Pedals, Dashboard and Driving Animations

Spent some time working on the interior of the car. I've redone and added the following:

Dashboard

You may have noticed the dashboard looked pretty low resolution and rough in older videos, so I've rebuilt the entire thing with a higher polycount and higher resolution textures. This should hopefully bring clarity to the displayed elements.

The T-360 didn't have a tachometer, instead choosing to display the suggested gear selection on the speedometer. This was to reduce production cost, but players in Honcho will be able to fit various types of after market tachometers if they so wish.

I've also added emission maps to the light elements on the display, so they light up nicely when doing things like engaging the parking brake, or using the indicators.

I've also added a gear stick and indicator stick to help visualise what gear the player is in when driving manual. Again, the T-360 didn't have a digital or analogue display showing the player what gear they've selected, instead relying on a visual graphic on the side of the steering wheel. After market options will be available to players.

 Pedals

I finally got around to adding pedals. Pedals function as you'd expect with the accelerate, brake and clutch all usable.

Keiko now has leg animations for driving, braking and changing gear. Keiko uses left-foot braking while driving.

Additional Animations 

Unlike Jalopy, Honcho has a player character model. This means I can now add animations for the player when interacting with various elements in the car. Keiko now has animations for pressing buttons, indicating, changing gear, using the pedals and using the ignition. Keiko is quite short so she needs to lean forward to reach the ignition.

I'll continue to finish up adding animations to the vehicle, I still need to add some specific animations for using the handbrake, rolling windows down and the sun visor.

Thanks again for all the support, development is trundling along well.
