| Boo. So yeah, been a while since I did anything 3d wise, but decided to try and finish off this one. For those who don't know/care, I drive one of these. Really love the little bugger, so thought it only right to do one for VC. Have some ideas on how I want to do certain bits and bobs, but it's still very much in the early phases. Not sure what the polycount is at the moment, but I'd guess at "less than millions but more than a couple". It will, of course, be blue. :)  ------------------ azz.gouranga.com est. 1998 (I am oldskoolier than joo) |

| Is there really a need to round the front fogs so much though? They look flat on the bumper, you should probably just texture them on. ------------------  STORY OF MY LIFE: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 |

| There are two seated positions for the player - normal and reclined. Reclined mode is activated by the "IS_LOW" flag in the handling.CFG, it's present in both GTA3 and GTA:VC. However, I'm pretty sure that the units used by Zmod and suchlike are a standard computery unit which is shared by the engine R* use.That means if you build in true units, it should end up the right size in-game. An example of this is that the player is about 1.8 units, which if we assume is metres means he should be around six foot in-game. And he is. Or so I've been told... The poylgon structure for this car looks rather messy and the very high density if polygons shows this off quite starkly. The use of the quad style in some places and then a radiating technique in others looks really inefficient. Because the polygon density changes so much across the body, you've got some very weird transition sections where there are vertices going all over the place. Where the rear pillars merge into the rear side windows is such an area. The overall shape and profile looks tidy, the front end is excellent, it's just that it gets all inconsistant and wiggly down the sides. Polygon density is massively too high in many places; a lot of the details you've modeled will be significantly smaller than a pixel when viewed in standard play and so will flick in and out of observability. That's my review as someone who has seen the wireframes of hundreds of the best models made for GTA and as someone who talks to modellers about thier technique. Not a modeller myself. :) ------------------

As for the size problem: I normaly import one of the original cars which is about the same size as the car I want to do, then I load the blueprints into the background and adjust their size by changing the "pixels per unit" property in zmod until their size fits the original GTA car...could be a problem with the C2 though, as there is no ingame car that is about equally sized. Hear hear. o.o The front is rather well-organized but it really starts to get chaotic toward the back, especially on the windows. Vice City. The perfect excuse to put hot pink on anything. :)) ------------------  |
