RedCarDriver's Workshop

Original first post: I figured that, since I have a WIP topic on GOM, I may as well have one here. This is my latest project: a Holden VE Commodore, made from the Forza 3 meshes of the Pontiac G8, HSV W427, and Holden V8 Supercar. Thanks to Robban for converting the Forza meshes for me. (Pics are the same as on GOM.) A few notes: Since taking these photos, I have also fitted a hood to the W427 front end. Speaking of the W427 parts, interestingly, none of the three Forza meshes line up, because o

Your material settings are amazing!

RedCarDriver

Thanks! They're part Robban_9000's and part my own work, with some advice from Bigg Boss93 added in.

(That said, figuring out how to layer the glass like that is a trick that a lot of people, including JoeAlex, know.)

..and yet people complain that you take your time. Nice job, that looks incredible. SLRR almost doesn't deserve this car.

I saw your comment on GOM must try that. I massively failed trying to use the FM4 defrost line on RPS13 (prior to finding your morsel of advice).

The trick didn't really work that well on window glass, as far as I thought. (My defrosters all still flicker.) Maybe I should try it for that too?

If you want to give the time to do so, if not no worries. I know what's it's like to have time constraints, especially during week days.

And what i should do to make this kind of glass on lights? Can i have a tutorial?

You should do it "3d"(read: flat 2 sided poligon stripes) with a solid texture.

That's really the only and best way to do it. 🙂

Use a tga/dds/png with alpha channel(i suggest the first two formats) as diffuse and opacity bitmaps, then;

Set the diffuse bitmap as:

Mono Channel Output: RGB Intensity

Alpha Source: None(Opaque)

And opacity bitmap as:

Mono Channel Output: Alpha

Alpha Source: Image Alpha

Make sure to NOT instance the bitmap from diffuse to opacity(or viceversa) because otherwise it will... instance the bitmap setup from one to the other. 😉

Very helpful, thanks!

This is exactly what I do. Except, I also draw transparent squares of solid color on empty areas in the texture, so that I can map solid-colored glass to them.

May have to do that - it would be some work, but it might be worth it. Thanks!

Re-worked this S2 steering wheel. May touch up a few small bits later, but how is this?

Wow, the Steering Wheel Look Great.

And what about a Steering Wheel In Alcantara?

Added 1 hour 25 minutes later:

And An ALcantara Dash?

^ just change texture

^ just change texture

Wouldn't be that simple for an end user; I haven't actually textured the whole interior to use anything but the small squares that are normally in use with Forza. That's still on my to-do list.

Holy_Shit_Man

Using plain textures (like in that Gamemodels' pack), and some quick box UV mapping, whole interior can be done in less than 30 mins, if you have separated materials already.

Yeah, I know. I have no excuses except laziness and having other things to do. >_>;

Part of it is I want to make sure I get the vinyl/leather/whatever right, so I've been looking for pics. Aki @ www.r33gt-r.com has been my source for most of that.

Additionally, I might try to set it all up properly so that it could be imported into TDU2, including custom interior colors, if someone were so inclined. (Or I might have to try that, myself.)

Anyway... The final Realism Mode headlight update (before glows, anyway) is coming 😉

RedCarDriver

Nothing? Okay, I guess this'll sit at the bottom of the page then...

The last of the re-done headlights.

Realism Mode: ON
