We don’t exactly have direct access to SMS assets and they’re not in any way obligated to supply them to us, but we do have a relationship that allows for reasonable requests they have supplied a handful of track models and we have also given them a few of our own in return. With the exception of Azure though we do model all our tracks and surrounding terrain from scratch, only using some of their trackside objects.
On the car front they have been even more supportive - we have over 50 cars to be added to AMS2 in the coming months and about a third of them are based on models supplied by SMS.. They’ll obviously feature in AMS2 with our sounds and physics but these 3d models give us an invaluable jumpstart, and it’s also a big factor in us being able to release them as free additional content and make that work financially. SMS has also introduced us to several of the licensors these assets relate to, providing a big boost to our own relationships with these brands.
We evidently have been working hard but we have a lot to be grateful for in our relationship with SMS - we’d not be in the position to fulfil these ambitious plans without their support.
Naturally they stand to benefit from whatever success we achieve with AMS2, but I’d hope every sim racer is able to nurture some appreciation for how exceptional it is for a studio of their success to hand their technology and a number of assets to another small studio like ours and let we run with it as we see fit."
