Another update on the crowne vic black and white. Well things are moving along nicely but I have yet to try and get her from the 3ds Max into the game as of right now. I think I may see a couple complications and the first is the transparent windows. I like them alot however I don't think EM5-2016 will allow it. So for now they will stay transparent.
Changes made so far. Parts have been separated for wheels, front driver door, rear driver side door, front pass door, rear pass door, the trunk will be added as an equipment door. All the lights are separated and if all goes well I hope to make the red/blue light bar available as a separated unit to add to the Emergency world builder. That way you could attach it to ANY vehicle. This is yet to come. Interior has been done and the model has been slimmed down on the polygons count.
There are a few graphical anomalies with the model. The first is you can see that even though the texture was 2 sided it still does not work. The police UV Map can be seen through the roof and the doors, also at some angles it will appear that the car has missing parts. However the camera angles for em5-2016 won't really allow this view. Working on fixing that. I added edging to the doors to make the look more 3d and not flat. They were paper thing before now they look like more of a car door.
Hope to get it imported soon into the game for some screenshots in EM5-2016. Stay tuned and hopefully time will allow some more work.
added transparent textures to the windows and lightbar. Front grill has been made into more of a grey metal with glossiness.
A quick look at a graphic anomaly with two sided textures NOT working as of now. You can also see that more or a metal shine has been added to the material file and uv mapping.
A quick view into the interior of the vehicle, just to show that it does have a basic one. In case EM5-2016 camera angles can ever be adjusted to view at street level. Also gone are the flat doors, they "sorta" look realistic. It is very hard to keep the poly count down and make the vehicle look realistic.
Finally here is a screenshot of another old fellow hoping to make a comeback. The old Ford Series Diesel Ambulance. In this quick shot below you can see it being assembled bit by bit. Updates to come on both and once again thanks to Killerconsti for the help with getting some things to work in 3ds max and I'm sure he will be helping me further with the export into the game.
Hope everyone has a good night / day and hope to get some more updates soon.
