Ballistic NG - Wipeout fan project

Yeah there's been pitch control similar to the original games for a while now. I've improved the wall collisions since this video, but here's the latest video.

I've been browsing through the youtube channel every few days, and progress is amazing, guy :rock

Oh, yeah, Sketchup is my go to for more precise 3d mesh building. The only issue I had was trying to save it in a way that Blender could recognise for model export. Luckily found a pretty handy plug-in that can import an entire .skp Sketch-up scene.
But yeah, I may attempt to clean it up some more if I can figure it out, and then drop a d/l somewhere.
And hey, sure thing. If you think the design's up to scratch, even bonus unlockable team is good running, as small as the contribution might be ^^

Not sure how you're handling bonus team backstory, or if you're fore-going it for the sake of simplicity.
I noticed Wyvern's UK origins, so I'm wondering if I need to reconsider the backstory for this bonus team completely or just ask suggestions on how to adjust it... or it could strengthen an in-nation rivalry between the Wyvern core team and the lowly Caliburn, what with the symbology of dragon vs knight :P
Either way, I admit my stat concept could do with a rethink too to avoid dupes/near-dupes, there's a few low handling/high speed teams already in play.

Looks really good. Could you do a video of actually pitching back ( without moving) and pitching forward as well? I didn't really see any pitching in the video.

Here you go!
The walls are also no longer invisible 90 degree walls, meaning pitching up will now give you a bit more space on the track,

Once again, I'm really loving the fact that your PS1 era design is that of WipEout 3, my favourite of the PS1 games! :D

The color scheme isn't final btw.

That should be like a 2nd skin or something, it just fits!

Ended up with jungle green camo pattern. Might try snow camo since it's a russian team.

The green one screams Triakis, but I love the second version!

I agree with Meg.A.byte! The second one is excellent! :+
