Development Screens (Each post contains a picture OR contributing post)

Protip: the relationship between the number of mods you're working on and the chances of completing them is inversely proportional. Working on 2-3 things at once is fine, anything above that turns into a chore. Also, isn't Sunstorm remaster a perfect opportunity to actually learn to model?

 

Interior will have significant changes, I haven't gotten around to it yet. The exhaust tips are a good idea too. USDM will be included.

 

I already have done the Sunstorm remaster modelling. It's just the Jbeam I need to put on (especially the hybrid powertrain based from the KLJP SBR4 Hybrid) since the body is good and I have finished the models. I presume the "modelling" you are referring to is modelling from ground up which will take way more time than modifying existing model. That said I am biting too much than I can chew at the same time.

 

Will it have PUR parts? :trol:

 

I really like the cleaner looking design, the rims are fantastic, but it looks a little too dated to be a '90s model which is kinda the opposite of nuova. IMO It'd probably be a better fit between the original '81 and the newer looking GTT spec trims from '84, since it still uses the older, flatter looking, body style but has fixed headlights and side vents like the facelifted GTT trims.

Unless it's absolutely destined to be a newer model that still uses the old body, then it might be better to call it the Bolide Classic instead, like what Dodge did with the Ram 1500.

 

I can't tell if this is a really bad joke, I have absolutely no idea what you are on about.
Just because I chose to texture the lights before finishing the body means absolutely nothing, that is just my workflow.
The lights were completed modeling wise, and texturing barely takes up that much time. I'd like you to provide evidence that I "stole" the meshes.
I'd find better things to complain about if I were you.

 

It's like painting the bumper before you start priming the body of the car. It might not be the best way, or the accepted way, but it still works and there is nothing really sus about it.

 

Yes it's supposed to be a newer model that uses the old body, kinda like the Ferrari F512M was just a newer Testarossa that was made until 1996

 

good, because i really do like the facelift pessima mod and it would be a shame to have a JSZ scandal happen again

 

could give rounding out the nosecone and maybe fenders a try, since the entire front end is different and rounder on the f512m than the testarossa's. maybe a different cover over the engine as well, the louvers would be quite dated i think. looks good though.

 

The square nose and the louvers are definitely making the car look more dated than it should be, as well as the little vents on the pillar between the door and the rear glass.

I had figured that was what you were going for, and I like the idea a lot, but the F512M looks dramatically newer than the Testarossa - yours is perhaps closer to the 512TR in terms of new-ness compared to the original. Why not base the facelift off of the GTT spec body parts since they're newer and more rounded already? And then that could act as the 512TR in this situation where your "Nuova" Bolide, acting as the F512M, could be a further evolution of that design for the '90s.

All I'm saying is that between the original bolide and the GTT, and then to your "Nuova" Bolide, it looks like it got facelifted newer and then weirdly got older again, so there's nothing nuova about it from the outside besides the rims. By no means am I expecting to change your mind, this is just my personal take, but from a realistic/'lore' point of view the design doesn't make sense.

 

To make up for it, i'll make a pretty additional configs pack with all of your parts when they come out

 

I'm already cutting down on the number of planned configs, because it's already getting bloated, lol.

On a side note, should I make four variants for OEM configs, like in vanilla game? That is, EU, EU-Targa, US, US-Targa.

 

Yeah, maybe to have a version an engine between the 320gtr and the 350,
Otherwise, an OEM special edition would be nice, maybe like this one that could me an OEM++ :

(a bit like a F-40competizione for a rough comparaison)

PS: i've also made this a while ago but never released, you should consider make another factory color on the engine for your factory configs

 

That's what the GTR Road Version (or Stradale) is meant to be, basically a link between the GTT and the GTR – with GTR performance but GTT "comfort." Then there's also the GT2 (non-turbo GTT, aka sadness machine), the Fuorigiri (WIP, super high-rev V8), GTC (more track-focused GTT), and whatever I decide to use the 4.2l engine with. Then there was also a 2.9l F40-inspired engine, but this might actually go into @fiest4a's Nuovo...

I've made chrome variant already, but you're like 37th person telling me about yellow. I *might* consider it.

Nice!

 

Look like straight out of a 70s Cop series. Only thing missing is soundtrack by Lalo Shiffrin!
