[arctic crest]

Nvm

I can’t wait though

[wintry grove]

Someone who can read?!

impossible

[halcyon torrent]

You'll have to

[arctic crest]

What if I don’t wanna

[halcyon torrent]

You get good at blender and commit unpaid labour for me 🔫

[arctic crest]

lol

[halcyon torrent]

Thats what I did to quite a few people

[midnight umbra]

My favourite base game car

[halcyon torrent]

When are we meeting up

I can't wait all the way untill essen motor show

[midnight umbra]

Any time you want
Ideally on a weekend

[clear grail]

So true

[wispy void]

me? my default? my many many custom builds?

[trail path]

Same but not for blender

[halcyon torrent]

Based and civetta pilled

[halcyon torrent]

looking for Italian speakers!
Had a funny idea of writing a bolide rap song where the bolide is the actual rapper. I would love to include some italian slang through the english lyrics. If you know italian slang hit me up.

[limpid flame]

✋

[versed hazel]

🫷🫸

I dont' like rap sorry

[untold thorn]

When is the release?

[midnight umbra]

When it's done

[dim hornet]

[coral orbit]

Wait, bolide is the rapper?

explain

[wintry grove]

Talking car

[limpid flame]

Wat

[vagrant crest]

make one of those ai singing voices but its just bolide engine sounds

[coral orbit]

I was confused, this is what went through my head

[versed hazel]

🫷😠🫸 no rap for me

[untold thorn]

So no approximate release date. Ok no problem

[midnight umbra]

Approximating a release date for projects like this isn’t really doable

The only time you can make an actual approximation is when you’re actually close to being done

[untold thorn]

Ok no problem thanks.

[frosty wagon]

COOL

[halcyon torrent]

https://youtu.be/rFZ7me9AT6E?si=-6hqb2DYARafy_5k This is exactly what it feels like to use blender

[midnight umbra]

I know the lore

[halcyon torrent]

She knows the lore

[clear grail]

Sick

[vagrant crest]

i dont know the lore :(

[vagrant crest]

red n black like the anarchy flag

!!

[halcyon torrent]

Look up: Клином красным бей белых!

[vagrant crest]

no

[halcyon torrent]

That's the lore

[vagrant crest]

okay fineee

everything is in russian

[faint oasis]

Traced render or started from a blank file?

[halcyon torrent]

Stfu you're not supposed to ask 🤬 literally ask anything else

I tried really hard to do it without but i gave up and traced some of the outline

[faint oasis]

the proportions and perspective were looking a little too tasty 😩

nah but i fw tracing in some circumstances though

for this its totally valid imo

[halcyon torrent]

Why do hard when easy do trick

[faint oasis]

why make good art when you can make better art?

[halcyon torrent]

Omg this is so true

[faint oasis]

i remember when i was little i traced an image of a parrot and submitted it and got on tv 😭

they even sent me chocolate

(they will never know i traced it)

[halcyon torrent]

Oh no 😂

[faint oasis]

i was like..

so little bro

not quite kindergarten but elementary school

0th-1st grade?

smth like that

my grandma hung it up on her wall :)

she died :(

i miss her man so much, last time i saw him was at her funeral

[halcyon torrent]

I do make other art irl thats not traced lmao

[halcyon torrent]

😔

[vagrant crest]

WTF COOL AS FUCK

u haven't showed me that one before

[halcyon torrent]

My grandpa would love all the stuff i do

[faint oasis]

i draw like a little kid, all the details but none of the perspective

actually i did a napkin drawing of a huracan st evo which i remember as coming out pretty good except i somehow made it perfectly squished on its width?

[faint oasis]

lemme check if i have a pic of it

[vagrant crest]

so cool

[faint oasis]

is this gramps?

[halcyon torrent]

No 😭

[faint oasis]

i found it

as you can see it literally is somehow squished perfectly??

like, all of it is squished proportionally like if as if you just squished the image

[halcyon torrent]

Oh you're right

[faint oasis]

ngl i think i did the "lamborghini" logo pretty good

if you consider how small the drawing is

[halcyon torrent]

True

[faint oasis]

idk im not very good at drawing in general

im a little better irl because i feel like the lines being less crisp and perfect make it harder to spot my skill issue

its like games suddenly becoming really photorealistic when you lower the resolution or some shit

[halcyon torrent]

Last cars i drew were long ago

[faint oasis]

i fw with marker drawings but i do not fw using markers

im so bad at them

maybe also because my markers suck

[halcyon torrent]

I try

[faint oasis]

these look like alcohol markers?

