That's a cool idea. I could make a widebody based on the base Baionetta for a lore firendly 2.0L Touring Car Championship style car.
Maaaan, they look sooo gorgeous!! As italian, I wanna thank you so much!! --- Post updated --- It's a pleasure being helpful!!!
To be honest, my only doubt was that the design is not Italian enough so I'm glad you like it and I get some confirmation I'm on the right track.
The body design looks very cool, and makes me remember the Alfa Romeo Giulia!! Maybe the car should be a bit stretched imo, a bit more LWB
I'm not sure about LWB but I've been playing around with the B pillar position, moving it just 10cm backwards makes the car look a lot better. Right now the Bastion has a very short front door and a long rear door that almost looks like a LWB specific door. I'm going to post some images tomorrow to illustrate this point better.
Here's how the Baionetta looks with the B pillar pushed back 6cm. I think the new proportions suit it better. Let me know your guy's thoughts on this. Here's a before and after: Myself I am conflicted on the changes. On the one hand it looks better. I've already changed the profile of the exterior door cards to such an extent that they're not interchange-able with the Bastion doors without ugly mismatches in profile (the seams / cut-out shapes are identical though). I'm don't worry about compatibility too much. On the other hand, I can't justify it as a re-badge from a lore perspective, moving the B pillar on a car is not an easy job and highly unlikely IRL. The only way I could justify this is if I change the Bastion to match the Baionetta as well but that might be a bit too much at this point ) Since it's quite a big sedan, it hasn't crossed my mind. I'm not sure if a rally variant is on the table at this point to be honest.
I love it!! What about a presidential config? Made with italian or other countries flag on the fenders!!! Some examples:
looking at the extent of this project, it's already more than a rebadge, so a bastion platform counterpart is welcome aswell, haven't seen anyone do platform counterparts of beamng cars yet
This mod looks fire cant wait but hopefully it has a realistically good v6 sound similar to irl cus the base game v6 isnt that good
Currently I'm going through the rest of the Bastion parts fixing issues and/or deleting parts I don't need. I'm keeping some of the parts like the bash bars, the police ram, one of the rear wings and a few more bits and bobs. I've also saved the fixed Bastion parts, I might release an unofficial patch for the Bastion as well. I'm thinking two versions, with or without the adjusted B pillar location. Anyway, my plan for next week Iis to do UVs and textures and if I have time a quick export. As far as the content goes, what you see so far will be available as version 1 with more later in a version 2. The V6 twin turbo derived from the V10 will definitely be version 2. Already tried that and anything beyond 7cm looks weird. The ratio between the doors still holds but the ratio between the front and rear side glass looks off.
