How the tournament works & Tournament Rules

Each round everyone makes an automation replica of a specific IRL car. The main purpose of this challenge is (1) to have fun with automation (2) to give you an opportunity to advance your design skills, because I believe that the best way to learn designing automation cars is via replicating what actual proffesional designers did before.

Making a replica doesn't mean that the design process is much less interesting or creative though. As you find yourself trying to make the exact shapes and proportions of the IRL model, you will have to show your prowess in using the tools which automation (and Steam Workshop mods) gives you.

Please, pay close attention to the full πŸ‘‰ Tournament Rules .

Background to the round

As this is the first round, I decided to pick something simple. We'll be doing the pre-facelift 5-door hatchback 1967-1973 Simca 1100.




For reference, use the following πŸ‘‰ Google images .

For the design, use the following automation body: Simple 1100 1962 Hatchback (60s_EU_S1100_FLH_1_4T_PD)

This isn’t like RDC where the task is to create an alternate timeline version of a real-life car, but rather a challenge in which entrants have to create the most faithful replica of a given IRL car, as specified by the host.

Yes, exactly. The goal is to create as faithful replica as you can.

Hum. I might join if I have time, sounds interesting.

Replicating stuff is indeed a great way to learn new techniques. I’ve been wanting to do something similar on my own just to practice some things.

I may give this a shot if I have time. I already see some things that will be very tricky. Automation could definitely use some more fixtures, even just a bunch of basic ones in a variety of shapes.
