The "What Are You Working On?" Thread

[AccAkut]

another WIP snapshot, numerous changes and additions, plus I added some lights to the config
again the lags are only in the recording... can't get it to work correctly

I'm a little "hm hm" about posting this cause it currently has no path to getting released on RD, but I did post some screenshots using it as an example so I suppose I should explain what the model is.

If the BMW was a c-model this is a b-model, slightly higher quality but still just exploring what different levels of effort get for me. I'm not doing physics for it, it just replaces a fugly model on another mod. Unless someone shows up to do stock jzx physics it won't get released at all.

Some progress...

I absolutely like Cresta/Chaser/Mark II, especially JZX90 and 100s.

New models and textures for the marshal posts at Battenbergring. I love doing stuff like this

I love doing stuff like this

I also find myself making more assets than actual tracks at the moment.. way more fun

I double dare you to hide a small slice of battenburg cake somewhere on the track.

Awesome! More cool stuff to aim for and hit when I leave the track balls out!

hi.

I am new here and I guess I can say that this is what I am working on: https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/bugatti-eb110-gt.35178/

I am quite good at digging up all the details and can tinker with the .ini files, but would love to collaborate with someone who is actually good at car modelling. I am well aware that the 3D model with textures is the hardest and the most important part.

Love this car! It was made by the best of the best in the industry back then. Never thought it would be so good to drive until I tried it in Horizon 4, even though FH4 has the SS version, if it is anywhere remotely accurate in physics, that car is just amazing. Really looking forward to more Bugatti in AC; maybe SS version later on too Also glad we are getting more of the marvelous 90's peak of the analog machines.

Should be done with the exterior for the most part, just small things like license plates to add. As with some of my other projects I simplified a bunch of trim level decisions by just following a specific car that was for sale, it had these aftermarket 18" wheels on it.

Adding to quick mods discussion from few posts back, I've been wondering how buying models from legit 3D sites would increase the amount of mods. I found Saab 9-3 Wagon mod and it seems good. Since these models arent cheap, it probably would not increase number of mods a lot. Also, earning/paying money for making mods (all or partially) would increase pace.

Maybe its just best as it is now, a decent number of enthusiastic people just making mods with passion and extremly useful knowledge sharing, with few mods that are being sold and some mods made thanks to money invested. Im definetly against ripping, especially lazy 'factory ripping', and I thank God its not allowed here.

"Legit" may not mean quite what you expect it to mean regarding those sites. (In addition to other complications.)

 

[Kyuubeey]

It might be faster and better to just make the model from scratch than to rework some of those paid models.

 

[aphidgod]

Anyone else remember when somebody ripped models from AC and tried selling them through one of those "legit" sites? Some of them might be game-ready after all... like the WRX I bought 5 years ago that was taken from Forza.

There are no shortcuts. Get good. Put in the work.

There is a shortcut, with a large sum of money im sure you can convince a modder to create a complete mod scratch made. Ive not inquired in years but I expect £1000 minimum and based of the quality you and some of the other modders have produced here it worth every penny

due to a special covid discount, I will do mods at this quality for $250

This still happens. Was looking for a mk1 Escort model for a render a few days ago and found the Kunos model being sold for over €100 on a 3D site. Checked the guys profile and found pretty much every model was there from the game. Tried to report it but it was an unbelievably tricky process. The site definitely valued profit over legality.

 

[ben baron]

I even don t know how those website are legal at the base , as they allow themself to model cars without license or rights agreement from the brands , and try make profit ... and I am not even talking about the modellers in those " factories " which are paid with peanuts probably !


Pb is car moddings, or those website are dealing so "little profit and money " compare to what manufacturers are earning with their images , that nobody cares

Been taking half a break and renewing my obsession with EU4 lately, plus the weather is FAR TOO HOT in the UK right now (come back lovely rain) but I'm still noodling away at the 805. Getting to the point where I'm running out of tris and there's still lots of nuts and bolts and rivets to add, might have to normal map the rivets but I never like how that looks:
