I hope this gets enough sales for me to be able to not rush assets too much >.< i wanna take some time to release the car sim aswell, gotta model lots of things for it:3 More to come, but damn im tired

blender horrors

damn as soon as i come back into asset creation to try to do it full time all the paid sales/stuff pretty much disappear after 1 accidentally huge free release. fun. gotta grind blender for 14hrs every day again ig

water pump made out of finest chinesium steel has broke in half :<

okay my silly VRChat racing simulator might be absolute peak

Didn't feel productive today Gonna get scolded by myself for that

I suddenly posted a thing that blew up on twitter and now I'm afraid to post too much there bc too many people are watching :> Anyway, imma hide here for a bit

I'm still alive somehow And might be back to making things Crazy month tbh

duck i hate depressive episodes can't do shit, even tho i want to do something

made some progress since then on how car drives over curbs/stuff + small new track in the middle of the flat area

new sector, feels much better

It might be getting a bit out of hand, feels weird to see something like that in vrc and have it running at like 400fps on PC lol

vrchat btw

ok maybe rendering trees as grass is not as dumb as i thunk it will be

i am like cooking considerably

car

ok its getting somewhere need to get into geology and grass now lol

mmm ultraprocessed vrchat screenshots, yumm

okay, this looks better now - added some textures to the environment, but now car needs to react to environment a bit more, like stepped curb sounds, etc. its kinda incredible to drive it - car feels alive, move around, slides, etc.

ignore environment and HOLY the lighting on the car looks too good and how its connecting to environment with its shadow, this is impressive

LOL my avi has eyes closed when i drive, no shit i crash so much

owo i made vrchat into something completely different feeling again

i might've made one mean looking LMP2 car for my sim its just a test run on what it would look like with some kind of texture, so i didn't even UV unwrap it really, but damn this is cool

Worked on first LMP2 car today, will prob make multiple fictional ones with slightly different handling/looks I think I'm getting better at making cars in blender Nah, cant be true

i kinda like full black + accent colors. i always like full black. well i will need to make more options, but i'd pick this one:> (its just a test export, not even close to being finished yet)

absolutely sebring'ed my track in some places and somehow finally managed to do a clean lap on camera not bad for vrchat, i'd say still lots to improve and make, but this is fun

same energy

fairly lowpoly too, 3220 per boot for that detail is not terrible, nor overly optimized. could've got away with much more geo cut but i want to have higher quality ver first, will add fallback later ig

draft texture, might be worth the time to make a proper one

ok maybe now we are cookin before spot in the middle felt much more out of place and stuff

I might be cooking more

a bit over the limit and lifted lol

those corners are hella fun tho, first one is pretty hard to gauge the speed for so its somewhat challenging but even with a bad line elevation changes make it feel amazing unless u do what i did in prev video

skill_issue.mp4 i usually make it look like driving in my vrc world is easy well not always :>

besides a couple of corners (uphill hairpin sucks) its actually kinda good, wow

okay, i came up with a layout for the test track (will add sub-layouts later, but here is the main idea idk if its any good, but: 6.9km (4.3~miles) lots of elevation changes and technical sections before the straights to test how driver can handle precision, some fast sections, some slow sections

tried to make a track from scratch, with layout and everything, got this prob will try to improve it lol, im seeing some potential fun in this

i like how dynamic cars feel when pushed on track yet they kinda make sense - dynamic part of the movement feels mechanical and grounded anyway

line of the day: production-accelerated skill acquisition

omfg which bot word did i say
