We are getting closer to publishing... Here are the LODs:

Highest....176.994
High...........63.464
Medium.....21.462
Low...............9.706
and Very Low...621

Ah, yes... not to forget... Sunroof...simple animation but compatible with all LODs:

The biggest challenge for me was to make a tuning with double round headlights.The car had such lights in its later phase, but also earlier in the American and some other non-European markets.
It wouldn't be difficult in itself, but I also had additional wishes.
I wanted them to be breakable; to behave like real headlights (High and Low beams), but also to have coronas if possible.

I was planning to change the headlights along with changing the grill.
According to the example of the exhaust tuning parts, I added to my grill tuning part dummy nodes for extralights. Miraculously it worked and the coronas appeared

The stock headlight corona couldn't be turned off with this, and is visible in the middle from some angles, but all in all the new lights with their new coronas look much, much better

To make the headlights breakable, I added them as two linked parts that attach to the left and right headlights.
The stock headlight glass had to be separated from the headlights because otherwise it would not be possible to turn it off. The logical solution was to have them be miscs with a collision for the glass.
However, a bug appeared in this way, because after tuning the lights, in case of damage, broken fragments of the stock headlight glass would appear:

So the headlight glass (only nominally) became "indicators", and the indicators miscs... and everything works as it should.

They are close enough to break when needed, and their shards don't appear when they shouldn't.
In "Vehicles.meta" I added the flag "FLAG_FAKE_EXTRALIGHTS" so that there would be no confusion between the lights and that both stock and tuning headlights would behave as they should.

Some Decals for Livery are separate tuning part, listed under Hood...

They include Rallye plates on the hood and (linked) numbers for specific rallyes on the doors and roof...

They can stand without a livery, or can be combined with different liveries...


In addition to the historical ones, there is also a Livery for San Andreas with decals for the Rallye de Paleto

The tuning parts I work on are "Rally(e)" related, and are based on mostly authentic accessories that this car has had in its rich Rally history.

The chrome hub cap looked out of place with the rally options, so I changed the wheel. The rim will be able to change colors, and (at least for now) I have also changed the texture of the tires

I also do LODs for each part, so that takes significantly more time. LODs for tuning parts are not always changed at the same time as LODs for the base car, so care should be taken to ensure that they match each other

In the next post I will show some Liveries.

Congratulations to Spain for winning the League of Nation,
Čestitke Španjolskoj na osvajanju Lige nacija
Enhorabuena a España por ganar la Liga de las Naciones

I chose "2.0 injection" for the Peugeot 504 engine. One of the reasons is that if I ever work on a coupe or cabriolet, I will have a finished engine
I also created the hood lining - I hope that for the lods texture will be enough.

The engine itself in the photos varies in detail, probably depending on the year of manufacture, but is essentially the same

The engine I made is animated, but a video will show that in some of the next posts. For now, here are a few more in-game shots:

The Peugeot 504 is a mid-size, front-engine, rear-wheel-drive automobile manufactured and marketed by Peugeot from 1968 to 1983.

I found the 3d model among the mods for "Assetto Corsa", it is signed by "x4fab", credit to him.
Although they have already converted the model for GTAV, I want to make a version in my own way.
I am working on the engine, but the idea is also an animated sunroof, and considering the rally history of the Peugeot 504, some livery and rally tuning parts...
