[NASCAR3D]

RPM-3D, Inc. with help from friends and Sim Factory, LLC released the FIRST EVER "Car Of Tomorrow" Beta Mod for the RFactor simulation platform today August 22nd 2006.
While this mod is currently in BETA form, its making history by becoming not only the first "Car of Tomorrow" based Mod, but also having the first "COT" 3D Body Model outside of NASCAR's R & D Center.

"Its been a long time coming", said Justin Jacobs, Owner of RPM-3D, Inc. "I am glad to see that its finally getting to where it is supposed to be, in the hands of the community."

To the knowledge of RPM-3D, Inc. this is one of the first Mods, or games actually Pre-Dating Stock Car Racing before the actual cars are "Racing" on the tracks.

"We know its not going to be perfect, its a BETA, and the first Mod of any type RPM-3D, Inc. has attempted".

"We are excited about this launch, and hope the community enjoys it, even though it may not be the best mod, with the communities help it will get better".

While this is only the first MOD for any game from RPM-3D, Inc. its not the last.. be on the lookout for more updates to the COT MOD as well as other MODS from the same company that does graphics and paint scheme designs for the Real Stock Car Racing World.

For everyone who hasnt tried this mod yet I strongly recommend you do. I was playin around with it last night and the models look amazing... I havent really gotten to compare the on track stuff yet but Im sure its just as good as the cars look. :roxs:

These cars are extremely tight on exit, but I'm sure that can be fixed with a decent setup.

Very nice job on the templates + the mod. My only question is about the templates. I'm painting my own car. However, when I select a very bright color on the "Skin Of The Future" layer, the color ends up being dull :o. How do I get it to show up the way I want it?

http://dpr.zone15.com/uh.jpgThat's caused by the shading layer. That darkening should be part of the alpha channel (the reflection mask) instead of the shading layer, but there's nothing that can be done with it now.

RPM-3D, Inc. and Sim Factory LLC. is proud to announce the Car of Tomorrow BETA 2 MOD.

Some of the new features are:
New updated physics to better replicate the Real COT car.
High and Low Resolution Skins Packs
Setups
Model updates and Texture updates
Paint-able Rims, Roll Bars (Interior and Exterior), Gauge Rims
and a few other suprises...

The installer should overwrite the previous install so no uninstall is needed.

NOTES:
Due to the new physics, it might take a little while to get used to them, please understand the COT is a new animal, and will handle quite differently than any other mod or vehicle out currently.
Due to the High Resolution Skins Option, make sure you have a system capable of handling the video and processor stresses.
If you don't have a system that can handle the stresses of the High Resolution Skins, please use the Low Resolution Skins option, while it still places a load on the video and processor, it should be quite a bit less than if using the High Resolution Skins.

Side Note: Until more data is released on the Real COT as well as the final bodies and noses are released, there may only be minor updates to the Car of Tomorrow Prototype Mod.
This is in an effort to keep updates and mismatches and confusion on the versions to a minimum...

Be on the lookout for more mods in the future from RPM-3D, Inc. and Sim Factory, LLC.

We want to thank the community for the support it has shown, and we hope you enjoy this BETA 2 version...
