[summer mantle]

Dual beams with velocity stack

most definitely going to purchase this mod

[blissful plover]

:)

[raven spoke]

Will the configs have realistic MSRP values (circa 1999-2005)?

[blissful plover]

should do yep!

[raven spoke]

Okay. Good to know.

[blissful plover]

drifting didnt go to well

[little dragon]

my friend made a quick ute gita

i could maybe ask if he would let you have it for beam?

(its literally just chopped so reall it would only work for a rough config or smthn lol)

[errant ore]

No way a full Lexus shitbox mod 🔥

Im hype

[little dragon]

maybe will have the TTE kit 😈

[blissful plover]

please!

[blissful plover]

we have tte

all stock options

altough we can appreciate better models

[little dragon]

show

[little dragon]

he said he'll send tmr :]

[little dragon]

oh 💀

[frail sedge]

sorry if someone already asked, but will this be free on release or still a paid?

[blissful plover]

Will still be paid, we have spent too much time and money onto it for it to be free

[slate flume]

ooo can we use that TTE model?

[sly depot]

awesome but yall should change the name of he thread to paid beta or something

[frail sedge]

ok, thanks i think ill prob buy when its finished

[blissful plover]

Can do

[blissful plover]

[PAID BETA] Lexus IS200/300 and the Altezza

[stiff ridge]

Where can I find the paid model?

[rich goblet]

The name to me sounds like it’s only the beta that’s paid so if it’s gonna be paid forever I think the title is a little misleading

[blissful plover]

Only certain parts are paid... not whole model

[blissful plover]

Im unsure what to change it to then chief

[signal shore]

You can literally just say: “Full release is gonna be paid”
Or
“The beta is gonna be paid and full release is gonna be free”
Then everyone complaining about the title can shut about it

Not to sound rude but that’s just my suggestion

[bright mist]

every good mod not trying to be in paid beta forever challenge (impossible 3am gone wrong)

[rich goblet]

Or [paid] [wip beta release]

[errant ore]

Or just changed to (paid )

Since the whole thing is paid

[blissful plover]

But its not fully out yet, so its in beta

Once its out it will be changed to paid

[bright mist]

make 2 tags

paid and early access maybe

like this

[blissful plover]

Will do once home

[blissful plover]

Release is almost around the corner

Doing final bits litreally just QOL features

[hallow wolf]

banger mod

[blissful plover]

Fr

Our next QOL feature

[hallow wolf]

amazing

[ruby vapor]

My brother owns a 2003 IS300 with a N/A 2jz ge. It’s a factory 5 speed transmission. It’s a blast to drive and I’m familiar with how they handle. I hope this mod is something really good

[stiff ridge]

can't wait for the release!

[rich loom]

okay from what i can see this is pretty cool, similar concept to my s15 mod. I do have a couple questions though:

-is suspension geometry accurate to the centimeter according to photoscan data or is it simply an approximation tuned to handle similarly to the real thing?

-how custom is the jbeam? are there any parts based off existing cars?

-how accurate is unibody model? can we see it raw

-are there any models sourced from video games/external sources? if so what parts

-whos made the main body work models? from what i can tell theyre really nice

-can we see topology of some of the parts? interior, engine etc

[little dragon]

Base model is from forza I think

[rich loom]

idk how legal selling forza models is, but tbf it does look quite good and poly flow is alr from what ive seen

[supple seal]

selling forza stuff defo isnt legal

[little dragon]

I could be wrong but that's the one I've used atleast

[raven spoke]

Selling models that are legal branded is illegal so selling other games is even more illegal

[rich loom]

yea its all pretty damn illegal

[scenic meadow]

does paid beta mean after the mod is completely finished it will be released for free?

[blissful plover]

we based it off from what i uhh drive IRL and others do too

[blissful plover]

suspension is based of real values from a IS300 that is stock but used for touge, then for otehr stuff we based it of feeling aswell... All parts on the car are 100% custom, although the original car was based of sunburst, of which nothing is left that is sunburst. We did source some models from assetto corsa, but many are custom hand made, i think the TRD kit is ripped from a AC model. @slate flume is the main modeler, so thank him about the parts. And what do you mean by topolgy? i can show anything you may asks

[blissful plover]

nope, will be paid after too

[blissful plover]

So happy to see others are intrested in thsi project

not 100% sure yet

[scenic meadow]

oh ok

[rich loom]

thanks for the details!

[rich loom]

not too bad

[rich loom]

if ya modelled it, good work!

[slate flume]

I modeled this one

not the other

[rich loom]

nice

[rich loom]

shouldnt this be marked as [WIP] [Paid]?

[blissful plover]

should be ig

[slate flume]

spinners?

