This is my first real venture into the world of 3D moddelin. Ok so i tried a festa a while back... Lets face it, it was shite...
 
Anywho, this is far more like it.  I've got it ingame but its just a shell and it needs wheels. I'll post more shots tomorrow. The mesh is a mess to be honest but it can be pushed and pulled to some non-chaos at some point. I aim to make wheels, sound system and cerb can add some handling to his portfolio  :D

Enough waffle, heres the pic. Im not after too much realism here, just wanna capture the car...

Hmmm, front looks abit flat, or is it supposed to be like that, I'm not too familiar with the lupo.

Where are the lights and stuff, I dont understand why people seem to build everything around the lights but not them.

It looks like you have made one of the classic mistakes that people new to modeling do, which is detach parts early, I did it on my first few cars, it kinda screws up your normals, it should usually be the last thing to do.

A tip about mirroring, when you mirror it and have both sides, unite them, then in user view go along the whole line of where the two sides connect and unite each set of vertices that would be in the same place but are seperate. this should fix the normals which creates that ugly weird line down the middle of the car.

Anyway hope i helped, Cant wait to see this decked out. it's "Hot Hatch" time :)

:)) Never knew i could unite verticies!!! That'll chean it up no end!!! Oh shit... Id have to do both sides... its all detatched cos i made an error. Im not too good at this but what the hey... Gonna sort out those verts and then sort out some normals. I left the lights cos i dunno how 3D i wanna make em. I'll just texture thm for now, first model and all...

Also i wanted to do the bumpers seperately so that i can get the horizontal panels in properly.

Thanks for the help Busted. I'll posr more pic tonight!

Yeah, just texture them, I've only just sstarted trying 3D lights. but it Isn't that hard. Depending on what the lights are like, i just stuck in a couple of cylinders as projectors.

Anyway I've dont more on my car, i'm starting to make it look how i want, not how it is in real life. So i've made the lights even more aggresive and some general rounding of the body. I'm think of doing some skyline-style rear lights, but maybe i should just make a skyline as my next car, rather than mutilating this one  :))

Anyway, I'm waiting to see these new pics :)

I'll get it more rounded now because most of the verts round the front are detatched and make it a pigs arse to mess with so im happy i know i can sort it. That should smooth off those normals a bit then i'll do the rest after i've re-attatched all the parts again!

Not too much effort! Hehe. I think its gonna work and look good though. I dunno how the hell to get an interior in there but thats not relevant yet.

Thanks for your help mate.

Agressive is good. You can always relese it as a ricer version and work back sometime if you get bored to make the stock version. I've done no work yet, Im at college at the mo. At about 6:00 on these boards i might have sommit to show. Hopefully smooth, shiney and curved. Im lookin at pics now and it is quite flat but im not for realism and id prefer more curves.

Im goin for the Lupo GTI look. I just made em big for ease of modeling as i was trying to round off the wings. I'll put up a more tidy model tonight. Possibly some ingame if i can be arsed detatching it all again. I need some rims too. I'll have a go at them too. Its got some already ingame. Really small tho! Hehe. I'll be making a few riced versions but the sound system is gonna be in all versions.

heh, this was on my shortlist of cars to make next. Not to worry, saved me the effort (assuming it turns out nice lol).

It's looking good, a little shakey in places but most of mine are and I've had more practice ;)

I await the new pics with bated breath..

    Search through that area and you'll find loads of quality scratch-mades...and a few shoddy coversions! :D

    As for this car, it's certainly a good call for a practice project type deal.  Have you had much 3D experience of modeling before?  All I've had is using J25! :p

    Nothing before cerb, nothing before. But i grasp things quickly and get into them. Heres an update. I can't really do much more as the mesh isn't too pretty but its a first model and next scratch i can do it properly from the start! Hehe.

    Im familiar with GTA forums. Seen all the good and bad, thats what made me want to make my own. Spent ages lookin for the right car to do too. Im gonna start filling out the inside of the car and then think about an interior. It runs ingame but its extremely bright.

    Any more tips or anything?

    very nice, especially for a first car!

    i think the corners of the glass (windscreen, rear window, etc..) could do with rounding a little

    Update:
    http://gtasector.gorzek.com/uploadedsigs/uploads/lupo3.jpg

    Got it in game. Im begining to model inside the car. No 3D engine, im not that brave! Stuck a couple of textures on too. The wheels are borrowed from the Nismo GTR by Majestic i think. It uses wheel mod and i wanted to see if it works. I will try make my own wheels or find some later. One car i installed added this reflection image and its shit. How do i take it out? Does anyone have the file to replace?

    need to replace reflection01 in particle.txd in your models directory, iirc.

    one thing I always hate about putting a car in game is it might look gorgeous in zm, but until the normals are finished it looks like it's been hammered :(

    oh and I think the wheels are taking the "rocket powered rollerskate" moniker a little to extremes ;-)

    Yes, thats it. Thanks Azz. Best find the original now... Eek...

    The best thing is it replaces the Banshee due to two door, broken .img file shenanigans. So it flys like a rocked powered rollerskate too! Esp on the sanfransisco syle bumps in portland  :D

    mmm... normals... God on't wants to think bout those... Eek!

    Right, the body textures... How do i do them? Should i shade a side shape in photoshop and then fit it to the parts or should i use a square type gradient and map that to the car. I always find there is a dodgy kink between the parts, top and side and door and side etc...

    Any tips on how i should go about it anyone? Thanks

    Dup?
