Hi Volks

This will be my first car for a game ever. Im trying to keep the polycount very low and still having lots of detail on it (Not to exede 4000 Polygons, the F50 has about 5500) I plan to redo the spoiler and part under the turningsignal

The first Release will have a diffrent Hood (and Frontbumper) and more Performance. Any Idea what it is ?

Made a first in game shot/test w/o textures so far

And it did not sink or hover

. My besste guess is cos i took the weels from the C5 Z06 and moved the whole thing to the weels and moved the weels only across the horizotal axis. I also calculatet the midle of the Front and Rear Tires to create a polygon that has all 3 points in the same place as a guide in Oedit to place the weel/brake bones right by copying the cords from the 4 polygons to the bones. And it rolls round and round

Bad thing is: the Drivermodell is only in to load in restet position. Looks like i have try around for the right bone position like the rest of you

Well, what is done and left to do?

Done:

Performacetweaking for the 1998-2002 Versione is done (anyone joned the game "NFS6 V#242 T/A Testrun" lately?)

To Do:

Rearspoiler

1998-2002 front

Rims

Intorier

Better mirrors

Foglights, T-Tops and other small details are to edit into the existing body

Bottom with more details than usual

Texturing

(Has anyone a free Wacom for me?)

Lower LOD of it all

Handlingtweaking by someone who owns both (car and game)

Hmm, not Camaro? sure looks it from the back... the front ain't on the orig shots. In that case - I have no idea!

i dont get it i mean if we are able to mod cars for other nfs series games wat makes nfsu any different?

EA just making it more complicate. I guess they did this, just because user made cars are way better than EA's. (Ex: Viper_GTS)

Trans-Am

Tomar · Post by **Tomar** » 07 Mar 2004, 03:17

yup, its a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am of the 4th generation. A Trans Am is a Firebird with bigger engine, harder/deeper suspension and a (or bigger) rear spoiler. And it uses the same base as the Camaro, so called F-Body by Fischer. The the Corvette C4 and C5 may look similar to the 3rd (You know Knight Rider, don't you?) and 4th generation, but its a Y-Body, also by Fischer as far i Know it.
Ok, this is going off-topic. enough of it.
