3D Race Game Test 1 - Godot 4.1

Prototype of a 3D Racing game coded in Godot 4.1. It features some cool effects such as skidmarks, drift smoke and car tilt.
The AI cars follows different paths throughout the race track. A very basic HUD is shown but is a work in progress, with some functionalities not ready yet.

Wonderful job, I'm interested to see how you did your vehicle controller. I'm thinking sphere, but the jump is throwing me off a bit?

[@RNB-Games-Studio]

I used the sphere. For the jump ramp I used a raycast normal to the ground to check if the car is in the air. If the car is not on floor, then rotate the body in the z axis.

@@RNB-Games-Studio very cool, I've been trying to convert my 3.5 sphere controller to 4 but I haven't had a ton of luck. Do you have any suggestions on how to implement the sphere controller a bit better in 4.0?

My first attemp was on 3.5 and it was working fine. Then I migrate my code to 4.1. It was pretty much the same. I had to change the lerp functions because the syntaxis is a little bit different in 4.1 and nothing else tbh. The size of the sphere and the lenght of the raycast pointing to the ground are the keys to get a good arcade feeling
