Hello! Welcome to one of my first content creation projects - a giant inflatable ball. With somewhat recently added buoyancy in the game, I made this idea of mine a reality with the help of several other far more talented people. This massive ball features a jbeam based on a GeoSphere mesh exported via the Blender Script and a soccer ball-like texture created by the amazing Slayersen. Although inspired by Top Gear's car football, this ball is much larger and may prove more difficult to maneuver with a car, however it's definitely possible. Here's a quick demo video that I made. And here's a nice little Montage made by MingoLovesDrive. Credits: Me - Modelling, jbeam creation + tweaking, and initial textures. Slayersen - Jbeam help, encouragement, and model + texture work. Gabester - Mesh improvement suggestions. Blender Script to export jbeam - Exporting the jbeam for this mod. Planned: Multi-drectional Thrusters (allowing for control of the ball without a separate vehicle or F7) A smaller version that's better suited for car football/soccer. Better cameras for the ball I'd like to say thanks to everyone who joined my Alpha Testing group for this mod. Your feedback helps a lot, so I'd love it if you give me some here. Installation: Drop the zip in \Documents\BeamNG.drive\mods and be sure to delete the old zip if you used a version from my Alpha Testing group. Do not upload this mod anywhere without permission. When you ignore this red text and do that, at least give credit.
We need a rocket league ball mesh. If that's legal... Also someone should rip the map from rocket league. If that's legal...
Thanks for the feedback, everyone! Beta V. 0.1 has been released! As I said, I'd like to make a smaller version more suitable for car soccer sometime soon, but this should do for now .
Excellent! We are one step closer to this: Now we only need: A smaller ball(as you planed) A usefull map And splitscreen-multiplayer
Thanks for the credit, to be more accurate I scratched the entire model for a new one with basic textures and an overall appealing look. May need to adjust the texture properties as it looks very plaster like.
You my friend have found one of his easter-eggs ^>^ 3 or more of his nodes have odd or funny names. - - - Updated - - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Did some work on the model used for his prop. Dynamic Reflect Static / Cubemap Fixed Noise - - - Updated - - - What lies beyond the horizon. These are all jbeams I made to replace the old all of which Jack Attak highly approves of. Plus right now I am experimenting with a small hi-res ball [42 instead of 32 nodes] and I have plans to make a large ball that has 42-72 nodes for hi-res fun as well. The large ball is squishy and good for watching it compress when you drop cars on only for it to expand and throw the vehicle in question in a random direction. The smaller you go the stiffer they are made and the better they are designed for more soccer like uses.
Wow this is a very cool mod and looks like a lot of fun. Something like this makes me want multiplayer now more then ever.
