n00bingtarget Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 I downloaded 3dsMax from the student site at Autodesk, and am starting to try and teach myself about modeling. I've been playing with fixing the lights on the SCPD mod from NFS, and having some decent success there, so thought it might be time to look at trying to mod, but afraid this would be a big one.Has anyone done a Steampunk Mod? Here are some examples of vehicles I thought would be cool, but at this point they are WAY over my head.Would there be any interest in something like this? If someone was interested, I'd give it a try but I'm just starting out so it'd be a LONG TIME coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Handsup! Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 I think a lot of people would play a mod with early 1900s vehicles, but the workload would be massive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n00bingtarget Posted May 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 That was my concern. I think for my first mod I'll go the basic reskin / submod route. Was just surfing while waiting for my double hernia surgery Monday and found those awesome pics and said to myself that would make an unique mod. But the more I think about it, the more work it would entail, not just the vehicles with odd things like non-standard wheels, but the smoke from the boiler, the theme specific civilians, the housing, and also the old forced air sirens and lots of clanging bells.Oh well, thinking outside the box! MAYBE some day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voodoo_Operator Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Heh, I'd like to see the helicopter for a steampunk mod... you know, some kind of weird blimp/autogyro/hot air balloon contraption.Actually, did you really mean steampunk, or were you just thinking about a realistic vintage 1900s mod? Because those are two very different things.Personally, I was toying around with the idea of doing a mod set in the 1950s/1960s. Not sure if I'll ever have time to work on this, though.

Hoppah Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 I've got the helo vooder. It can even lift vehicles n stuff.Anyway, I'm not really interested in a mod based on fictional stuff. Or do you mean an early 20th century focused mod?The only mod that I know of that is not set in modern times, is the old DDR mod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Handsup! Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Yea, these look like older vehicles rather than anything to do with fictional Steampunky stuff, but unique none-the-less Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newfoundking Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 They are steamenginge vehicles, not steampunk. Just a little different The amount of work it'd take to create this kinda stuff would turn most modders away. Most people want the basic, known stuff they can run with, not having to recreate EVERYTHING in a fictional setting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
