Garage/Pitlane Project #2 [WIP]

A bit of fun with Unity........... F1 Wars Beta. The AI isn't set up yet so the soldiers act kinda funky, this is just a few hours hacking around, maybe has potential ? Multiplayer Team on Team ?

Haha, it's just a bit of fun to chill out, it may get finished it may not...i know zip about coding, this is all pure hacking current code and prefabs.
I switched to dropbox, my webhost is down, build 2 up....added exploding airtanks.

Thx dude, as usual real life prevents me from putting in the time I'd like, but we'll get there in the end

@Soutsen Ha aha, Rapid fire is on the way, It's quite a steep learning curve to Unity C++, I may get there eventually, If there's any Unity guru's wanting to assist in making a multiplayer FPS Airgun shooter, let me know, currently it's low on my priority list, and I'm much more comfortable in the 3ds Max environment.

Just playing with wireframe renders and previews, those curvy carlights are going to need some serious optimizing.

Just to reassure those of you with a "poly concern" ..... here's the process I use the reduce polygon count to the bare minimum.
It's in no way intended as a tutorial, just a rough outline of the process.

I'll be demonstrating on a toolbox I modelled for the Marussia 2013 garage, here's the victim....



4,808 faces...you could make a track with that




And I'll be turning it into this..... 66 faces.




I use the "Projection" feature of the Render to Texture process ( aka "Bake" ) in 3ds Max, to "Project" the high poly detail onto a low poly mesh.

First thing is to grab a box and throw a chamfer on the edges and position it as close to the high poly without overlap, I've gone overkill on the chamfer because this helps smooth out corners in the RTT proces and can easily be reduced at the final stage, current face count is 170.



Then I unwrap the mesh to make sure there's no stretching of the texture....



Basically I'm just flattening out the mesh...and overlaying a 2d texture.



Now I render out the texture using the newly created UVW map.....as you can see it picks up whatever materials you have applied to your model, diffuse/bump, lighting/shadows, reflections/refractions & specular and flattens them out into a 2d texture.



Then I render out an Ambient Occlusion pass.......



.....and combine them in Photoshop, this basically adds depth to the texture, similar to shadows, but not quite.



So from 4,808 polygons/faces, to 170 polygons/faces, and after removing a few loops we finally end up with..... 66 polygons/faces and still have all the detail.



A bit rough at the edges, I've done no post work on the texture, missed out a ton of steps and used pretty low render settings, which is why the texture is a bit "noisy" but that's the basics of what I do....so no worries about polygons, if anyone mentions polycount again..... I'll beat them to death with my keyboard

Amazing so much work behind this awesome work

I'm a total dick. How many people can say that?

Hahah, don't be daft, it's trial, error, patience and Google....mainly trial and error ,....but thanks for your comments.

I've upped the latest build to the Unity scene and put a couple of stacks of exploding boxes to shoot for no apparent reason until you get bored, (hint, shoot the bottom one it's pretty cool)...still working on AI that fight back
Graphics quality has improved now I'm finding my way around Unity.



Oh....and the gun is now "Rapid Fire"

enjoy...

edit: new controls : 1= Airgun, 2 = Revolver, 3 = MachineGun, 4 = Mace, R = Reload, F = Pick Up Object.

Priority is definitely on finishing the garages, these will look so good in my portfolio, as well as in GP4, Unity is an alien world to me and any attempt nearly always ends up in frustration, I ask questions in the Unity community and I'm either ignored or answered with the assumption I have the same knowledges as the person posting the answer, I'm looking for a "drag and drop" solution
I concentrate on materials and lighting, and even that involves coding of some sort, my mind runs to the other side of the room at the mere mention of C++, some of us are artists, some of us are coders.. I keep trying from time to time, but it literally gives me a headache . If I can get enemies chasing you around the garage that will be an achievement, but that will have to wait until a tutorial pops up that shows me how, or I trip up over it in my hack and slash approach to coding.

EDIT: My hosting server is up and down like a ho's knickers at the mo', let me know if you have trouble with the link.

Back on track.....Redbull 2014











Hopefully I'll find the time, reference, and patience to finish these someday

Nice comeback.

WoW!

The actual season garages don't have any similarity with 80's ones for example...

Great work ram.

How you mean ?

Quick night render test....loads more detailing to do.



F1Dev

Very nice work! And nice render
