RedCarDriver's Workshop

Original first post: I figured that, since I have a WIP topic on GOM, I may as well have one here. This is my latest project: a Holden VE Commodore, made from the Forza 3 meshes of the Pontiac G8, HSV W427, and Holden V8 Supercar. Thanks to Robban for converting the Forza meshes for me. (Pics are the same as on GOM.) A few notes: Since taking these photos, I have also fitted a hood to the W427 front end. Speaking of the W427 parts, interestingly, none of the three Forza meshes line up, because o

Once this is out, I'll try to make a LM bodykit for it.

BN Sports front bumper. Rest of the kit will be done soon. Also, I know that the front grille should be attached to the bumper, but I haven't finished that part yet.

K.D.F., is this any better? 😉

if you need some help witf it, pm me.)

# K.D.F. :

Alright, thanks for that image. I'm going to try re-doing the bumper again, because I missed some things on it anyway (the lip is too short, etc).

Also, for anyone wondering why the grille on that is wrong, it's because I haven't finished and attached that part yet.

# Supremen96 :
Will you be able to add URAS kit?

The front bumper, sure - I can probably get that from S-Tuner again. The rest of the kit is pretty similar to the BN Sports and Duce (Vertex) kits, so I don't see a point in making three of basically the same kit.

# stonedmonster :
could you do a drift/beater rear tube bar kind of thing

Sure thing. I was planning on it. I'll probably make one for the front, too.

# MADAZ_09 :
hey harrison, i was just thinking is it possible to build something like this with your mod?

Looks like the S2 front bumper with no foglights and a lip. I'll add a lip like that, and then it'll definitely be possible. 😉

# Dariuss :
really nice, but could you remove/make that grill from the bumper detachable?(the one from the intercooler)
sorry for this, but it looks better without it, imo

Probably not, actually - that will make the bumper behave strangely when you crash into things. If you want to get rid of the grille, you can just change the grille texture to a completely transparent one.

# Facepalm :

If I don't have it done when the car is out, then sure, please do! I am planning on making it a separate chassis, just so you know.

Holy_Shit_Man

So wait. You say that you've used S-Tuner parts on it? O_O They are pretty low poly as for FM model.

RedCarDriver

They're based on S-Tuner models, with an extra layer of mesh-smooth and then some additional tweaking. 😉 I've been using mesh-smooth on the Juiced 2 and S-Tuner models I've imported.

Sounds like a good plan. A separate chassis is probably better.
Well, I'm not very good with modelling, and I can't get 3DS Max to work too, so all I need is to find a solution for cdilla error, and then I'll try my best.

MADAZ_09

harrison - did you figure out how to rip parts straight from the site?

RedCarDriver

I sure did. It doesn't help as much as having the admin send them though, since it's way easier to get his un-smoothed copies of everything and use two layers of meshsmooth, instead of trying to re-adjust the ones that are already smoothed once and smooth them for just the second time.

MADAZ_09

ah I see, does sound easier, p.s I was talking to my mate with the 33 i posted before and those lights are just covers,
he got rid of the originals for it, and he has the car in pieces at the moment so if you need any photos of certain parts just

Working on turn signals for accessory lights (side markers, front bumpers):

The blinkers look superb.

I have strange feeling that you are going to release it soon.

MADAZ_09

trying to to bombard you with questions harrison, but do you have a complete list of what will be in the finished mod?

Thank you! Unfortunately, I think your feeling is quite strange indeed. 😛 It'll be released when it's done.

# MADAZ_09 :

I try not to make definite lists of this kind of thing, because I generally decide to add in parts once I realize they're doable, but here's the to-do list of things that definitely have to be in the mod before I release it:
· The rest of the Nismo 400R kit
· The rest of the BN Sports kit
· One or two more kits / parts from Juiced 2
· Stripped interior
· Stock brakes
· Roof wing, maybe

Supremen96

Are you going to make stripped interior as separate chassis?

# Supremen96 :

Yes he wrote that some pages ago.

RedCarDriver

# Supremen96 :
Are you going to make stripped interior as separate chassis?

I'm thinking of doing it as the main chassis, but we'll have to see. I haven't started on it yet.

If I do a "drift chassis" with a stripped-out dashboard (with Auto Meter gauges or whatever), that will definitely be a separate chassis.

MADAZ_09

I know a guy, who knows a guy, who knows a guy, who dated his sister, who knows another guy who may be building a tube chassis (front and rear)
for his dirty three, hit me up if you need anything else 😉

A tube chassis for his dick?

MADAZ_09

wat?

I'm going to make a drift bar for the front and rear, and I might make a tube frame chassis for the front - I don't know yet. If you have pics, I'd definitely try to use them.
