The "What Are You Working On?" Thread

What about the dif and the arms
and even the suspension ... dont i have to do them asweel ?

Kunos make nothing man ,
theres discs and hubs , and nothing else , just a flat floor on 80% of stuff , except open wheelers ,
do not worry too much about it ,
Unless ,
A = your obsessed and you want it doing ,
B = your obsessed like me and you want it doing ,
C = leave it has is and waste the poly on the door handles

Kunos E30 DTM

mainly its texture work on these cars man

as you can see this toy model has more details than Kunos content on the floors ......
Same exact car E30 DTM

Try and find an image of a floor pan , and make a bump map from it ,
or simple spend 3-4 days modelling it all ,

but the bump map is the way to go

fast example , but the way to go

But to make everything i need gary mushrooms and im out of them

But ok i see now i think im going to detail it a bit more than the kunos one ...

Btw i been trying to find a pic of the floor panel but i cant find it !

yeah i looked too , i found a partial pan ,
would be nice in 3d and bake a texture from it using max ,

like you could model everything roughly , use the max NM scene bake it all in say 2k res ,
then it would look perfect , but not that many panels ,
Kunos have official data and pictures and sometimes scans ,
so they have the assets , to simply just use textures instead of 3D ,
we do not have that luxery of BMW support on tap ,
simply model it and bake a texture or model it and leave it ,
but anything than a flat floor is better than nothing , most cars dont have anything here at all

I'd just model silhouettes of the diff/suspension bits so you see the general shape from outside, and just texture it as said above.

For the Transit I'm modelling a lot of it becauee its quite tall with a lot of ground clearance, especially with some roll. For lower stuff like the Focus, it'll be much less detailed as its just not visible.

I would add a very basic dummy engine block and sump, gearbox and diff. Don't bother making any texture for it and make the material dark and non reflective. Something to see when you overspeed at Flugplatz

I have rolled over just a few times in my total playtime of AC.... so I think underbody is totally unnecessary, if you cars are almost never rolling over.

Even if you do roll over you can only see it from trackside cameras (or onboard other cars), not from cockpit view

I make a lot of open wheelers , and there pretty simply underneath ,
I do spend time there , and it his accurate , but most is done with NM and texture ,
3D is nice , but a nice car , there is nothing left to worry about the floor pan

Rather waste it on 3D rivets

Yeah my consideration for what to model is stop when it won't improve the Showroom looks. So I skip details if there's no way to see them from that camera...

I started making more stuff in 3D , simply because the AC editor as 1000 bugs and no matter what settings you use everything looks like garbage , its a joke ,

so now all bolts , rivets and **** get made in 3D , as simply the Alpha settings are not to my quality I expect from my own work ,

but in saying this , except the showroom , and at a few meters distance , what I see as a bug is not visible ,
but the matter it is there , and I can see it and can not fix it ,
really bothers me , to the point where now its all 3D

I've just started working on XJ13 update today haha I think 3D rivets works fine, even though they consumes ~10k vertices :/ 250F rivets looks good, but IDK how to make them like that.

it will be more about sounds and physics though.

Guys, this discussion is epic haahaaaa. I love the comment on the rivets. Big issue in modeling airplanes. I once calculated how much it would add to the geometry when I model the rivets on the F-14 Tomcat, it came out at around 1 million+.

One question though what about pit stops? If ever the crew change the tires you'll see everything behind it. Not relevant for now I guess but was always wondering about that.

planes I would make in NM obviously ,
But cars , nuts and bolts , now in my mind , 3D is a must lol , specially in AC , the sdk settings are really poor quality for me , specially regarding reflection ,

if you make a 1 polygon square , and add any setting you wish , at some point its visible slightly , from the sun at one angle or another , I dont like this bug , so simply make it in 3D

 

[Modek]

Well so far around 5k ...too much ?

 

[mantasisg]

looks really good to me @Modek and I don't think that you will be risking to run out of 125k polys limit, even if you would slightly it wouldn't be a crime.

Can't wait to roll it over haha

what the build currently ?

wow you modelled the tires in 3D lol ?
Bake a texture man using XNORMAL
