Judgement Round 1: The Walkaround Part 8
Sorry for the lengthy delays. I’m just doing what I can to stay sane and healthy and that did involve not playing videogames for a while. I’ll still be cranking out the last bits here over the next couple of weeks or so, and then onto the lengthier analysis.
customary irrelevant preamble follows
I’ve been on a strict diet and exercise regimen lately, because when I’m in social isolation I find additional ways to exert control over my life. I’d already been trying since before the quarantine stuff started, and had managed to get from 17% body fat to 13%. I’ve actually managed to whittle it all the way down to just above 10%, and am now actually at the point of transitioning between cutting and bulking. I’ve been leaner than this before, but this may actually end up being the best built I’ve been my whole life.
Also I’ve been playing a lot of tennis against the wall. Maybe I should start entering local tournaments when restrictions lift…

I saw your travails from time to time on Discord. The struggle is real
Oh, this is not what I was expecting.
I thought you were gonna go ahead with that hyper wagon. This really switches my gears up somewhat.
Anyway, here we are with one of the few front-engined coupes. The general idea seems alright enough, if a bit “this is actually a sports car that’s been heavily modified with race parts”. Also that front grille is actually very difficult to stamp across a seam, as you’ve discovered.
No surprises here.
…no further comment is forthcoming on this view
Yeah you’re definitely pitching a bit below hyper here. Like you are starting to get the basic bits down but modern hyper kind of goes a bit bolder and harder on the shapes and bodywork. Consider the only other recent front-engined example I can immediately think of right now, the Vulcan:
photo grabbed from EVO
Yes, the Vulcan is track-only, but the way the Acinonyx is looking you kind of were heading that direction. See how the bodywork is a bit more integrated up top and dramatic down the bottom. It’s not even that recent but it does herald the trends in bodywork.
Yeah you could have pulled off the roofline and the part where the bonnet meets the windshield a bit better. Also where’s the aerial? If you’re using a luxury HUD it probably should have had a shark fin…

Yeah I can see what you mean. It’s not like you did anything actively wrong but I can see that it just didn’t feel like it was fully coming together and you struggled to make something that really stood out. When it comes to front-engined cars it’s kind of hard to do that. There’s few examples to choose from and you have to be mindful not to do any weird shit with the body because the engine is like right there. But there are, as you can now see, ways to make sure that treatment remains focused elsewhere.
So yeah I won’t be taking this one further. But it’s not like you did anything egregiously bad that I have to

Well you’re right about that! What is this exactly? The bug eyed headlights are straight off a kit car or a restomod or those cars you know go batshit fast but probably fall apart if you so much as prod it cough TVR cough. It’s… not the usual hyper approach, as far as I can tell.
This is where concern kicks in. Some very clever construction techniques are being used here to really play with shape, build upon a concept. The GT side skirts, soon discovered to be more finicky to use in more than precisely one application, have been duplicated and manipulated quite cleverly here. But in lowering the window sill line (a good move), the roofline remains too high (not a good move) and so the proportions become all very awkward.
How do you make a Porsche not a Porsche? next slide please
It took me a while to figure out how the hell you did this. I wouldn’t have thought to use that fixture there.
But part of the reason for that is because roof lines do not transition to a rear window like that lmao.

Zacspeed Zenith
Choice quote from @chiefzach2018 :
hope you have as much fun checking it out as I made it!
debating whether I should sink a beer first
… nah let’s do this one sober.
Wew this is bold. To be frank, Zach’s early designs suffered from a “squaring” of fixtures and some very heavy blocking/ This, here, shows much improved refinement, though there are still some rough edges. Some of those vents are pointing in directions that don’t actually make sense.
My other bugbear, and this is going to be repeated multiple times, is that the subframe of the car is starkly visible through the bodywork. We’ll have to work out a way around this.
Looking from the side the lines and flow of the car start to really take shape and I’m loving it.
What I’m loving less, again, is the subframe poking out through the side. This is a shame. Unfortunately, rendering the frame invisible in designer mode does not change anything in export mode.
If there was a way around that, I’d want to keep this side as it is.
Hold up, I know what inspired this.
Okay so maybe I’m just blowing my own trumpet and over-crediting myself here. There’s an actual purpose to my self-insert here though.
For the most part I really like the idea. It’s also been meticulously constructed. But it does come with some issues, namely with the limitations of the game causing designs that don’t flow.
Note that the Zacspeed’s lower rear end seems to come straight down and there’s some of that squarish blocking going on again, whereas on my design it’s more tapered. It’s just really hard to get the bodywork looking elegant the way things stamp even if you nega tape it to hell. As a result the resign looks a bit less “real” or aerodynamically elegant.
I do dig those tail lights though.
haha bro I’ve been seeing these proliferate in certain corners of the community but this is really just egregious
This is however an overall much more successful take on “blanketing the entire canopy with a single fixture”. And the silhouette of the car from this angle is quite hot.

