VDrift – Open Source Drift Racing Simulation

Posted on by

VDriftIf you can’t hardly wait for the Apricot project, to see Blender used in a game production pipeline. There is a game project called VDrift, which uses Blender for the same purpose.

As the name says, the project is about a racing simulation game based on the drift racing style. Blender is one of the main tools, used to build 3d models, along with other tools like SketchUp.

You can check out more about the project at the VDrift official web site. To find some models, used for the game, you can browse the user forums. Here is an example.

      Seeing your own blender art come to life in a game brings a whole new level of enjoyment to modelling. If you’re into cars and want to give it a shot post on the vdrift forums. They’re very helpful and supportive.

      Here’s my newest WIP:

      I never could get VDrift to run on my computer! – didn’t know it was made using blender though – maybe I’ll try a bit harder next time I feel the urge to RACE! :P

      I can’t take credit for the ford. I did the 360 at the example link:
