Cougar SS SportsCoupe
polycounter lvl 14
Hi guys, i thought I could post my progress on my car here a bit as there is never a lot of this type of stuff around on PC.
This is a fictional car I'm working on, which i designed myself taking (for the car nut, obvious) styling cues from other cars like Holden, BMW and Nissan.
It's supposed to be a really show-off thing which is reflected by the specs: 16.000 polygons and 5 texturesheets ranging from 512 to 2048.
We're going to put it in our own LeadWerks engined game and I'm thinking about Crysis (to really try and convince CryTek to let me do my Internship with them). I just hope the Cryshader supports nice reflections...
The engine and underside texture is still unstarted, interior and details nearly finished, wheels should also be pretty much done. I'm also going to a diffuse and specular/reflection mask for the carpaint body.
Oh and all screenshots are inside Max viewport with shaders I made myself, partly with ShaderFX. Even my Geforce GTX280 is starting to slow down because of them

I should try to fix the pixels on the edges manually. And wasted data, well not really: my programmers told me about 15.000 poly's total, and if I want the body to reflect perfectly without normalmaps, I'd need at least 15.000 for that part alone (PGR had like a 100.000 almost, remember). Now the body by itself is about 7.000, the rest is for other details (which are normalmapped even heavier). So yeah I know normally you should use more polygons, that way it's actually even easier for me since I don't have to do a highpoly exterior anymore, but I wouldn't really learn anything that way (done that before) since I find normalmapping this thing a lot harder than just modelling more detail.
This is uhm, me spending way too much time on coding shaders so it looks good in viewport:

I actually thought that you had some weird bump going on the front hood when i saw the image you posted-but after checking it out on your website,i figured it was just a weird illusion
Master_V12, welll it's a twin-turbo V6... Nobody buys V8's anymore these days, so I had to think about fuel economy a bit
