PLEASE tell me this is for "Modify your E-Series V3"

:D:D

Looks awesome John! How long have yuo been working on that for?

by **EFFalcon** » July 7th, 2008, 9:48 am

I wish it was

I'd make it into V3 if i was getting paid for it.

don't know how many hours has been spent yet.
been a bit of a learning experience more then anything, previous work was done using a different application

by **galapogos01** » July 7th, 2008, 9:53 am

what are you doing it in? looks cool

by **EFFalcon** » July 7th, 2008, 9:58 am

3dsmax

by **Commando** » July 7th, 2008, 10:03 am

Doh

Looking forward to see it being completed though

I think you need to do a black boxcar next.

by **speed.freak** » July 7th, 2008, 4:39 pm

impressive

by **EFFalcon** » July 7th, 2008, 4:40 pm

you have to have an eye for it.
the above is pretty damn average compared to the quality thats around.

like the detail on this one...
apparently done by a 14 year old, which has been about 6 months in the making.

by **Bipolar** » July 7th, 2008, 5:17 pm

That's sik. I've always wanted to try that, ever since I got a freebie program for the Amiga. It wouldn't have looked even half as good as yours though.

by **iliov** » July 7th, 2008, 5:44 pm

im gonna have a shot at making my car. I used to be god at 3ds max

by **EB_GLI92** » July 7th, 2008, 10:52 pm

That looks hard as, I wish i had the skills to do sumthin like that.

by **Russ.** » July 7th, 2008, 11:49 pm

Looking good! Some of the robotics blokes at Uni were working on a driving simulator a while back, they used on of our old SAE Race cars and put in sensors etc. so it you drove using our racer's controls with 3 flatscreen TV's (1 directly in front and one on each side on an angle), but it was really average, I don't know what they were using to set it up, but they were running some big computers to power it!

Looks mad.

Will not be long until people start requesting their car to be done...

(j/k)

Too late....

by **EFFalcon** » July 8th, 2008, 8:22 am

near complete front bar.
need to tweak the insert a bit still

by **Dansedgli** » July 8th, 2008, 8:24 am

What do you do with these pictures once you make them?

by **EFFalcon** » July 8th, 2008, 8:25 am

most likely nothing.
but i could use it as a game model, or for animations.

more of an interest thing then anything else.

by **Gozza** » July 8th, 2008, 9:35 am

Looks really good man - When my Missus was doing a Multimedia Degree they were using 3dsmax - her main focus wasn't 3d modeling so she wasn't great with it - but it looked like an annoying process

by **Kyle the ED4LTR** » July 8th, 2008, 9:47 am

all the e series tech heads should put together an E Series/Boosted Falcon mini game. Id give 3dsmax and C++ a go again as i used to do a bit of it

by **Kyle the ED4LTR** » July 8th, 2008, 10:41 am

or make em as a mod for a game like LFS

by **fordbaby** » July 8th, 2008, 11:13 am

i think about 100 hours have gone into it at home and work.
im convinced you only do work for a few hours a day then do that

by **EFFalcon** » July 8th, 2008, 11:16 am

na.. no where near that

by **fordbaby** » July 8th, 2008, 11:38 am

hmm i dunno about that

by **travs ea-xr6** » July 8th, 2008, 8:29 pm

That looks bloody good .But theres one thing wrong its not white

by **EFFalcon** » July 9th, 2008, 7:09 am

colour change is the easiest bit

by **EFFalcon** » July 9th, 2008, 8:20 am

first go at headlight

by **Bipolar** » July 9th, 2008, 8:33 am

Lookin good. I'm guessing doing the reflectors behind would be too much of a pain in the arse...?

by **EFFalcon** » July 9th, 2008, 8:41 am

i did a basic reflector in that one.

by **fordbaby** » July 9th, 2008, 11:16 am

DO SOME REAL WORK FOR A CHANGE

by **travs ea-xr6** » July 9th, 2008, 12:23 pm

That looks like a really good program.What do you do it all free hand or something on the computer.Or does it do it off a pic you already have. :?:

by **EFFalcon** » July 9th, 2008, 1:20 pm

you use reference images and slowly hbuild, long process

by **EB_GLI92** » July 9th, 2008, 2:23 pm

When do you think this will be finished??

by **AaronEF8** » July 9th, 2008, 2:33 pm

That GTR is nuts! It's have well over a million polys though.

rFactor can use 3dsmax for car models

Will it be hard to change the right front end parts to make an XR, GLi etc etc?

by **krisisdog** » July 9th, 2008, 2:43 pm

/Downloads 3ds Max

by **EFFalcon** » July 9th, 2008, 3:01 pm

no idea, limited time to work on it and slow progress.
but i'd rather not rush it.

its by no means perfect, but good learning

yeah, the GTR is insane Aaron, he's modelling the interior now.
its amazing the level of detail these guys are doing.

wouldn't be THAT hard to change front end parts but one thing at a time!

by **iliov** » July 9th, 2008, 5:15 pm

Are you using blueprints??

im gona take photos of my car and get modeling

by **EFFalcon** » July 9th, 2008, 6:22 pm

No, using photos of my car.
any blue prints for an EF that i've seen are shite and don't accurately reflect an EF.

decent photos are good enough!
