Thanks, I'll have a look at it.by _Erix_ - Grand Prix 4
QuoteErix,a slight change of topic,i dont know if you are continuing your track specific liveries for the jordan,if not do you know what the sponsor on the sides of the nose are next to the suspension for the us gp?.The Jordan livery series will be continued. It's just that all of our spare time went into the Ferrari. I don't do the painting, I don't know anything about the sponsorby _Erix_ - Grand Prix 4
Oh well... I'm not going to explain again how GP4 works with LOD's but the hi-poly lod's are only used when you drive the car in Tcam or onboardcam view. Just to be clear, My previous cars do not contain that much poly's. I just wanted to stretch the limits of gp4 and my ability to put in as much detail as I felt necessary to make a F2003_GA. And I feel I succeeded in making aby _Erix_ - Grand Prix 4
Oh my god..... I only wanted some valuable feedback from GP4 lovers about the car I made. (thank you Guimengo, Aquarius) When someone shows you no respect, why should you lose respect for him? I don't blame Viper for this, everyone knows how he reacts. In fact, it put a smile upon my face. Why do you take all this so personal? Joostingh, you displayed your Marlboro logo for everyone to grby _Erix_ - Grand Prix 4
Mr Oostingh is one of my favourite GP4 painters. Nice to introduce him to a new audience Wai.by _Erix_ - Grand Prix 4
QuoteWhat a miracle ..... I know, ain't life great Good to hear you're updating the rear part and sidepods of your Ferrari. The normals look really messy at the sidepods, this harms the 3dmodel big time.by _Erix_ - Grand Prix 4
There's a hole in my Ferrari!by _Erix_ - Grand Prix 4
Guimengo The red you see in the screenshots is not the GP4 color. For the ingame shot I just painted the alpha's light-grey but they are too light as you see and ZModeler renders the car different from the game. I believe Duco has the right color, he compared it with many, many photo's. The alpha layer should do the trick. Well,mMy front wing is definitely curved! Unfortunately you caby _Erix_ - Grand Prix 4
Thanks aquaman! @Bob, You can call me Erik, Erwin is a friend of mine, I will tell him to keep it upby _Erix_ - Grand Prix 4
The ingame screenshot from Wai is my car. In fact, it's my screenshot! It's just a copy and paste from the gp4.gamer.nl forum. Cockpit textures are always included. I'm a cockpit driver myself so I make sure they're there!by _Erix_ - Grand Prix 4
I modelled the bottom of the nose from a few pictures of the Montreal GP where Rubens drives without his left bargeboard. I think mine's pretty close to real life. Can't tell from Viper's screenshots how his car looks.by _Erix_ - Grand Prix 4
Although we don't share the same sense of humour, I'm just happy the frontwing doesn't make him cry.by _Erix_ - Grand Prix 4
It's just Viper's way of beijng nice.by _Erix_ - Grand Prix 4
You wanted another screenshot? Duco has made some incredible textures: Hey Viper Are we in some kind of competition?by _Erix_ - Grand Prix 4
The Carshape Master is right. Low lods are always present with my cars. It's a test for me too to see how other PC's handle that much polys in GP4. Mine is handling it fine. I never use hi-res textures and that keeps the PO acceptable. The hi-poly car is lod0 and lod1, GP4 only uses them when you're driving it (except when using the cockpit view). When you're driving any othby _Erix_ - Grand Prix 4
Sorry guys, no joke about the polycount. I just wanted to get this car as realistic as can be and built it from scratch. Now don't get frightened about the PO. I have a duron1200/gf4ti4200 and it works fine. Spike is right, the real PO killer is the hi-res texture not the hi-poly mesh.by _Erix_ - Grand Prix 4
@Peter: Current polycount is 9029. Ghostrider's 5949.by _Erix_ - Grand Prix 4
After three months of modeling and painting our car finally starts to look like a Ferrari...by _Erix_ - Grand Prix 4
About the tcam; we're talking about GP4. In trying to create a perfect shape you have to take some limitations into account. One of them is the tcam. I like my cars to look great in external cam views. That means the tcam view may not be as realistic as should be.by _Erix_ - Grand Prix 4
Great car Wai & Bojan!!! I will surely use it to fill up the empty Arrows slot. Y, you really took beautiful parts from the past and present. I think Walkinshaw would have been proud to have had such a car. About the Ferrari, The fun of a preview is to keep people hungry. The reason there is no texture is because there isn't one yet.by _Erix_ - Grand Prix 4

It's a neverending story... I just visited gp4italia for the first time (the site only works with IExplorer which I don't use) and was surprised to see an update of my Jordan available for download. Duco's name and mine were in the readme file but I never gave permission for this. All I remember is mailing with the guy, he told me had made some livery changes for personal use.

QuoteThe normals are all messed up in places so advice on how to fix them will be nice. Using the normal calculate tool in zmodeler leads to seom unpleasent results. After calculation you should do projection. It projects normals from the main axis. Use the 3d projection (Shift+projection) at 15-25% strength. The normals should be better now. You can also use rotate for fine-tuning.by _Erix_ - Grand Prix 4

Actually John is more like Jan in the Netherlands. It more like lot's of Jan and some Niels too.by _Erix_ - Grand Prix 4
To be honest. I'm too preoccupied with the 2003 cars to do another season. I'm in the 1991-thing just for fun, surely it will turn out serious at the end.by _Erix_ - Grand Prix 4
Apologies accepted. Anyway, the assymetrical covers were used in 'cold' GP's like San Marino and Austria. Too bad they won't use them anymore. I will update them later. But first the F2003-GA.by _Erix_ - Grand Prix 4
I'll send Frank Williams a complaint I've just uploaded the car to grandprixgamers so please be patientby _Erix_ - Grand Prix 4
