Heads Up Display Research

Need for speed: Hot Pursuit is a pretty good reference in this case.  As you can see in the video that I posted above.  HUD it has includes most of information that we need, such as :

Speedometer

Tachometer

Gear Indicator

Lap Time

Best Time

Vehicle Health

Like most of racing games does, I would like to place the tachometer & speedometer on the lower right corner of the screen with the vehicle health besides it.  Gear indicator will be located in the tachometer display.  Other info that need to be show on the screen will mostly be placed on the top right corner.

The car that I modeled is BMW E92 M3, so I decide to make a real tachometer and speedometer display like the real car has on its dashboard.

Here is the first pass:

The Asset of Barrel is made by Maya, and the textures are developed in Substance.

Barrel Design for Racing Level

Concept：

My level is in realistic, so the barrel that I design is also in realistic. The sketch that I posted above shows the basic shape of the barrel that I am going to create, but I will also put some special textures and decals on it, because I am trying to give it more characteristics.

Draft 1:

There is a barrel that I created for testing.
