Today I've finished up some shader changes and have completed a major overhaul of the shadowing and lighting system in our engine. On top of all that I have received the second car from our 3D artist Rico. This one is based on the Dodge Charger and came out very nice.

Rico has already produced another car based on a Dodge Ram which I'll be posting up over the weekend.

Ognen, one of our new 3D artists is well on the way with his first vehicle model which you can see here.

This will be one of the fastest and most expensive vehicles in the game and is loosely modelled on the Ferrari F430. The model you can see here has yet to be properly textured but I thought the normal mapping alone makes this car look gorgeous. We're looking forward to showing off the completed model.

Today we receiveed another car for Shadow Racers. Tianyu has now completed his work on the helicopter models for Critical Strike and wanted to have a go at a car based on the BMW M5 for Shadow Racers.

The car needs a little work on the wheels but other than that it's looking nice. This will most likely be the last model from Tianyu as he's spending more time working on his college work.

Good Luck Tianyu.

Nick has once again completed another car for Shadow Racers.

This one is based on the classic Ford Mustang and represents the American Muscle cars in the game. Most of the other cars from the game are more modern and sporty, this is one of only a few 'older' style cars in the game.

Here is the first completed vehicle for our newly announced game, Crash and Burn.

Oscar has been busy since joining the team and we're very impressed with this first model and look forward to seeing what else he comes up with in the future.

Here is a render of the first car from our modeller Nick.

The car (if you can't guess) is based on the Mazda MX5 and Nick has done a great job with the car. Our next step will be to get this loaded into our engine and have a fiddle about with the renderer.

Alex has been working on the car models for Shadow Racers and he's just textured the first car, inspired by the classic design of the Volskwagen Beetle:
