Cars The Need For Speed

[Leonardo Ratafiá]

support for working odometer? (as in kunos m3 e30 via CSP) (I know your answer: I wouldn't care less)
but when you try a car with most of the dashboard lights working, like e brake indicator, ABS or TC, odometer.. you get really blown away. Of course if physics or 3d model sucks it's not worth but here is not the case

Oh I forgot the speedo would be in Imperial rather than metric because NFS was US cars. Nice touch.
At 67,000 miles, that nice old air-cooled 6 is just about broken in properly.

NO.

After some minor adjustments everything looked good so started with the detailing process. Door panels first, to make sure everything fits together nicely.

she's one hot mama for sure!
And every day you treat us with new visuals, and it's pleasing the eyes, and i'd like to thank you for that!

i was wondering, since you model a lot of cars all year(s) long, do you see yourself improving ? Would you say for example you learnt new technique since the diablo, and you find this 993 even more well done ?
Or is it all a very well oiled machine, and you apply the same workflow ?

Thanks! what's up with the Singer in the meantime?
In regards to your question, yes, I'm always picking up something new, even if the workflow is basically the same, I try to find easier and more effective ways to do it. Either by simply discovering a new tool or learning about a new script or whatever helps making the process easier and more precise to avoid spending time fixing errors later.
There's also a constant refinement process in the modeling stages, so yeah, I can safely say this 993 would end up being much better done than previous models.

I imagine that's an inevitable truth for all of us. If we're not getting better each time, something isn't working properly.

Little fun with gauges
View attachment 322046
Textures aren't final in any way, more like placeholders to make sure everything looks good and have something to work with later. Most tricky part of this gauge cluster is to get the curvature right.

muy zarpado!

I can never get over how good A3DR is at texturing.

Not only is he master at modelling.

But those textures are photo realism.

I appreciate the compliment, but.... that's not even textured yet

Basic rear accommodations

 

[hal4000]

"accomodations"...

 

[aphidgod]

"Sufficient for insurance purposes."

 

[hal4000]

That's one thing you Muricans do good in a car, backseat...

Now leave it to Germans to make it driveable...

 

[aphidgod]

If you know what you're doing, you can have way more fun in a big back seat than you ever could at the wheel.

 

[hal4000]

I couldn't agree more...

 

[aphidgod]

Ok, I have the retractable spoiler implemented (thanks Arch, for the base code) and I've gone ahead and made it a setup menu option so you can lock it up, down, or leave it in dynamic mode. At this point there's nothing left to do on my end except fiddle with the files and break stuff.

Saw a 993 earlier today with what appears to be the same color scheme as the one A3DR is working on. I almost shed a tear! So close, yet so far! HAHHAHA

I've been watching this one with interest for a while.
(https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/porsche/911carrera/993-series/?sort=~Price)
AUS $73,000 auto. (yes, I'd prefer manual but they cost $125,000+)

Looks lovely doesn't it?
Why the low price when they normally go for $99,000+?
Read the fine print and it says it was a repairable write off.
No idea of the extent of previous damage but it looks tip top.
Would it drive down the road ok? Who knows!
