[WIP] Skoda Rapid Cup/WTCC by Patrik Marek

[Guest Uff]

Fonte.

I decided to start on Skoda Rapid CUP model, based on Skoda Rapid vehicle, moddified in the sense of Skoda Octavia CUP. Made so that regulations could also allow for it to run in WTCC/BTCC

I will be handling modeling & texturing.
I'm not sure yet about the physics & sounds - but hopefully by the time it's getting closer, there will be someone willing to assist me in that

BODY – Skoda Rapid, 5 doors.
ENGINE – turbocharged 4-cylinder in line, transversally installed; distribution: two overhead camshafts, 16 valves; compression ratio: 12.5:1; displacement: 1595 cc; bore x stroke: 82.5 x 74.6 mm; engine management: Magneti Marelli Marvel; lubrication: Dry sump.
TRANSMISSION – front-wheel-drive; gearbox: Hewland 6-speed, sequential shift; clutch: AP twin-plate; differential: mechanical limited slip differential.

initial blocking - first pass ... lots of details still to come
unfortunately there wasn't any good blueprint for this car, so I had to use perspective cameras, which was slowing me down quite a bit, but I feel like the proportions are there .. and it will be coming up nicely

the wheels are temporary rims from BMW 320si WTCC, ... more for proportion/scale ... totally not sure yet what kind of rims I will put on there .. but I want something that will be realistic

some slight update .. wheels did eat a LOT ... almsot 25k tris on wheels only (including the brake disc, calipers .. the lot) ... hopefully will reduce it to about 15k
trianglecount quickly jumped up ... but considering that most of it is wheels, I'm quite confident that I'm on right track .. at the moment it's sitting on 30,500 triangles
