Xplorer4x4 Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 Looks pretty good, but keep in mind, most modelers aim for less then 5,000 polygons per model to ensure that things run smoothly for everyone. E4 was designed for low polygon models, not high polygon models like NFS3 cars. Also keep in mind, if you plan to release this you need to have permission from the original modelers to re-release thee models. I believe your time would be better spent on civilian cars, and using NFS I models as I believe this is where Hoppahs CV model originated.

willa078 Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Brilliant idea from a brilliant game for another brilliant game. I like NFSHP however it does get boring quickly, much prefer NFS most wanted even though its not for the PS3 Definitely think you should add the Bugatti or the porshe cayen jeeps. They are soo nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xplorer4x4 Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 Theres an edit button in the bottom of the post for a reason. I am looking for a modeler that can convert and low poly the models, Work In Progress Good luck, it is very hard to find any one to do much of anything around here. Everyone that can do things is pretty much tied up with multiple projects. It's not really a matter of conversion, it's about merging the polygons. A modeler would tel you it more efficent to just create a model from scratch then it is to spend the time merging polygons. You can always go on the zmod website and forums. I am sure they have a tutorial on merging polygons there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not really a matter of conversion, it's about merging the polygons. A modeler would tel you it more efficent to just create a model from scratch then it is to spend the time merging polygons. You can always go on the zmod website and forums. I am sure they have a tutorial on merging polygons there.It's actually fairly easy to merge out the polygons on a model, I do it to mine before I UV map em because sometimes you place needless verts that can be done away with. In Z2 it's hard to find it, but Select>Quadrant (use whichever selection method you want quad is rectangular so it's easy to grab verts) select the vertices on one side of the car, then delete that side of the car, retain the other side of it so that it can be merged down, once it is merged down then you copy the side you didnt delete and mirror it, then flip it's faces and attatch the two halves of the car back together, this step can be skipped, however it'll take twice as long to merge the verts.Modify>Submesh>Weld action, enable selected mode and ensure you are in vertice editing mode on the model, left mouse click the vertices become one and the difference between them is split so that in the end the model actually stays fairly close to it's original shape.Now for the problem with doing this and why most won't do it... When you merge the vertices of a model you in turn wreck the UV mapping, so it has to be re UV mapped, for most model makers UV mapping is the more annoying aspect than making the model it's self, you have to realign all the crap on the UV again whereever you may have merged things together, some things should survive in tact unless the model is ungodly excessive in polygons. Making a ehh 10k poly car into an EM4 car wouldnt be too difficult, however at 20-30k range it becomes pretty useless, better to build a model on top the high poly one.

I will see what i do. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xandarb Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 Don't mix Need For Speed Hot Pursuit (2010) with Need For Speed 3 Hot Pursuit(1998).Nfs 3 hp is the best nfs, and also the first need for speed I bought. Best game i ever played! It was released in about 1998. Nfs hp is the latest nfs. And probably has the best graphic of all of the games in the nfs series.You guys have been talking about Need For Speed 3 Hot Pursuit (1998). But the pics are Need For Speed Hot Pursuit (the one released 2010).I have both of these games, and i think that Ea-Games/Electronic Arts were stupid when they released a game with the same name. 12 years after the "real" Need For Speed Hot Pursuit. Need for Speed 3: Hot Pursuit (1998)(or with III instead of 3) Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit (2010)Edit: I added different colors so that my post doesn't get too messy. And, well, it is still very messy. Edit2: Now I maybe understand a reason for why you call it nfs hp3, it's the third hp. But it's the 16th need for speed. And i might have messed with nfs hp3 and nfs3 hp.However, if you meant nfs hp (2010) by saying nfs hp3, you guys are the first i notice that calls nfs hp (2010) like that. And since I believed that you meant nfs3 hp probably some other people might think so to. But the official name for nfs hp (2010) is: Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
