BMW V12LM98 Presentation Part 1/7

This BMW V12 LM98 3D model is the result of a team effort to bring the car back in the video game landscape after more than 20 years of absence. It was built under the tight restriction of the rFactor 2 engine and sit around 212 000 tris depending on what body configuration is used, making it quite optimized for real time usage and for all modern game engines.
Unlike what we usually see in modern day where just 1 version of a car is made, I made sure every version of the car and every livery that took part in an official session are present, even some with few to no picture available, making this the most complete model of this car ever.

Note that while the official name of the car is BMW V12 LM, I call it V12 LM98 simply because search engine struggles to make a distinction between it and the V12 LMR, which completely overshadow this car with its Le Mans win, therefore adding the 98 make the distinction easier for search engine and remove most of the LMR presence in the result. In some way, it feel similar to all the confusion around the Mercedes CLK-GTR and CLK-LM which look similar but are actually very different.

That's it for the 3D model history, for the real car story, stay tuned !😀
