Maluch JBeam rebuild

Floormats_rubber_am.zip has new floormats with dds textures and materials.json, not sure how usable that is to you.

maluch_floormats1.zip has .blend file for floormats.

It was not easy to get them to work, but hopefully they work also when put to vehicle, I did test them as static object for a map as it is faster and easier for me:


Black.zip has black fur kind carpet.

Dashboard I don't know about yet, I try to do that next.

Then other floormats, but it should be easy swap of texture for you then, separating dashboard to part that has changeable color and different patterns, maybe easiest to have that part as own individual part.

 

Cool. this looks like it is going to be great

 

i dont want to be nitpicky but.. i have a feeling that the wheels should be just a little bit bigger

PS: i love the floormats

 

like.. on these images you can crealy see the diffrence..

but its still ok to me :/

 

im pretty sure its the tire's fault anyways keep good work! you're doing amaizing!

 

I'm not sure that using same texture file for floormats as carpet will work as AO, roughness and normals will be way off, light will then look weird on them.

For example this type of map, need to paint that edge (I'm not sure if that is called embroidery or something) then rubber part and for rubber part needs that edge painted so that it is in normal map, otherwise edge looks flat and artificial, which then kinda break immersion:


3D mesh is also baked maps in program which alters all the created textures so that illumination works properly.

So in practice need to probably make textures for differently named floormat meshes with differently named materials and by using same parameters as with carpet as there is no way to swap to different textures completely for same 3d mesh in game.

Missing lines in materials.json probably are because it is for static mesh, I think it is good only for copy paste and then edit to work with vehicle material, I just do material setting in world editor and hope it produces file that works somewhat


Regarding rear wheel track, real cars are often like () shape when viewed from top, but Body of Maluch looks more like [] to me.

If it's 12" wheels, then 0.3048 for diameter and 0.3048/2 for radii should get close enough, tire if it is 115/80/12 is then 115*0.8*2 for height of rubber parts and then + wheel diameter to get total diameter to check against.

One has to be just careful with section width and thread width and not confuse the two, thread of 115 is actually something close to 100mm or might be even bit less?

In Blender when creating circle or cylinder, then one can write diameter/2 in radius box and blender does the math for proper diameter automatically, after creating cylinder in Blender it is quick to check tires and wheels for their proper size.
Old MeasureIT addon for 2.78 was also really handy for checking diameters, but it works differently in new Blender versions and not so useful or handy for quick checks anymore, imo.
Another reason I'm stuck with old 2.78 Blender version.

Accurate track is then bit tricky, because I have seen track reported with measurement taken from center of tire thread which is then affected by toe (unless two measurements is taken and that is then averaged), track measured from center of wheels is then of course slightly different, but this difference none can spot with their eyes, it only matters for weird persons like me probably

Track from official sources is center of wheel value, imo.

 

it would be amaizing if you could add these aftermarket seats

 

ayyyyy and please when you will be doing these seats please add a grey version too.. they were mostly in polonez's but some people were adding them to maluch's as a costom modification

 

alright

 

I'd say that the 13" wheels will need lower profile tires, since they look too big on the wheel arches

 

Exactly. The vanilla 13" wheels and tires kind of "rub" against the wheel wells. Since this car is sized to use 10-12" wheels, the 13s look a little too big. Probably a lower profile tire could solve that.


Here it is using a 13x5 wheel with a 165/70R13 tire.


Here it is using a 13x5,5 wheel with a 185/60R13 tire.

Probably it would fit better if the tire was about 20" in diameter

 

those are the vanilla ones