EMAS Ultima
Choice quote from @kookie :
hi strop, i hope this works…
So do I. Let’s see…
Well this is awkward, it’s missing mods. I don’t know which ones. And if I go back online, Automation will update and probably wreck the cars, so I can’t fix it.
I did take a fairly close look at the photos and I can’t see the difference immediately, so it’ll have to do for now.
You’ve got my attention now. This does make an immediate impact, the sharp aggressive headlights (not sure I would have used those inserts but small details). The ridge outlining the border of the fascia. I’m not certain that the lower fascia design works (the downslope creates a bit of a weird impression) but it’s a solid idea and can be developed.
This is not exactly the most sophisticated approach. What I can say is that at least it is clean. And the bottom part with the sculpted black does create a nice shape. It’s just, with something of this level, you know plenty more can be done there to complete the look.
I’ll also take this opportunity to point out that I actually made an “Ultima” of my own back in 2017 as a cheaper entry-level supercar but this is kind of old history so really don’t worry about it. That said probably only like another 5 users have used the same name. Either way that didn’t affect the judging.
I quite like this. It’s not completely out-there, but it has plenty of aggression and is fairly well structured.
This is pretty convincing. Simple, and conforming very much to the body of the car, but it does well with it. Neat and tidy with subtler touches.
The only thing I would say is that perhaps using that vent scaled up for the rear window wasn’t the best choice. The shape it generates is nice but it can be a bit low-res at that size.
Aesthetics
This is the first time I’m going to say it doesn’t seem to try to be anything else than a hypercar. Does it make it kind of generic? Perhaps. But it does seem to work.

Okay THIS is more like it. Sharp, angular, aggressive.
Some of the trim choices and the choice of the lip under the main front grille to create an extra ridge seems a bit superfluous. Intentional or a construction defect? I don’t know!
Like, bits like this are a bit messy. This may also be the result of playing on a potato computer.
You have managed to come up with an integrated and resculpted side profile of a body I haven’t even dared to style. This shit is wild. I love the idea.
Look closely enough and certain bits don’t really sit well though. We can hopefully find a way to clean it up.
Because from this angle it’s pretty rad.
The ACA modern design language comes out pretty strong in this. I would have taken a slightly different approach myself but I am not complaining.

This is not bad. It’s kind of a cool idea. I swear I saw a concept car, maybe it was from Cadillac, that had a similar feel. Is it hypercar though? Or is it a regular sports car with, again, a shit ton of details in the grille bits?

Judgement Round 1: The Walkaround Part 10
So the worst case scenario has happened folks. I had to update my Steam client, and when I did this, Automation sneakily attempted to update. I stopped it, but then it refused to open without me finishing the update.
As far as I can tell, this has stuffed the MDHL mod, plus probably a few more. I’ll have to cross-reference photos as submitted in the thread.
On the plus side, I already looked at almost all of the remaining cars. There are only 6 left. The problem is that my ugly screenshots are going to be missing some parts and will not do the designs justice. Please bear with me.
Legore Mannaro
Choice quote from @mythrin:
the final dance of our 6-litre V12 in it’s most powerful iteration
Not giving me much to work with here! Let’s just get into it.
As mentioned the MDHL lights got stuffed. The original photo looked like so:
For some strang reason this makes me think of something between a whale shark and a catfish. Interesting structure, but not a bad one. Strong shapes and impressions from the get go.
The vent on the hood is a little odd. I’m not positive I’d know how to direct air going through there. But that’s a minor note.
Fairly convincing, if not perfectly constructed side panel. I can see the visual rationale for leaving a large blank space, but I’m just not convinced that it’s… fully convincing. More on this later.
I apologise. The lights have gone missing. For the record, even without them, this is still a pleasantly striking and tightly constructed rear end.
Getting some real Speedtail vibes here, so if that was what you were going for, well done. It works. I don’t have any complaints, but the reason I picked this specific angle is simply to mention that you may wish to use Chickenbiscuit’s shape moulding mods for transparent windows instead of the Negatape.
Now, to go back to that thing I mentioned earlier:
I can see what you were shooting for. This is a tricky one to fully achieve because due to the border of that vent, which is the appropriate shape, the border forces me to suspend a certain disbelief that the body was sculpted in such a way so the flow between the side and the top is not disrupted. That’s hard, especially when this body has a big sharp ridge. It works better on bodies which are more rounded such as the Mclaren body which I used to make Mercury. I was kind of able to pull a similar (but inverted) effect off on the LaFerrari body which also has a sharp angle but that took a lot of weird trickery.

