I have started attempting to make a present-day ARCA mod that mixes both the current Five Star composite bodies and the older "Gen 4" bodies that were phased out when the new bodies were introduced in 2015. One could recreate cars going back to 2010 with this mod, which is when the big shark fins were mandated.
No guarantees that this gets finished as I barely have any idea what I'm doing, but this is something I've been wanting to see, and learning how to model for this game has been a goal of mine anyway, so I'm determined to take this as far as I can. Mystical's openness about his ICR mod and his current YouTube tutorial series have been a huge help in getting me to start this.
I think I'm doing okay with just the modeling phase right now. I'll be upfront that I cheated and brought in the 2015 Bullring Gen 6 Chevy and the NNC 2007 Ford as references to build around, but the models are otherwise my own.
The four planned models will be short track and superspeedway variants of both the Gen 4 and Gen 6 bodies, all made with generic shapes to accommodate every type of car that showed up during this period, as well as to give people room to make custom templates.
The three models I have right now are shown below; the composite car only has the superspeedway trim at the moment.
Feedback will be appreciated as I work on this.
