looking awesome. i think this needs a bit of rim lighting to look like mario galaxy. why don't you join the mario kart source team?

I'd rather do my own thing.

rim lighting.. the new colored lighting

very cool stuff zap!

[zaphod]

holy crap, never played with rim lighting before. Very cool stuff!!!! I found a simple fresnel shader for maya and plugged it into the incandescence:

thats without any lighting, would make a kart game look pretty ace methinks.

gah, must. start. on. rider.

your choice. but the chances of releasing a playable game working alone are quite null. btw, this new render looks nice. maybe you should try upping the values a bit, so it's not lit just at the almost 90º angles.

[zaphod]

thanks for the concern fonfa, I have plenty of experience as to what goes into creating a game, and I wouldn't be doing it alone.

I'm doing this for fun, not to release a finished product.

[Rick_D]

you want someone to do some level design? I'd love to have a go at some cartoony stuff ;D

[OL]

i like it, old buddy

[von*ferret]

zaphod's never made a game! LOL

jk, I like the style of where you're going.

[zaphod]

ok, finally got a little suited up driver in there.

I'm imagining the player being able to choose between different colors for the kart, suit, and helmet. Next up: rigging the guy and doing left turn, right turn, and wipeout/celebration anims.

[Spellbinder]

Great stuff! I want to drive one!

[twiz]

lookin good zap

[bartollo]

what do U think zaphod?

b.

[zaphod]

wow, you put a lot of work into that

I think it's a great idea, I was thinking of having a transparent mesh floating just above the hood or other places like you are showing and be able to swap out decals on that. would be an easy way to customize the cart and still be able to select different color combos.
