Re: Nice Micro Cars
Touché... I made a list of items still on the shelves. The list was long and frightening! At least I will not be starting any new projects, but I will gradually work my way up the list and finish them off one at a time.Pip the pest wrote:But; Harm please be a good boy and please finish it and release it before starting any other project

Re: Nice Micro Cars
Yeah I'm just posting to get some complements to boost my ego really:p
I've been trying to get the car ingame, but as I haven't done this in a while I run into the regular stupid issues... I need a little more time to set up all the items as smashables and extra grooves. At least the wheels are in the right position and the bounding box works like a charm :)
btw, are these images really dark on your screens guys? My laptop screen sometimes seems a bit too bright...

Re: Nice Micro Cars
That look's even cooler ingame
Re: Nice Micro Cars
Yeah, that does look great ingame.
Screen is maybe tiny bit dark? Maybe.

Re: Nice Micro Cars
Thanks for all the positive feedback guys. That sure keeps motivation up high. It has been a long time since I last released anything for Carma. Like way back, I ran into problems with the smashables, the bbox, the grooves, the simple model and the physics... but here it finally is;
The 1959 BMW Isetta "Whatta drag"
Thanks to cArmAkAze all my creations can now be found over at Crashockalypse, including this baby. Grab it over here:
My cars page @ Crashocalypse
Besides the car files, the zip also contains the 2012 3ds max file, with a proper setup for my export tool. For those interested, it will show the proper hierarchy setup. I am still working on all the other tools, but the exporter works like a charm. Grab that over here
The reason for shifting my downloads from my old site to Crashocalypse is that I will be revamping my own lair with a new site/blog. The old one has been eating dust since 2009 and I want to set up a more active page showing my activities. But more on that when I get to it.

Re: Nice Micro Cars

Re: Nice Micro Cars
Oh thanks for the headsup maxine. You are right about the suspensions being wrong. I had them correct, but somewhere things must have been screwed again. It is hard to see, because the camera is always behind the wheels, damnit. I will fix it tomorrow
Cool skin by the way! Did you notice the TIFF files still have all photoshop layers in them? This is the cool thing about the tiff format. It can actually behave like a PSD file. Superhandy for working on carmageddon!

Re: Nice Micro Cars
You really outdid yourself Harm. This is a fine piece of work all around.

Re: Nice Micro Cars
I have updated the model with some fixes. The suspension has been corrected. There also seemed to be some mesh errors, where the thin polygons would screw up the model. You can even see the black triangle in the back window in coffey's shots. All fixed now. The new archive can be found over at Crashocalypse again; https://crashocalypse.cwaboard.co.uk/cars ... age1.shtml

Re: Nice Micro Cars
Shouldn't we move this topic to the editing forum?
Great addon Harm, the model seems very well executed. It definitely has a Harm feel to it.
However I'm a bit surprised by the lack of texture/3D details? The shell looks a bit 'bare' if you see what I mean. Especially compared to the reference image. Stuff like chrome strips around the window, the handle, or the design lines on the door and sides +vents. You also seem shy to add bright highlights? Did you maybe rush the release due to lack of time? You even forgot the readme :)
Also there are materials that should be two-sided: the lower body side texture (with 44), the little pipes there, the underside texture and the gray interior texture.
ENB shot too:

Re: Nice Micro Cars
Thanks guys!
The model and the textures are kept 'simple' on purpose. I like the cartoon like look it has now. Adding more detail will push the whole model to more realism which is not what I was aiming for. Driver and car now match pretty well I believe.
A readme would have been nice though, heh.
Not really, but I suppose I could have done more for this release. Anyway, I thought it was complete enough for a release after a long time of not having released anythingToshiba-3 wrote:Did you maybe rush the release due to lack of time?
