The "What Are You Working On?" Thread

[Bakasan]

Tried some photomatching, and modeling in Blender

You are talking about the dashboard I guess ?

I am just a bit confused , you show a pic of the door , but you are speacking about asymetrie ?

 

[ben baron]

I wanted to share this ,

I am literrally blown away by the technique of the guy , using the curvature tool to clean up the surfaces or sections , or having the complete history flexible without loosing quality :o
That model reach almost what we can do in Nurbs modelling , never seen such quality from a poly model :o

What do you think about it ?
I would like to get that curvature check tool script ^^

Nope I am in fact talking about the door panels . They are symmetric of course but have a number of differences between driver and passenger side. Symmetry was the wrong word what I meant was the way that shoulder line is sweeping across the air vent and many other things that are just far away from a simple door panel which make this so much #fun to model . It remains to this day the coolest door panel they ever designed,

Just leaving this clay shot here to remind me what a mess it was once I post the finished leather wrapped, wood covered, speaker grill and chrome trimmed finished product in a few days

Coming from a Solidworks background, the lack of real parametric modeling in Blender has been my biggest struggling point. I work non-destructively as often and for as long as possible, and so far that's proven to be very difficult for me in poly modeling.

Couldn't agree more, this path or spline based modeling with the ability to generate geometry and bend, stretch and proportionately manipulate it afterwards I know from Photoshop and have been searching for in Blender ever since I started using it. Blender always reminds me of the Italians that still hammer a piece of sheet metal into shape

Definitely , Now it is a real pain when I have to work on interior model for any brand of bmw group ;s exept maybe rolls royce , but the design is like .... uncomparable to the 8 you are doing lol
There is so much restriction , carry over parts , and saving costs , that we cannot do anything fanzy unfortunately :s

 

[ben baron]

@stingray_SIX_TWO Your 8 , gonna look insane , I admire your patience for every detail of the car !) , keep pushing

Ha...one thing you can say about the 8 is restriction, cost and conformity were not an issue in its design or assembly. The whole car in one word is 'fanzy'.

I usually don't like wood in my cars but this is going to look so epic guys! Thanks to RJuergen13 for taking this ultra high res shot of a root wood plate and sharing it in 2007 which will find its way into the E31 on a total of up to 10 trim pieces...

 

[arixant]

passively working on this whenever i get bored i guess

 

[SimLiveryDesigns]

Work on KCMG NLS 2020 Skin

 

[stingray_SIX_TWO]

No more unforgiving test track than the Canyons when trying to make a 2ton brute stable and nimble at the same time...it works fine on Autobahn and Shutoko

 

[aphidgod]

Yeah, the canyons will let you know if you've left any rough edges.

 

[AccAkut]

some advances since last post, mostly shaders, textures, track side objects and the white and yellow lines. Plus first go at track cameras by @Leonardo Ratafiá .
Anyone got tips how to set up OBS better for AC? There are still stutters in the recording while the gameplay is actually completely fluid. @Abgefahren you maybe got some tips?

 

[Johnr777]

I think it could be your FPS fluctuating below 60fps too often. Try locking recording to 30 FPS

 

[Kyuubeey]

@AccAkut

Pretty common error, but make sure you're capturing the acs.exe with Game Capture.

Try also switching to x264 encoding. Those seem to work for that particular issue.

I'm working on some private stuff where I have to do the whole solemnly follow references exactly thing, and I can't post it, so I decided to do, for fun, a quick little excursion.

I've said on some of my previous mods to set your expectations low but this time I'm sending that message times 10. This is not going to look as nice as the WRX. Or the Value Van. Or F350. I am getting back to my roots and making a sincere attempt to recapture the level of "don't care, just build it in a weekend" that produced the Reliant Robin. To assist this effort, I will not be seeking out further references (I have 23 photos) and I will not be using advanced image editing tools. The bulk of texture work will be done in Microsoft Paint, with an assist from GIMP on the unavoidable parts (transparency, mixing in AO).

Bit more work done, by this point it should be a pretty easy guess which trim level/bodystyle I'm going for.
