Wow, I see some really good progress here. Especially Chilli: nice work dude! Maybe you'd make some bits a little rounder and try to exercise some interior work: the steeringwheel is still very simple. These are just a few little things, the rest is quite impressive.

 

Nice work to the other dudes too, but to me Chilli's work is more impressive because I think making vehicles with Sketchup is quite difficult. I aint saying that modelling vehicles with other programmes like 3dsMax or Zmodeler is easy, but it is easier than with Sketchup. I'm really looking forward to the result of that Porsche 914, nice high quality textures for the taillights. I hope it's going ingame...

 

Just some weird vehicle passed my mind and I thought to model it in Sketchup and put it ingame after it is finished...

 

 

It's going to replace a helicopter: the big propeller is the rear up-down-propeller, the who vertical ones are the ones which should keep the vehicle of spinning around (which won't happen in San Andreas if I won't add them, but it just looks realistic ). Far from finished, though.

[CHILLI]

where do you think it should be rounder? I think I know a few places, but just wondering because I want this work to be really good just like the original Crawler did. also making different versions of this will be fun. like, a family car, taxi and maybe a delivery car O.o

[Ronnyboy]

finished the rear and made the front longer. because the short front just looked like a normal compact city jeep.

also added spoiler, may need to be remodeled.

Wow! That is beautiful CHILLI. Is it possible to use games spoilers, and make it possibly modifiable?

I could exctract one and put it on like one of the sultan or something.

Deadwillrise: Glad to see some people still hanging around from those days. There aren't many of us left, heh. Anf the thunderbird...you dont wanna see that, it's horrible

 

BUT, by an amazing, really amazing , coincidence, I was just posting pics of some of my really old stuff on another forum, and one of the pics happened to be of the thunderbird, here it is:

It was my 6th car, made back in 1999, so... yeah.

You wouldn't have happened to model a Beretta, would you?

 

The engine looks fan-f*cking-tastic!

And again, you early models give me hope

You've come a long way man

[Burner]

Nope. I remember getting one from a free model site once, but never did anything with it like those other ones.

 

Flash: bah. It's an old model anyways. I'll update it someday prolly. I usually go back and give my old models a touchup after a while has passed, except like those first 20 or so models like the thunderbird. A good example that I was gonna be posting already anyway:

 

Here is an old one from 2006, that I recently gave a minor makeover.

 

 

When I had finished the model in 2006, I half assed the body tex, only having a single color with a stripe as the body tex. It finally bugged me enough to break down and give it some proper body tex. The stripe is a little less crisp, but overall the tex gives the cars shape/curves more definition, and helps it not look so 'flat'.

 

 

Free to good home to anyone who wants to put an engine/interior in it. lol, any takers? I was trying something diferent with the panel lines, instead of textures, they are modeled lines textured black. I've seen it done on many cars by many other people, I thought I'd give it a shot. You can take a guess on what I thought about it, considering that this is the only car I ever did it on New wheels from my Dodge Sidewinder concept. I think they fit the car a little better than the originals.

 

It is my Muscle Tone concept, originally designed by Hot Wheels. I've only posted this car once before in 2006, though I don't think many people noticed it. Car # 121, 5101 polys for the model(not counting new mirrors) and 1709 per wheel(original chevy logo wheels).

 

 

[Marfi]

Burner - Its pretty damn cool, I like that style.

 

Something from me

 

 

[coasterdude184]

[boothy]

Wow! I really like HotWheels cars, and this is really cool. I waiting for the release

[JostVice]

 

 

 

To do:

 

Damage

Fix some problem with polies flipping on when lights on

 

I dont know what to do with some things Maybe burner can tell. should i put SA lights or keep these ones? and license plates? Should i UVW map the second channel?

[AzO]

That's great. Another Burner's beauty coming for SA . Awesome ^^

 

I'd say you should definitely do SA style lights and license plates to make the model fully "prepared" for SA.

 

Keep it up, can't wait to see more!

[Kowaah]

Am voting about keep it all as them are.

Can somebody help me with UV mapping? I use 3D studio max and I don't know how can I made a simple reflection texture like this:

[leik oh em jeez!]

Tutorial for SA reflections

That should help you with your reflections, it's for zmodeler, but 3ds max should work pretty much the same, the SA reflection needs to be set as the second UV channel.

 

Now, I finally got more progress done on my jeep commander, it's been months since I've touched it, maybe I'll actually finish it...

*tyre pic*

 

Wow, that is looking awesome. loving the detail on the tyre, but whats the polycount? Damn, i want to learn to model rims

 

 

btw, obviusly, hegedus roberto needs help mapping his reflection on his car, on 3d studio max. the tutorial posted is for Zmod.

 

Hegedus, look at this PDF. Just at the first point, as it looks like explaining what you need:

 

click me

[Hegedus.Roberto]

No, sorry. I speak english very bad. I can't understand this tuturials. And I don't think that I need this :S I don't know how can I made a simple SA reflection on the car, like this:

or like buchsi's Curve

[JostVice]

To make SA-like reflections (or any other type of reflections) you have to UVW map the second channel of your car with the reflection texture.

[Hegedus.Roberto]

And how can I made a second channel?

[leik oh em jeez!]

Youu know, with all of the trouble you are going through, it might just be easier to download Zmodeler, do the reflections in there, and re-export back to 3DS Max to finish it up...

But I would first try using google to find out how to do multiple UV channels in 3DS Max.

Roberto, if you need help with translating the tutorials, i'm always here.. Just create a freakin windows live messenger account already -.-
