I play around with car clean code today, and found out that the difference between clean and dirty are only the car shine.

clean:


dirty:


half dirty:


I kinda like the dirty look, if the car painted black it will look like carbon body :cool:.
 
Yes the cars in any Gt game don't actually get dirty...they just lose their shine. When we pay 50 credits, all we are getting is the wax job, making the car lose its oxydation...there isn't any actual dirt being washed away.

See, and you're using your emulator toy! That's how you actually got the car wash to work. Did you know that in GT2, cars barely lose their shine? The car wash barely does anything. I think with the emulator you're able to get the full oxydized effect and that's why your cars actuallly wind up looking "dirty", whereas if you just put a disc into a Playstation, you'd only lose perhaps 10% of your shine.

I totally agree with you about the dirty look. I love that "beater" look some cars get in GT1, 3, and 4! An old Silvia looks totally dope when it's oxydized 👍

I play around checking how the car got dirty, and this is the result:
1 lap dirt track smokey mountain south = +43
10 lap in high speed ring = +0
38 lap in laguna seca = +50, I let the AI do the driving of course

half dirty = 2000
full dirty = 4000

So in order to get half dirty we need to do some 40 lap on smokey mountain north or 1500 lap in Laguna Seca, a bit tough a guess if we do it with the same car :lol:.
 
Hmmm that makes alot of sense. I know in GT3 or 4, it only takes about 3 or 400 miles before you completely lose shine. In GT3, my Evo VI rally car, Viper Oreca, and a handful of others have never had a car wash! :dopey:

That's interesting, they get dirty faster I guess, is that on dirt track?

I never see dirty car in GT3 or GT4, do you have any picture of it?
 
No pictures since I have no camera. But I have noticed cars in GT1, 3, and 4 lose that lustrous shine within a few hundred miles.