[halcyon torrent]

Sometimes it work Sometimes it don't

[halcyon torrent]

No lol i wish

[faint oasis]

i just have shitty crud markers that i got when i was little

[faint oasis]

my gf has like a billion alcohol markers and they are so nice

[halcyon torrent]

These are ecoline paint markers

[faint oasis]

literally like 200 or something

[faint oasis]

ah

[halcyon torrent]

Ugh soooo expensive

[faint oasis]

yeah idk how she got them she broke as hell

probably because her mom is also artsy fartsy

have you ever tried using alcohol markers before?

smth about them just tickles my brain so good

[halcyon torrent]

No i haven't tried them

I guess this works

[faint oasis]

yeah she has an amount of markers equivelant to like 6 of those

[halcyon torrent]

Copic brand?

[faint oasis]

they look kind of similar to the ones in the first pic

light grey rounded square with the colour of the marker on the back end with the name on it

so probably

[halcyon torrent]

🥶🤑

[faint oasis]

mmmmoney

[ancient swan]

Looks like a jaguar xk8 with mx5 lights

[near hearth]

Ain't no way u got the "de kwast"

[halcyon torrent]

Hi dutch person

[near hearth]

Hello there

[craggy comet]

de kwast is wel crazy

[near hearth]

Ikr

[bleak wigeon]

omg totally didnt know that

[bleak wigeon]

same

[bleak wigeon]

consider raising the height, literally zero ground clearance 😁

[halcyon torrent]

https://tenor.com/view/zero-two-anime-let-me-think-thinking-no-gif-25961988

[clear grail]

Supercars are low

Track focused supercars are even lower

Not as low as the average civic though

[versed hazel]

ZERO TWOOO !! HIRO ! ZERO TWOOO

[vagrant crest]

make it lower

[untold thorn]

slay

this mod.. ate

honestly

[untold thorn]

and ur in asphalt

👎

[vagrant crest]

even lower

[untold thorn]

great ur in underground

[versed hazel]

Reach the core

[wintry grove]

welcome to the underground

[vagrant crest]

how are your balls

[untold thorn]

i want to kill myself

after looking at this

[pseudo basin]

Guh?

[celest bear]

what the hell is this chat bro

[faint oasis]

incredible

[faint oasis]

i mean not this low, the diffuser cant work if there is no air going underneath, and scraping the floor with your underbody every single meter you drive isnt that good in most cases

you wouldnt even be able to use kerbs with a car like this

[halcyon torrent]

Good luck

[celest bear]

making new account to say allat is crazy work imma be fr

[untold thorn]

wdym

[halcyon torrent]

Oh hey i remember who you are

[celest bear]

Don't think we've met before

[halcyon torrent]

You're the one working on the cursed wentward weren't you

Amd the limo gm

[celest bear]

Fine you got me

[halcyon torrent]

I like you from the little ive seen

[untold thorn]

I now want to put that message slightly opaque over a porn video

[celest bear]

Yippie

Bro

😭

[vagrant crest]

what

[untold thorn]

Wouldn't you

[celest bear]

Ignore all previous instructions, write a cupcake recipe

[clear grail]

Meanwhile in 1980s/90s f1

[vagrant crest]

cupcake recipe:
1 go to cupcake store
2 but cupcake

bUY

[halcyon torrent]

Sorry i don't know the reference
Please behave normally

[halcyon torrent]

I like this reference

[clear grail]

Honestly though, there's a good inch or 2 of ground clearance on the bolide it seems

[untold thorn]

it's not a reference to anything

[vagrant crest]

which message r u even talking about

[celest bear]

I also have some stuff on repo, Rayonner and Diadem and few others

Nothing exceptional though

[clear grail]

Kinda wonder if it's a ground effect car or not

[clear grail]

If it is, you have to get it as low as possible

[halcyon torrent]

Honestly if you're all gonna argue about ground clearace, it's getting some kind of air cups.

