A big thank you to Flame CZE for his help with the interior textures: he brought the dashboard to life (and adjusted the vents too), and textured the center panel (carbon part with the switches); I took this opportunity to get going with some more textures (reusing the dashboard texture for the seat, steering wheel, and foam blocks), and added labels/logos to various parts of the dashboard (AC controls, the blue knob thingy (radiator cooler), wheel and center panel button labels.
See attached screenshots for a before/after comparison.
I've been optimizing the geometry a bit (managed to save about 3k triangles with mostly minimal visual changes), which will help when I find the time to finish the interior, so I can finally remove the WIP status. The skin template was modified slightly to accommodate the changes, of note being a better layout for the rear wing, which now avoids overlaps and allows painting its front and back edges more easily; the plastic triangles between the front bumper blade and DRL covers can also be painted now, the lifting blocks can be painted separately, and the rest is just a few changes from the geometry optimization, which should not require changes unless you were closely following the geometry (if you made skins that only fill the alpha mask, make sure to check the rear corners, where the transition between rear view and side views has changed).
In the meantime though, I started working on default skins that are more interesting than plain colors with the same stickers every time. I have 7 of them, inspired by real Clio Cup liveries, mostly done (paint jobs and some of the common overlays are done, but most of them still need to get a proper logos and brands rework). I am planning to use all of the 9 default skins we can have for a mod, so I need one more (I'll keep the plain white one as well), and will most likely provide 2048x2048 skins in this thread or the mod page itself with color variations.
I will also officially introduce a "Cup" configuration, which will let you write a number on all 4 windows, using your license plate. In this configuration, the actual plate at the rear will read "Coil Cup Series" instead, and the numbers on the windows are made to fit 2 digits and nothing else.
