Can anyone comment my physics please?

Honestly, I don't think your physics and my driving style will ever be compatible with each other - at all.

The oversteer is only less because the balance is less (or it feels that way.)

[Lukeno94]

Oh dear. The GT6 failed miserably in-game, it looked vaguely OK in careditor... Looks more like a Hillman Imp (red, green and yellow cars). At least the MGB (white/turquoise) and MGC GTs (black) look OK, if missing their chrome bumpers.

[XYY]

What do you think about this early ferrari Testa Rossa?

[Haruna]

I couldn't do it any better.

[Maxaxle]

I'd like to make another version of the Z-Type, but I honestly can't do that without feedback.

[Trigger Happy]

The second version is very nice.

[Maxaxle]

The second version is very nice.

I meant that I needed feedback on the newest versions, especially the physics.

[Trigger Happy]

Tested:

Bugs
Wrong colors chosen (more read here).
Use normals button in Lightning mode in Model window's view.
Left fender doesn't share vertex with grill, you can save one (13 X 17).
Poly order is wrong - the higher on model, the more on right should be in order or it looks messy in game.

Proposed model improvements
Front window still isn't on half of model like the GTA pic - try to move front window for 0,15 closer to front.
Try to close rear fender by adding poly to join it with bottom-end of body (9 polies remains).
Front hood looks too thin in game, try to move fenders' vertexes, which touch the hood, on about +-0,35/+0,3/+1,1 and fill the gap to hood by 2 more polies.
With one remaining and one saved vertexes and 9/5 remaining polies you can add a gray rear bumper.
Maybe wheels can be bit smaller.

Physic
Works well, I had fun while testing.


Enough?

[Lukeno94]

I like how no-one commented on either of the last two pictures I put here.

@Luke

Don't remember what the black car on the latest your pic is, but it looks very good

[Lukeno94]

MGC GT that one is, thanks

[Maxaxle]

@Trigger Happy: Thanks! But...

Poly order is wrong - the higher on model, the more on right should be in order or it looks messy in game.

How do I change the poly order without deleting everything?

Try to close rear fender by adding poly to join it with bottom-end of body (9 polies remains).

I'm not quite sure what you meant by that.

Everything else is done, so here's the updated version...

[Krisu]

@Maxaxle:

You can move polies by the two arrows just under the poly slider on the top left of the window.
And as Ivo/Trigger Happy said, put the polies that you want to appear over some other ones higher on
the list, by moving them to the right

Example: the roof polies should be at the rightest, then the windows, etc...

Hopefully this helps

How do I change the poly order without deleting everything?

Use this button to move it into other place in the order:

I'm not quite sure what you meant by that.

Poly joining vertexes 12, 20, 21 and 11, 24, 26.

But about the colors - same goes for using the 0-4 types - e.g. 1 is not good choice.

Thanks! I'll have an updated version up sometime tomorrow (as it is late).

EDIT: Finally got around to editing the car.
1. Got the polys in proper order (I think).
2. I couldn't find the poly from 12-20-21 or the one from 11-24-26.
3. Assuming colors 0-4 are not good choices, BUT I want the primary color(s) to be the player color, what do you suggest?

In the meantime, I present a redundant update.

[XYY]

Please leave some comments I struggled with the Audi, but I think the result is acceptable

[Haruna]

Why do I keep making cars when you'll just end up one-upping me anyways ;_;

Better than both of my R8 LMS models ;_;

[XYY]

I guess it's just that you always tried to make holes where the wheels are so that you have less vertices for details. I couldn't do it like you do it
But thanks for your positive comment anyway. Other thoughts? (except that I could maybe release sth. )

[Trigger Happy]

Truth. A small hint, if you have somewhere deep inside you a small shadow of ambition to be carmaster once - I recommend to get inspiration from Masa's way of release of car project by small bits when the bit is done rather than releasing one opus magnum during your career.

[Lukeno94]

*whistles softly in response to not releasing one massive thing*

[Maxaxle]

I'd appreciate some help with my Z-Type.

[Haruna]

3. Assuming colors 0-4 are not good choices, BUT I want the primary color(s) to be the player color, what do you suggest?

They are the ONLY choices for player colors in CE palette. Hence, the advice not use any player palette other than 0 and/or 4. OK!?

My recent model.. I even managed to make rear lights .
As you've probably noticed, I'm using quite unusual way of colouring cars . I don't know if someone else is/was using it, but it's my personal invention which I named 'fake reflections'. I use not only colour [0], but also [1] and [2]. In Car Editor it looks quite strange:

vntdr2.PNG (6.85 KiB) Viewed 2399 times

But in GR... very realistic. Compare these two cars in the screens.

shot0015.PNG (14.01 KiB) Viewed 2399 times

The first one uses 'fake reflections' and the second one has normal colours. And the first look way better, because the reflections are more expressive, while the second one looks quite 'flat' and fuzzy.

I'll try to release some cars made this way, maybe in several days when I'll have four or five models finished .

[Lukeno94]

You obviously have a customed car colour setup in CE then, but the model looks absolutely brilliant, good job! I'm assuming it is either a Murcielago or a Gallardo?

[Lorenzo]

It's Aventador, look at the triangle-shaped lights, grille or rear window .
