nikko circuit

hi, so here goes another new map for carx, nikko circuit this time :D. someone might be like "wait, didnt you do nikko before?" rn and yes, this is actually 4th nikko i have done over the past 13 years lmao

this time i essentially combined 2 maps into one. road layout, some of its surrounding areas and some other details are from frlegends nikko, and pretty much everything else comes from my third version of the old nikko for rfactor by MIAMIAK, that i already reworked quite heavily back then. ofcourse combining 2 tracks into 1 meant that i had to remodel and retexture it even more, lel. i also remodelled the entire hill next to the straight and put a shitton of trees there to make it more accurate, made a fake hill next to the track so it doesnt look so empty there and some other details like updated signs, buildings placement etc. i gotta say some of details like this might not be 100% accurate as they seem to change stuff like this pretty often even irl and personally i find the road layout more important, but hey, its still better and more up to date than the original rfactor one is haha.

anyways, i think it ended up really good and im very happy with the result :).

and just like with hiroshima from the last post, i also made a preview video for nikko :D.

so here it is :).

that will be all for today, so i will see you next time with who knows what, lmao.

speedway hiroshima circuit

...well, it didnt took long and im now messing with custom maps for carx aswell lmao. anyways hi, so here goes my first custom map :D. well technically its a second one, but more about the first one in another post. this one is a speedway hiroshima, despite it was around only for 4 years irl, its still one of my most favorite japanese circuits :D. if you follow me for longer time, you might remember that i have done hiroshima for gta twice already, first one i made from scratch 11 years ago, and second one that was a 90sGDSP one from asseto that i have converted few years back. this time around im once again using a completely different mesh, its originally from FR Legends. for how low poly it is, its actually pretty nice and accurate, just the textures and some details are lacking, so i ended up retexturing allmost the whole thing :D. besides retexturing i also did some slight remodelling, mainly on the trees and paddock buildings to add some details and such. ofcourse i also made allmost every texture to have an normal map, so the map doesnt look like made out of plastic ingame, lel.

all in all i think it ended up pretty good, still simple and low poly, but good looking :D.

and since pictures usally dont do maps justice, i also made a preview video, wich is something i havent done in years now lol.

thats probably all there is to it, so here it is :D

 so this is all for this time, i actually have 2 maps in the works, but more about that later. so until then, see ya ;D.

S14

hi, so here goes another build in carx :D. an navan s14 zenki this time. i cant even remember when was the last time i did anything with any s14, but its been years for sure lol. this time around essentially everything on this car is my own custom parts because carx zenki quite sucks, so i just went and spent week fixing it, lol, but i will go into more detail about this futher down this post. other than thats its relatively low hp build, somewhere around 300hp. very happy with this one :D.

not gonna bore you with my stupid blabbering anymore, i think the pics speak for themself haha. as per usual there are some relases to go trough, so here we go:

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

s14 zenki pack

zenki in this game is fucking terrible, so i set on a week long journey to fix this pile of shit. it contains 17 parts such as oem bumpers, grille, some oem acessoryes such as fog lights and a lip for stock bumper, and also a full navan bodykit. majority of it was made from scratch by me, using some parts from 41aeimi as a base. as per usual just load it in, no moving necessary.

theres a few things to know:

-sadly you cant just copy the body color and its there, you will have to play with it and make it abit darker. thats a bug that seems to happen to quite a bit of custom parts and i cant do nothing about it.

-to use any of the sideskirts included in this pack, first select any aftermarket sideskirts in the body catalog, and then disable them in kino

-keep the kouki headlights in place, do not disable them. this overlays them fully, so the headlights will still work

recaro sr3 pack

now that removing body parts with kino is a thing, i figured its about time i bring these old recaros ive been using in gta for years over to the carx too. no idea who made them originally, but i have reworked them quite a bit over the years.

i also made some new patterns etc, everything is based on the real sr3's.

thanks to a few members of hipshake discord server for some of the textures i used

and also similary to the last post, there is also a new video i made few days ago. damn im on fire with new videos this year lmfao. 

so that will be all for today. i actually have one more build in the progress, i actually took a break from that for the s14 sake. wink wink it haz something to do with the car thats vissible in the avs vs6 pics ;). but more about that once its actually done, lel. so till then see ya ;D.

another ae86 build

...and also another yellow one, sitting on white wheels, what can i say, i like this look, haha. anyways hi, i have finished another build in carx, another ae86, a coupe this time. cant even remember when i done a coupe for the last time again, lol. this one is a more modern approach than the hatch i done earlyer, its not even the lowest hp possible this time around, lel. the look of this is pretty simple, goodline front bumper, trd style rear wing and white te37's, cant go wrong with that :D. i made the goodline bumper and te37s myself, but ofcourse there is some more custom parts on this one, haha. i originally wanted to make some kind of livery for this one, but the uv map of this model is kinda fucked, so i just did some stickers on the windows, wich looks good too.

so yeah, not gonna bore you with anymore blabbering, im pretty happy with how this one turned out :D. as per usual im gonna relase some the parts i made to make this possible, but this time around there are also some relases unrelated to this build. so here we go:

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

ae86 coupe improvements

really had no idea what to name this lol

contains stock mirrors from hatchback version, rear licenceplate lights, trunk trim that goes in between rear tails and paintable sidetrims in more realistic size (the ones i made for hatch dont fit the coupe too well)

mirrors, sidetrims and platelights are paintable

just load it in, no moving or scalling is necessary

and one last thing, i also made a new video once again, this time with the miata from the last post. so check it out if you want :D.

thats all there is for now. i dont have any new build going on at the moment, but that will change eventually haha. untill then, see ya ;).

