Whoa looks ace man!

Ok, I will try but I have problem, I imported it into Zmod2, and I had to reset axis, car became dark so i calculated normals, then that thing appeared, like flat shading in Zmod1

 

anyone know how to fix it ?

You can't - polys with unlinked texture coordinates in zmod2 will not be smoothed when you recalculate normals. The only fix is to reload the model and NOT recalculate normals, or wrap the car in a texture rather than mapping sets of polys individually where you want them to be smooth.

@Chilli - your models show great promise but you would achieve sooo much more with 3D Studio Max and Kam's DFF/IO plugins for it... then you'll quickly progress to modelling and texturing like a pro. My 2c.

 

Suction Testicle Man.. Much respect for your hosting and contributions to the GTA community. I have always wanted to know but been too afraid to ask about your name.. should I be afraid?

 

Merry St Pats Day peoples - I hope much green beer was consumed by all.

Merry St Pat's to you too! Nothing much in the name - I was making up superheroes one bored Sunday with my dad, many eons ago, and I felt STM was the best result.

That's a bug. Get ZModeler 2.1.0. I had the same problem.

@Chilli : That car of yours somehow reminds me of the Vector W8

Finally, a GTA car styled Hummer!

[CHILLI]

thanks for the comments guys and nice to see that this looks like some real car, but I wasnt even planning on making it look like any real car. only a few pieces (the shapes) but from a whole lot of different cars. this project is going really well! I've added underbody, engine (nothing covering it yet. but it will be glass), cutted out the bonnet. but I will make it a proper object later. I still have to add a front bumper, rear bumper, doors, interior (damn such a pain it will be to make), and some other things before creating the small detials. I've make pretty high detialed rearlights already. but that was just because I knew exactly how they should look.

and oh! I forgot to tell you! I've totally rebuilt the rear of the car. it looked way too wierd. still I need to fix the flat surface I got after cutting out the spoiler. but I dont think it's that hard. just make a few lines and reshape them so they look right ^^ I will try to make the edge parts of the car higher polygoned so you dont really see that it's a edgy lowpoly car. the roof is having the shape of a CCX. but not exactly like it. not that funny looking rear of the roof. it will "float" like on the lamborghini.

and a pic for you:

you can see the underbody in the reflection. maybe not that good, but you can see it. I took a picture of the front, but you didnt see any change from that view...

 

@Buchsi: cool hummer! it looks funny, but nice. I could try to make wheels for it if you want ^^

 

EDIT: could someone help me making the interior?... or give any good tip on how to make it. I'm having problems with basicly everything except door size... which is easy to make. but it's just the interior I'm going nuts at atm.

Well I only know how to do it in Zmodeler so I hope it goes about the same way in your 3D program...

Make a copy of your object and flip it. You should start making your interior from that point. It is not necessary to connect all polygons (like connecting the seats with the floor/underbody for example) just move it so it looks like it is connected.

But I guess you already know that stuff since you`ve made some nice wheels...

[CHILLI]

YEEEEES!!! I made it! I made it! I finally mastered the art of interior! I'll try to att a extra roof inside so you wont see through it at right if you may rotate the camera around it and then notice that a part of the roof is missing from one side. well about the car, I'll have to reshape the roof because I had to make the windshield bigger and highered up the rear so I was able to put a rear window there. I'll add steeringwheel and the mirror inside the car when I'm about to do the finishing touches on it. I made pretty edgy seats, but still not like these in SA. that stupid boxes O.o

tell me what ya think! I'm so f****** happy with it! I've never been coming this far on a car in any program before! and I mean it! isnt it just great? woohooo! first time I've been able to make enough space for seats! and those are taking most space in there! cheers! I'm so HAPPY! *changed from beer to fanta wild fruits and gets a lot of chocolate* please give me some comments on my work so far! if you want I can remove the roof in a render so you can see the seats easier.

 

EDIT: I've made the doors now. I like them

I've been converting this for about two weeks. Downloaded from Planit3d.com, the wheels were modeled by me and the extras were modeled by me too.

To do list:

-Bodymap

-Fix wheels size

-A lot of stuff

Im not too sure about those wheels man... Looks like an offroader with oversized street tires?

No, they are perfect...

 

@Stefaan: Nice design

 

@Rodrigo: Nice hilux. Turn off the dynamic shadow ingame, the cars look better without it.

