[Carface80]

still doing the front axle area

 

[Nik.]

Looking good tho mate.

[Carface80]

thanks nik

 

i spent a good time modeling the steering box....lol

 

I realized the axle is too small, I just resized them.

 

 

 

[RoadRunner71]

dat detail level.

 

[Compeast]

Very accurate. Looks promising!

[poctik]

I can already see how Nico entertains police in Liberty City=))

[Carface80]

Thanks everyone, Got the steering linkages done, finished the transmission (still needs the transfer case) redo the floorpans, modeled the instrument clusters.

[Carface80]

tough choice, stock wheels (top) or stamped steel wheels (bottom)

 

 

[Carface80]

hardly made any progress

 

[Nik.]

Remember you need to texture all that later.

 

Looking great, tobad I dont know much of this kind of cars so I could give you any advice.

[Carface80]

@nik UV mapping is easy as long i don't merged the parts too soon. Still have to make old mesh for it

[Rocket350]

great detail for the game model.

[RoadRunner71]

tough choice, stock wheels (top) or stamped steel wheels (bottom)

 

These look better with this truck, in my opinion.

[G.C.T.]

this jeep will be the American or European version?

[unbid]

tough choice, stock wheels (top) or stamped steel wheels (bottom)

 

 

 

I prefer the stock version, but why not both?

 

And BTW, this is a perfect kidnapping car in my country. Can't wait to touch this baby!

[Carface80]

@roadrunner Hmm i might go for the second wheel then

 

@gct Most of my references photos are American spec. Since im going for the 1978 models, unfortunately its not going to be 100% accurate because of some of the pre-1978 models photos are mixed with my reference.

[Carface80]

@roadrunner looks like im exportin 2 wft file for the wheels. I cant wait for GTAV, this truck better suited, then hopefully someone make a HD CJ and YJ then its 3x fun.

[Nik.]

Fine, then you can Map my models.

[Carface80]

@bundi ill keep them both too, i cant wait for GTAV is out so I can swap wheels, these FJ40's are once a common sight in southeast Asia. No surprised about using it as a getaway car in your country, this 4X4 can go anywhere specially in the jungle. In urban areas, most criminals used bikes to do their dirty work, a land cruiser can go though heavily congested urban roads

 

@nik not fun doing it on zmod though on my Monaro I been planar mapped most of the parts.

[Nik.]

Im doing my models in max Brian.

[Rocket350]

What year this car?

[RoadRunner71]

What year this car?

1978 I think that Carface has said.

[Carface80]

@nik im sure 3ds max have fancy uv mapping tools.

 

@rocket350 very hard to make it exact for 1978, so im trying to make it as Close as possible.

[Nik.]

It does but I hate doing it, no matter in zmod or max lol.

[Carface80]

hardly productive, only got 3 hours of sleep because I played Burial of the sea came out...I'm feeling really numb.

 

[RoadRunner71]

Looks neat so far, are you gonna leave it as a convertible or will it have roof?

[Carface80]

@roadrunner there will be a roof as extra. I'm not sure I can put door dummies as part of the extra1 heirarchy . I want the doors and roof gone,I'm not sure its possible.
