[ SCR | WIP ] Datsun 280zx

[Yazu 0]

Hiya hiya long time no wip topic hehe, been busy and haven't had that much time / energy to model except on weekends ( mainly saturdays ) so this equal somewhat 6 or 5 saturdays work. Most of the modelling is done, remaining is some interior detail , the engine / engine bay stuff and to finish up the undercarriage detail.

Well here's the deal, I know some of you are thinking "is he going to do a rusty version of it?", here's the answer. I'm going to do a slightly flatout stylish abnger racing versin, perhaps slightly tuned and a normal version of the car, tho do not raise yer hopes that they'll be finished when the first version is ready ( flatout stylish ), but I shall work on all the versions after I've finished the uvunwrapping and when I've done the first detail texturing on the model. From there on it's easier for me to work on the other versions

Well enough of the text heres some screens of the car.

 

:edit:

Forgot the polycount

:: Polies W/ wheels 4756, that is 9234 Tris. It'll rise a bit when I have all the parts modelled

 

:: Rear ::

:: Parts ::

As you can see all the parts are double sided, expect the rims and windows

Cheerio, Yazu

Very nice work Yazu, the mesh is clean and smooth. Nice low polycount and the model is accurate. Nice exploded view also, gives a good perspective of the vehicle, keep up the good work.

nice work btw

[Jumper 0]

Glad to see you back with WIP Yazu. Model is fantastic, love the wireframe

[Herc 12]

Looks really tidy, nice mesh and all. one thing that catches my eye is the rear fender flare, it seems a little pointy compared to the smooth rear quater pannel, overall its still a mean model and good choice of car

[Cran. 1]

Nice Yazu, haven't seen any work from you latley

[Pavlov 103]

Gee. Good loking model. Low poly at is. And quality.

[JJHW 2]

Sweet Yazu, can't find anything wrong with it, apart from it's a 280! 240 forever!

[Yazu 0]

Cheers,

 

@JJHW: Hehe, well don't the 2XX models look all the same

@Pavlov: cheers

@Cran. : Well no one has seen any work from me lately , haven't realy had the time / energy to model much

@Vtech: Well I dunno, I just try to keep the polycount low so some sacrifices have to be made

@Jumper: Cheers

@Sin5k4: hehe I think I'll finish this one up before SA is released to PC, unless the release date has been changed

@GT-1 : Cheers

 

Well I'm off to finish the unwrapping, it's a bit boring part of all the stages, but it has to be done if I want the texturing to be nice and tidy

[D-Structo 0]

Damn, that looks pretty nice. Keep it up, man.

almost bought one of these for my first car... i stand by my decision to buy a bmw e30 instead

 

nice model tho

[Bumper3D 137]

Really smooth and detailed I must say... Even tho you're going to release it for VC first, you _must_ convert it to SA later when it's out.

 

3d-mallinnusta parhaimmillaan.

Jeej great car i more like the nissan 300NX but i think this one will come out great and it will fit nice into Vice city and or myriad islands.

[Neo-K 182 0]

yay! yazu lives!

 

awesome car man. been wanting another good datsun in VC.

[Cran. 1]

Can't wait to see you sexy texturing! Man, you have to have the best textures on any known car i've seen! Well they are hand made You can do some sexy things in 3ds max though!

[uzer 828]

 

Yazu, where have you been? We missed you.

[Zeros 0]

i love these care, and this one is great. my friend had one too, heh, still want one.

[Yazu 0]

@Error: Aaw , have you missed me ... but there's nothing to miss on me . Oh I've been working hard but not on me own projects. I'll try to stick around more than just one release and then leave for god knows for how long ( just like I did on me Fastback release )

 

Well as usual when everything goes nicely, perhaps too nicely, me windows starts to act up. So I have some XP issues waiting for me back home so I won't be finishing the unvrapping just yet. I did manage to do most of it but still parts of it, like the enginebay area etc is still kinda scattered around the uvmap , I just hope I get me XP back on tracks and I can get back on working on the datsun ( fingers crossed )

[Viperman 1]

Looks really good Yazu. Only thing I have to say, is there seems to be a funny looking wire towards the window, on the rise on the bonnet.

 

Looks top class though.....now get some nice renders!

[Mark 503]

wow Yazu that is the shex I prefer 240Z too but meh, looks f*cking awesome. Destined for my game thats for sure and it'll be even better in SanAn f*cking post wrappers!

<!-- looky looky

 

sup?

looking sexy -->

[GTA3Freak-2001 22]

Someone's probably going to hit me for saying this but I like the 280ZX more then the 240ZX

 

Nice work though Yazu, I like your change to a jap car as I think your style would suit it well and I can see already that it does.

@Viper: Neh that's not a big deal on the fron wire, doesn't realy affect the mesh in anyway

@GTAuron: Hehe, thx. I hope you'll like it when I've done the "Flatout" stylish texturing to it hehe.... It'll be.... rusty hehe

@Xyzar: Ummm... I'm sorry do I know you... hehe . Nothing much, just working hard, oh and thx

@Freak: Well I still think they both look the same. And for the 240 lovers this'll just have to do hehe. Well actually this model isn THE 280 it's a bit of 240 and 280

@123abc: *Slap*, no slapping of gta3freak hehe , thx

 

Well I couldn't fix the XP issue just yet I started to install XP again but ran into some XP install issues, yawn. Well I hope I'll get it fixed tonigh, tho after I've sucesfully installed XP again I'll make some backups and format me C: drive . Hopefully I get it all done before friday so I can get me hands on the bloody model again , yay fingers crossed.

 

Thx, all for the warm welcome

[LOSEROCK 0]

I've seen one of these made before... But it was with the crappy VC textures... Anyway keep going, it looks excellent!

[Yazu 0]

Do not diss Superflys datsun , that was good in vice style.

[Pavlov 103]

Do not diss Superflys datsun , that was good in vice style.

Indeed, it was one of the first VC-styled good looking cars.

 

 

And yaz, you should stop wake so early.