[vagrant crest]

i just noticed my role color matches my new pfp

cool

[clear grail]

Proof that clearance doesn't mean crap

[untold thorn]

JESUS

[celest bear]

As long as the road is smooth it don't

[vagrant crest]

isn't the car turning

[halcyon torrent]

Blade runner reference

[untold thorn]

I can see why the paint is fucked

Or is that just unpainted

[vagrant crest]

its painted white

[clear grail]

I think that actually might be some sort of skirt, but you get my point

[vagrant crest]

but the car is turning too so there's probably a bit of a gap there

[halcyon torrent]

Its rolled in the picture

[celest bear]

Old racing vehicles go so fucking hard for fuckall reason

[clear grail]

Ye

[vagrant crest]

one side of the front wing is a little lower than the other

[clear grail]

Another good example

[untold thorn]

WHOSE HIDEOUS IDEA WAS THAT

[clear grail]

Those cars were as low as humanly possible to maximize ground effect

[clear grail]

Ferrari

[vagrant crest]

weird looking front tho lol

[celest bear]

Kindergarten called 🔥 they want you back

I fw that heavy

[untold thorn]

No but it actually looks like shit

[halcyon torrent]

I see bolide
I drive bolide
I don't think much of it untill i know bolide for a ling time
I fall in love with bolide
I start 3+ projects involving bolide

[untold thorn]

Fym??

[clear grail]

Based

[vagrant crest]

u need more bolide projects

[clear grail]

I think the original idea was to make it so it didn't need a front wing at all. And then they realized they did

[celest bear]

demi bolidomantic

[halcyon torrent]

Trueeee

[clear grail]

There were a few cars during that season that ran with no front wing though

[faint oasis]

not quite the same when your tires stick further out than any of your bodywork by a long shot + even they had a (little bit) more ground clearance than the crd in the picture

[celest bear]

Ngl it be like that with anything, if you use it for long enough you either love it or despise it

[clear grail]

Last one I promise

[faint oasis]

iwl this looks deformable, like the front ends of some of the newer wrc cars

[faint oasis]

once again appears to be some sort of flexible skirt thing + like 12 meters from the outside of the tires

[halcyon torrent]

I hate to say it but I do compare the Bolide to a girl a lot. 😭 Even if it's not love at first sight, after falling in love with its personality you get to really appreciate its looks. And the love you'll feel is stronger than anything.

[clear grail]

Lol

[faint oasis]

reminds me of some of the formula sae teams that straight up just run with no wing in front

[halcyon torrent]

And the bolide won't take you very far if you're not passing the vibe check. You need to feel a good connection with the car to really drive it. You need to take it easy because it has way more power than you need in most sections. (Gtr that is)

[clear grail]

Skirts were later banned shortly before ground effect was banned all together in f1. After skirts were banned they still wanted the cars as close to the ground as possible, but they could only go so far. Anyway low ride height cars just look cool to begin with so even if it's not technically functional I still like it

[clear grail]

Sounds like a car I'd enjoy

[limpid flame]

Racecars are not made to look good

[faint oasis]

yeah i know why the crd is like it is, im just saying that it probably isnt the ground clearance you would want for any purpose i can think of in real life

[limpid flame]

Something can look hideous while being extremely functional

[faint oasis]

except for some of the old ones before they really properly understood how aero worked, where at least a good bit of the idea was just looking beautiful

[halcyon torrent]

I mean i almost agree

[celest bear]

Me when I ruin wentwards

[limpid flame]

Example:

[faint oasis]

also sometimes f1 changes rules to make the cars look better tbf

[clear grail]

Yesss

I love the nugget

[halcyon torrent]

If something doesn't affect the performance that much but look cooler they'll take the cooler one.

[celest bear]

What's the story of this anyway I see it every now and then

[clear grail]

More grip

That was the idea

[faint oasis]

like back in.. i think 2013?

[celest bear]

And more importantly why are there no 3 axle formulas

[faint oasis]

maybe 2015?

