3D Helmet with refraction effects.

I imagine that it would require quite a lot of work but the immersion it provides is worth every minute of that work.



Would you agree and like to have it ?

 

not really because you dont really notice this when your on track anyway

 

Very interesting. Is that what it looks like? I have never worn a car racing helmet before.

How can you say that ? There's so much reflections and distortions on the visor that it's impossible not to notice it.

Pretty much, yes. I used a kinda wide FOV because with a low one like 40 to simulate 1:1 POV on an 20-25 display you would only see a bit of that V thing you use to close the visor but in RL that is pretty much what it looks like.

 

I prefer glance to left / right come first then this one. Or both come together ??

 

Then may be this is not for me cause i always use close FOV. Anyway still waiting Kunos or modder to make that glance left / right thing happen

 

you can see here that there is nothing in your view line apart from on the very sides of the visor.. which you do not notice when you are driving around..

obviously helmet designs differ and i'm yet to wear one where I could see as much visor as you show on your OP.

 

Your eyes does not focus on the visor because of the distance between eye-visor.. while in game there is no distance difference between your eyes and the game stuff itself. You can't focus the visor "away", it would only become a nuisance.

This is the problem with the current AC car windscreen too.. It's so ****ty when light shines on it, and while irl you could less the effect by just focusing on the outside, in AC you can't...

 

Looks nice. With a triple screen setup, the problem with a close FOV wouldn't be such a problem. But for a single screen setup it would look a bit weird. Could you do a screen with a close FOV like 35?

do people race with the plastic visor down in GT cars? or am I just not getting it.

 

I'm not sure, but I would say yes. Since some of the cars have intakes in the windows.

Oh, in the OP I barely noticed the bottom of the visor, near the nose. That I can attest to It may be minor, but I like the attention to detail.

Not quite true because the helmet or the windscreen do not disappear when you're not focused on them, they just become blurred like on that picture. And as for the windscreen, it's not that close actually so you can't really unfocus it.

The thought is that I manipulated the distances a bit. If the camera would be exactly where it supposed to be (very close to the visor) then the whole helmet would be invisible even with FOV around 75 so triple or single screen is not the goal really but IMO this is a must for the Rift where FOV reaches 90. Not to mention open cars where the visor would be shut with all the glare, reflection and other stuff visible.

Something like this -

 

Looks awesome^^
Want it so bad.

Yeah thats looks nice i like that too. So friend if you can do it then just do it, people have the right to sound their opinion but they also can ignore the mod later if they believe thats pointless so no need to waste time to explain or convince them. Usually explain more will result in more arguement, thats the mistake i make before, i hope you dont do that, just focus on create the mod cause many others actually like it
But still i hope you can do this like what you do for F1 2013 where "glance left & right" is possible

 

Next time when you drive on rainy day, don't use wipers and see for yourself

As for the visor, you can't see the visor as shown in picture... Should be more transparent and even more blurry.. It's hard to make it look right. Also would be nice to know what kind of helmet this represents?

 

dont need a visor & more dirt effects. hated them in others games btw.
you could rather create some new stylish cockpits, new interior concept designs. that would be great.

 

not usually

 

Guys I'm not making anything, I've got no programming skills all I know is some basic rendering stuff and that is it.
I've got ideas though, many of them actually and here's another one.

Maybe we don't need visible parts of helmet but we surely need the visor to get it wet during rain (it there ever will be one) in open cars, like so maybe.

 

Wow... no. The helmet visors are not made to get the water stuck in them, but the opposite.. the visor material is water resistanced (can't find the proper english word). And also the wind blows the water away. You think this is what F1 drivers see when they race on rain?
