David's trying to do an AC mod

David_2709

So ehm yeah, I am trying to get a E39 ingame.
I don't know shit about doing that, so far I just managed to rip this model.

now how do I move the wheels?

Remco

Could you please re-read the topic title, kthx.

press W to move the wheels.

here's an old tutorial i made, pretty basic and straight forward, all you need to get your car working in game basically.

Not everything has to be SLRR centered; imo SLRRs skill can't benefit me that much.

Yeah from the 3D model with the correct wheel position there are some other tuts aswell, gonna check it out too. Thanks.
I only got one wheel model though, how can I duplicate it? I don't have any tires either.

Extracted LOD0; though I got a front mask that is overlapping (see first pic). I am unsure if I should delete it or not.

What about textures?

Are you high? He's MAKING mod FOR Assetto Corsa, not FROM Assetto Corsa

What KeeJay said^^^^

I suggest you to stop being a smartass ultimatestance

anyway, back on topic, make a group out of the rims, and hold shift when moving, when copied shift+a with the move tool and click on the brake rotor.
most of the time i just rip the tires from AC cars, because they look the best imo

Oh. My bad, I thought the opposite 😛

small update, Renamed some things (for myself) and positioned the wheels. They have a huge wheel gap so I need to fix that. Aswell as the calipers, the brake rotors are already in position (forgot to select the calipers before moving, fuck me). And deleted some chassis parts underneath that aren't visible to lower polygons.

The wheels look kinda too small too...

yurisminator

yeh those are some tiny ass rims..

Remco

no need to delete stuff, lod0 forza models are +- the same polycount as kunos models 😛

David_2709

fixed wheels and brake calipers. Now onto slapping it ingame

Question: How to import textures and so on? I don't know how. Extract from Forza Studio, but then?

Well actually SLRR can teach you a load more about how a game works than any other game(as you can really see every single bit of how it is made).

But besides, i'm curious to see how this goes, keep us updated step by step, please! 🙂

David_2709

more preparation, fiddled (no shit) 2 hours with the forza textures until I got it right where everything belongs. Don't know how to make new materials, googled for 45 minutes and still haven't found a solution, please help me.

NEED GLASS MATERIAL

Remco

ehhh, texturing/shading goes through kseditor, and not 3dsmax 😛

David_2709

How do I get some tires on there? Do I need to model them from scratch? Remcos tutorials says he didn't include the tires, so where do I get them?

Remco

rip them from AC cars

David_2709

how?
open the kn5 files?
I googled and found an extractor, but it's just a script, so how do I work with that?

Remco

Take the model and textures from here: http://gamemodels.ru/files/category/653-assetto-corsa/
