almost there

got to the point of glowing dials today, and there's only a few things left, then channel members will get early access to the mod, and I'll start editing the video, which will take a week or 2

I'm surprised that this has taken as long as it has -_-

special hinge added

I added a bunch today, and spent most of the day figuring out the unique bonnet hinge... I know I shouldn't have spent so much time on it, but it just felt quite important. In the previous pic it was just hinged on the front of the bonnet nodes, instead of it now being a small contraption. I'm quite happy with how it turned out.

I'm guessing 1 more week, and it should be done :) the mod will go live for members only, and it'll take a few weeks for the video to come out.

finally in BeamNG

after modelling for weeks, I'm finally up to putting it into beamng, and man this part is so much smoother and faster!! it already runs and drives.

That being said, I keep running into materials issues, and I haven't even started on glowmap materials.... that's going to be one of the worst tasks in this whole project -_-

finishing the modelling section

still keeping the brand a secret ;) but I thought I'd share with you, the part that I'm up to. These are the dials in the car, correct colour and everything, and it looked so good, I just really wanted to share it with you.

Next is to polish the chassis model, and then go through the horrible task for baking all the individual materials :(

But hey, after that, I'm finally onto jbeam work, something that should only take a week or 2.

spent most of the day on the steering wheel

trying to keep poly counts really low is hard work. I spent so many hours getting normal masks, and other kinds of masks working too. I censored the name, but the logo and surrounding area is just flat :)

the only scary part is that I'll have to bake all these materials.... which I've done a few times, and always takes multiple days, because it's such a nightmare

plugging away

Been plugging away, and still, if you know the brand, then ;) keep it a secret still. I've had to guess how a lot of the chassis is made, and the rear suspension is extremely unclear. They were okay with me getting a lot of stuff, but they didn't want to give away the actual secret sauce, which is very fair.

Next is the interior, then engine, but that'll just be ripped from other cars, and then I have to give all the panels thickness. Theeeeeeennnnn I'll be getting onto jbeam

work is coming along on next mod video

so if you know the car, shhhhhh, don't spill the beans. I'm slowly working away at turning multiple 3D scans, with permission of the manufacturer, into a full 3D model. So it'll be the first official real car to be on the mod repository!

I'm excited, but not sure how I'm going to title the video, maybe "The first Manufacturer Approved Mod for BeamNG"? If you have suggestions, plop them down in the comments section please :)

It's been about 2 days so far in total (many things got i...

Future Plans for High Polly Tyres Mod

I've finished (for what I believe, sans bug fixes) my self imposed obligations for the first version of the high polly wheels mod. Going into the future, I won't make them purchasable, because I hated having to delete the old versions, to put the new versions in. I may try to find a different solution, which might include reducing the subscription cost for the normal tier, and putting another one in at the cost of the current tier, for those who want to just support me a little more. This is ...

final update posted

the actual final version will be after the devs implement a more efficient way of doing tyres. Other than that, this is the final version that will be put in the post that people bought (sans bug fixes).

There's a new tread pattern (with only a little bit of self acceleration), snowmen and spike-stripes work now, and there are some pre-made tyres for the default gavrip pickup, called "V-Tread" for the front and rear.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I liked making it :)

patchn...

auto acceleration glitch

There seems to be a pretty big glitch with the new tread pattern. The tyres will want to drive you forward without power. If you do add power, then it'll just add a bit more power. It seems to be related to the direction of the tread, because I reversed it, and it went backwards.

