    Hello guys, after some time sworking on this project I decided to post something on this forum to maybe find some help transferring that car on rf2

    I wanna thanks Onno Van Braam (theblueprints.com) for providing me the material needed for start modelling

    After collecting tons of images, I started modelling the wheels, then body shape, mesh refining, details add (almost simple mesh + texture) and this is the result (some render in vray too)..

    Final model (clay material):

    Now, I've started the shading and transfer to rf2 but this is the hardest part for me, because it's the first mod i make and I a bit in trouble eheh
    I hope to going on with it and post something soon!!

    Cheers,
    tommy86@VRG

    BELLISSIMA!!! :D

    Ok...we need to talk in eng here...:p

    What is your actual polycount? Maybe could be usefull posting a standard wireframe viewport to understand something more..

    Ciao!

    the model is about 200k polys weight, dunno if rf2 can handle it easily or i need to lower it a bit. You know something about that? :)

    Too much imho...:)

    rF2 can handle it...but if you have a complex track and a lot of cars I don't think so...:)

    BTW, are you using NURMS with iterations?

    PS: do not count tires on your polycount as you need to model tires with a standard procedure for the flex/deform technology...

    That looks awesome.
    200k is far too much indeed. I could build a track out of 200k polys! ;)

    mmh i think I need to make some optimize so eheh

    it's all poly modelling and then 1 smooth iteration to refine shape. i modelled also bofy cuts with maybe oo much polygons...maybe i can use a texture instead of geometry but I wanna first try if it can be useable like that :)

    Btw thanks all :)

    In my opinion 200k isn't to much. I would love to see cars in rf2 so highly detailed :)

    You will see in the future few cars with similar poly count.

    Cars from Forza and Gran Turismo also have big amount of polys and note that consoles aren't so strong as our PCs :)

    @tommy86
    You can do a test, try to run rf2 with 50 cars and you will see how it works.

    BTW.
    @ethone, my track have almost 1 milion polys and the next one will be bigger :p

    Keep in mind you don't need to use meshsmooth everywhere because it creates a lot of unnecessary polys ...so you could apply MS just only where you need more organic shapes...and remember that tires models needs to be modeled for the deform/flex feature, so I think you can save a lot of polys here. :)

    BTW, great job!

    @feels3 I'll definitely do it after i'll able to insert it in game eheh

    I'm still having problems with some gmt files that make rf crash even opening the showroom, so I'm trying to figure out what is the problem...

    It's an enduro car that runs in huge fields. I still can't run the Enduracers mod at Le Mans with more than 34/35 cars in rF1 before I get corruption pesumably from memory overflows from too many car models.

    I definitely want to run that R18 in a big field and 200k polys probably won't let me do that. :)

    And that mod is even very well optimized. 200 000 poly car is great for showroom, but not usable in any multi car racing situations.

    Handling 10.000.000 polys of cars (50cars*200k) is a SCI-FI situation...:) NO WAY.

    He can use agressive loding :)

    Also it depends how many polys is for exterior and interior.

    If you have very detailed interior you are seeing the only one interior while driving :)
    Interiors for rest of the cars visible from outside can be very simple.


    So with 50 cars actually it's not 10 mln polys visible in the same time but much less :)

    So, what is the optimal polys number for a car like that? 50k max?

    I'm gonna start deleting some details (maybe you can't even see it in game) and reducing body mesh.

    Thanks

    Of course you could do so that when FULL graphic setting selected you see the absolute super detailed 200 000 poly cars, but for HIGH/MEDIUM setting you get normal usable cars.

    As few as possible for best performance but as many as needed for proper quality. ;)
    I'm no car modeller but stuff like the rear winglets in the rear light openings could be four polys or so, with proper normals you can make flat and non-prominent (won't work on the wheel arches) parts appear slightly round without spending more polys.
    On the front/rear shots the grid is part of the texture right? Your wireframe mesh is much tighter?
