My next track for AC, another old circuit from 1950s Germany - Battenberg-ring 12.5km of undulating public roads flowing through the Germany countryside with 123m of elevation change

I love you!

I've still got 2 more to finish, but the new update for the Celica skinpack is dropping today.

This is the correct response. Battenberg is pretty fantastic.

I wish I had never read about @LilSki's and @Fat-Alfie's new projects! now I have to count days till tracks are released and beg them to be a tester...

So far I have the road in place but no physical mesh yet, all the grass verges in place, sculpted and welded to the terrain, a few place-holder TSO, and 64,000 low poly trees (split into deciduous and evergreen areas).

I learned a lot making Feldbergring which has made this project much quicker and easier to do

Can.
Not.
WAIT!


Does this mean that Deutchlandring is being left in limbo though..?

 

[Fat-Alfie]

Thanks . Yes, for the moment . I keep returning to it, try to fire myself up to finish it off, but I lose interest in that track really easily. This says to me that I don't love the layout enough to dedicate the required time to it. It is probably around 75% complete, which makes it good enough for me to use but nowhere near good enough to release, and it's all the tedious stuff that's left to do like fences and 3D grass.

I'm sure it will get finished off one day, but not for now - sorry

On a happier note, I got the low-poly trees in-game with very little effect on performance, all 64,000 of them

^^ Looks incredible!
Sorry to hear about Deutchlandring, I personally really love the layout and it's a shame it's 3/4 of the way finished and all that work might go to waste. I guess mods are a labour of love though, and if your heart isn't really in it then a relaxing hobby can soon become a boring chore. Like most projects, maintaining the enthusiasm can be difficult even at the best of times.

Very much looking forward to this one pal.

Decided to do a Jordan 194 livery for the excellent VRC Jordan 191 for no particular reason at all.

That's always the best reason of all.

Long time no screenshots ... ok that's a slight understatement it's been like 14 months :\

Finished off 1 of the 4 remaining materials that needed a UV unwrap (stainless is now 100%, other than some stuff that needs complicated mirror modifier shenanigans I'll do after the objects are fully UV'd), big inroads on another (the painted chassis) and just starting on the 3rd (nickel plating, rollbar's done and not a lot else which is why the suspension, mirrors etc are temporarily black)... if you hadn't noticed this model has a lot of moving metal parts

Taking full advantage of the new shader that'll come with the car so the stainless hardware's slightly blue and the brass hardware's ... brass. (see eg. shocks and most nuts in stainless, bolts holding everything together brass) It's one of those things where when it's wrong it looks wrong, but when it's right you just stop noticing that it's even varying.

I picked up some shadow artifacting on the tires, possibly due to the Shader Lights Patch, I suppose as an open-wheeler it's pretty fine to disable that though.

you're general PP filter looks rather bleak to me, which are you using?

Again congrats for taking modding a step further with bespoke shaders... could one of them be used to make something copper appear more like real copper? Like these rims?

 

[Stereo]

I use the natural pp filter, I like it best out of the ones that come with the game. I figure it's best if my mods look right in that.

Yeah it works alright for copper, main obvious lack is it can't self-reflect which most wheels do pretty heavily. The E92 rims I posted a few pages back are what cosmis calls "hyper gold" I assume because it's much more reflective than real gold.

^^ This is my most eagerly anticipated release for AC! So great to see you are still working on it It looks fabulous already!

I second that. As a corner marshall I pulled a lot of these things out of haybales and tyre walls, as well as occasionally off the top of another. I love grassroots racing and I'm really excited for this!

@garyjpaterson Food for thought?
