An Update!

Hello, Okay so we were denied the use of any of the current F1 teams liveries so we have to fall back to our original idea of creating our own design which does limit our projects authenticity but makes everything far more flexible. 

A gallery has been added to the blog via Picasa which is accessible by clicking the slideshow on the right of the blog. This shows the development of the car from its earliest stages back in April to its current state. The modelling for the car is now done and it is fully animatable (spinning wheels, steering wheel and tyre direction changes etc), it also has one or two bits currently in the works such as red hot brake discs, heat ripples in the air from the exhaust and the shaking and rattling of parts of the car at high speeds. Hopefully all of these pieces will be completed in a few weeks time.

We have also drawn up a timescale guide for the project which sees the completion of the track in 9 weeks time along with a fully textured car including its driver so that we can start the animating process before christmas with a small low quality animatic available in the new year. 

We are currently still waiting on a reply from Donington Park and have had to delay the modelling of the track untill we have a definate response, although we are still looking into copyright law to try and find out if we actually need permission to recreate the track, but thats another story.
