The "What Are You Working On?" Thread

artist's impression

this was actually the first thing I changed but there are no gold plated monacos so no reason to demonstrate it. And really it should have a brushed detail map or something but this is just a blank one.

Working with old meshes isn't the most fun, spent more time fixing than creating new stuff

I still have a lot of work to do, but most of the foundation is finally finished. Those pesky Marlboro logos on the side took nearly two hours to fit right on the car! If anybody can post any good reference of the '99 version of the car, I would really appreciate the help.

Just a kinda dirty job of demonstrating it, but satin black with paint fresnel to gold/full chrome fresnel. I followed the original shader in one regard (reflections only start to blur around specularEXP = 8 which is tbh very low) but might tweak that so you can have a meaningful specular spot with soft reflections.

Some investigative help please; Can' anyone identify what laptimer/stopwatch this is? Would like to get some decent pics of it to model it properly.

Edit* Think ive found it - 'RS Pro' Lap Timer, with the logo handily taped over...

Edit2* Modelled See how close you get to Sabine's Nords time!

1 but in the other direction. Would look more dynamic that way

Ugh... When you said "which version do you prefer?" I thought you were saying that each skin was unique in some way. I may have made myself cross-eyed I was staring at those skins so closely. I like #2 as well. Love some reflection from the floor.

When you guys download new cars or skins, do you keep the preview file that comes with the car? I have a CM Showroom Preset that I like (forgot who made it) and I prefer to have ALL my cars having the same look. Slightly OCD, I know. When I install multiple cars or skins I often forget to go into Content > Cars and make the appropriate changes.

Ha ha I’m with you there all the previews gotta be the same it looks tidier that way..

My vote goes to #1. I can't decide if I like this angle better or not, though; I'm drawn to it because it's different, but I don't know if I actually like this side or the other one more tbh.

I've got a slightly modified default scene setup with slightly brighter lighting, driver in the car, wheels turned and the lights on that I use for everything. All skins need to have the same previews for me, too.

I use the vanilla preview for vanilla content and a custom preview for mods...changing the previews for whatever mod or skin I download is the first thing I do before I even go on track.

 

[ltcars]

I use the Retro Lux preset or so and I am delighted

Which plank modelled this? Efforts to remove traces of him already underway on the left side.

That level of quality is illegal in some countries.

Updating previews is the first thing I do when I install a new mod, then I browse RD for new skins (that I update) - best is when they're from real cars -, then I get rid of ugly/fake bundled skins.
