Assetto Corsa.... Where the hell are you guys, you're missing out!

[McGherkin]

Time to get your CAD pens out and start drawing up a HQ 182?

@SharkyUK you want the original files for the clio v6? i converted it over if you havent realized lol

btw nice work.. !

btw nice work.. !

Thanks mate

Yeah, I might just grab those files from you if you don't mind. I took the existing V6 model and reworked some of the mesh topology last night just to apply some smoothing groups here and there (to remove the faceted edges seen in my previous render). Here's the result...

 

[AzNdevil]

ok i will upload it later.. just got off work and not near a computer
you may as well send me the updated mesh so i can use it in the game lol

I can send you the mesh but I don't have access to any decent 3D software at the moment (away from my main workstation). I am literally using Blender and .obj files. The .obj files are obviously old and crap format but it's the only format I've had time to support/write software for at the moment (in terms of my rendering software). I can export to fbx I believe but I won't have preserved all the data that you probably need... it might result in more work as I've munged it to fit my own needs. I've changed the material properties, etc. too so you might not get the results you expect....! LOL! Plus there's still a couple of things I need to fix. Up to you though; I can send you the mesh at some point if you wish.

Christ that looks good!

I can't claim credit for the model but cheers

Thank you - will grab it asap.

 

[AzNdevil]

hmm dont worry about it then,..too much work for me to realign everything:tongueclosed:

the model is from forza ive been told

anyways i am redoing the clio 172 atm
cant get the body curves quite right with the vertice layout i had

plus im dropping off the real car at my garage for mot so hopefully i have more time to work on this

Maybe you guys should team up?

Yeah, i think they work VERY close already....

Loooooolll.....good to hear!

lol i almost choked on water when i saw your reply... anyways i have you guys to help me:up:

preordered already....the ring would be fun to test the clio on if it eventually comes out:smile:

 

[SharkyUK]

Apologies for the whoring but some decent models on racedepartment. Wish I had more time to get involved

these are really nice...keep them coming! btw you mustve redone or adjusted the uv? i don't think the original was this nice

don't know if its the model or your software, the circled bits are weird

Thanks mate. Regarding the UV's, I've not touched them at all. The only tweaks I've made are to the mesh (to remove duplicated verts and recalculate smoothed normals) and to a few materials (to change transparency, specular / shininess and so forth). My software is a ray tracer so it calculates accurate reflections, refractions and shadows. Maybe that helps add a little extra 'realism' to the images (although there's not much going on in them at the moment).

Yep - you are correct; those areas you highlight (and a couple others not visible in this render) need a bit more work. In reworking the mesh a few problematic areas popped up which resulted in vertex normal irregularities and mesh densities falling too low (in places where more fidelity was/is needed). The fog light surround also needs reworking.

 

[bozothenutter]

Any way to get these inproved models in the game?

well since this is a render...do a turbosmooth with 3dsmax and it should be better?

the model should look even better in renders/game if i put it through a tri-to-quad script then do a subdivision
but i can't be bothered :tongueclosed:

I don't know what the process is mate unfortunately (and I don't have time to look into it)

Nissan Primera (BTCC)

 

[AzNdevil]

I don't know what the process is mate unfortunately (and I don't have time to look into it) 😧

fbx export with the part structure + dummy objects to determine location, AC ksEditor to assign shaders to the textures, shader configuration, export as a kn5 file, done

[emoji15] [emoji47] [emoji50] ...whhat?

 

[AzNdevil]

failed my mot...stupid airbag light came on during the test...so i got failed report and the data i want in return...

why the front right/rear left side brakes better..i have no idea...sticky calipers? fucked bias divertor? ideas guys?

 

[SharkyUK]

 

[AzNdevil]

good job sharky! unfortunately i don't have that much time to work on the clio as much as i'd like...
ive been working on the real one myself....

Can I share these pics on the Assetto Corsa forums? I think the creators of the mods will appreciate it.

Yes mate, please do Thank you.

Last Mazda render with another livery change.

 

[McGherkin]

So when are you going to get to work modelling a 182 and putting it in various sims?

Be lazy and use DAVID

[AzNdevil]

lol honestly im just hopeless at modelling....its not all that hard but takes a lot of patience and experience
but im still playing with my real car so no time to work on this

 

[bozothenutter]

Anybody seen this?

It's payware...yes and the guy is a bit mysterious.....but the cars are gooooooood!

 

[Adamm.]

This is meant to be coming to consoles at some point. Not sure if it's been mentioned already.

More good driving games for consoles :smile:.

you can download most of the cars on here from youtube links

that explains the questions I got about sharing video.....I thought the guy was a bit paranoid

the cars are converted from other models anyways according to the post about it on assetto corsa forums so....

Ignoring the 3D models and rendering I've talked about earlier in this thread, I've just started playing the sim/game. I haven't put many hours in yet (I don't have time unfortunately) but what a fantastic game. It might not have the visuals / audio of Project Cars but the handling / feel is a different league. This has pretty much made my mind up to get a sim-racing rig sorted next year in my man cave!

RSeat RS1. Good piece of kit. PM moi.

 

[John Gordon]

I just use a playseat challenge with a G27. It folds away so can be stored away nice any tidy.
