Last rides with high stakes

[Butch]

Thank you.

noise -> The only trouble I had was with Rfactor community. At the beginning, GT Legend had only 2 addons cars rather perfectible. Their authors gave up the game and turned on Rfactor. A game with the same graphic engine and with many modders. I asked few of them some advices and they told me I was a nuts to mod on GT Legend. I didn't give up and ScottC decided to honor me with his immense talent as a physical model setter, and DuckFreak took care of the sound, big sound. Later, Greg became my partner in crime. I still haven't come to terms with the rotten reception I received in that game.

Cooya! -> The 3000ME would be fun but today the polycount is around 18500 triangles. see below ..

and I have some other project to create before.

[noise]

I hope you get rid of the grudges, and work more peacefully for nfs4.

The AC 3000ME is a cool car i.m.o. But nothing is cooler than a Cobra I guess. So the 3000ME wasn't successfull.

It's a real pity that High Stakes almost can't stand 18k poly models.. The game itself supports it by now, but not the engine

[bfut]

Thank you for your comment which sounds like support. Without NFSaddon, I don't think I would have started this last, long ride.
And with Agent Mulder, Mike, LRF Modding, Remko, and every people like you, Noise, Cooya!, Spectre, EvoX .... * who write here, in my downloads or showrooms and show the community still breath, and don't reject my work, the ride isn't ended.

*Sorry for those I didn't quote

Huge fan of your work. Your screenshots show you work with Blender. Have you tried my FCE I/O Plugin for Blender? (link in sig) Do you feel like anything might be missing from it for you to start using it?

Today i've created an own cop.fce out of an existing driver model from a Dodge Charger Police.

The officer models require use of multiple texpages which is now quite easy to do. Hit me up via DM.

[Butch]

Thank you.

I use Lightwave 3D (+ carcad + zmod + fce finish), so no, I didn't use this plugins, sorry.

[Butch]

On the track

[Cooya!]

Hmmm... Looks very good!
I am just not too sure if I like the fact that the spare tire and the leather straps in the back are glossy now. They had flat materials in the showcase pictures and I think that flat is better than glossy

[Butch]

It's some old pictures.

The next in line are two Italian cousins, who look like twin sisters and are particularly popular with Mr. Spectre.

[Cooya!]

Ahhh... so it´s time for some nice 60's concept cars again: "Ferrari 250 P5 Berlinetta Speciale" and "Alfa Romeo 33.2 Pininfarina"
Nice choice! Although I would not mind some japanese concepts like the "Mazda RX500", The "Nissan 126X" or The "Toyota EX-7". These cars are sooo underrated and were sooo present in my "Matchbox" car times

[noise]

I could sum up everything I like about AC A89 and all Butch's releases but that's a long and boring story I suppose.

So here's a list of things I don't like.

-Both the Shelby Cobra Daytona and the AC Le Mans have plain black tyres.

-Dax Rush (tasteless replica of the Lotus)

Or 90's and early 2000 concept cars that deserve love too.

As for Butch mentioning the Ferrari 250 P5 Berlinetta Speciale and the Alfa Romeo 33.2 Pininfarina, oooo those are delicious cars.

[Butch]

In my defense, Your Honor, both cobras (427 and Daytona) and the AC coupe have the same tires.
An update of these elements is planned, but it's a tricky job that requires fine-tuning on 3 textures while keeping to a reasonable polycount.


The Dax Rush was commissioned by an owner of this car. I don't like it either.

I plead not guilty.

[noise]

@Butch: there's room in the .tga for some tyre-texture, but because it's 512x512 it gives a blurry result 'in game'. I hope you can manage it.
