Happy New Year

From Kami, I hope we all have the best 2019 we can, we'll continue to release mods for everyone to enjoy, and although the CZ4A has been the center of the project desk all this time, we are happy to announce we have more prepared for 2019. Cars, Engines, Parts, nothing half arsed, half baked or rushed, but in a steady pace both you guys contemplate, and us the group can work without having suicidal thoughts.

So remember the switch to the Gran Turismo model? There's a good reason behind it. We want maximum detail and accuracy, and we are willing to do everything in our hands to archieve it, Even if its a small improvement over Forza models (After all, I went through the struggle of extracting it myself). JoeAlex, OG modder in VS offered us his help at the start with his Forza and we can't thank him enough for trusting in us, but it was due to change as the accuracy that the Gran Turismo model is on another level as it was a direct laser scan from a true CZ4A. The pic above is the GTS model with some Forza parts, taking the best of both worlds can make this mod the best as it could be. Thanks Joe for helping us since the beggining, we love you.

We also started to think about other alternatives to do pint point accurate models, taking inspiration from the latest technology used by game developers of today, so we are going to start using photoscanning as a method of doing things, appart from scratch modelling it. We plan to test it with a C-WEst Lan Evo X model kit made by Aoshima as they also scan the real life objects too, then, if it all goes well scan a 4B11T model kit that I'll have to buy someday. If you want to know how, Meshroom :)



And I'm sure that papa BB93 realeased undisputedly the best JZA80 mod out there, but the engine was a bit lack luster. So in addition of the modifications BB93, Gorgoil and other talented modders did on it, we are now going to do a big overhaul on the engine retaining the parts these pros did before.
The 1JZ is almost done nad with few missing tweaks but you can expect it to release on the forums on January 2019. Take it as a appetizer over the real JZ mod pack we are going to release.


(Enjoy this scratch modelled glory)



(Pic by JoeAlex) Another collab with JoeAlex, E43 M3 and 3 series, but we haven't done much to it so we can only show this :P We'll tell you when we actually do something else than this promise.

Talking bout collabs, RedCarDriver let us do some modifications to one of her future mods (no, not the R33), and Skip will help us do mods for Assetto Corsa too, which is pretty cool. Hope we can finish all our plans in 2019 :)

There's so much stuff we want to include but we don't have enough time nor space to do so. Instead of talking of em one by one, here's a list.

Cars:
You just read it all above lmao.

Engines:
1JZ Standalone: Jan 2019.
4B11T: We have some kits done mostly from Jun, HKS and AMS and starting on drag setups.
EJ207/257: Has to be scripted ingame but 3d model for the stock setup is done.
RB26: Tomei, HKS and Greddy parts added.
BMW V8's: Both E92 M3 and E46 M3 GTR engines are planned. We have some 3d stuff done.

Parts:
I can't be arsed to list it all lmao.



Lastly, about the Lan Evo. Of course its not a competition but please don't make it sound it like one, so rush your mod if you want, its not about who's the first one to release it, but who does it better. Don't get burthurt if we don't let you give our model to you because we fucking spent time on them only for someone who is a total stranger to handle, some of us are pretty protective of our things, and some people is harsher than others. That's life for you.

From OG modders from other games and from this game, take your time doing it and think about others, not everyone likes someone who looks deep into his story in the community just to find out who did what and then ask for it.

Enough negativity, Happy New Year guys again, we love you.
