Initial D Opening Scene Assetto CGI Comparison

My attempt at recreating the first stage Initial D cgi look in assetto corsa using ‪@retr0splace‬ 's first stage accurate 86 mod:
re1r0.gumroad.com/l/rp_takumi_firststage_anime
and ‪@shadobi‬ 's Running In The 90's track mod:

[@kittysmacks-so2nt]

it took me so long to figure which was which

[@whizxcoffee]

fr lol

[@windowstips1430]

took me like 4 seconds

[@Capivara_Studios]

You've never played Assetto before

[@Undrifter]

I still can't believe this is assetto corsa

[@Luuckkaz]

i spent half the video thinking the left one was the original

[@khidorahian]

only giveaway is the shading and lighting as well as some road textures, some lack of grass, but that's it. Otherwise, it's spot on

[@Official_Zake]

Jesus why is it so identical 💀

[@edmon974]

Because 80% of the shots are same

[@Sleeper____1472]

Left looks more atmospheric but right looks sharper.

[@jasper39488]

man this is genuinely really good, cant believe you were able to get such a close model of the 86 from stage 1, and akina from stage 1, seriously impressive man!

[@Kosoku63]

looks perfect onpoint to crappy 90s cgi

[@thebluetardis]

There's barely a difference between the original and your version.
It’s way much more than just a work of art. 💯

[@Missch_1]

THIS IS PERFECT
FINALLY A WORTHY REMAKE

[@brandonlarose1052]

the drift.. makes my head spin.. makes me think this is some kind of blender thing more than assetto corsa. the car moves so unnaturally.

[@tofujiwara9651]

hahaha well you'd be right! I didn't use blender or anything, but that whole drift is made up of 4 different takes... trust me I tried to get it in one drift but it was a little hard to slide that long before the corner and then grip around the bend all while staying at the same distance from the line.

[@ToyotaCorollaAE86Trueno]

Left one is asseto since it lights are brighter and don’t have blur to them
And it has bright green grass plus the minor details like the fog lights being just cubes and lack of gutters
Took me a second to figure out tho damn

[@Clide349]

I couldn't even tell which ones assestto

Now can we get 4th stage graphics in ac

[@screaminpetrol8556]

Soon enough we'l have fifth stage graphics 🤣

[@eunos_cosmo.]

IT'S ASSETO CORSA?

[@tofujiwara9651]

Indeed, crazy right. the only thing I added later was the camera shake and the lense flair things, But the bloom and the bad quality is playable in assetto

[@elfresudo]

WAOS

I LITERALLY DO NOT KNOW WHICH IS THE ORIGINAL WHAT

The AC one looks so much better than the original. We need final stage graphics doe
Edit: wait the right was the original?

[@tofujiwara9651]

Yes haha

[@Kris-up8ut]

did you experience any weird behavior on retros ae86 like its being pushed down by gravity which causes the car to break apart? downloaded this car mod but dunno what causes that issue to mine and only happens when i use his ae86 mod

[@tofujiwara9651]

No, I didn't, im not sure why that would be happening.... good luck figuring it out

[@akioasakura3624]

Normally I think that most of these recreations r shit but ngl u killed it 🔥🔥 how do u do the camera movements btw?

[@tofujiwara9651]

A mix of camtool 2 and drone cam. Most of it is drone cam, but I used camtool 2 for the more complex shots like the drift shots and the shot after he knocks over the can

[@akioasakura3624]

@@tofujiwara9651 thx

[@da_hydra]

i still dont know which one is ac

[@Ghostysti]

How tf you make asseto look like that

[@tofujiwara9651]

Some changes to the pure and game settings and those mods. The running in the 90s mod mostly shows you how

[@StVTakumi]

The car wont start for me... any idea? i have a 60% keyboard

[@Undrifter]

Retro added a function where you have to manually turn the car on like a real car, I think you hold F

[@tofujiwara9651]

Yeah, what he said

[@tofujiwara9651]

You have to add a button to the extra options buttons in the csp controls I think

[@luiscamilop.h6429]

Looks like 2nd stage animation

[@Stormysteamie]

Are there more first stage accurate mods out there or is this it?

[@tofujiwara9651]

Can't say I've looked, but as far as I know, this is the only car mod. The running in the 90s mod has a few tracks though

[@undercoft7756]

Honestlyhonestly took me to 0:44 to figure out which was which
How did you do this?

[@tofujiwara9651]

Those mods are essentially most of it, I just went further with changing the assetto corsa display/video settings. Got the camera angles with drone cam and cam tool 2, recorded those with obs and then threw those clips into davinci resolve to add the camera shake and the lense flare lines etc.

[@user-bp1rr1pv2z]

are these graphics mods?

[@tofujiwara9651]

All im using is Pure and some lowered assetto corsa graphics settings

[@assettocorsauser]

wait why does this ae86 have black rims, the original mod has gray rims

[@tofujiwara9651]

It's mostly to do with the lighting, but I did very slightly darken them.

[@assettocorsauser]

how?

[@assettocorsauser]

please say how you darken rims i really need it

[@tofujiwara9651]

​@assettocorsauser what I did doesn't make them black under normal lighting conditions... (I didn't have any light sources or shadows enabled (which im gonna fix hopefully soon))
All I did was go into the car model viewer on content manager and click on one of the rims. Then where it says "Material: watbx" I clicked on the 3 dots on the right of that, clicked "change values" and then changed "ksAmbient" to 0.03 or something...
But I really don't think I even needed to do that. Id say it was mostly the lighting, or lack there of haha.
