I'm guessing they're won't be a lore-friendly version? It's ok if not.

'01 hirochi sbr4 predecessor- Hirochi Sbr2(based on an automation export)

drives well, and it has an edited jbeam(only issue is that automation models are high poly, so it doesn't crash insanely well)

Biggest problem right now is the textures, if anyone has pointers or help with this, I'd love to learn because I have no clue what to do to be honest

Looks nice, but it looks too modern for a car made in 2001. The taillights and headlights look outdated, too. Take inspiration from cars from older Burnout games.

Nope, there will not be a lore-friendly version. However, I asked that when it was just a tube frame, so things might've changed from then

Not interested in doing lore friendly stuff, only did the ultrabump for the memes because the thread was inactive for like 6 years.

Nah the turbos might have obscured the icpipe to the intercoolers tho, which this setup is actually more compact than the vanilla one.

Haven't really posted any WIP stuff over here forever so probably time for a catch up post, been working on tons of larger projects recently

First of all, the Yakuza map ports. These haven't really been the main focus of map work for a while now (for reasons you'll see in a bit) but big things have still been happening over there. Yokohama is finally getting close to release now that what I think should be the final load of model work has been done, which means the latest optimisation stuff is in and all the broken uv maps just need flicking to the correct ones, as well as some general map cleanup and night light polishing before it can be released.

The all new version of Kamurocho is much earlier in development but starting to take shape, I've done most of the map cleanup and it's currently awaiting having all the models properly processed to sort out uv maps and apply the latest optimisations. Still needs lights, ai, further cleanup but it's a solid start.

However, the yakuza stuff hasn't been the main focus because of these, the Infra map ports. These are something I've wanted to do forever and together with Car Killer (again, of course) have been making decent progress on over the past few months. We've got a fair few maps here, ranging from some of the "larger" (still source engine lol, don't expect The Crew) maps, including the unfinished and cut from final game driving section maps, to some smaller showroomy ones again.
These have a ton of fancy features (mostly Car Killer's magic, as usual) with the highlight being optimised jbeamed dynamic props (on some maps anyway), for that extra level of "this map for the driving game is best for the walk mode". A showcase of this on the castle rock map was posted a while back here by Car Killer so go dig that up to see this in action

for where the saab is from, see below
These are complete for the most part, though there's still a big chunk of modelling for me to do on one of the cut maps (great fun when it's all hammer brush models in separate files). Expect to see these released soonish (maybe) (hopefully)

Now for the other main project, traffic stuff. For the past many months I've been working on making realistic traffic vehicles, with lots of time put into seeing just how much performance I can squeeze out of the models and jbeams and stuff. Which I think I've been successful with, I've had Car Killer running 60 of these with a solid over 30fps on an alright cpu (which I don't think anyone has ever really managed with normal vehicles at the moment) and I can manage smooth gameplay with 15 which isnt too bad for a very much aging 7 year old quad core, definitely so compared to stock traffic. All the models are below the 100 drawcall mark and everything uses as much generic data value materials as possible, so I can have an entire pack of vehicles running on only a few megabytes of texture memory. Models are the only real expense for file size and this is a limit I can't really do much about since dae is inherently just not very efficient for this. 2.57gb of the 2.67gb of files total for all of this stuff and related experiments I have is purely dae files. I posted a video of messing about with these a while back on youtube and I think a couple other people have shown them too (see the Fairhaven map teasers), incase you wondered what that was then it was this project.

