Brianza JR Circuit Re-brand - rFactor

I have edited the existing Brianza JR circuit to allow me to easily change the adverts displayed on the advertisement boards shown around the track. This allows you to put in your own company logo or different company logos depending on who you are showing your simulator off to.

If you have a track that you would like to have re-branded with different logo's then please do not hesitate to get in touch and I will see what I can do.

Modified Late Model 3D Car for rFactor

One of the projects that I have worked during last year was to produce a Modified Late Racing Car (MRC), which is a specific race series in the USA. The car has been modelled in 3DS Max, from measurements supplied by the client based on there actual car. It was then converted to run inside rFactor with the clients own car physics and racers custom skins.

Have a look at my facebook page for more images and details of other projects that I have worked on. www.facebook.com/MarkShires3d

Paul Fletcher International Kart - Track Updates

Last year one of my projects involved working on updating the existing Paul Fletcher International Kart track (PFI), to the current standard (at the time). The track was updated so that it would run inside of rFactor. If you are familiar with the actual track, hopefully you can spot the changes shown below that have brought the track up to its current configuration.

Break off the existing track, shortly after the first corner.

Which takes you under the newly added bridge.

A long rising corner brings you back on top of the newly added bridge that you have just passed under.

A quick downhill to rejoin with the existing track.

Further smaller changes were also made around the track, but the images show the major change that I made to the track.

Toronto Motorsports Park (Cayuga) - rFactor Release

The Toronto Motosports Park track, that I created a while back has finally been released and is available to download and run inside rFactor.

For further details and the link to download the track, please see my facebook page at www.facebook.com/Mark.Shires.3d

Area 27 Track - Jacques Villeneuve

A project that I have been working on recently involved creating a pre-visualisation of a race track designed by Jacques Villeneuve. The race track was modelled to work in rFactor, so that it could be loaded onto a simulator supplied by VRX, which enabled it to be drivable and raced upon long before development of the actual real world track was built. In doing this it allowed changes to be made to its design and layout so that it would drive exactly how Jacques had envisioned it to.

One of the latest videos showing a lap being driven of the track is shown below;

For further information regarding the development of the Area 27 Track, a further video has been produced which should give you all the information. Also watch out for my Track being used on the Simulator part way through the video.

Asphalt Late Car Model - rFactor

Another recently completed project involved me creating an Asphalt Late Car Model, that is able to run inside rFactor.

The car model is fully compatible with rFactor, and has working internal dials (gauges), steering wheel as well as working wheels and multiple camera views.

For anyone interested, on my facebook page www.facebook.com/markshires3d you will find some work in progress shots that I posted along the way.

I am available for freelance work making car models or track models, or anything else. If you are interested then please do not hesitate to contact me through my website www.markshires.com

Toronto Motorsport Park (Cayuga) - Closer Look at some of the Objects

Yesterday I posted about my recently completed Race Track, Toronto Motorsport Park.

I have decided to showcase some of the assets that I have created whilst working on the track, so that you can look at them in more detail.

One of the main objects that I have created was the Grand Stands/Bleachers.

I believe this building to be the race control building but  I could be wrong.

A Metal Structure found at the start of the track.

Some generic hut building that is located over towards the main grandstands.

Now you have seen some of the more interesting objects have a look out for them around my track.

Toronto Motorsport Park (Cayuga) - rFactor Track

I have finally completed the Toronto Motorsport Park (Cayuga) Track and have run a few test laps in the rFactor engine.

I have used F1 cars to show it off as it is the start of the new F1 season and is fairly topical at the moment.

I have also made video showing a lap of the track, running in rFactor, which can be seen below.

For further details about the track go to www.torontomotorsportspark.com. If you would like to see more images of my track either go to my facebook page or to my website www.markshires.com where you will also find my contact details if you have a track or another project that you would like to be completed.

rFactor Track Re-branding

I have just completed some work for TripleWidescreen who required me to change the advertising on a circuit which could be used inside the game engine rFactor.

I believe this was then used to show to one of their clients. The track shown is the Silverstone F1 circuit.

This is just another example of the work that I can produce, How would your logo look on a track side advert?

Toronto Motorsport Park (Cayuga) - rFactor Track

A project that I am currently working on is to reproduce the Toronto Motorsport Park race track, for use in the rFactor game.

The Track layout is shown above which shows the three different configurations for the track.

A short video clip of what my track should look like when it is complete.
I will keep you updated as and when I have anything to share with you.

Bloomquist Dirt Car - V-Ray Render

One of my previous posts showed a low poly dirt car model that I produced to run in rFactor for the guys at  the Dirt Late Model Sim group.

To Create this model I made a High Poly version which I then used to bake my texture and normal maps from.

Shown here are some renders of the High Poly version that I created with some materials applied and rendered out using V-Ray.

 You can see the Low Poly version running inside rFactor in one of my other previous posts. Also remember to have a look at the dirt late model sim group by visiting there website http://www.dirtlatemodelsim.com

rFactor Bloomquist Dirt Car

Here are some screen grabs of my latest work the Bloomquist Dirt Car that I have re-modeled for the guys in the Dirt Late Model Sim group. 

The car is shown running in rFactor. I also have a High Res version which I have used to bake the normal maps from, which I will post in the coming days once I have applied some materials and rendered it out.

For more information on the Dirt Late Model Sim group check out there website;  www.dirtlatemodelsim.com

Radical SR8 rFactor Simulation at the London International Technology Show

I have just finished re-skinning a car that is to be used in a simulator running rFactor, which is on show at the London International Technology Show.

The Radical SR8 is a lightweight, high aero performance car represented

within ISI's rFactor simulation.

www.triplewidescreen.co.uk is using the vehicle on the VRX iMotion simulator
in partnership with Scan computers at the London International Technology
Show. Most of us will never have a chance to drive a vehicle like this, let
alone at race circuits all over the world. Now you can!