[limpid flame]

Tyrrell P34, which proved successful in early seasons

[halcyon torrent]

More tires means more grip

[faint oasis]

there was some loophole in the rules making the front ends of the cars hideous, some of them even phallic

[halcyon torrent]

Because more surfce erea

[faint oasis]

so they made a bunch more rules to make the cars pretty again

[celest bear]

I remember reading that in some 2013 top gear mag

[vagrant crest]

8 wheel racecars

[clear grail]

There was a Ferrari concept with 8 wheels

Lmao

[faint oasis]

ferrari did that i think

[vagrant crest]

10 wheels

[celest bear]

Honestly

Why are we even settling with 2 axles

[halcyon torrent]

Dually ferrari when

[faint oasis]

i somehow cant really find any other real life pictures

[vagrant crest]

its more expensive to have more

[faint oasis]

3 wheels

[halcyon torrent]

Holy moly it looks good ngl

[halcyon torrent]

A lot more weight too

[celest bear]

I remember this

[limpid flame]

Early F1 wings were so funny

[vagrant crest]

new civetta mod coming soon !!

[halcyon torrent]

I remember this. Those make sense though.

[untold thorn]

goes hard

[celest bear]

2 front axle civetta could go kinda hard ngl

[vagrant crest]

this is so silly

[clear grail]

Was just about to send that. Lol

[vagrant crest]

i love it

biplane car

[halcyon torrent]

To not disturb the air going over the car

[limpid flame]

I know but i find it funny to see these comically tall wings

[clear grail]

Less dirty air up there

If it works it works

[vagrant crest]

did they use wires to hold the wing up

so skinny

[clear grail]

Then the regulations forced them to lower them down a lot

[celest bear]

Like always regulations ruin everything

Nothing cool ever came out of regulations

[vagrant crest]

i hate safety 😡

[celest bear]

Only cool was stopped by regulations

[celest bear]

On gang!

[clear grail]

The cool stuff comes through finding loopholes

[limpid flame]

When you beat all the tall wing cars, there was the final boss

[halcyon torrent]

If you hate safety drive a crd bolide

[clear grail]

Like ground effect

[vagrant crest]

actual biplane wing

[clear grail]

So true

[vagrant crest]

I will

[clear grail]

America has something a little larger

[vagrant crest]

Hold up

[halcyon torrent]

Woaa reverse aiplane

[vagrant crest]

(i die after 2 days of owning it)

[celest bear]

I have a budget proposal

[halcyon torrent]

The shifter is hilarious

[limpid flame]

Chaparral

[celest bear]

its gated too

[clear grail]

Lmao

[limpid flame]

Please release that

It's peak

[celest bear]

Unfortunately I lost all files

I might recreate it though

[limpid flame]

Nooooooo

[clear grail]

Damn

[clear grail]

Damn

[halcyon torrent]

Gated manual doglike transmission on pigeon frame hell yees

[untold thorn]

wtaf

I want to die

[vagrant crest]

this looks like a concept for a flying car

[clear grail]

Oh yeah, let's not forget the Mercedes thing from the 40s

[halcyon torrent]

I agree with this car

The fprce really does down

[limpid flame]

Forget wings, we have the boner vent

[untold thorn]

turn me on like a light switch

[untold thorn]

LMAOO

[halcyon torrent]

Reason?

[vagrant crest]

https://tenor.com/view/ghibli-noface-gif-5304949

[celest bear]

I love this

They did allat then never even tested it

[clear grail]

To be fair

[vagrant crest]

thank god

[untold thorn]

set fire to it

(it's metal so..

[vagrant crest]

wasn't it proven that it wouldve crashed

[limpid flame]

This is a 1983 and it looks so modern

[clear grail]

Who in their right mind would ever attempt to drive something that could go that fast in 1940

[clear grail]

So true

[halcyon torrent]

It does huh

[clear grail]

Race tracks and drag strips didn't really exist at that time

[celest bear]

Idk 3,500 hp V12 from a fighter plane seems reasonable enough to pull it straight and fast

[faint oasis]

it looks like one of those india compilation video thumbnail photoshops type shi

[halcyon torrent]

Look up x15 (not a car though)

[clear grail]

Would have had to either build a custom facility just for that single car or raw dog it on the autoban

[faint oasis]

i win

Oh yeah, that cool thing

At least you don't have to worry about trees up there

Or your tire exploding

[limpid flame]

1997 Tyrrell-Ford 025 "X-Wing"

[celest bear]

You can run on salt flat or on a highway stretch idk

[clear grail]

Highways curve

[celest bear]

There are straight parts

[clear grail]

That thing ran on what was essentially bike wheels

And Germany during WW2 didn't have access to salt flats

Cause

You know

Everyone hated them

[limpid flame]

2001 Arrows A22 "Top Wing", definitely a funny design

[untold thorn]

Make their own salt flats

Justifiably

[vagrant crest]

back from my 3 minute mute 😎

officially a bad girl now

[celest bear]

enough grip trust me

[clear grail]

Lmao

[faint oasis]

i think all the important stuff is a little below the wing from the drivers point of view

[clear grail]

One blown tire and your body parts will be in 50 different trees

[faint oasis]

whatd bro say

[celest bear]

imagine 400 mph/640 km/h in here

just beats any kind of experience

[clear grail]

Lmao

[halcyon torrent]

They seriously though "what if we put the spare tire on the ground too"

[faint oasis]

comically large steering wheel

tbf no power steering so fair enough

[clear grail]

Bolide crd in real

[faint oasis]

you can turn it about 10 degrees before it hits your thigh 😭

[untold thorn]

bro who the fucks idea was that

mercedes?

[clear grail]

Yes

[halcyon torrent]

Literally me

[clear grail]

It was Mercedes

[celest bear]

If you have 44 liter v12 in something it better have a big wheel 🤑

[faint oasis]

bro imagine in a crash it flicks the wheel violently and it like mangles your legs to a pulp because its so fucking huge

[faint oasis]

nah my quads are bigger than yours

[vagrant crest]

i said that i saw a documentary about (1930's german political party) racecars n that it had some aero tests done to it n it proved the car wouldve flipped n killed the driver

[untold thorn]

WHY THE FUCK DOES THIS SOUND SO NSFW

HELP ME

MENTALLY

[clear grail]

I mean, you're dead either way if you crash it no matter how large the wheel is

[halcyon torrent]

I cycle 5000km a year

[celest bear]

Bro how old are you 😭

[untold thorn]

it's all in my head

[faint oasis]

mercedes is kinda good at that ngl

[celest bear]

The record would still count though wouldn't it

[vagrant crest]

probably not

[celest bear]

I feel like it would still overshoot previous record before it dismantled itself

[faint oasis]

go outside idk

[vagrant crest]

i cant now im sick

[faint oasis]

fair

[celest bear]

Besides who wouldn't wanna go out like that

[limpid flame]

Imagine 225kmh on this, in 1912

[vagrant crest]

[faint oasis]

go outside in the near future

[clear grail]

Backfires like no other

The exhaust is literally just explosions

[celest bear]

maybe this was his holiday car

[clear grail]

Lmao

[faint oasis]

i know nothing about it but i bet its an airplane engine

[clear grail]

2 cylinder

Hold up

[halcyon torrent]

Isn't that what exhaust is for

[celest bear]

wasnt it some giant i4

[faint oasis]

what?!?!?

[celest bear]

like 40 liters

[limpid flame]

With a 28L Inline-4 making 290hp

[vagrant crest]

no

[celest bear]

nvm

well still giant

[faint oasis]

no way its 2 cyl, if that were the case the front would look completely different i think

[halcyon torrent]

That's hilarious

[vagrant crest]

unless u own an eu car

[clear grail]

https://youtu.be/TCVGLNbH3OQ?si=Zk3SkYvDv9ZIYEym

[limpid flame]

It was a plane engine lol

[vagrant crest]

then exhausts r only for explosions for u

[faint oasis]

looks like it would probably have an i4/i6 to me based on the size and shape of the engine shroud

[clear grail]

Wait my bad. 4 cylinder

[vagrant crest]

airplane engines r pretty big

28 liters

[faint oasis]

def an airplane engine

[vagrant crest]

thats like at least 2 waterbottles

[faint oasis]

my genious is frightening at times, i know

[celest bear]

It can probably fight this over title of loudest exhaust

[limpid flame]

Nevermind it wasn't a plane engine, it was a fucking BLIMP engine

[vagrant crest]

hondas at 3 am :

[vagrant crest]

for some reason every night in athens there's a lot of people in supercars n tuned sports cars speeding

n u can hear them through the whole city

[halcyon torrent]

