Yeah, that dude is a real pussy magnet.

Have to demo this "invention" to one big company next week so maybe you'll find this in stores soon :P Prolly not

Quote from Bob Smith :

And don't look at me for that!

I already do

deggis,
No, FPS games would need position information. With leaning it would be too hard. Position information would be achieved by integrating the data twice and again, I don't know how to make program that gets the data from game controller, modifies it, and then games use that modified data.

Not hard thing to do for sure, but I have no clue about that stuff.

Quote from ORION :

lol @this pic Sniiki

What?
Mine definitely looks better! doesn't it? :P

(but that guy looks like a retard... atleast with that glove in his hand, either of them)

Still would need sofware based filtering.. too bad that I don't have such programming skills.

~10mins soldering stuff in place
~30mins cutting that acrylic X

I used MJoy16 wiring & software for USB controller and g-sensors are easy to connect, just placed additional filter on signal wire.

spankmeyer, to the links?

Didn't remember such a thing

Wasn't there a control glove for playstation too? But that thing had just the control buttons attached to a glove nothing else, no motion sensing, nothing :P

Think we need something bigger

Thanks for comments

Dan Hot: that's very true :P

WGooden: Something like that yes. The idea is to make it more multifunktional though.

It's for 3d modeling purposes

Data-claw's first proto version ready
So had to test it right away in LFS although I didn't build it for that purpose.
Anyway, it's REALLY fun to drive with this
There's still too much noise but it really is just a very early test version.

Very nice renders Riqhteus, especially the 2 fist ones

PS. I was working on similar scene but now I don't want to post any copyscenes :P

Ori:
Hehe, well it's always nice to hear if my 3d looks even more real than the real :P
Left one is photo (from some free image libruary), tho I think it has had some photoshop work too and of course I can't be 100% sure about this. But if you for example take a look for the big pipe and fences at right side of the road, they have that irregular curvature which refers to a real pic.

concrete texture is low res yes, but it will get some DOF effect there and then it will be irrelevant

Madman:
Akward or not, it exists somewhere on this planet:

and the lights are not texture, they are modeled.

XCNuse:
Yes I know, I just modeled them like they are in the original texture. But I agree that some more stuff inside the lights would maybe look better.

yeah would look better with driver in

Picture vs modeled:

Spinnenbein:
"because its not your design" ?
Im quite sure that those lights and rims are my design

ORION, you're right about the lightning, thanks for the feedback

Im doing this only for fun but sure it sucks if someone doesn't even want to give any credits for you for your work..
Shit happens..

About this render here; the desert pic is from google and it's just a test so hopefully no-one gets mad when I borrowed it.
If someone wants to donate some nice landscape pics I'd be very thankfull

Yeah, don't have any high hopes for it but FO1 is surely better than crashday so FO2 will prolly be too.

I kind of waited this game since it's fun to do some wrecking now and then but is this a joke?
Yea yea it's an arcade game and they wanted it to be like stunts but did they have to make the handling JUST like in stunts? Actually stunts felt better than this..
If it's about wrecking and big airs it should have atleast some sort of feeling but now it has nothing. This is just like Twisted Metal games.
Really isn't even fun to play imo.
Waiting for the Flat Out 2....

Only good thing in this game is graphics, looks very good (although effects are bit overdone but that suits for this kind of game) and still runs very smoothly.

Thanks guys!

(DSD)racer: Seems you have edited a pic with photoshop or some other 2d program so it's not actually a render since it's not made in 3d program.
There is a thread for edited pics.
Not that this would be a big thing

About your picture, you should add a shadow under the car, now it seems to be floating there.
