Quote from S14 DRIFT :

Mm, not sure about that one. It's very nice make no doubt - But the slightly dusted look on the dashboard panel makes me think it's actually been used, rather than been said in a sealed chamber.

Although apart from that, it's, again, a nice improvement!

Slightly dusty is OK, but it looked like the car had been sitting in the scrapyard for years LOL Not "used" as much as abused!!!!

How about a compromise...new clocks WITH dust, but not as much

Still working on the Scirocco (what else is new)

Made the gauge cluster look a little more realistic

After taking a break from photoshopping for a week (had to, my computer motherboard failed!!! Too much photoshopping maybe?)...I'm back at it again

This time around, I took a stab at the steering wheel stitching detail

Still working on the VW Scirocco textures

This time around, I've tackled the seatbelts

How about a set of A-008's with realistic sidewall?

I improved the look of the sidewall

Problem is now, in different lighting conditions, the sidewall colour doesn't match the rest of the tire

i.e. I matched the sidewall printing to the colour of the rest of the tire, on a cloudy afternoon setting, and it looks good, but during a sunset or clear day, it doesn't look as good

I wonder how fine these details can get?
It just keeps getting better and better! Amazing work luathas!

How about some tire mold marks

I didn't want to start another thread for this, so I'll just throw it in here

Noticed there were 2 lines of stitching on the shifter boot. This is for the DSG transmission. The manual seems to only have 1 line of stitching (according to the pics I found) So I modified the stitching and made it white

Added some more details to the tire tread, and I replicated the sidewall

Last edited by luathas, Fri 4 Dec 2009, 12:50.

added shadows to give the tread a more 3D look.....also added texture to the tread blocks and wear bars

Quote from Smurfen :

but cant you make it with transparent alpha layer? would make it better if it works

Tried that. Unfortunately, you need to add the word alpha to the file name for it to work. When you do that, the program won't find the padz.dds file

Quote from Scatter :

You used some transparency didn't you? Nice workaround!

Not really "transparency"....just drew the brake rotor texture onto the caliper polygon

Quote from LFSn00b :

I'd say make it a bit darker(or make it look like it has more depth) and it will look neater.

I agree...I wasn't too happy with my first attempt

How's this? Played around with brightness/contrast a bit

Since I'm on this VW texture marathon, I thought I'd also include a tire texture too

As far as I can tell from the pics I've found on the web, the Scirocco comes with Dunlop SP Sport 01's as OEM tires, so......

LOL

Well, I don't know if they're nice textures until I post them

...and get feedback

Something more like this?

Quote from shiny_red_cobra :

Wow you're really on a marathon, good work btw. I think the orange lines on the rear window are a bit too bright though.

I agree...I'm trying to find a picture, so I can get the correct colour...not having much luck though :doh:

I'm working on improving ALL the textures for the Scirocco. I've been working on them non stop for a month now :Eyecrazy:

I want to release them as a texture pack....be patient, they're coming

made the black areas and defrost grid at higher resolution

P.S. also improved the 3rd brake light

Attempted to make realistic OEM brake calipers

Unfortunately, I'm limited by the polygon shape, but I managed to do this

Last edited by luathas, Fri 4 Dec 2009, 13:02.

I re-did the wheels to look a bit more reflective

...and added a valve stem

Last edited by luathas, Fri 4 Dec 2009, 12:59.

I made interiors based on the VW official website options list, plus one I found while searching the web

Cloth & suede: black, cashmere, silver

leather: black, truffle, black and white (based on a photo I found)

P.S. all colour versions include updated stitching/seam detail
