Fantastic. TSE parts too please!
|
Yep. My plan is to reach out to all of the miata aftermarket companies that make cool stuff and try to get them on board. That phase is probably 5-6 months out. Personally, I think it would be really cool to see the small companies that actually serve the motorsports community presented in a video game. From what I have seen of games like Forza, it's mostly huge companies and hard parker stuff.

Excellent work!
|
Really great idea and implementation! We use a similar concept in work, in conjunction with augmented reality (using Microsoft Hololens) to train assembly line workers with interactive instructions.
|
Cats for the awesome work. Seriously. Also looks like your video is going somewhat viral, saw it run across my FB page today, pretty sweet!
|
Got linked to your video in a non car chat. Took me about 5 seconds to realize what it was and then I had a good laugh! It looks great so far.
Is it bad the moment the upper control arm came into view I realized it was a Miata and then remembered this project? |
Just as an idea, was wondering if it would be feasible to scan a complete interior. That would allow easy testing of modifications and layouts of controls, gauges etc.

Taking apart my 95 engine and getting good notes while I do it.. All of this will go into a spreadsheet and I will post it later. I have been resisting the temptation to weigh everything and add that to the note cards....

You sir are crazy! Hats off!
Any chance to also do an interior scan? |
On my dream list, how much of the unibody section are you planning on doing?
|
I'm building a catfish for my first car so im not planning to scan the unibody. Maybe someday I will be able to get a license for a miata, if I do I will do a full interior/exterior scan.

Oh well, one can always hope that strangers will do the hard work for them. ;) Obviously, those are really good looking results! I've tried using photo-based reconstruction stuff before and never had really satisfactory output.
|
I've been following this for a while and love the progress. As both a VR and Miata junkie, this appeals to me greatly.
One thing that strikes me in particular: If you're building a game to build a Miata/Catfish, you're basically making a game to build an Exocet. Don't know if you've talked to Exomotive, but that would be pretty sweet. |
If you ever need help or want 3D solidworks files I work as a mechanical designer for a living and use solidworks everyday. Give me a shout!

Are you willing to share the 3D files for the parts in the game for us to convert to CAD files?
|
I already posted a bunch of suspension parts for free on gumroad. I'll get around to posting engine stuff when I have time.

I'd love the other hubs and control arms when you have time! thanks, this is amazing
|
This is freaking cool, Subscribed.
|
Great job on this! Do you by any chance have a CAD-model of a bare engine block that you would be willing to share?
