I simply decided to start a new thread for photos and info on models that are being worked on by me at this time. As the vehicles get closer they may or may not get a thread dedicated to them and suggestions. I'm hoping to possibly work with some of the guys working on an American Mod of this game. For now these exist on 3d Max only. They are taken from other games or created from scratch with realistic blue prints found online. None of these models have any uvw templates or skins right now. That will come later. I'm using the Crown Victorian Police Interceptor as a test model to learn the little secrets of files and the editor itself. I am getting much faster at the modeling and project managment. I have a huge tie up right now with uvw mapping and skinning the models. This is mostly because it seems to be very hard to get general profile shots of each vehicle that have any quality. I have reached out to a few of my state trooper friends to send me some high resolution photos of the unmarked interceptors to be used for a template for mapping. It is is unmarked then maybe people could add and/or change colors and skins to fit the livery of the mod.
The other problem is the bandwidth sucks and most of the time I have to tether my phone and use it. Days away seem to be getting longer and being able to communicate with people has been almost impossible including home. I use this model making as a way to kill time when not talking with my wife and kids. I wish i could get more done but right now it is just me with the help of killerkonsti. His help has been so helpful that i can;t even say. His patience and understanding of this game has been a saving grace and one of the ONLY reasons that I continued after the huge setback with the most recent patch.
Well anyways here are some of the 3d models in the works. Hope you all enjoy.
Dodge Durango Police Interceptor. Hope to have a marked version and unmarked version. The Light bar is a LED, Code 3 HID. This should also be made separate and hopefully can be added to any vehicle with the editor.
Chevy Tahoe Police Interceptor. (Not is the best shape but getting there. Still looking for the front bumpers model and traffic directors added to it. Lightbar on this model is based off a Whelen LED HID strobe lightbar
MY personal favorite right now as it was mostly designed by me taking prints for the internet based on the real Dodge Charger. Still got some work to do on this as well. Will be adding a traffic director to the rear window. Code 3 LED HID Lightbar model with side scene lighting. Red,Blue, White
Ford E350 Ambulance. Model is still in heavy building process A ton of rendering problems with see through textures and over lapping meshes. This model may require a rebuild to make it work better for Em2016. I started this one before i figured out some of the secrets to the 3d Max program.
I am also working on a MACK fire pumper truck as well based on prints. Look for this one to come soon. It will be my FIRST American Fire related model. We will have to see how much time it will take to start getting this ready as well.
Stay tuned and Have a Great day,
My thoughts and prayers for those that were lost in the latest terrorist attacks as well. We will find them and make them pay.
