Was tired of beating on a dead horse so I resurrected it from 2006.

Will be trying to get it into GTA4 eventually, once I figure out how. >_> From 06 to now it's pretty much an entire remodel. And I've not done any vehicle modeling in 4-5 years at least.

haha nice one! I also just resurected a model from 2007, also much work to bring it to GTAIV standards. It was initially made for GTA:SA but I decided to finally push this one through and give it the attention it deserved.

 

Just got the model ingame, lots to do still

very nice car , i like that you are using the IV style (im right ?) if soo maby add some emblemats of GTA fake manufacturer

[Herc]

Yeah the style is similar but I want it to be a representation of a real car.

 

I did some more work on it, now with badges, rearview mirror, and a few other bits and pieces

Wow, it's SO cool. Hope you release it, as I feel it could be my first ever car replacement for IV.

 

Looks like an older version of Capri MK3 a bit for me.

I think its possible to add cars not repleacing them.

I love Skylines (who guessed?) This model does look very nice, keep it up

[epoxi]

Wow DOHC_VTEC it looks great! Is there a special technique you use to model the complicated-shaped wheels?

Thanks Epoxi,

 

Not really, Suprisingly I found this set of wheels in a folder way back from 2004. I had modeled them in Zmodeler even...

 

Most of the time I would get a nice reference image and make a section of the wheel then duplicate and rotate it untill it makes a full circle

 

those particular wheels are Cheviot Hotwire, I beleive an NZ brand of alloys from the 70s which were very popular here, I thought they would suit the skyline since it was from that era also.

[epoxi]

Thanks for the reply. I think they suit the car perfectly, the IV engine really does them justice.

 

Edit: You inspired me to make some of my own wheels. Here is my first attempt at Lamborghini Diablo rims (tyres stolen from Juiced 2 because modelling/texturing tyres is boring and annoying).

[Herc]

nice wheels epoxi!

yeah, Tyres are not that enjoyable t make. I have re-used GTAIV tyre textures on numerous occasions as they seem to work pretty good.

 

Since yesterday I havent done much on the skyline. I however increase the resoloution on the badges so they now look a little nicer close up

 

 

 

Edit: Also the normals on the badges were inverted so it looked a bit wierd

Just inverted the green channel, pretty straight forward fix.

[Meeloh]

Once I get the Silvia ready for importing, someone may have to sit down with me and show me how to set it up for gta4. Because to be quite frank, I have no idea what I'm doing. xD

 

That and I have to fix my aero bumper as the lower openings are too far out. Yay effort.

[lowridincrew]

That skyline looks really nice

[epoxi]

I think I'm starting to get the hang of this now...

Nice work epoxi

[CHILLI]

Nice rims, though I noticed the odd lighting nearing the center of the first rim. Dunno if I'm being too picky, but I'd check out the triangulation and perhaps the shape a bit so it's less noticable.

Other than that I like it, quite detailed but still simple.

[epoxi]

It took 2 days, 3 attempts and like 20 reference images, but here is my BBS RS wheel:

 

 

Now I just hope 11,000 polies isn't too much for a single SA wheel.

 

Edit:

 

 

They look completely out of place, not to mention slow down my game.

Edited January 16, 2013 by epoxi

[Herc]

Good effort epoxi they look nice!

 

Who cares about poly count when your doing it for yourself, its all about the fun of making it and seeing it in action.

 

the wheels on my c210 are also something stupid, but I dont care for now. When I get around to doing the stock wheels I will try to keep them below 1k each I think.

 

I really wish GTAV will have a car mod garage, I really enjoyed them in SA, just popping into one with an old crappy car and roll out with a lowered beast with some nice rims. Much less effort than having to swap wheels everytime and re-export cars in GTAIV Besides, then we can have wheel packs again!

 

At least they have Trucks and trailers in the videos really missed those too..

Anyway offtrack a bit.. Nice work Epoxi

Thanks!

 

Also, +1,000,000 to the mod-shop comment. I think that level of car customisation in GTAV would firmly cement the game as my favourite of all time.

 

I remade the wheels (only took an hour this time lol). They are now ~4,000 polies, and look virtually the same.

 

 

I removed the deep-dish look as I don't think it suits the SA engine.

 

Edit: Made some Diablo SV wheels:

Try to Identify it if you can, the second picture is a bit of a hint to any history buffs out there.

Ever going to release the Diablo Rims?

They look amazing.

[Burbalade]

[EvilRaptor]

Burbalade that's beautiful

What map's that? It looks pretty sweet as well :]

[epoxi]

@GTAction99: Thanks! I plan to release a wheel pack once I have replaced all the SA wheels.

 

I have made an American Racing to replace Access wheels.

 

 

I'm going to dull the texture a bit to make it stand out less in-game.

[Parmm]

I think I'm starting to get the hang of this now...

 

I like those AMG Monoblock wheels, they look very nice I hope u will finish this pack someday.
