Released NZ Ministock 1.08

Progress update:

Running gear meshes now showing up.
Body, dash and fuel tank are now properly mapped and textured.
Working gauges.
Exhaust, hood and radiator now properly jbeamed.
Suspension still needs a little bit of fixing/tweaking. If anyone is willing to, I would like help with the suspension.


To-do:
Fix suspension
Add steering wheel
Jbeam the body shell.
Map the hood and body shell and make them skinable
Make skins
Make different body styles
Clean up and tweak jbeam and anything else
Release

 

That thing looks cool.

What sort of suspension issues are you having?

 

The front suspension/hub is really weak like the wheels will pop off after driving it for a bit, i'm pretty sure it's to do with the steering and both the front and rear are really wobbly unless I set spring rate to around 90000

 

Nice, i just wondering, can we remove the rear bar that protect the rear wheel so we can use nother' wheels in it?

 

I could make different frame options, one with and one without the bar

 

That would be great.

 

looks sick, cant wait for it

 

Progress update:

• Fixed suspension big thanks to @TrackpadUser
• First livery made
• Added hood scoop
• Added wing
• Added steering wheel
• Added driver cam
• Renamed all the nodes relative to where they're located

To-do:

• Add pedals
• Make a second frame/chassis w/out the rear wheel bar to allow for wider wheels
• Model window mesh and jbeam
• Jbeam body shell
• Fix up dash texture
• Model more body shells, hoods, wings and add some fender/side-covers, jbeam and UV map them
• Clean up jbeam files
• Get a bunch of skins made
• Get a bunch of configs made
• Release

 

O

Oh damn, that is so good. Keep the good work!

 

Starting to look pretty neat.

 

Its great to see some New Zealand cars coming this way, I dont think we have had a mini stock yet in the game, we have had a Stockcar before but a ministock is more awesome

 

Also, quick suggestion about the rear chassis bar thing.

Instead of having a second variant of the entire chassis, you could probably just have that bar as an optional part of the chassis.

And it probably doesn't even need any additional beam/node structure.

 

Good point, i'll do that instead

 

Todays progress update:

• New body/hood style which looks so much nicer and more defined than the old flat one imo
• Front Window Mesh
• Side window net
• Added pedals
• Fixed needles being wonky
• Changed rear wheelbar to be it's own separate part
• Jbeamed the body shell finally
• Couple other tiny changes like ref nodes for steering wheel etc

To-do:

• Fix duplicate steering wheel at xyy 0,0,0
• Fix exhaust jbeam
• More bodys, hoods and wings
• More liveries
• Configs
• Massive jbeam clean-up
• Texture clean-ups
• Fix any other problems that pop up along they way (cause that's bound to happen)
• Release

On another note, i'd just like to thank you guys for the support and kind replies

 

This is amazing also that was quick, random question, for a project next year could you make a NASCAR Monster Energy Cup Series™ race car

 

Are you going for an Inline 4 engine for this car or are you going to splash out a little and go for a V6 or a V8 in it?

 

I'll stick to I4 just because i'm trying to get as close to the real thing as possible (and they other probably wont fit) but I was gonna play around with different engines just for fun in my spare time and might release them separately

Thanks, my next big project after my tuner pack will most likely be an old sunburst based on the 98 impreza since i've already modeled alot of it as you can see here.


Not sure how it will go but i'll learn some stuff for sure like I did with the ministock

 

Ah okay well I hope it comes out soon

 

thats impressive, anyway back on topic if you want, I can help make configs for the body styles, just let me know I can't do the previews but I can do the configs

 

You can also put Pigeon engine at it since it's a small (?) and light car.
