Looking great.
Btw I've been thinking about replacing the gui menu garage background with a showroom with rotating plate. Very much like in your pic here. With a 3D VDRIFT logo on the background wall. The room itself should have an open look with curved walls maybe. Something clean and minimalistic to keep loading times low. Any interest?

Yes Sir!I've done the modeling and now it comes the texturing.It will be nice to be able to rotate the car with the mouse and some zoom in and out would be nice.I will post a screen shot as soon as i get it textured.

Still work in progress and i want to know if i go in the right direction.
RE: WIP Cars - NaN - 02-26-2013
I like the raw concrete walls. The reflecting turntable is also great.
Make the room a bit larger. There should be maybe 3 meters towards the walls.
Replace the ceiling wood texture with something neutral, concrete, light gray maybe.
Remove the floor and ceiling lamps, too distracting. Simplify the central diffuse ceiling light(circular area). Remove the decorating elements and inset it into ceiling by a few centimeters. The ceiling wall lights could also be inset, hidden in the ceiling. We want to see the light but not the lamps.
The viewer attention is on the car, thus the idea of curved soft surfaces without distracting details.
I hope you are still with me.

Any better?I didnt quite understand what you meant by "inset" and how you want to hide the lights.
RE: WIP Cars - NaN - 02-27-2013
Wow. Much better. The walls are a bit too dark now though.
With inset light I mean, that they should not be protruding. I think the correct naming is recessed light: "When installed it appears to have light shining from a hole in the ceiling, concentrating the light in a downward direction as a broad floodlight or narrow spotlight."
The banner could be replaced with VDRIFT 3D letters on the rear left wall segment. Or inset into the wall?

I am having fun!
RE: WIP Cars - Timo 6 - 03-01-2013
Great work! Just to say the right hand part of the V should be straight (parallel with the D). The font is called Contour Generator I think, with a few bits filled in.

RE: WIP Cars - slickx - 03-02-2013
Can any one tell me if it is a LOD system in vdrift ?and how it works
RE: WIP Cars - NaN - 03-03-2013
No LODs yet.
But you can provide lod models as <model>_lod<n>.joe:
body.joe
body_lod1.joe
body_lod2.joe
Maybe?
