Hi, started work on this model I bought from cgtrader.
I attached some photos of the progress I've made so far. Mesh was not optimized for games so most of the work I've done is just optimizing stuff so it looks kinda good.

Gonna post some photos in chronological order of work done.

First two days were spent organizing the groupings, texturing, and optimizing most of the exterior.
Third day I started work on the interior, going the same route as with the exterior; Remodelled the door cards so they're more faithful to reality, and focused a lot on texturing.
Today I found some very good suspension references which I used to get a pretty close replica of the suspension geometry.
Will update some more as I work on it.

I exported it with triangulated mesh, but for some reason it didnt work. By the time someone gave me a solution i was arleady done with the groupings😅, i appreciate the help though!

If i can quote a country mate that's commentating our french races : OH LA LA!

Added HVAC textures and modelled the toolbox in the back.
No major progress due to lack of motivation.

Modelled the steering wheel, rear heat shield and exhaust, along with finishing up the dials and texturing on the interior. Car is almost ready to be published.

Great job on the interior! Can't wait to see it published!!

Thank you, it's up for review now.

I have found a little issue, I don't know if you're aware of it, but the speedometer isn't accurate

Thank you, i'll push an update later tonight.

Hi Vlad, magnificiant job for this car ! I have a suggestion, because i try to do a livery on it. It seem that the top of the door is non skinable, it turn instant into a white thing, even when you paint it on the livery. Can you do something to avoid it? Screen is attach to the comment. Thank you and take care

Should be fixed now, thanks for noticing.

Great fix, but i found another one, only on 1 side

top work, very french 🥖🤏

Beautiful! Maybe a Group B rally can be created too?

Skin mapping need to be fix, some tris isn't correctly mapped.
Blue : Dashboard tris map to right side
Red : Back is not aligned with front

Top job
Short wheelbase RWDs are often interesting to setup and drive. This one has great handling, u can even get some fun in tight corners.

I wonder what Jean Ragnotti would think of the mod , he was the great master of that car.

Thank you all for the kind words, i'll update what you guys have found soon, however i would rather not change the skin mapping at this point. There's arleady been a few skins done for this car, and i dont want to risk any disturbance in that, and the mappings not being aligned i dont see as a huge issue, just a minor inconvenience. Thank you anyhow

I can confirm it's just a minor inconvenience, nothing impossible to deal with

I have made a couple of iconic rally skins, i'll share them later, if you are interested you can include them with the mod
