Beginners Guide To Creating A Good, Realistic Automation Car

first thing i noticed is the lack of body curvature customization this game has, i mean its great in everyo ther aspect, but you cant make flow lines at all, at that point id just make a model from scratch in blender, but thats no fun

how do you make car in automation
does it need blender

There is one thing you dont want to hear in a tutorial.
"I dont have a good grasp on this"

first i need to buy automation 😆

What is name of mod with black lines? Is it mod?

I hate beamNG drive content farms

"the really good people" who simply create real life replicas instead of their own creations
Edit: also they use mods which is literally like cheating the system to get the cars to look 10x better

A carbureted v6 hurts my soul

thank you!

i totally disagree with your advice to not copy existing cars. Copying masters is how students learn to become masters. Its a learning exercise. Copying takes the creative side out and forces you to figure out how the master used his technical skills to achieve his creative goal which the student applies to their own creative goals after mastering the master.

Hello, dear friend, I designed a car body, is there any way to import the designed body into this software and mount it on the chassis?

This is a really great and informative video! It's good that you went through things that should be done and focused on, but also what not to do - it's always useful to know what makes a build good, but arguably even more useful to know what not to do, so the design isn't hindered by obvious shortcuts. It can really help lift a build from good to great.

I'm also happy to have been put in the "really good people" section, haha. I really appreciate it! 😁

personally i feel the biggest issue to me personally is the bumper detail and design, i have active difficulties with that.

Also the automation bodies just don't allow for alot of creases which is a shame.

I love to play the game how I believe I would do everything as if I owned the company. Lore and all!

Just bought the game and I know nothing about engines, I just wanted to make ugly cars that go fast so thank you

I just cant get a nice looking 2010s car i think none of the newer bodies look good lol

i thought im the only one that likes the iconic Kuruma from GTA 3 lol.

Hate the color kid crap videos as well

Regarding the AI tune feature: I personally never used it and I have built and tuned all my engines by myself. I'm entirely self-sufficient builder.

THANK YOU FOR THIS! I am a total noob when it comes to car mechanics, Parts, etc, but I just casually love cars and am a huge motorsport fan. Because of you I bought the game, I always wanted to design cars in a proper design game, but was turned off because it seemed so complicated. Now I gwt to enjoy auromation, I slowly learn how tk be better at designing new cars and its SUPER FUN!
Also the in game tutorial is actually pretty good, that was a nice surprise

I'm gonna save you some time. This guy doesn't know how engines work and spends the majority of the video talking about aesthetics.

Awesome video! I have about 60 hours in Automation, have made a handful of cars and played one campaign (although a couple versions ago). I've tried making my cars look good and make sense, but they were always a little off. I've worked on cars irl for many years and played lots of other racing games, so making engines and tuning them came fairly naturally to me. The aesthetics stayed elusive though. After watching this video I did (and am doing) a lot more experimentation and exploration with the parts available and how they can be used in so many different ways. Thank you! This will definitely bump up all of my cars appearances.

I’ve always loved this sort of stuff, the engine stuff is super easy for me, being a mechanic I understand all of it, but the body side of the game is super confusing because I just don’t understand computers too well to know what settings I am able or supposed tonuse

SPIT YOUR SHIT IN THE INTRO GRAHHHHHHHHHH

HOW DO YOU INSTALL AUTOMATION MODS

can do Automation Car to blender ?

Dude, what is this video??
I intantly bought the game in 2 minutes watching

I feel like the game title is tongue-in-cheek and it works, but is this really a business tycoon game?
Where's my P&L , Balance Sheet, etc. Is it mainly a car designer "simulator" from what I gather. I own BeamNG and it's fun. This game looks totally worth the price, but I wonder if it would be more popular if they didn't position it as a tycoon game. It is more like a Kerbal Space Program or Garry's Mod but for driving simulators. Really awesome game by the look of it

I only just started playing and Im already addicted.

I was a jet engine mechanic for the military in Okinawa, and have a couple IRL project vehicles Im working on (one of which is a JDM I imported myself). So I'm actually finding myself already pretty decent at making realistic engines.

I'm obsessed with kei cars. I had a Pajero Mini Snoopy Edition I learned how to offroad in, in the Okinawan jungles. That was the funniest damn car, it was hilarious to watch my friends try to drive it only to be shocked by the complete lack of go-go under the hood.

So, I actually have the opposite problem in game. Instead of building V16 monsters, I keep building I3 and I4 engines with 659cc displacement to recreate my Pajero's engine... Which is like, literally nothing, that is so little displacement. Then I spend a while optimizing it up to 50 horses, which requires a ton of tuning, and lots of advanced features (for 1947) like dual overhead cam with 4 valves. That then doesnt gel well with a heavy steel 1947 body and chassis, even when I pick the smallest trims. Worse, it's not even appealing to any of the markets even if it were in a lighter car. So it's all this engineering time sunk into an engine that's basically engineered like a tiny race engine, only to end up with 50 horses and an underpowered car by the end of it, lol. Nobody likes it.

Which, actually, totally makes sense. The ONLY place on the planet that kei cars make any kind of sense is Japan, since the kei car tax bracket legally limits designers to 660cc engines. They just dont really export kei cars directly because other markets would generally hate them. When they do export them, they usually slap a bigger engine in (for example, the Pajero Mini, if I remember correctly, becomes the Pajero IO in the export version, and can have a 1.6-2L engine depending on market, if I remember correctly... For some perspective, that's even more than the 1.1L Pajero Jr, which again, I think is limited by road tax laws in Japan). Anyway, it would be interesting if this game added some sort of legal system like that (like, you pick your country, then after that, you pick a legal system thats similar to an IRL country). Because IRL, legal systems can severely impact car design. Kei cars are pointless everywhere except Japan, but are very popular in Japan because Kei owners there save a boatload of money on road taxes. A tax system like that would actually be a requirement for quirky JDM cars like Kei cars to be competetive in Automation's campaign.

Anyway, is there any way to import previously exported cars to a new campaign? I keep restarting campaigns trying to learn how that part of the game works, but then I basically have to start all over again with design work, because as far as I can tell, there doesnt seem to be a way to just load an existing car and engine from previous campaigns.

I am hopefully not one of the bright content farmers you mentioned xD

Been playing BeamNG for a while and just picked up Automation in the Steam sale, excellent skills, I can see this isnt going to be a quick pickup and churn out a whole raff on decent new cars, there really is an art and insane craft that goes into creating something decent!

Looks like a V8 dodge neon

Haven't watched the video yet, but hoping this will let me be creative in a better way, and make sutff that does not get me made fun of anymore!

As someone who's an apsiring Automation and BeamNG player, thank you for telling me what to and what NOT to do when I'm designing a car, I'll make sure to use these.

Head lights looks like Nissan sylphy headlights very nice

can i make vauxhalls amd mercedes amg

Underated channel

Yes

👇

Very nice production on this video for such low sub numbers you've gained a sub today

when you call it bs and it actually works lol

All you can get from this guide is :
Anything remotely creative is bad, you should make boring, copy pasted sedans instead.