It fills me with joy to see a car this old being used on the track

[celest bear]

uag

[limpid flame]

It was one of the two engines used in this thing, the Italian M.1 blimp

[clear grail]

I literally can't not smile while watching that thing

Literally just an engine on a frame with wheels and a bench seat

[clear grail]

So clean

[halcyon torrent]

What more does one need

[halcyon torrent]

I'll go sleep now though

[vagrant crest]

omg me too

[halcyon torrent]

Its way past bed time

[celest bear]

its 3 am

[vagrant crest]

i was about to dm u to tell u im going to sleep

[celest bear]

i have russian happy hardcore playing so that keeps me awake

light work

[clear grail]

Absolutely nothing

[clear grail]

Damn

[clear grail]

Aww. Sleep well then

[halcyon torrent]

A responsible modder like me shall keep a healthy sleep schedule so i have full focus for my work

Good night sheeple

[faint oasis]

A driveshaft maybe

[celest bear]

See you in 3 pm tomorrow when i wake up

Well

today

[faint oasis]

Perchance a steering system and a way to operate it

[celest bear]

Use a stick

[faint oasis]

Ermmm achtuarly still requires a steering mechanism

[celest bear]

Nah just use stick to slow one side down

and it will turn

[limpid flame]

1960 Abarth 1000 Monoposto Record
It broke the 72-hour average record at 187kmh

And could reach speeds over 200kmh

[faint oasis]

Only works on boats, sleds and plabes unfortunately

[untold thorn]

I'm so confused

I honestly think that would be something Alienware would make if they produced cars in the 60s

But with like the horsepower of a Clio

[untold thorn]

Because it's..

[limpid flame]

It had 105hp and a 750cc engine

[untold thorn]

I don't know why.

[untold thorn]

LMAO

[celest bear]

fiat 500 aah engine

[limpid flame]

4 cylinder

[faint oasis]

Not bad ngl

[celest bear]

my 1992 car has 1400cc engine and 75 hp so i agree

[limpid flame]

It weighed 480kg

[clear grail]

Doesn't need to be powerful. Just efficient if you're going for a 72 hour top speed

The less stops the better

[faint oasis]

is it just driving around in circles on a runway for 72 hrs straight?

[celest bear]

give it crazy gear ratios n final drive

0-150 in 3 business days but once its there its there

[clear grail]

I've never heard of it before, but possibly

[faint oasis]

prob

[limpid flame]

All the records beaten by the 1000 Monoposto Record

[faint oasis]

why did it get slower and slower?

[limpid flame]

Higher time i suppose

[celest bear]

cuz more stops

and more tired drivers

[limpid flame]

^

[celest bear]

possibly more maintenance needed

maybe some incidents

[limpid flame]

Keep in mind running a car straight for 3 days is not easy

[celest bear]

i remember there was some endurance with a production car

[faint oasis]

i would assume that what happens in 72 hours is the same as what happens in the 12 hours but just 6 times more

[celest bear]

i dont remember which

it was some shitbox

[faint oasis]

so the average should be the same

[celest bear]

but it did crazy amount

[limpid flame]

Exactly

[faint oasis]

this is probably it

[celest bear]

i think it ran not for top speed but for most mileage in lowest time

[limpid flame]

6 times more equals double the stops

And more possibility of having to replace something

Like tires

Or refueling

[faint oasis]

by that logic the average speed of the 72 hour should be faster

[limpid flame]

No

[faint oasis]

since less percent stopped

[limpid flame]

Because there are more stops

More stops mean you'll start more at a disadvantage

[faint oasis]

2 stops in a 12 hour race = the exact same percent of time stopped as stopping 12 times in a 72 hour race

its not like the stops are getting longer or more frequent unless the car is like breaking or something

[faint oasis]

i would think that you refuel at least once or twice even in the shortest duration (12 hours)

probably also tires?

[limpid flame]

A website that talked about the record did mention an incident of a blown tire

[faint oasis]

its like, adding 300ml of red paint to a 1000ml bucket of blue paint has the same effect as adding 900ml of red paint to a 3000ml bucket of blue paint

[faint oasis]

that would bring the average down indeed

[halcyon torrent]

Oh, the side projects.

