EmC-Unit Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 Take a look at this:This is the first thing I've modeld by myself. The only tutorial I saw was about making a chair. It's a LAFD Ambulance. It's not finished yet. I can just recommend Sketchup to beginners. It's really easy.Looking nice but...Write how to put from skp to > z3d ?

Guest TrulsRulez Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 I dunno. I just did it for fun. But it might be possbile to use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bama1234 Posted June 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 1. You can't export that to .z3d without buying Google Sketchup Pro first, which runs about $495.00 USD. 2. That model will not look right in zmodeler because there are glass textures on it, and Emergency 4 will most likely not regocnize that, because all the glass textures on vehicles are skinned. There is some glass, but Im not sure it will recognize it. Besides that, the model has no interior.3. Other than that, it looks like a great model Let's try to keep things that have to do with the NYC topic only in here, please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EM4life Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 When puting FDNY vehicles in the stations, there is a lader truck (usually a tiller or Mack), a pumper, and a batalion chief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xplorer4x4 Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 Why funny? NYPD uses those to give parking infractions or traffic contraventions. We have them here to, but they only get used downtown which is a pretty small area compared to the rest of the city.Looking nice but...Write how to put from skp to > z3d ?Search is your best friend.

jab16 Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 not exactaly, it is a personal mod and he did use some of hoppahs units but he also made some units for it:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bama1234 Posted June 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 not exactaly, it is a personal mod and he did use some of hoppahs units but he also made some units for it:)Progress is little more than the last update, the mod itself is about 60% done now. Other than that my 30-day trial for 3d studio max is nearly up and i am still learning the ever-so-difficult zmodeler. I have only a few full-funtional models complete with wheels and doors, the best so far is the ambulance I showed everyone earlier on, that model will definitely replace one of the medics in the mod.Id also like to say this:To everyone here, please stop PMing me asking for specific models and such, because the answer will ALWAYS be NO. Until, that is, [and if] I ever get permision to release this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szron Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 What is price of activation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyPI Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 3DS Max isnt cheap, it is a professional application which can do many things to an extremely great detail, so expect to pay an extreme number to get your hands on a full version of it. The freebie version most people can't seem to hunt down works about the same but I am not sure if it's export works 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bama1234 Posted June 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Good news, everyone. I now can model without having to worry about my trial running out! Gmax is working fine for me, and I now have a model I want to show you all. Thanks to Mikey for all the help, couldnt have done it without you.

bama1234 Posted June 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 @ Jab I just used Gmax and got some tools called "LithUnwrap" and Tempest. @ Anyone who can help:But right now, I have a big problem. ONCE AGAIN, and I dont know why, the game has kept asking me for the CD key. Practically EVERY TIME I start it up. And till now Ive been entering it and its started up right but now, of course, just like it did before, (And keep in mind that this is the Atari version, not Direct2Drive, with which this occured before as well), It stopped accepting the key and gave me this: So I had this problem with Atari AND Direct2drive versions. Both. So basically heres how it goes:1. It asks for the key after I first install the game.2. It asks just about every time I start it up after that.3. Eventually key stops working and I get error. Help?BTW the Bronco is skinned and now I have to add wheels, door, and mirrors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xplorer4x4 Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Well you have to contact atari or d2d. The errors seems pretty self explanatory. You have activated it to many times and the DRM has kicked in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 I had the SAME ISSUE!!!! I CONTACTED ATRI AND REQUESTED A NEW CD KEY. YOU WILL NEED THE ORDER NUMBER IF U ORDERED IT ON LINE. JUST FOR VERIFICATION REASONS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyPI Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Your model looks a bit too elaborate, you will probrably want to merge away some of those polygons, EM4/FR does not work too well with overly complicated models, remember it has to load everything that is on the map so every polygon adds to the load on a computer. The roof in particular is a place you can clip away a good deal of polygons without the model getting damaged in the process. As for the other part, welcome to Digital Rights Management and all it's stupidity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, here is the progress so far:Anyone know how to fix those cracks? I tried vertex welding and it didnt work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jab16 Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 just do a staright line connecting the two vertex it should look fine as long as your not right on top of the unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bama1234 Posted June 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 The cracks dont even show up in-game so its not a problem. Anyways it is complete (except for mirrors, which im working on right now). Ill try to get pics up soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made a light, and no matter what I do it wont light up. Why wont it let me upload a picture? It says that the file is too big. The pic is only 321x289!.