NA

hi, so here goes another my build in carx, as mentioned in the last post, this time its an NA miata. i cant even remember when was the last time i done any miata regardless of game, but im pretty sure its over 10 years now lmao. i figured im gonna change this, as i actually had an idea for an NA for quite a while now. i was even considering doing it in gta, but as mentioned in the carina post, im really kind of over doing anything of this nature for gta...so i just went and done it in carx, lol.

so, the idea for the NA was simple. factory red (based on brochure), sitting on white buddyclub p1's, chargespeed front spoiler, oem trunk spoiler, and that was pretty much it.  but during the process of building this thing i also decided to add oem rear lip and oem sideskirts too. obviously none of these parts exist in carx, so i just had to go and make all of it myself lol. well besides the p1's, i found those on steam workshop atleast lmao. the devs of carx decided to make an euro version of NA for whatever reason, so i also made a rear garnish for small licence plate, as japanese plate hanging from euro cutout was a weird look.

well, you can see the result on the pics below. i gotta say it came out even better than what i envisioned, it also handles and drifts great, so im really happy with how this ended up :D.

and just like the last time, im also relasing all of the parts i have made for NA, of wich majority was used on this build. enjoy :D.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

NA rear garnish for small plate

ae86 build is done + some downloads ;)

hi, sort of continuing from where i left in the last post, the ae86 is now done too :D. i decided to ditch the advan paint scheme for now and go with the usual panda scheme. whats not so usual is, i decided to go with a silver one. ive done a bunch of white and red ones over the years but somehow never the silver one. i think it looks pretty good :D. all of the livery work was done by me including the stickers, i even tryed to mimick the brown factory windows tint and i think that went pretty well too. i also learned how to do custom objects and done quite a bit of them on this one, the main ones are the oem sports package and a new headlights with grille, as the stock game ones are rather terrible, and some other things. other than that, its once again an low hp build.

so yeah, i think it ended up pretty good, and handles really nice too :D.

ive also recorded another video using it, once again i wasnt even planning on recording anything and the car is quite unfinished in it (i considered doing a red panda for a while), but whatever lol

so yeah, thats it for this build, but were not done here yet. i have decided to be relasing all of those parts i made, and used on this build :D. so here you go: 

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

ae86 new sidetrims

paintable and resized as the original ones were abit too small.

with 3door ae86 you just load it in, no moving necessary, with 2door one you will need to move them down and scale the width abit

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

ae86 oem sports package

this set contains front lip, sideskirts and rear mudflaps.
lip is just the original one but paintable, rest was made from scratch. there is both levin and trueno versions of mudflaps.

lip sadly does not fit propertly anywhere else than on 3door levin. mudflaps does not fit propertly anywhere else than on 3door ae86.

with 3door ae86 you just load it in, no moving necessary, with 2door one you will need to move them down.

to archieve an actual full sports package, use the stock spoiler as its the correct one

ae86 levin new front lights

normal levin headlights look like shit, so i made new ones.

includes all the zenki grill variants and nicer front bumper indicators.

with 3door ae86 you just load it in, no moving necessary, with 2door one you will need to move them down. bumper indicators doesnt fit 2door one as good, but they can be fitted.

! keep the stock headlights in place, do not remove them !

so yeah, thats all for this time. im already working on another build, a NA miata as i havent done one in many many years and i have an idea for one for quite a while now. but about that once its done, see you then ;D.

Fun with CarX

hi, its been a while again, lel. when it comes to modding, i havent touched gta in a few years now again, honestly after all these years i really might be kinda bored of it...but lately ive been messing with carx quite a bit. so far i really like it, drifting there feels pretty similar to what im used to from gta, modding it is pretty easy and the map and car selection is really nice, making mods for it isnt that bad either too...might this actually actually be something worth replacing gta with? ive been looking for something like that for years now as doing this in open world game simply comes with its downsides. i tryed various games over the years but allways ran into some problems that made me go back to gta, but with carx, so far i havent ran into any major dealbreaker. well, well see what will happen, haha.

for now let me show you what ive been working on so far.

first up is my first build, an aa63 carina, because ofcourse i had to just choose one of the most overlooked cars on the car list lmao. a low hp build (lowest i could get without kino atleast), build to be as close to the real gt-r trim, and while it might not look like it, it involved quite a bit of livery work. basically all the black trims on the bumpers, sides, and various stuff like this, majority of it has been done by me. also the yellow is based on an actual carina brochure. the advan decals and windshield banner are by me, rest is from discord. i also added modded foglights, ultranorsk and licence plates using kino. someone might have recognised the wheels. its my old tom's igeta's that i recently converted to carx :D yeah, i already started to dig into it myself, haha. i think thats really all there is to this car.

 

 

 

 

 

 i really enjoy driving this one, easy to handle, and im really happy how it ended up looking like :D. i actually also recorded a video with it (from a replay) wich also didnt happen in years lmao. its been recorded during the time i was working on this carina so its not 100% finished look wise there, also the back fire was kinda messed up at the time of recording (fixed it since then) and its prolly not the cleanest run on ohiradai you will ever see as im still getting the hang of it, but i think it ended up pretty good :D

 

next up is this advan trueno. honestly i dont think i can really call this a build yet. the main purpose of even doing this was to practice with the livery editor, and i figured advan livery is an easy place to start, so i made this whole design myself :D. other than that there really isnt much to it besides kino licenceplates and ultranorsk because ofcourse. i think im gonna work on this some more pretty soon, but im not sure if i will actually keep it in advan livery. well see haha.

 so yeah, thats all for now but its deffo not all for carx, as i have a bunch of ideas for custom parts, wheels and builds. it might actually be quite abit less than several years till the next post, so see you then ;D.
