Hmmm, yeah... I'm making a car: 1985 Monte Carlo

Post by AdR »

It started originally as a project for a mod for the game "Nascar Heat", I'm modelling the 1984 season cars, wich are, apart from this one, a Buick Regal, a Ford Thunderbird and a Pontiac Grand Prix. Might make the street versions of each one for C2 also, but for now, here's a preview of the Monte:

http://dtd.joypadjunkies.com/AdR/prevst ... eWIP_1.jpg

Trying to keep stuff as simple as I can, I'm keeping the polycount below 5,5k this time and i'm @ about 3,5k and as far as modelling goes, only the interior it's left to work on... Nothing I really care about anyway, since I mostly play C2 in software mode :grin:, but since there's always someone who asks "what's the polycount on that", there ya go.

It's been a while since I posted my last preview here, so I'm expecting some feedback... maybe... or maybe not?... whatever :tongue:

Wow! :thumbsup:

Will u make a nascar version of that one too?

I just remember that one of my first 3d games i ever played was with a green-yellow colored monty stock car with maybe 10 polies or somethin like that :wink: ... i don't remember the name of that game cuz i was very young and my father let me play it on his pc in that time... maybe someone else knows what the hell i am talkin bout...

Anyways, enough of MCF's history, keep the good stuff up, AdR !

C2 software mode? Yuk! But I remember a time I had to use that, years ago!

Car is looking fine, always wanted a mid 80s G-body, still love the cutlass more though, but this will do!

Thanks for the comments!

@MCF: Yeah, the nascar version is on the works, not for C2 though.

@AWD: Polymodelled as usual, yep.

@Buzz: Thanks for being so honest :grin:

@Autopilot: The good thing about software mode is that I can play with a lot of opponents without any frame rate, polycount or textures problems... that means: more fun! :grin:

It's flawless! Are you gonna make the front fascia come off as a whole leaving the headlights in place?

Teaser:

Left to do: texturing the interior and getting it in game.

A couple of quick renders with some parts detached here.

Oh, btw, the front fascia does comes off as one part.

K, one last preview before getting it in game:

http://dtd.joypadjunkies.com/AdR/prevstuff/monte_01.jpg

it's not final, gotta add the emblems and fix the distance between the front wheel arc and the door, wich should be the half of what it actually is :tongue:, and I might even add a full frame to it, since the polycount it's 4741, so I won't be exceeding my budget this time :wink:

I finally got it done! made some renders of it, just click on the pic to see more:

Some of the changes that I've made are the new optional SS alloy rims and a full frame (that one's for you, Small Block!), I also fixed the door thing.

All there's left to do is to get it through bemax, pt2 and finally into the game, after doing all the "paperwork" (as DB says :wink:), wich is the most boring part :tongue:
