ok this is kinda cool but i feel like something is missing besides some parts of the track being less developed than others

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

i might be cooking

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

i sure love myself a stress induced hypomanic episode that makes me feel like i've spent 3 days in 1 day

OOPS

lol should make a stylized aracade-looking driving world that has hardcore sim physics in it :D

car got bunda still electric tho, struggling with exhaust pipes

this actually feels so good with how car reacts to all the tiny bumps

the way tires now respond to being squished is much more realistic now for.. less cost in performance:> it feels/drives much better too i like when optimization yields improvements in other stuff

I maybe managed to make car sim run just fine on quest. That is fun. Also made it more realistic while doing that Funny

Low-key having a breakdown because I got a flashback to the times before the war and how peaceful it was God I forgot how peaceful it was I could just lay down and look at the night sky, think about nothing and feel calm I forgot how peace feels. I so want it back.

every time i have to fix my old code i feel like someone on drugs wrote it i wonder why could that be the case

gotta love ridiculous amounts of high precision height data

we just tested the sim with a bunch of people and lap times are like bang on, like within half a second per lap compared to irl laps it can't be that accurate, wtf :> i'm assuming its so close for all the wrong reasons but it doesn't feel like it when driving at all

People don't speak nearly enough about age verification crap being basically perfect for predators that WILL get their hands on the data being collected. age verification is way closer to child endangerment than it is to child safety when done the way it's proposed rn tbh

ignition-cut traction control added with framework to add more types in the future, hopefully will allow less skilled people to drive just fine

ok uuh i think its realistic now

full lap, 2:02:64 on it, not bad racing lines from temu and cool af suspension demo at 1:07 still ridiculous to me that this is vrchat also i def need to fix that one curb that almost sent me flying

im so enjoying how chassis moves now, feels like an actual sim somehow

im partially in shock and scared of what i've created idk how to explain that its not exactly a new feeling to me but its rare af and weird

ok that car really needed a good engine + gearbox combo, matched it to the real thing and its way too good, like im shocked how good it feels/drives for VRCHAT of all places wtf did i create

finally managed to configure this car's suspension to feel good, and damn it does feel good now, my favourite so far

this country is starting to make me have actual panic attacks upon seeing news this is ridiculous i don't want to be here

ngl this stopped feeling like vrchat physics project a while ago and now its slowly starting to feel somewhat complete in the way car behaves, its predictable yet violent when pushed hard, lots of fun im sure there is still a lot to learn and improve, but the base is getting there

ik i say that a lot but physics feels much better and more polished than before im sure i'll prove myself wrong by finding some stupid error in it like 2 weeks later and it will be completely different again, but rn im kinda happy with how the car feels/drives

this place is becoming harder and harder to do anything in