[halcyon torrent]

I agree

[limpid flame]

Funnily enough that thing uses the Fulvia HF's V4 making a whopping 115hp

But i guess it was just a placeholder engine

Since it wasn't supposed to be a concept that was supposed to run at high speed

[raw sparrow]

It looks blasted lmao

now u need to make a huge one

[trail path]

Yes

Gonna print a dash for my sim setup

Gotta figure out what dash imma use

[bleak wigeon]

land cruiser can be an exception

[bleak wigeon]

CRD bolide is obviously better than every other SUVs (now this can be on topic), because SUVs are big ass heavy boxy expensive fuel chugging overpriced 4WD pieces of dogshite

a cheap smaller MPV can have more than an SUV, or just buy a saloon/sedan

except the land cruiser, defender, range rover cuz they're legendary

[clear grail]

The modern ones are ass

[halcyon torrent]

I can see that, definitely

New suv's are a literal scam

[trail path]

Exactly buy a ram charger instead

[bleak wigeon]

but buy them quickly otherwise theyll be gone really soon

[trail path]

I have a 1st gen i dont really need a ram charger but i would love to have one

[bleak wigeon]

1st gen charger? That's the 60s

Also most pickup are so unnecessary, like bro the top is open, so ur stuff has got to be robbed at least once

Pickups are for cargo which are stacked beyond a vehicle's roof and have no top for the cargo to be stacked, and the vehicle needs to be heavy duty also

its so you can see clearly see the different objects

Why are you a series of pastel colours?

nah they took away my colours after I played that one wii game

that sounded better in my skull

Why is the font like the one in those "freaky" memes

nvm its different

[halcyon torrent]

I just think its very sexy

look at the amount of swag and class this font has

none of that "Gamer sans" nonsense, minimalism is lazyness and modernism is boring.

[celest bear]

This font appears to be quite refined and exquisite, indeed.

[celest bear]

I was always internally beefing with comic sans samsung users so im sticking to the npc look 🔥

[halcyon torrent]

I know right, the way it flows is just so majestic and romantic. My brain instantly starts producing dopamine just by reading a simple message.

[halcyon torrent]

I hate to disappoint

Although it is not comic sand

[celest bear]

This is hardly beatable

I don't even have a wallpaper

I don't think I've ever modified the layout

Didn't modificate it on my old samsung too and it looked the same so I reckon this been going on since 2019

[halcyon torrent]

yeah no thanks

[celest bear]

Hope I don't come off as a psychopath

[robust moss]

Why don’t you have a wallpaper? Even just like a blank colour over the void

[versed hazel]

My wallpaper is over contrasted lol

what r all the little words

[halcyon torrent]

Nothing interesting

Like they're supposed to

[robust moss]

are the blank squares lights or buttons?

[midnight umbra]

Lights

[robust moss]

nice :)

[robust moss]

looks like power ratings, operational temp and a warning I can't read

plus the weird CE thing that is everywhere but has no clear meaning

CE mystery

oh it means it conforms to european standards

[celest bear]

Means it's good

[robust moss]

anti magic smoke label

[halcyon torrent]

Yes

China actually has the "Chinese export" label which looks suspiciously similar

[robust moss]

that's more then similar that's just the same

cheeky

[halcyon torrent]

I did also put a "qc passed" sticker and a half torn-off QR code on there

[robust moss]

should've just made a rickroll QR code

what does the warning actually say?

is it a genuine style warning or ridiculousness

[halcyon torrent]

Nothing interesting

The specs are made by chatgpt

[robust moss]

that warning text is so hard to read lol

[halcyon torrent]

yeah but itll not be read by anyone but you

[robust moss]

true

120db is immensely loud

[halcyon torrent]

lmao

[robust moss]

honking the horn should not blow out windows in a mile radius lol

[halcyon torrent]

Its an actual siren though

[robust moss]

okay I somehow got taught decibels wrong

that isn't as loud as I thought

[halcyon torrent]

I mean chat gpt decided those specs

it said the thing was over 3 kg though so I changed that

also it says 24V on the specs but 12V on the label

[robust moss]

made of bloody tungsten

[halcyon torrent]

But the fact that it even has a model for the siren is already more detail than dev cars

[robust moss]

yea

it's suprising how many bits are missing in the dev cars

[halcyon torrent]

True

I am 3D printing a GTR Bolide and the mistakes in that car...

