Awesome man! And the wheels look perfect. :) Those wheels on the front look like they are civic wheels.
You should call up the developers of Forzamotor Sport and have them add that in there!! :D

[jkool15]

lol that would be awsome if they put it in.... and the front rims are from a civic.... they're the si or sir rims.. not sure which it comes on

[Hans]

I wouldn't mind havin me some civic rims now! lol as long as they're those :)

[jkool15]

im working on doing the windows right now..... and im having a hard time with the back door handle ... i think i may have to redo the whole rear door.... i think after that i can mirror all the parts so it is a whole car..... then i start on the interior.... for the interior i only have to make the parts that my camera will see for my project.... but i think i may end up making everything just so i have a full model of a 3gee

[jkool15]

I wouldn't mind havin me some civic rims now! lol as long as they're those :)

look at the first page of this thread .. there is a photoshop of my car with those rims..... those are the rims i want to get....

[jkool15]

got the full body now..... only thing left is to try and make the back handle... and maybe the splash gaurds

the interior is coming along nicely, i think... i want to have a full interior done one day in full detail.... but for sake of time. im only doing wut i need done for my project... which is just wut the camera sees... so i dont really need anything in the back seat or even any detail on the front of the front seats... the way i have my camera setup up it will only see the back of the seats...

holy shit i bet the interior is hard 2 do

[jkool15]

its not that its very hard.... its just very time consuming trying to get everything looking right..... im happy its almost done..... i feel like im behind tho.... i still have soo much to do for my project

[Civic Accord Honda]

Sexy I <3

[jkool15]

guys i need ur opinion.... i dont know which rims to go with... the si(front) or the other ones i made(rear)....

[Legend_master]

Honestly I dont like either, but the SI's look better out of the two. I think you need to curve the bottem half of the door in a little bit. If you look at the 3gee the door is curved in towards the bottme of the car. THe curve starts at the door trim. Just a little info for you.

EDIT: oh and move the wheels out a little so they go to the edge of the fender.

[Civic Accord Honda]

can u make this to be put in grand theft auto sa or need for speed underground 2

[MessyHonda]

cool

[A20A1]

Your smoothing/geomerty aproximation is turned too high, it's deforming parts of your mesh, or you need more polys in those corners above the corner lights... other than that very nice.


I need to work on my model. :)


Your interior is awesome.

[A20A1]

Cool! That was done with that Google software?


Google is harder to model in I'd think, it doesn't let you manipulate verticies the same way other programs do and if you make a quad it wants to stay a quad unless you manually triangulate it, then you can move the points around easier.

[2ndGenGuy]

Oh. :hsugh: I'll take your word for it. ;)

[jschatte]

its easier said than done, the model would have to be converted to .dff, and textures, dummies, and a .col model would have to be made

[A20A1]

Started a new model in Softimage XSI 5.0
http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b351/Wendy_girl/ddce4.jpg
http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b351/Wendy_girl/ddce3.jpg

[jkool15]

sweet are u into animation to?

[A20A1]

yup, and I'd much rather be using Maya that XSI for animation. :)

[A20A1]

So when you say it's not going to meet your teachers expectations do you mean it's more a animation class then modeling?

When it's an animation class you should stick to simple models that can express emotion, and allow you to setup dialog as well.
My Animation teacher was taught by the old Disney animators that did Snowhite and other classics like those. In the first half of the semester most of the time we spend on story and developing the character, character sketches, story boards, and then we model for a very short period. Afterward we spend the other half of the semester animating it and applying sound.
http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b351/Wendy_girl/piggly.jpg

[jkool15]

its an all around class... this is for my final project so the teachers expectations are that everything should be modeled textured and have the lighting perfect .... effects animation everything has to be perfect... and it seems like ur school is better then mine... im very disapointed in mine.... 21,000 for a one year program.... and now they arent even teaching any thing ... i regret it... wasted my moms money.... i was gonna back out a long time ago but my mother told me to stick with it..... i finish at the end of september.... so im just gonna get my stuff done the best i can ... and not stress to make it perfect like the teacher wants

[A20A1]

No it's probably not better because my teacher knows about as much as the student does when it comes to 3d modeling and texturing, but when it comes to 2d animation he's real good, so the emphasis is more on animation then modeling. He showed us how to make quick characters using nurbs and then showed us blend shapes to make expressions. We were using Maya 6 at the time.

The first project was a bouncing ball where we'd make a quick nurbs sphere, and keep the view in the side view. Then we edited the control points to squash and stretch the ball to give the effect of the balls mass squashing as it hits the ground, and stretching as it springs up into the air and then returning to it's original ball shape. Each bounch showed us us how to set timing arcs for animation and when to key frame. Good squash and stretch are in all the early disney animation, and very noticeable in "The Incredibles" so it's a good thing to learn and learing it with a sphere makes it easier because the surface is uniform.


Anywho I made some more for my model

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b351/Wendy_girl/accord_2007new2.jpg
http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b351/Wendy_girl/accord_2007new.jpg


But just keep practicing, remember no one is very good at all aspects of 3d film making.
There are specialties you can get into if you want to be an animator or a modeler or a special effects animator.
.

[A20A1]

I'm at a community college though, and I'm not looking to get a degree, it's not really offered at the CC, but the classes are cheap and I lucked out having an old disney guy working part time as a teacher. It's about 200 or so if you're a resident and maybe $800 for non resident. I forget.

[jkool15]

lmao man i did that same project.... the bouncing ball.... we had to make it jump through a hoop and we hadded sum effects... i'll see if i can find it... then i'll post it...

[A20A1]

That doesn't make sense to me, going through a hoop has nothing to do with learning squash and stretch or timing, but oh well. :)

I sure hope he told you why and how to do the bouncing ball and why you're key framing everything by hand, and didn't just tell you to make a ball, set up gravity, and let a physics engine do the work for you.

Actually check this game out (http://www.racer.nl/). It's a free car simulator game, and allows you to upload your own models.

Shoot I can only export to OBJ, this means I have to go into blender or something and convert it to 3DS then to what ever model file format you need for the game.

[Civic Accord Honda]

oh sanp i wanna play the 3gee in a game

[A18A]

but it would be slow :(

[Civic Accord Honda]

that game is fun i want a 3gee :( all i need is the 3gee file i can make the ini file with the engine and gear ratios and all that shit lol i set the tourqe and hp and gear ratios to 3gee specs and the susp set up to a ae86 :)

[Legend_master]

If you get that to work, it is going to be wicked.

[A20A1]

I haven't a clue how to use zmodeler :(

I installed NFS3 on my computer, dunno if it will run.

Also getting XSI modtool, might not export to what I need it to though. keeping fingers crossed.
it's supposed to export to halflife though, so maybe a halflife 2 3G :)

I might also need XNA Game Studio. but this will allow me to create for XBOX 360 :)

I could have sworn helichopters dropped bombs on me in NFS... maybe I have another NFS CD somehwere thats newer.

[A20A1]

The XSI mod tool is free so give it a try if you want.

Hey if you want a really cool mod for HL2 check out http://www.garrysmod.com/. It worth hours of fun, and you could upload and use the 3G very easily. Also I remeber the bombs from the helicopter, but I dont think that was NFS3

Posts gone wildly offtopic. Still, I think that if skilled persons gather, they can make a 3GeeZ ScreenSaver.