There's a few versions of this I've been working on. There's the "main" mod, which is all real cars from every optimal source I've collected over the years, covering multiple regions and is still very WIP. I've ensured that I should still be able to release it one day and made sure nothing is stolen from individual creators and modellers, though lots of these need lots of work still so won't be seeing the light of the forums for a good while still. Vehicle choices are mostly decided by what's the most common to see in everyday circumstances in standard american and european cities (mostly focusing on places we have in beamng right now, so lots of italian focused stuff atm) based on highly scientific poking about on street view research.
However, I've also been dipping my toes into making map specific traffic, the main one of which at the moment is traffic for the yakuza maps. I've gone and ported the majority of the traffic vehicles (hoping to have all of them for release, still a few to go) based on the same optimised traffic base for traffic on the yakuza maps, which doubles as working quite well as a generic japanese traffic for the C1 Shuto map and stuff. This is nearly complete so should be releasing alongside Yokohama whenever that's done. I'll also be doing an expansion for hawaii, whenever we get round to porting that but that will be a fair bit away still at the moment.
I have tons more plans for the traffic beyond this too. At the moment I'm still working my way through my existing supply of vehicles, both modern (from 3d configurators and stuff) and older (from games, mostly forza with a side of gran turismo) and once those wells run dry I've got plenty of other models that I'll be dipping my toes into retopology stuff to make. There's then more map specific stuff, which includes the need for speed pack mentioned in the future plans on the Fairhaven thread, which currently is not started or highest priority (see: all the other stuff I've been doing) so won't be coming too soon (you can stop spamming that thread asking if it's done yet or saying its not possible now). Also planned to go alongside the main mod are what I've dubbed "service vehicles", stuff like police cars, ambulances, bin lorries etc to break up the onslaught of crossovers and add that extra level of depth to the realism.

And last of all, because when doing this I realised the stock traffic systems aren't quite up to scratch for my needs I then went and learnt basic lua and imgui for the sole purpose of making my own fancy tool for it all, with much bugging CK about syntax and what all the functions are called here. No way near done, some of the listed options don't function yet and theres lots more features and ui changes I want to make but it's a start

Yo no joke im looking forward to this traffic tool you're making cuz honestly with traffic in beamng imo makes the game more fun (though my current laptop is at its end with storage and stuff). You need to make a seperate thread for the tool just in case if we ever want to download the mod by then (take your time on it and always offer help if you need it to get more progress). But ye, anything else we should expect from the tool like new set of vehicles like vans, trucks, buses (I watched yours and car killer's vid on it and only saw just cars and caravans), or anything new you put into it? Keep up the work AgentMooshroom5, Much love.

Not dead at all but there's been some changes in plans I've been meaning to post so this is a good excuse.
The first version of the Yakuza traffic pack got released a week ago alongside the Yokohama map here and I still have plans to improve and add to those, as I have learnt lots over the past year or so since I started the traffic projects so lots of the earlier stuff has now fallen behind (and I don't think I ever finished the full list of vehicles there tbh)

The biggest disruption here has been experiments with and then following realisation I can actually just model things myself from scratch (after a few breakthroughs in reference sourcing), which has meant I'm no longer really constrained to existing usable model sources here, which then means that my plans and ideas for what I want to add for all the packs have shifted a bit as I now have basically the whole world of Stuff available to me now. This also means I can't pump them out quite as quick as I could before but also means the quality will be upped a fair bit, and I can expand into other areas I couldn't really do before but wanted to (japanese traffic, because none of the weird stuff I wanted I could ever find models for that I'd ever be able to release before)
Since that's a boring ramble, here's some shiny pictures of recent traffic stuff I've modelled instead (with levels of Regular Traffic misery previously impossible from purely racing game selections)

(yes swaces are actually pretty rare but i'm not skipping that opportunity while i'm at it)
(seicento modelled by ezo not me but it was for the mod anyway so i'm including it)
And the current traffic project in all its half finished glory (facelift is also coming i just havent got to it yet)

Current plan is to go through and update the current "old" lot and bring them more up to scratch, finish up a few of the other cars I never got round to for those and then get it released as a version 1. From then I'll start drip feeding in my new content with regular updates I guess, because if I tried to exhaust or even put a dent in the wishlist first it'd never see the light of day.

Which leads me on to my latest distraction, with my new found modelling abilities I've finally been able to achieve the dream of modelling and creating the world's finest* automobile.

Still heavy WIP of course. I don't think there's enough information out there in the world to be able to faithfully recreate it 1:1 so it's a glorified traffic jbeam with some extra nodes and an attempt at realistic powertrains tacked on (these do not work right currently of course), complete with lower poly interior and underbody (that i need to redo and am slacking off). I'll dump this on the forums whenever its in a vaguely reminiscent of complete state because there is no way I am able to ever excuse this one as a traffic car.

Sunstorm Coupe with new lights (from eSBR) and rear bumper redesign (minimized model clipping between the lights and the rear diffuser vents), tailgate openable not done despite I have tried multiple times about adjusting the spoiler's position and the lights nodal position (cancelling the node move slots) and the tailgate refuses to open.
