Hi

These are the advances I had with the Saab 96, it is not much but I had little progress

Please be patient, I am moving very slowly, due to lack of time, I hope you like it

MK1 SERIES



MK2 SERIES

Hi

Some advances with the SAAB cockpit, three different ones, how they changed between their series





Hope You like it

Have a nice weekend

Diego

First Shots ingame

Nice cars Diego. I think the shading and mapping work is excellent, they combine very well with the mesh structure you opted for. I notice that this is your trademark since the rf 1982 Turismo Carretera cars to the current ones. If I see one of your models, I can identify It and know you made it.

out standing work

The old Saab looks very nice indeed.

Thanks Cristiano,

It's true, I found this method to make my cars that is very functional for me, and I think it's good to have a certain identity in the work,

But I also think that if it's too different you might not fit in with the rest and I don't know if that's so good, sometimes I think it's too drawn,

As if it were a cartoon, but well, it's the best way I found to make vehicles with a low number of polygons and that look at least decent.

In the case of the SAAB's I still need to integrate the COCKPIT's,

The same thing happens to me with the ISARD 700, the IKA DAUPHINE/GORDINI,

Correct a few things in the cars that I have already finished (Fiat 1500 / 1500 Coupe, Peugeot 404, BMW 700)

And also finish the 2-door version of the DKW on its exterior

Make a complete map the NSU Prinz Coupe

So I have a lot ahead of me

I hope to finish it as soon as possible, but I am very disorganized when it comes to work, I don't finish doing one thing and start another

It's a serious problem that I have

Sorry

Diego

well known problem here too, although my "projects" are far smaller.

A very nice work.

Hi

Well, the 3 cockpit styles are almost ready, in all cases except the Clock, all indicators work, dials with their respective lighting, indicator and warning lights.





But.....because there is always a but, I have a problem, the needles in the first style should be orange.
Does anyone know how I can make them orange only in that case?



please HELP!!!!

Cheers

Diego

Hi, as far as I know you would need 2 .cas files and also 2 different ......cpt.gtr and ......cpt.gtl files to be able to implement this.

use a file xxxx_CPIT_TEX.gtr with needle and gauge textures

for exemple: Bmw 320 gr2

Hi Cristiano

You tell me to create a XXXX_CPIT_TEX.gtr inside the folder of each individual skin? Am I right?

Because I have the SAAB_96_CPIT_TEX.gtr in the main folder with the most common needle


Thanks for the help

Diego

As three cockpits are really different, I will create three cpit files (+ .cas file using exactly the same name) :

For eg.
- SAAB_96_STYLE1_CPIT.GTR + SAAB_96_STYLE1.CAS
- SAAB_96_STYLE2_CPIT.GTR + SAAB_96_STYLE2.CAS
- SAAB_96_STYLE3_CPIT.GTR + SAAB_96_STYLE3.CAS

No, Just for the exclusive one. The default is the default and you no need to replicate It.

dbstreet  //  re:   needles in the first style should be orange
    I think there's no need for duplicate .GTR/.CAS.
    Use vertex color on the mesh instead.

True.

Where's the mesh of the needles ?

The target material "speedo_cockpit", "tacho.."..in theory the vertex color will influence in the texture of the needle.. I haven't tested it but in theory..

Then it will also color the gauges...

Ducon wrote:

Yes you are right. I forgot to mention that my above suggestion to colorize needles is based on a gauge setup with transparent .TGA textures.    And the final gauge textures? I put them on Motec material/tex to have them illuminated via headlight button.    (All this is explained in some thread I can't locate.)

Yes, it should work with the transparent "speedo_cockpit" (and other gauges) textures with the dials using material names such as "speedo_background" or other.

But since the car has three different dashboards, it might be simpler to make three different CAS files with three different CPIT.GTR for each model...

Hi

Here DKW 2 Doors Version almost ready




Have a nice weekend

very nice car