The wheels need to be sized down - this makes it look like a rap video prop*. Awesome work nonetheless.

Thanks. The wheels are only for the picture. I will create new ones.

[CHILLI]

some uppppdatessssssss! I added bumper, windows on the sides and made the front and rear window a group so I can make damages eaier later. added a glass "bonnet" to the engine. I will try to make some vent shapes things later. the underbody is pretty much finished imo. it's going to be a 4x4 car later so I think they look good already. I dont think that dynamic suspension will be on this car. because I accidently attached the suspension to the body... I might be able to change it and make them groups so it wont happen again. but it will take a bit longer time than it took to actually make them. but I could allways try. do you like it? you can still tell me what I should add. I will add mirrors on the doors soon. I suck at making them so lets hope these will be good. and the wheels will come later. I'm making the chassi first and make sure that looks good. I'm adding damagable parts while making it. what I've made so far is...

-boot (the front will be a trunk)

-front bumper

-windows

-glass "bonnet" for the engine.

and soon the spoiler. or if I might know how the rear bumper should look I'll make that. and MAYBE wings. and it will be a big area of damage if I'll make it. so it looks like the whole car have been beaten up and not just around the front. what I've planned to make as the side damage should be: front wheel well-around the doors-a piece of the roof, but I'm not sure-rear wheel well-a little beside the exhausts. it will take a lot of time. but I think I would be able to do it. so if you will run into a wall from the side, expect the side to be really scratched! or even more than the half is gone and old rusty metal is left. or just really bashed up chrome. I will try to make as much 3D as I can on it. to make it look more realistic.

Chilli, you should try and smooth out your car. The hood looks concave and nothing looks even.

[CHILLI]

lol ok I usually soften it when the most is finished. but I can allways use hidden goemetry when modeling. btw, I've added the inside of the the damaged chassi. dont say it looks terrible because it really is meant to be the completely dented inside of the car. I was just lucky that non of the lines were sticking out in the wrong place.

healthy:

completely destroyed:

 

[.:Rodrigo:.]

I made a couple of new extras and I've been trying to get chrome ingame.

I've added a vent for cooling down the rear wheels and a grill. I will make a badge if I can get a good design of it. I also added rearview mirrors on the doors. next up should be um... I'm actually losing ideas here... anyone that would like something added on this car?

 

EDIT: you can see that my car isnt the best looking creation so far. well, it have changed right now! I've made highpoly wheel wells and added wheels I made myself. I got big problems with well sizes and wheel sizes. I had to do a lot of work to get everything look like it should. well, what I've done since last time you saw this beast is:

* added rearview mirrors

* fixed wheel wells

* added highpoly wheels

* new rearlights and changed suspension for rear wheels

* added glass on parts that's supposed to have glass in the front of it

this model is getting more and more laggy to move the camera around, which means it's being a lot of polys in different directions the program have to render outlines on in each frame. here's some pics of how it looks now:

I wasnt happy with the rearlights so I changed them to this. I think it looks better for this car.

cool car roberto! this looks like a delorean and a mitsubishi 3000GT. really nice!

[pietjuh]

CHILLI I liked the first version of the rearlights more. They have a unique shape which I didn`t see before. But it`s a matter of taste I guess.

if you didnt know already I've told you people that I could put anything different if it sounds like a good idea. so yea, I could make something that looks special and not just like scquares atm. and I might just know how it should look... but dont say "hey" too early. because they arent just a simple piece of crap. I will try to make them look unique in one or either way. like this?

or I could allways try my other idea if these still looks boring. I want that the car looks good for most people. not only me. comeon people! I'm giving you a chance to change a work here! take your chance before it's too late! and when I say "too late" I mean when I'm about to texture it. I will give you a warning message when I'm about to texture it. when that's done it's less chance that I will change something. but tell me what you think and then say what should be changed if something on the car dont fit properly. this is my first car that will probably be for SA I think. so please help me with making this car so it looks right. all I can do is to make sure that you like it. I've seen a lot of mods that doesnt look too good... like lazy texturing (real life pictures or just some wierd texture all over the place). well it's late and I'm tired. cya all 2morrow

[pietjuh]

Hehe they do not look bad at all but I`m interested in your other idea. But you could wait for more comments because mabey I am the only one that wants to see different rearlights.
