Cars in Color
Added 2022-01-17 19:06:48 +0000 UTCFinally had some time to get the car's texturing done, and I'm really happy with the results!
The different color variations (as well as the taxi and cop configurations) provide some nice variety already, even if it's all the same car, technically.
In the game, the textures are pretty low-res (512x512) – but except for the free camera mode, you'll never get that close to the cars, anyway, and I should try to reduce memory usage wherever I can. Also, it makes the look a bit more consistent, because the cars won't have a much higher resolution than the surroundings.
(But if I do feel the need to increase the level of detail, I can always just export higher resolution versions of the textures.)
In the next step, I need to properly set up the car as a destructible object, so it switches to the damage model (the one without windows and doors), has tires and doors fall off, etc.
Other than that, I think this car is 'done!' So I can move on to the next car type, soon: A van.
Thank You!
