HDR hype,screens & another status update

Ok after the track debut of Renault our blog was a bit unused for some time.  We’re working on some things we can’t directly show to you (like lods and physics). So i asked “Montoya” to create some new shots with the HDR Plugin installed. You can find the result here:

As i mentioned above LODS are still wip. Afborro is coming to an end with lods hopefully until next week so we can test them,soon. AFTER this test we can validate the system requirements for the mod.

Renault R26 Makes CTDP Track Debut!!

Hi Guys, Raul done a fantastic job completing the car with easilly one of the most complicated peices of mapping i have ever seen, so me and Andy have been working on completing the Renault this evening. Andy mapped the 2nd Nose, Number and Name and i added the dirt layers, bump and spec maps to the car.

R26 – DONE

After a few months, I’ve finished painting the Renault R26, that won the 2006 F1 Season Constructor’s and Driver’s World Championship. The final livery, the Mild Seven one, has been finished over 3 days of hard work

I’ve done the final livery, and touch ups, so it will be with Andy later today, so expect ingame screenshots soon.

As Always, Q&C’s accepted 😉

Cockpit & Tcam Previews

Hey guys, We have been showing allot of progress over the last few weeks so i thought it would be good to get stuck into the real important stuff. 🙂 I’m sure your all wondering what your new “office” is going to look like when we get round to releasing the mod, well wait no longer 🙂

R26 [5/6] – The Kebab [LOL]

Hey Guys! Want a Kebab? Maybe not, and you’d rather this Turkish Renault. Only one skin left and R26 will make track debut… and also that means that the light at the end of the tunnel is brighter and brighter… Also, notice that that model has the shadows, that means, more progress ^_^

Hope you like it, and as always, Q&C more than acepted 😉

PS. Known bug already solved is the mapping of the front wing.

Another Statusupdate

Ok, just a few words about the status of the mod. Afborro already finished lods for 3 teams (Ferrari,BMW & Redbull). Shaun and me finished work on Super Aguri (both SA05 and SA06). I’m now working on renault, finishing model, adding the shark grills into the sidepod and baking shadows. After that i’ll fix normals on the car and finalize the shaders for ingame. Marko sent me the Safety car so it’s almost ready for mapping, I just have to do some small adjustments and final touch ups. Afborro is continueing on lods and after lods and renault are done, Ingy will start to do a small teaser video to show the full grid. So we’re coming along quite good and the end is coming closer and closer 🙂

R26 [4/6] – French GP [Shark TIME!!]

 Seems that CTDP is a Zoo or something, with all these animals on the cars… Just joking guys.

Here’s another show that we’re working on the thing again and again (this evening I’d rather stay and painting than University…). Hope you like it, as the lack of pictures was big, and I was forced to watch the French GP from 2006 again.

Questions and Comments, acepted 😉

Status Update

Hello everybody!

We can see the light at the end of the tunnel! Shaun is working on SA06 liveries (as you can see in previous posts), alex (afborro) finished the last steeringwheels (all 11 wheels are finished now) and is working on something special for the showroom (will be a small surprise for you guys). I’m finishing the SA06 Shape now, i fixed some small inaccurancies at the wheelbases of Mclaren, Toyota and Renault. Then i have to add the shark grills to the Renault and bake shadows for SA06 and Renault. So i think you guys want to know what’s left so far? Well a lot of small stuff and some bigger things like the safety car ;). If everyting is going well we can start with testing in about 6-8 weeks. So the end is coming closer and closer!
