Prototype 3D Racer

i literally just played f-zero gx and wanted to do something similar, but damn you nailed it first

Looks nice already, keen to see where it goes

I was playing F-Zero X last night... I do like GX too, but there's something I like about X's tracks, less visual clutter maybe. I think there are a few F-Zero style games atm, trying to come up with something unique to add 🤔

I always thought about how amazing the sound tracks are in GX, and thought about how more responsive they could be depending on the route (some tracks have several branches), the power ups in effect, the amount of flying, etc.. IMHO all these elicit different emotions that music - rather than SFX - can support.
Happy to discuss that further if you are aligned 😉

Ooooh, that is an interesting idea. Or even having elements on the track react to the music. Think of Mario 3D World platforms 🤔

that's the other way around, so that should work also!

I came up with the idea because I felt that the replay feature was lacking in FZero series, and imagining it felt like the music might become more dull if not contextualized by the racer's events.

at the end of the day, it would be as pleasant to share a replay for the racing performance as for the musical creation.

Started work on a vehicle. It's based on an old piece of concept art from a cancelled project. I think I might call it 'The Manta Ray' sounds naff enough haha. It's been a good while since I've used Blender properly, actually really enjoy 3D modelling.

Are you supposed to update the first post with recent content so it looks cool in the showcase channel?

weird, this thread had disappeared from my feed. Good stuff! If you need help there I might spare a few hours too 🙂

if you'd like one more, I've done this for your prototype