Holy shit this looks aggressive on an older body. All those ridges and lines and interlocked shapes…
…but it doesn’t actually sculpt or alter the shape of the body itself. Granted, this model comes from 2014, making it one of the oldest models in the lineup. And the real sculpting crazy business didn’t really come around until after that.
I’m not entirely certain of all the shapes in here work together, but it’s certainly aggressive.
The original Bulgasari had a tapered lip and a streamlined look (even before the Speedtail came out). This here however ditches that for a GT style wing but I actually think it loses a bit of something as a result. like the front there’s a heap of ridges and lines and what one might call a “functional” aesthetic but maybe it’s just a bit too fussy. I’m also not certain about the exhaust placement.
But contrast that with the top and there’s barely anything going on up above!

The unfinished-ness continues, though I genuinely cannot tell if this is also because some of my mods broke thanks to the update.

Some final updates to the car, mostly due to Automation changing versions
Ugh, talking about version changes. I suspect this car is going to get hit hard.
Actually so far so good, and definitely very good. Open disclosure: I already pre-approved this car during the pre-submission window, and I see absolutely no reason to change my mind.
Look at the subtle touches of the headlights and the shape cutting. Looks even better here than it does on a Mclaren to be frank.
It’s not trying to reinvent the wheel here, but what it is doing is working very well to create a good flow.
I could think of a couple of other ways to approach this that would boost the “radical” rating but Xepy specifically said he was going for a cleaner, elegant approach.
I can’t remember what the roofline looked like specifically and therefore whether the blips on the front windshield were intentional. Either way you can see a simple approach is favoured to create stronger line.

definitely less of a traditional hypercar. Messed around with this car a bit for the RR

Oh, uh.
That paintjob is something. I’m ignoring the errant patches on the windshield as I assume something stuffed up.
That aside, there’s some skill in the crafting of the lower fascia (though I’m pretty sure that it’s not great aerodynamic wisdom). Right now though, for attempting to not look like a Porsche, there’s an unmistakable Cayman flavour about it.
Some strong parallels with Yuri’s entry are emerging here, and unfortunately this also means so are the issues.
Here, the window sill line is higher and so the proportion issue of the roofline is less severe, but it’s still there. If anything now it looks like there’s too much body and the whole thing is quite tall.
There’s some Xepy staples in this approach. I like the way the rear arches are sculpted here but I’m just not sure it actually fits the body.
You can see why I drew parallels to Yuri’s entry what with that rear window. What I would have liked was if the entire roofline could be somehow lowered, but that would have required turning this into a convertible and just been a lot of work… if at all possible.

This is quite painful, because it has a brave ideas, and is also one of the lightest cars with a stupid high power to weight ratio which makes it one of the most attractive cars to tune and drive. However I will also add, and this doesn’t affect the judgement, but I will add that I had problems making super light rear-engined cars work i.e. not completely blow the wheels on spawn and it took a lot of node fuckery to make it work. But no amount of tricks I can use seems to help make the car work at just 850kg.
But back to the looks, this car suffers from the same problems as Yuri’s: the proportions are just really hard to reconcile and the overall size makes it look mostly like a toy car. A fairly garish one at that.
So with much regret I’m going to say this one doesn’t pass to the next stage but not for lack of skill or bravery.

On the plus side this didn’t affect overall judgement, so I guess I only got half the proverbial bukkake.

Yeah you’d be absolutely forgiven for thinking this died. Due to COVID flaring up again the week after I got to me next job things got a bit topsy-turvy and I literally forgot to make an announcement about what was happening until someone DMed me on a tangent LMAO
So due to the UE4 update from a little while back breaking all the mods, plus some rebalancing changes, most of the cars got messed up and I was unable to restore most of them to anything resembling their original tune. That will obviously mess up the judging.
The only real solution I have here is to invite the people who got through to resubmit, but it’ll only be worth doing when the new method of fixture stamping comes out as that will give so much more versatility, which means that a lot of players will probably significantly change their designs, which raises the question as to whether there’s any point to keeping the current results.
I’m therefore tempted to say I’m going to have to abandon this current run and start it anew and slightly refined, uhhhhh, probably next year as there’s no point me continuing as is when the game’s going to change in some major ways in the coming months anyway. Especially since the name of this series is “Fight Me” which means I have to actually build my cars again as well. There’s also the fact I have pretty much stopped playing all videogames because I got sucked into a really good game of D&D but don’t worry about that
Apologies for the inconvenience, thanks for your patience, comments welcome etc.

No worries, It was certainly a massive challenge to take on. You’re right about rerunning it, since soon we’ll have 3d fixture placement and engine revamps (which might make things a little more spicey). I thouroughly enjoyed it anyway, even if it was cut short.
