at Santa Lucia and other bigger islands (and with better Street View) to make a change of scenery with a more crowded feeling for the main street.
Which did give me more work where i didn't need any XD

To save me some hassle, i tried and make templates i can copy paste to create longer buildings. This way i can bake AO on those, and repeat... hoping it won't look silly once it's all pieced together

Eh, I never really felt the need to make my own when there's a highly accurate premade model available, especially one that's likely better than whatever I'd be able to make Maybe if I really wanted something that doesn't exist yet - then it's a matter of obtaining good reference.
I'm sure I could come up with something at least half decent if I got CAD/laser scan/photogrammetry data or even if I had access to the car in question so I could take reference pictures myself for image modeler.

It's changed a bit since the copy I tested

Amazing work, and an equally amazing rate of progress, too

I didn't want to jump too aggressively on this offer since it's aimed at someone else, and I'm not currently building it, but I guess it doesn't hurt to ask, if you're there anyway. Photos of the Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B Mille Miglia Spider would be nice. Don't know how familiar you are with what's useful for modding, but aside from the general principle 'the more the better' - square, in focus photos of texture details (headlights, badges, surface finishes like leather/turned metal) and photos of weird stuff like into the wheel arches are the best.

What this guy said. And he should know.

Looks stunning, B O'B.

Posted this in the main section of the AC forum then it occurred to me I should have posted it here.

WIP Mulholland Singer skin



Anyone know of a good resource for topo vector graphics? Specifically Southern California, Currently Im using a topo raster image of the moon as a place holder The Singer Mulholland Moon Porsche I'm not much of a car skinner although something compelled me to attempt this madness!

working into a ultra detailed Vallelunga, create with date/information channeled by the Pleiadian masters, correct altitudes, ultra detailed cracks/leak oil/dust into tarmac, will be the most correct version of track up to date.

Only the most professional photogrammetry scans. Now comes the fun part.

Some of you might know about my old damper tool that I shared some time ago in Discords.

That one was pretty terrible, so I've updated mine which will be part of the package I'll share later.

It's not suitable for graphing every single step of CSP dampers or anything (I think an in-game tool is coming for that, actually) because I don't use them myself, but it will do the job for anything that you would make in vanilla AC.

Perhaps in the future I will also add some math to figure out the points that result from the click selected, and then display them on the graph as well. It's doable because the knee speed does not change, as per vanilla AC.

Added in that functionality. The formula was super easy because I have min/max solved already, but it took a while to find...

edit:
oh and the AI attempts are going pretty well

for a cat i mean.

Well done model as always, I really like it.

On a different note, anybody remember a kids cartoon called "The Snorks"? Not sure why I'm suddenly thinking of them...

So I may or may not have build my first track, its a bit run before you walk, but I have been wanting to start track building for forever, so this is my first step.
My goals for first "real" projects are Ehra-Lessien and the Sir Francis Drake Circuit in Madrid