[little dragon]

Now this is cool😅

Sex spec 💪

[blissful plover]

Still waiting on plate flippers ngl

[slate flume]

after school

if ion have too much hw

[ruby vapor]

not fan of spinners but looks dope

[slate flume]

https://www.tiktok.com/@jsd_beamng/video/7278132537338137898

[lone cargo]

ayoooooo i've been waiting for accurate spinners for years

awesome work

[blissful plover]

our plan is to release them paid aswell for very cheap

as a pack :)

[slate flume]

and they’ll come with the IS300 mod for free

[blissful plover]

ofc

[lone cargo]

ahhhh okay nice

[tardy mica]

I'm confused. It says paid beta yet you said the mod itself would be paid too? Are you giving those who pay for the beta the mod for free or do they have to buy the full release too?

[blissful plover]

the mod will be paid full stop, so if you buy now in beta you will have it for full release

[tardy mica]

That clears it up then.

Thought you had to buy it twice, would've been pretty scuffed.

[blissful plover]

yeah.. would not do that

[little dragon]

Thought Id share some progress on the TTE kit :)

[ruby vapor]

siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiik

[noble owl]

does it have openable doors

[loud summit]

It will

[slate flume]

ofc

[blissful plover]

yoo thats sick

tf

progress people

[torn arrow]

Who sped up 18 💀💀

[blissful plover]

🤷‍♂️

Its not sped up though

[sly depot]

how you get the flames like that

[blissful plover]

magic

[nocturne moth]

please tell me there is / will be a sub setup in the boot

[slate flume]

maybe

[slate flume]

one day i wanna make one that actually vibrates

but i’m still learning lua

[nocturne moth]

should ask retr0x

pretty sure he made a working sub

might not be him actually idk but someone definitely did

[slate flume]

if you can find out who that would be great

[nocturne moth]

i’ll have a look through a couple servers n try find who it was

[prisma hound]

socalist pedophilla

[robust warren]

average irish parking lot at 2am

[little dragon]

Lol

[prisma hound]

nah

its legal and cops can't stop you

many modders use fm/fh models

[little dragon]

That model has been sold countless times in assetto

[prisma hound]

well not many

but you get what i mean

[supple seal]

being illegal and cops catching you don't have anything to do with each other lmao. 100% illegal but odds are you won't be caught

[blissful plover]

Im no longer apart of the mod, and hopefully with that it means my liverys and stickers for windows will be deleted upon final release from now, all footage and updates will be coming from @slate flume

[stiff ridge]

Why are you not apart fom the mod?

[blissful plover]

There are a bunch of reasons for it, of which i wont be explaining nor will the creator of it either (hopefully)

[modern dock]

i mean if it's better for you it's all good

not like the mod will never come

[blissful plover]

thats up to JSD to decide

if he waants to release it

[slate flume]

ofc i'm still releasing it

also i will not be exposing what failed did, but I hope failed has learned from his mistakes and will stop doing what he did in the future

anyways i made working exhaust glow based off of @cerulean spindle 's brake glow mod so shout out to her

added some air freshners that are actually jbeamed

[cerulean spindle]

her :p
Maybe turn the bloom a slight bit down though. I assume it won’t get proper textures?

[slate flume]

na I did make it's own textures for it I just had it high bc it looks cool

[cerulean spindle]

It looks pretty mono colour

[slate flume]

yh it's my first time doing html textures so it's like that

but it fades away in the exhaust

[cerulean spindle]

I see

How does that look?

[slate flume]

lemme take a screenshot

[cerulean spindle]

Nice

You should do some suspension tuning

[slate flume]

yh I did

the suspension has the same geometry and measurements as IRL

thanks to my friend who has one IRL

[cerulean spindle]

Okay that’s pretty cool

Are you gonna add normals to the whole car?

[slate flume]

yh there is I just have no bumper lol

[cerulean spindle]

You really should turn down the bloom though

[slate flume]

yh I need to figure out how to make it fade into the glow

bc as of now it goes from not glowing to that in one second

[cerulean spindle]

Can’t really see them on the other images

[cerulean spindle]

You need multiple textures of varying opacity and colour

[slate flume]

I do but the first one glows too much

[slate flume]

and at a certain point I want it to glow that much

[cerulean spindle]

Lower opacity

[slate flume]

alr bet lemme try that

[cerulean spindle]

Ehh not even at maximum should it be that bright

[slate flume]

alr

woah that's alot better

and it gradually gets brighter

max still might be too bright tho

[blissful plover]

I just hope to not see my liverys nor stickers in final release, thank you.

[ancient shell]

Wow, what do the gauges look like so far

[blissful plover]

Imo could do with work, they just seem off, but its better than ive seen others try 🤷‍♂️

[ancient shell]

Yeah

[nocturne moth]

i couldnt care less how gauges look honestly

[slate flume]

they're getting redone by @lethal dagger
