Our ReVolt Pub

i dont know whether having interiors is a good thing, it means more polies and less texture space. but it looks better

your thoughts please? XD

Well, for me more polies means less chance of ENV applied on the car after modelling. Actually I also prefer a car without interior because it matches the original Re-Volt cars better - of course that's just a detail to do, but I would rather see the polies used to make the car look smoother, than creating a interior. As you point out, you also saves texture space that way.

What do you mean by that?

well revolt only applies env to the first 2000 or so polies (if the model is doublesided its only 1000 ish) so if a car is 2000 polies and doublesided only half of the car is shiny, maybe you have the skills to make this possible

heres a screenshot of a 4000 poly car

I hope so too.

I wasn't aware of this bug. It could be good to try to fix it, but it can't do it now. Please fell free to remind it to me in a few day, or to create a topic in the "Development, Projects & Tools" section, as I may forget otherwise.

And that make me think it would be good to have a place where all revolt bugs would be catalogued. Or does it already exist?

DON'T. DON'T. DON'T.
Interiors in Re-Volt look stupid anyway, that's why i don't do them.

I made a new car in max.
It is a 32 ford panel. It is Kinda funky
but it is kinda neat.
No interior no driver no window on the doors.
I will be shipping it to Manmountain soon.
He is very good at the parameters and fixing things.
So look for it some time soon I hope.

I agree with you. Interiors make cars unrealistic and kind of stupid (for me). I refer to Acclaim`s stock cars but when repainting often remove the Pro car`s sponsors becuase full of them and no space of personal creativity

Cars designed to mimic real-life: Yes, have interiors. Cars intended to be RC cars, with the big antenna and such, I would leave them out.

Whatever the case, just be consistent.

Since Re-Volt is supposed to be an RC car game and most of the tracks are for RC cars, I would say leave them out. Plus its a lot of effort for little gain to have an interior, unless you use the same interior for every car, and then what's the point?

make the interior look like a real rc car with motor etc

else, no interior, makes it look kinda weird on a rc car
altough some people make interiors on their real life rc cars too

Imo focus entirely on the car's exterior.

High quality textures, headlights, taillights, wheels....all that stuff.

Interior makes it too...out of reality? in RV when cars are generally RC.


That said, RV clearly needs more muscle cars and JDM cars.

Basically, RV is split into two by now -- RC style tracks and cars, and RL (real-life) style tracks and cars. For RL style, interiors are ok (even more so when considering the WolfR4 option of bonnet view ("Don't hide the car...")).
