The "What Are You Working On?" Thread

Look at the area around the racing number, you can clearly see the difference.

Yeah, after i pressed 'post reply' i saw it, too. But the difference is not that big.

End of a busy day one after PP3. This livery is one of the most complicated I've ever painted. It's really hard to concentrate if you have to look at such a beauty permanetly

omg not being able to skin until next year is too much, that 917 i want to skin it so badly after seeing these wonderful creations and that fantastic template.

Well if you were looking for accurate G-forces and apex speeds....

Heavy development going on at IER.

That looks psychedelic!
Awesome work.

Is it just me feeling the placebo, or are all cars feeling subtley different since 1.11?

I ask because this thing feels just that bit more lively to me, slides feel a little more natural but also a little more tricky to catch big angles. Anyway, its still fun, and looking better everyday.

Got the suspension arms mapped, been messing with the metal_detail stuff too. Just about getting the hang of this texturing malarkey...

Looking great, but your carbon weave looks way too large in your top pic (sorry)

That particular type or carbon weave is too large, but its just placeholder for the minute.

The floor will have a different weave, which will be equally large but should hopefully look better. A bit like this:

I'll use a flatter looking checkered pattern like you usually see on thin flat, large areas surfaces on F1 cars. Usually the body panels (engine cover) and floor/diffuser use this type of weave, more intricate and structural parts use the denser looking weave.

Right now its just using the same texture, just scaled up. Should look better soon.

Stefano wrote that something about the inertia calculation was changed, resulting in more abrupt changes in force. That's probably what you feel there (as always I had no chance yet to test PP3 myself)

 

[aphidgod]

Also a few changes in the core tire code which will be global as well.

I finished doing the old Porsche badge (all of it by hand blows), and have nearly finished the cars. I won't be able to get it done today because I must leave, so maybe early tomorrow. Trying to reduce the jaggies from the area beneath the headlights.

Playing around with some overgrowth... This section of woods has been interesting to try and replicate what it looks like in real life. It is finally starting to come together.

 

[DutchDevil79]

Great eye for detail as always.

Inertia calculations have not changed. Aris was heavily trusting a value in the dev apps (direct index) to adjust the inertia for cars (instead of getting real values/estimating based on car type/construction). That value was being calculated incorrectly (only in the app, it's not used by the physics at all), so since Aris was relying so heavily upon it, he's having to go back and change the inertia of any car he didn't have data for (presumably most, if not all of them).

There were also some changes to the core tire model (including the addition of a proper rolling radius - which isn't adjustable and therefore just as inaccurate as before - hopefully they address this, and slip ratio calculation changes).

The stripes are redone and 99% ready, number + numberplate are next and then some tweaking of the logos, mainly colors. Yellow tint to the headlights aswell.

Sadly the engine cover is not colorable properly and seperatly, so it will not be red.
And the config that ran Le Mans didn't have that rearwing in the middle.

 

[Fat-Alfie]

Is it just the post-processing that makes it look far too saturated? (or the age of the reference photo?)
This is with a 5° hue shift and -35% saturation just to the red...

It's a great skin though

 

[formulaHEINE]

That shot above is a very dirty car.
The red is actually a strong one, compared with that firetruck at the left.

But using low quality and old 70ies photos as an color reference is not feasible.
I use an Amalgam model car as refenece, which seems to have pretty accurate colors.

 

[garyjpaterson]

@Fat-Alfie Any better?

Will make a better normal map soon, but you get a better idea now. Also a bit stretched at points, uv will need tweaking.

 

[Fat-Alfie]

Sorry - I've sounded really critical in my last few posts

That looks gorgeous, Gary!
