From specifications to simulator

I modelled the vehicle, developed its materials and livery, and handled Assetto Corsa integration and physics setup. I worked with the team’s engineers to verify the real-car specifications used in the simulator project.

Compiled vehicle

October 2024 compiled vehicle build. These measurements include the cockpit and visual wheel assemblies. The external driver and separate collision mesh are excluded from the visual total.

Visual geometry
317,323 triangles
Mesh sections
86
Materials / embedded textures
17 / 11
Main texture sizes
4,096 × 4,096 body · 2,048 × 2,048 tyres
Collision mesh
80 triangles, separate from the visual model
Exterior LODs
1 configured in the inspected build

Triangle counts come from the compiled KN5 index arrays. Texture dimensions come from the embedded images. The Blender working file contains alternative scenes and was saved later; it is not added to this total.
