RSR Lamborghini Gallardo Valentino Balboni for AC

the Easter egg

Visto che non sarà certo a breve, diteci presto almeno che macchina è...

Since we'll have to wait, tell us at least which car will be...

Però così non vale eh!!! E adesso chi resiste??

Exacly a year ago, Radiator Springs Racing Team released his first car for netKar PRO. With Assetto Corsa on the way, we decided to give our Gallardo LP550-2 Valentino Balboni a new life with a complete makeover.

We are starting to work again on our car, giving to it a big boost to make it shine in Assetto Corsa.

Few days back we contacted Matteo Stirati asking him if he wanted to cooperate with us for our AC projects. He gladly accepted our offer and he is already working on a new 3D for our Gallardo. Matteo is a professional 3D artist, and, as you can see from his website, he can really do impressive stuff.

Surprises aren't finished yet. Also on the sound department, we have nice surprises, with a completely new sound pack created by a professional sound designer. More info on this later on.

Our aim is to push the boundaries on the physics as well, exploring the new AC Physics Engine, and put at good use all the data gathered in the past. We will study even more to get our Gallardo as close as possible to the real one. Just as in the previous case, we are striving to get all parameters from real data, so we will keep looking for new detailed information about this car.
We are already trying to open again all our contacts to people that drove this car in real life, to get their support and feedback for our project.

We will use this topic to inform you on our progresses, showing you how the project comes along in the different phases of the development.

What do we need:
We are constantly looking for information, detailed data, detailed photos, feedback from people that drove this car (or an other Gallardo), or that worked with it. To make a good 3D model and textures, but also to model correctly some key physics elements such as the suspensions, we will need some very specific photos. We are already trying to get what we need, but any help on this will be greatly appreciated. If you own a Gallardo, or you have access to it, please contact us.

We are all really excited to start working on this car again, and we really hope we will make it justice.
Thanks once more to the new guys that joined the project, and all the RSR team members for the constant help and support to make this possible in the first place.

Here our first batch of photos of the new 3D Model created from scratch by Matteo.

o che bello

buon lavoro allora

Wonderful

Matteo sent 3 new renders of his model. He is starting working on the suspension geometry, brakes and rear spoiler and perfecting the side mirrors.

we have 5 new renders for today in the Images Gallery




Here one of them showing the electronically controlled rear spoiler. Hopefully AC will provide features to be able to lift it up when the speed goes up (as shown here in the picture) just like in real life.

uauuuuuuuuuuuuu

4 new renders from Matteo. He worked on the windscreen wipers, aligned the front suspension correctly, addded indicators and sized the tires correctly.

grandissima notizia ragazzi già era bella per netkar penso che rper ac sarà fantastica...

ma sarà solo per la versione definitiva?

Matteo started working on the internal part of the car. The will be plenty of work to do over there, but for sure very exciting ad full of nice tiny details. I'm really curious to see what he will came up with.

Here the very first screenshot of the main structure in low poly.

ENG: will it be only for AC Final?

Hi Davide, we don't have any dev tools yet, and there will be plenty of work to do. We really hope AC will be final well before we can release our Gallardo

Today Matteo shows off his skills with 2 new shoots. He worked on the headlights today, and the result is ...well, I don't want to spoil the surprise.

You can also notice in the shoot below the great work on the screen wipers. Really great work, Matteo! Well done!

Matteo just started to work on the Engine modeling: 550 HP of pure beauty.

Back lights, Lamborghini logo on the back, front brake tilted in the right direction, rim/wheels size adjusted.
Matteo is doing a tremendous work to keep the model nice an neath. The external model is currently only 47k triangles with few more things to add.

Today it was all about measurements, re-sizing and tiny adjustments to make it 100% accurate with the real car.
Starting from real measurements and a reference real photo, Matteo brought his model to a perfect match (or at least as acccurate as he possible can) to the real counterpart.



Some small adjustments on the back end of the car, side mirrors slightly moved, wheels rim scaled correctly, and a completely remodeled set of brakes.

Giancarlo couldn't resist, so he made a small video as a tribute for the great work Matteo is doing.



Matteo, from his side, sent us one more stunning render of the latest version of the model

Troppo gentile e veramente bello!!

Surprises aren't finished for today. Matteo completed the modeling on the engine adding some more details, and the result is nothing less than sensational. Amazing work, Matteo. Simply fantastic.
