After more than 1 month's full-time work on this mod, I'm excited to present you: the Grand Prix 2001 for Automobilista and rFactor. All cars are faithfully recreated based on the legendary Grand Prix 4 game released in 2002. This will be part of the Grand Prix Evolution mod. The update will be released soon after all the testing and final works are finished.
If you don't know about the Grand Prix Evolution mod yet, you can watch its trailer here.
Stay tuned for future updates!
Here is the comprehensive list of changes:
- Combined individual body part meshes from the original game into a single body part mesh. Removed unnecessary body part damage meshes, as car body break-offs during collisions are not supported in AMS or rFactor.
- Carefully reapplied smoothing to all cars to achieve a perfectly smooth look for the car bodies.
- Fixed all UV overlapping issues in the original model, enabling the ambient occlusion to be baked onto the textures.
- Fixed all UV mapping issues present in the original mesh, including misaligned UVs, incorrectly mapped body parts, and improperly unwrapped UVs, greatly improving the cars' appearance.
- Addressed numerous topology problems in the original mesh that caused an uneven look for the car bodies.
- Remapped UVs for the rear body parts and rear wing, now featuring highly detailed carbon fiber textures.
- Adjusted the cockpit width of the Sauber, Prost, BAR, and Benetton cars, as the original cockpits were too wide or too narrow.
- Remodeled all cars' rearview mirrors to enhance their detail.
- Remodeled all cars' engine air intakes to make them look more realistic.
- Increased the body height of some cars, as the originals appeared too close to the ground.
- Altered the shape of some car body parts to prevent collisions with other meshes.
- Fixed numerous asymmetry issues present in the original mesh.
- Added body damage meshes for all cars that will be exposed after heavy collisions.
- Numerous other small fixes.