I normally wouldn't bother talking about a bug like this, and just fix it, but it seems quite problematic, so I'm letting you know that I'm aware, and am working on it.

small, but quite big update - tyres mod

I updated the mod's post, you can download it again. There's a bunch of changes in it, some of it is testing. The biggest update I have, is the new tread pattern options in the parts selector. Currently "High Poly Wheels New 3 Div" is the best, but there's no adjustable sub divisions on the tread yet.

other things we've done;

- align sidewall nodes, for better deform

- remove f...

tyre update, and my purchase mistake

so, I've been working hard, but first, I should talk about the difference between purchase, and becoming a member. I normally just put all new mods, and any updates to those mods as new posts. This way, everyone gets notified. I wasn't planning to have this one have the "buy" option, because it's an ongoing project.... but I'm a dummy

So, I was planning to do at least 1 patch/update, which has kinda changed into just small feature requests. That will be edited into the current, latest t...

video nearly done

I'm just recording the last part now, and should be edited within the next 7 days ("should" lol)

updates to the mod: I have divided up the front and rear wheels to have separate controls. I'll put it up around the same time as the video.

maths has ruined my brain with this one. I don't think I've ever had to think so hard in my life. This's a big part of why the video has taken so long, sorry

High fidelity tyres | v1.2

bruh, this mod has really taken it out of me!

I took the old tyre contructor, and massively modified it to not only have more physics, but also variable control over a bunch of stuff :)

this took 3 weeks. The free version on the repository will be majorly simplified compared to this one.

to use it, put the zip file into your mods folder, and in your parts picker, select "Additio...

Early Version of next mod

So I've been working on this for weeks, and I've learned a lot about coding, about 3 dimensional maths, and how beamng's had an issue with rolling resistance, and still does, but masks it with an invisible second floor, that does more faking. Can I overcome rolling resistance? Well that's unlikely, but if this mod makes me huge money, then I may pursue it, but that's unlikely, it's already hard to survive with government pay, and the approximate $150 I make per video/mod.

This mod turns...

my current WIP

shhhhh don't tell anyone about this picture! I'm fucking knocking it out of the park right now, and it's almost time to give you early access :) I feel that this is going to go down as one of the greatest mods of all time, whilst also being completely terrible lol trust me, it's bad

Group 5 Miramar Update

simple fixes, and some more complex ones. I've also added the coupe version for your pleasure

Secret mod for upcoming CarMighty video

So the previous post was the video, but here's the mod itself. Sorry I didn't upload it sooner, but only the online section worked, and I wanted to finish editing the video first, which took a really long time.

So to not let the wrong people, in carmighty's video, know what the mod was about, I obscured all of the names and terms. If you want to try to figure it out yourself, then stop reading now, because I'm about to give the instructions.

This is a Piccolina 150 Corse skin call...

Mischievous Mod for Mighty

This is early access to this video. I pitched this idea to carmighty, and after 6 months of back and fourths, and delays, we finally used it. Today we look at the materials section, keybindings, beammp server-side modding, and some troubleshooting... okay, lots of troubleshooting :/

The big things were, how to manipulate images on the fly with button presses, and synchronisation of values over beammp.

IT'S FINALLY DONE! Automation engines for everything

Export your car with the "car name" set to the zip file name of the car you want it for, or common (doing this will make it not shareable on the repo). Or have this mod unpacked, then drag basically everything except the lua folder from your exported automation mod into the common directory in this mod (common makes it usable for every car). I'd suggest clearing out mods when you're not using them.

Now that you've prepped, select your car, swap their engine for the automation mounts, ta...

the practice, unedited, all the pain, the sleep-aid

this is all the difference practice/attempt sessions from the "retry mod", uncut, for your viewing torture. I found it somewhat calming to watch, so here it is, and I'm labelling it as "sleep aid", because I think it is its best use case.

Burnside Indy update

this is an update and fix for the Burnside Indy car that I'd made exclusively for patreon last year. Once of the recent updates broke a few things, and made other things act odd. For its lore etc, I suggest checking the original post :)

the "Retry Mod", the Movie, the Extended Cut, the pain

this is not a normal video, it's from the 12 hours of recording (though a lot was done off camera), but with all the pauses taken out. Some may call this the raw footage. However this unedited video took 2 days to edit

Automation engine swaps for every car v0.7

bruh, this is the longest running mod ever!! It's taken 10x longer than any other mod somehow, for such a simple idea.

I'm too worn out to write out all the instructions, so there's streams you can watch, and I've done them in the order they show up in the vehicle picker. So far the progress is up to the first Pessima.
