Any chanses to see it in Vice City? (I can convert it by myself if you want)

[Chong McBong]

hmm, not sure about vice, i think its too many polygons for vice, and i don't know if vice supports damaged front wings.

i do plan to convert it to IV at some point though

[L!mon]

1 Vice SUPPORT damaged front wings.

2 Vice SUPPORT up to 2 000 000 per mesh. So , 45 k not problem =) Even more , 45 is not so much, some models 60 k and up , and they fit perfect.

3 I am not new in converting , so if you want i can do this myself.

4 Capri in vice was my dream , so come on! Let me try at least!

[Chong McBong]

cool, i will have a look at converting it.

 

i have not made anything for vice, but it cant be that hard... its just the cols that will be difficult i think, but i am sure i can find a tutorial..

if it works, i might convert a few more of my mods to vice

 

i am surprised that vice supports such a ridiculous number of polygons per mesh.

the most i have used in one model is about 252k for my mini, but that was just silly really.. i think about 80k is a fair limit for a car.

 

the capri is now up to about 52k polygons including damage and cols.

just the finishing touches now, and the vital handling line, which is coming along nicely now.

 

it might replace the turismo, but i haven't decided yet....

 

gtagarage link is here if you want to see pics etc.

only the old nasty version is available for download, but version 2.0 will be ready in a few days

Its whoo Exterior done...Interior here I come

My latest beast - a complete 100% rebuild of my Zakspeed Capri RS Turbo (Mk3) (1978-1983)

 

version 1 was my first ever 3d model, but that was almost 4 years ago...

 

huge amounts of damageable stuff and detail - lots of stuff linked to front wings to add to the effect

light up dashboad

about 180 hours so far on the rebuld

 

only 45k polygons WOOHOO

 

more skins will follow soon (i have 9 planned altogether)

anyway here are some preview pics. (sorry they are so big)

 

 

removed

release expected in the next few days once i have finished setting up handling,wheel size and a few finishing touches

(i know this is not for requests, but if anybody can tell me how to do nice chrome that would be appreciated )

 

what tool are you using for the fps

[MindF*ck]

Well, so here is my new project for the converting contest over at g-wm.

The '63 'Big Muscle' Hemi Vette

 

The original concept was made by Burner, but without interior, engine and underbody. So I combined it with some other models from Burner, spent hours adjusting, rebuilding, mapping, rendering, etc to finally get a complete car out of it

 

Here it is, the materials are already set up for sa, the only thing left for a first ingame try are the dummies and the hierarchy setup.

 

 

some preview of the extras that'll come with it:

Another great vehicle is coming, cant wait to see the first ingame screens! Its looking great so far, Mindf*ck quality^^ Burner did a great job as well, hope hell find some mood and time to work on some new stuff again.

[L!mon]

WOW! Best hotrod that I ever seen!

Add flames and it will be best replacement for cuban hermes !

[Mr. Listik]

Yeee, looks very cool! And agree with L!mon, good replacemant for Cuban Hermes:))

[Burner]

f*cking Wow. Nice use of all those cars together. That is insanely awesome.

 

It is good to see that engine got a better home than the wood bodied hot rod it was intended for.

 

It is good to see you are still working on my cars I'm still working on trying to work on my latest cars, heh. I just havent had any motivation this year, maybe after the new year I can get that caddy and 71 pickup out.

[MindF*ck]

wow burner I wasn't expecting to read a post from you! Thanks for the nice words, I'm glad you like what I did to your design

It would be really cool to see a comeback from you, many people have been asking me about you (and especially your Caddy !) and I'd too love to see some new stuff from you Keep it up and keep commin' here.

 

Also thanks to everyone else who responded. I'm glad you like my work

Million points! Except for last two words, they need replacement called Hotknife. Best use of this gen Vette, seriously!

[CHILLI]

bah. I havent posted in a while and I guess that I should post some progress of my pickup truck. dont worry, the tyre thread will be a texture later on

[JasonThummel]

Very nice wheel Chilli.

Try using some more sharp features on your body though. Its looking great!

[CHILLI]

yea I know I need more sharp shapes on it... I am testing around with the grill currently. I first tried the lights, but it's too round for that so it didnt work and I dont wanna change the shape I have got right now.

so I figured I could try to make the bumper and grill more sharp and maybe something on the bonnet aswell.

 

well, it's midnight right now so I gotta sleep. see ya next time!

 

EDIT: started making the room for the engine. I'll try to make it look like it did on my Crawler. I also added brake calipers to it. later on I will add suspension, and I guess that is rather soon since I will prolly add it along with the engine.