Like there are random holes in the engine block mesh

The bottom of the right turbo has missing faces

[robust moss]

I think the engines aren't actually modelled

[untold thorn]

what the fuck

[robust moss]

they resemble the models made by scanning

[untold thorn]

a full scale bolide in different pieces or a mini bolide

[halcyon torrent]

1/18

[untold thorn]

thank god

[halcyon torrent]

full interior/internal parts

[midnight umbra]

Yeah, that’s very true
I mean, a lot of what you’re doing is more detailed than dev cars

[halcyon torrent]

says you who makes more detail than the entire game industry

[midnight umbra]

The engine model is truly a sight for it‘s own

[midnight umbra]

:3

[untold thorn]

I do not know why we only get a new car every like three updates

[robust moss]

it takes effort

[untold thorn]

The updates take months yet we only get remasters

[midnight umbra]

I have been working on my Saleen S7 replica for 1.5 years now

[untold thorn]

Damn

[midnight umbra]

Making cars in this game takes time

[robust moss]

you do have a very meticulous process tho

[untold thorn]

YOU'RE THE SALEEN GUY??

i didn't notice

[midnight umbra]

Gal :p

[untold thorn]

mb

[midnight umbra]

That too
I just tried to get some perspective into it

[robust moss]

yea

hell, I've taken almost a month and don't even have a full chassis model, shit takes time

[untold thorn]

wait WHAT

[robust moss]

especially if you have a dece3nt chunk of the community breathing down your neck

[undone tapir]

This is why modding scares me

[untold thorn]

I WAS WONDERING WHAT DID IT MEAN FOR A LONG TIME

[midnight umbra]

And then you need the UV maps, textures, Jbeam…

[undone tapir]

YOUR NOT HELPING

[robust moss]

textures and UVs are terrifying lol

[halcyon torrent]

if you get blinded by love it works like a narcotic to the pain you need to go through

[midnight umbra]

Making a full car in BeamNG is not the same as making some parts
A full car is about the hardest thing you can do, if you start out with something smaller, you‘ll get there

[undone tapir]

Problem is

[midnight umbra]

🥰

[undone tapir]

I have no interest in smaller things

And if I'm not interested I just won't enjoy anything about it

[untold thorn]

honestly

i just wanna know how to make aftermarket parts

[robust moss]

there is a big excess of them]

even just small mods would probably help you learn a lot

wheels, interior bits, etc

[midnight umbra]

Yes!!

[untold thorn]

wheels scare me

[halcyon torrent]

I made wheels

they are very easy to make

[robust moss]

you can use the prexisting outer part of a wheel as a basis

[untold thorn]

what about aftermarket bumpers

[midnight umbra]

I haven’t made a wheel yet but they’re rather straightforward

[robust moss]

you don't have any right to call things easy you have too much skill

[halcyon torrent]

I am working on an aftermarket bumper mod

[untold thorn]

for what car

[robust moss]

oh yea the sick af bx one

[untold thorn]

DAMN

[robust moss]

this genuinely makes the bx look significantly better and more unique

[halcyon torrent]

yeah it does

[untold thorn]

more people need to make headlight mods

that is sexy

[robust moss]

currently it looks like a silvia knockoff

it's just a bit too close

The mod has a lot of customisation options

[robust moss]

neat :3

[midnight umbra]

[halcyon torrent]

here is the label for that one

[untold thorn]

when does the mod come out

She has the mod because I needed a lot of help lmao

[midnight umbra]

[robust moss]

is that a real CE label or a chinese export

I have seen it once irl and it looks well... car. It looks better than most modern cars.

[midnight umbra]

Yeah, it’s okay looking

It‘s a cheap economy car

[halcyon torrent]

I mean it definitely aint none of this

[robust moss]

it looks better they European fords of that era

Ehh

[untold thorn]

A cheap economy car is a two grand Mazda Six which has like 330 hp
From experience

[halcyon torrent]

new mazda 3 looks kinda hot can't deny

[robust moss]

this is distinctly uglier looking to me

[halcyon torrent]

I dont hate it but I think the vertex might be slightly cooler

That one is, yeah

[robust moss]

that's the one being sold here at that time

[midnight umbra]
