The "What Are You Working On?" Thread

[Ben O'Bro]

i found a bit of TDU vibe with Forza, but still not to the same extent.
The road around the island in the first TDU, taking you easily 45min was a blast.
And discovering the different showrooms as you explored the lands, pretty cool concept.
Now Forza 5 trailer raised the level of realism in the way they made the environnement, pretty impressive. To a point the cars look too clean to be here!

Spoiler alert, you won't be able to buy your cars in Union Island i'm afraid :o
As for the "tour de l'île" If someone makes a bicycle mod, maybe it can take 45min, not even. But hey, CSP showed some first person possibilities, that's the solution...

FH1-2 were definetly more TDUish. AC may not have Hawaii, Ibiza, Hong Kong 1/1, but so many mods give international vibes. Basically TDU/classic NFS/classic Test Drives vibes.

Another minor update on this thing and the previous update - with the usual caveat that it's not much to get excited about:

This image (which may hurt your eyes) shows my little prototype with standings after one round, using a test series based on the Formula RSS4 mod content. Championship points (P) have been allocated in this app based on imported race weekend session log results.

It's super basic but it works, and I've not run into any blockers that suggest the gist of the original idea isn't doable - though at this rate it may take 20 years.

texturing of main buildings and some pit garage stuff

Some modeling on car #2 in my Formula 500 project, the Scorpion. To my knowledge this is the only Formula 500 chassis you can currently buy new -- though the design goes a long way back, originating in a car called the Maverick before being adapted into the current car. The rights to the design changed hands again about a decade ago, and these are now being produced and serviced by Mitchell Racing Services in Indianapolis. This chassis has the distinction of having class front-runners using it with both the newer motorcycle engine, and the old-school snowmobile/CVT combo. Due to AC not having a good way to represent a CVT, I will only be representing the former.

Some more nevertobefinishedware because I am allergic to modeling interiors.

Progress update video going to be posted in the coming days. It lives!

News from the Atlantic.
In my break in the Pacific, i did have some ideas for my missing piece of Union : The harbor.
And while it's still very WIP.. it's taking shape slowly

when it's blurry you don't see it too much, so that's fine by me

see below, missing normals on the bushes and all. No blur no fun.

in other news.

PCH bushes are done.
maybe i overdid them

but it's looking cool
and running well so far !

I'm conscious of spamming very minor updates (maybe I should start a thread? or just... not) - but this thing is still coming along, and is now not too far off being somewhat useful (to me at least).

Once you set up and import a series (a json file) you can import Content Manager session jsons and it will tally up the drivers championship points, sort the list, display the results and show the 'schedule'. That's it for now - still a long way from the original idea, but coasting forwards

Why the 1989 aesthetic? I have no idea.

OMG - looks absolutely amazing @Ben O' Bro

Edit: On reflection a 47 year old man stating OMG as a reponse to something comes across as someone who is a bit of a twit but you get my drift - looks brill

Edit 2: After further reflection I have no shame, it's an OMG from me after all

Looks insane, can't wait! Is this the same PCH that is in v0.9 rn and doesn't really have any details other than basic trees?

 

[Kyuubeey]

When are you going to release it?

I'm not terribly sure, but I would guess when it is done.

Do not worry, you're in good company

 

[Ben O'Bro]

yes.

I could release it now. But that would cause some "meh" reaction in few areas with the lack of details and purposes i want.
And i don't want to achieve a meh
So i'd rather wait and be patient for once.
Apologies to tease with screenshots, sometimes it's good for the motivation to see the people reaction tbh
I thought it would be done by now, but the concept of free time may vary !


@Eugene Abramoff it's the very same, Phoenix working hard at it.
v0.9 was probably not a wise number back then
If you want to see some wet bushes. That sounds like click bait isn't it

Tracks - Pacific Coast

Is it just me or the replay cam is broken? I usually run the Northbound layout and it is as if the cam is out of sync. Can't really say about the rest of the layouts. I remember ages ago when the track was WIP, it was fine but my guess is that when Phoenix updated the layout, he forgot about the...

I clicked it. Its not THAT kind of wet bush... it's the botanic kind

I always love to watch the latest WIP Pictures... please don't stop posting them- there will always be the impatient guys.

My new favourite button in Content Manager. Works surprisingly well and turns something that I've always found a tedious chore into a few minutes of set-up and processing. I did go in and tidy up the lod B a bit but only to save a few more tris, couldn't see anything glaringly wrong with it.

Do we need a separate 3D modelling program installed for this function to work?

@jusk I wouldn't worry about spamming - you're certainly not doing that - but if you do start a thread for it I, for one, would be interested in following along
