Porsche 911 996.2 GT3 (2004) WIP
I don't normally explain the massive amount of work that goes into my mods. I just let you all enjoy the fruits of my labour. I'm constantly learning and feeling humbled, every day is a school day in Assetto Corsa modding. Well, on this rare occasion I kept a log. This is what more than 1 month of work on this upcoming update looks like so far, and it's still ongoing:
Added Optimised Online version, providing over 23% performance increase (but closer to 50% overall)
Improved shaders on every 3d material

Sure. Thank you 👍
Dont stop Dan. You are my inspiration. One day i will learn to make my childhood hero cars mod for assetto corsa.
And when you do, get in touch. I'll be happy to provide feedback, advice and help when I can.
You know, you are theman Dan. 👍
Thank you for your kind words bud. I'm so happy to have improved my 3d modelling, UV and AO mapping, light refractions, tyre machining, and most of all, animating skills. It will open the door for new levels of detail and features as I update all my existing mods and start working on new ones in the future. I always felt like this about these mods. I truly love these marvels of automotive engineering, and I want to keep coming back to improve them, as my skillset improves. That way I feel like my work is the best I can do, and you all get the best version to drive and race with. The goal was always to paint a masterpiece with these mods. They will not be the best forever, and some are from 3d first created more than a decade ago. But that's what makes them so special, like resto-mods with painstaking detail to try to make them contemporary. That's my journey, that's my passion...
