Cancelled Sauber C20 Petronas (stand-by)

Hi everybody !

I currently try to introduce this fantastic car in BeamNG.Drive : The Sauber C20 !



To do this, I found a superb mod created by RMT (Russian Modding Team) for rFactor : F1 2001 RMT

I have taken the car and I try to make a conversion of this car for BeamNG.Drive.

All credits go to RMT for their 3D model (more exactly to Oggo and Fred for this car).

My job is to make jbeams and add new textures.
Here is my current progress :



Contributors in this project:

- Me (Jbeam, texturing, 3D model re-work)
- crashmaster (Jbeam)
- Slayersen (Jbeam suspension)
- adrian2013 (Jbeam)

EDIT :

Some jbeam files works now (huge thanks to crashmaster for his help !) but I must make jbeam file for suspension and my knowledge is so limited to make it right. I have already made axles and there are in the main jbeam file. However, I think it is necessary to modify the axles to fit perfectly with the suspension 3D model of the car. If someone can help me, I could be very grateful to him

EDIT 2 :

I have found someone to work on suspension. However :

We need more help for the smooth running of this project.

 

I'm not that great either but I think you have to add the part in the "info.json"

 

Do you use Blender? If yes, press "Smooth" in the left bar, if there's no bar press "T".

Well since I cannot do it over PM it seems, ahem I would like to volunteer to help with the suspension.

 

have you found any help with the suspension yet? Because that looks amazing, i really want to see something like a f1 in beamng drive

 

I've formally volunteered to help out on the project, I just need to find the time to actually work on it.

So basically yes he has found me.

The project it's self is actually in need of more than just a few suspension nodes and beams.. Every single little bit of jbeam needs revision, editing, and tweaking.

Some may even need to be re written from scratch.

This is why I am having trouble finding the time to work on it as my own large projects have a huge amount of work like this as well.

I have got bits and pieces done, but nothing worth reporting about yet.

I might try to get an extra pair of hands to help me get some work done on it.

 

Ah ok, i would love to help you but i have no idea of modding, so...

 

Well I have the jbeam experience I am just not good at organizing messy jbeam because when I do it myself I never let it get messy.
But since the jbeam that is here to start with is indeed not my own but the original poster's I did not make it so it wasn't made following the basic rules I layout for myself as to make it easy to work with before it becomes messy.

 

Here is some updates about the mod.
I currently work on the front brakes' 3D model. Here is my current progress :


Initial state by RMT :




My progress :



I will continue to upgrade it

 

"Smooth Shading" + "Edge Split" without finalized application would be a recommended change I'd make.

 

No pb, I'll try it.

 

Front brakes are done !





I work now on rear brakes.

Initial state by RMT :



My current progress :

 

It looks good so far

 

I WANNA USE THIS
SO BAD
CANT WAIT

 

Rear brakes are also done !



Now, I must modify the suspension's 3D model to fit perfectly with these new brakes models.

 

Some teasing :



Enjoy

 

Damn! :O Can't wait for this to be done

 

İ hope it is not dead coz this game needs this

 

No, don't worry ! I currently work hard on some modifying on the body's 3D model
