I finally take the time to explain the new C1 (and maybe C2) material type. Based on SimpMats, with custom lighting, custom shading and custom colors.

Untextured materials with custom lighting
Carmageddon 1
Five C1 cars!
Five C1 cars released! TTR's TheBeast and Jaws from TDR, plus his red XA Falcon from MadMax2, heavily optimized (see previous posts). But also my old NewSuppressor port from TDR and a new TDR port: TheMachine!They are all full featured (but the damn cockpit frame ofcourse, I'm no Econo~ They have […]
Lowpolyfying the RedBat Rocky
I spent two days cleaning and preparing TTR's RedBat Rocky. It's not yet fully done as I need to reinstall MAX8 in order to use the render2texture tool to capture the smoothing groups on the texture (should have done that with the wastemaro as well...). So yeah it's almost like a 90% optimisation, […]
Night Track for C1
Some good news! First I'm done with my part of the job on the C2 desert. I made it evolve from a 10k triangles to a 160k tris environment, no need to tell you that you won't ever loose the control of your car because of the blocky terrain again! Smooth like hell. Let's all wish good luck and […]
Wastemaro
TTR's Wastemaro port to C1 is done. Download it at RR2000. […]
C1 actualities
I'm currently working TTR's Wastemaro, and it is already ingame. I optimized it a lot too : from 4234 tris to 953 :) It will probably be done quickly. But I took the time to experiment a new thing : integrate a SimpMat in the car's .mat file ! SimpleMaterials have specific attributes, like they are […]
Birdy plane
The day has come for Birdy to rise and shine, for real. And the C1-style! I made it based on that old Stainless Games artwork, but took the proportions (kinda) of a Cessna. That artwork was totaly off. I made the the model in MAX with 208 triangles, and the textures in Photoimpact, the pixelart way. […]
Icons!
Is icon tiem nao, Gourmet Carmageddon! That last one is the current one. The two other ones are included in the pack anyway.
Birdy and bugs
BIrdy is almost done, and actually if TTR wasn't there it would be already released. But thanks to TTR it will be better. :]It's a nice piece of lowpolyness, with quite effective pixelarty textures. It will end up in my portfolio heh. In other news, I noticed the C1 APC actually has a bonnet for the […]
More bugs!
The one in the third reich is not enough. I want more of them! MORE BUGS! So yeah a friend told me the Bugatti didn't work ingame, crashed the game directly. At that point I realized I never saw that car ingame and never played it. Gave it a try and indeed it crashed. Same thing for the Sled. I […]
