Forget about polycounts then, new car comming soon...
Forget about polycounts then, new car comming soon...
Heres my latest effort, a Datsun 200L (70's shitbox) tried to keep to polys down on this one, its current count is just under 3000, needs a bit of work but will be released soon, what you think?

Re: Forget about polycounts then, new car comming soon...
Looks good, but the front end could use some more polys around the headlights.
3000 isn't low poly... man, the Hard_Truck is like 3600, and back when Boose modeled it everybody was like "DUDE, that's some hi-poly stuff"
So um.... yeah, sacrifice a few hundred polys for some better front-end de-flat-ifying and it'd be nif-t.

Re: Forget about polycounts then, new car comming soon...

Yes! More late '70s/early '80s jap boxes is what we need!
I love the Crown. This one looks even better!
Oh, and 3000 polys IS low-poly for a full-blown car....it just looks great, though.

Re: Forget about polycounts then, new car comming soon...
Nice car. 3000 polys isn't lowpoly. You want to see low poly, this is low poly:
That's about 800-900 polys.

Re: Forget about polycounts then, new car comming soon...
Dammit, 3000 is HIGH POLYGON COUNT, bare with it. It was my mistake to release a 3200 (not 3600, Chimp) faces hard truck, don't put it up as an example
But heck, 3000-3500 polys is cool with me afterall, and damn that thing Freddy made looks slick! Coolness!

That thing looks like it is as smooth as ice. It's really sweet looking.
Re: Forget about polycounts then, new car comming soon...
Well regardless of the polycount of this car, I don't think anyone should have any performance problems with this one, no texture is above 128x128 and not many have been used, it runs silk smooth on my machine, where some cars slow it down. Thing is I know 3000 is not 'low' but compared to the 6-7k+ cars which have been released lately it is, I too have been guilty with that riced crown, which was 6k, looking back it was too high, but I got a bit carried away with that car. Just wanted to make a car which still looks good without using loads of polys, I think 3000 is about right, any lower and cars can start to look a bit simple.

Re: Forget about polycounts then, new car comming soon...
3000, 4000 polys ant hig at all, considering that my 2 first relises (one will come VERY soon) contain hrmmm 9800 to 9900 (the smaller offroad pickup, and the other one contains 7800-7900 polys on the larger "thing", They run smoothly on my comp and yes i have a crapy graf card, due to the small size of the skins)
BTW the reson that the 800-900 poly car above that dodge roadmaster (i dont know if that is the real name) is proly cuz it donsnt seem to have any engine (300-1000 poly) or any interior (witch can contain several thousan of polys) But what game is the car 2, dont recon the model nor the game
(and would it be possible to have a look at the model i have 3dsm and cared) i guess the car woud have about 4000 polys if it had a interior
BTW almost forgott Freddy that car looks to nead some more polys on the frontm otherwise it seems to be good enough for mee

Re: Forget about polycounts then, new car comming soon...
Datsun is great indeed, but physics lacks some action, so it's not that fun with that wooden suspension. And i think turning angle should be a bit bigger. I luved the model tho! Very accurate, your style!
Re: Forget about polycounts then, new car comming soon...
Yeah maybe this physics do need some tweaking but having never driven a car like this I don't know how they handle, so I just had a guess, I think it handles ok, but whether it is realistic I dunno, glad you like the model
Re: Forget about polycounts then, new car comming soon...
Well, when if don't know how the vehicle should handle i give it a shot to the fun factor, not to realism.
Re: Forget about polycounts then, new car comming soon...
Well feel free to have ago yourself......

Re: Forget about polycounts then, new car comming soon...
querty who made that shiny red wagon? i want to mash the shit outta it! where can i get it!
Re: Forget about polycounts then, new car comming soon...
boose: how on earth did you take multiple screen shots like that all at the same time
if you were in software mode i would understand how, but in hardware i though you can just use print screen and paste it somewhere after

Re: Forget about polycounts then, new car comming soon...
My red Caprice is for Midtown Madness 1. I made it in 3DSM. It doesn't have an engine or interior. It currently has about 5 256 X 256 texs mapped to it.
Re: Forget about polycounts then, new car comming soon...
yea i know.. i could do it if i can actually get outta carma after opening it, i donnt know how to minimize carma and open photoshop and paste the shot, maximize carma, print screen etc.. the only way i know how to get outta carma while its playing is if someone sends you an IM on aim or something hehe
Re: Forget about polycounts then, new car comming soon...
oh cool querty.. thats why its so low polyied, you can make stuff like that for C2.. like C2 scientists golf..
are all the cars like that set up in midtown madness? i think i played the demo of that game years ago and didnt really like it, as the cars werent trashable

Re: Forget about polycounts then, new car comming soon...
Ha! Never thought that picture would involve that much talk... anyways, it was done the following way (you guessed it all right).
1) stop the replay at certain point
1.1) move the "manual" camera to the angle you want (arrows to zoom in and out and CNTRL+arrows to move camera up and down)
2) ALT+PrintScreen
3) ALT+TAB (to change between applications, so this way i can get back to my desktop with carma 2 running in the background)
4) and paste the thing in to Photoshop
5) get back to Carma 2 with ALT+TAB again (or just click it at the toolbar)
6) repeat untill you're satisfied with the amount of different screenies.
I hope that explains it. Nothing special really.

Re: Forget about polycounts then, new car comming soon...
I wasn't talking to you ADR, you decide on your own models and leave me well alone now. You have no respect for me, neither will i have respect for you. Or you don't find that right?

Re: Forget about polycounts then, new car comming soon...
Boose, this is more simple, don't you think:
-Shift+D takes a screenshot, and saves it as BMP-file in data-folder (it creates a new file with each click)
-Then you open the files in Photoshop/PSP/whatever.
ALT+TAB doesn't even work for me, it just says: "Task switched, running in background". Game doesn't even pause, the car continues its going, until I ALT+TAB "back" to the game. At least in Hardware-mode. (Glide) What's your renderer?

Re: Forget about polycounts then, new car comming soon...
shift + D only works in software mode.. at least for me, in hardware i just get blackness.
the alt+tab thing works for me though, so thanks boose!

Re: Forget about polycounts then, new car comming soon...
Glide is way different from D3D. And since i use D3D i get black shots when press Shift+D as well, so that is my way.
Re: Forget about polycounts then, new car comming soon...
The cars are around 600-1200 polys on average. Some have gotten higher poly cars in. Most of them don't have interiors or 3D stuff. The highest poly car ever made was like a 2003 Dodge Ram Hemi @ 2600 polys.autopilot:

The cars don't have damage modelling, they use damage textures. One damage texture for each regular texture. One tex for side, one tex for side damage, etc.
I dunno how to make cars for Carma. I d/led Plaything once and it crashes every time i clicked it.

well,probablecuz MM1 dosnt have a damage (game)engine that is as advanced as carma2`s
i doubt there arent many games that has as advanced smash system as C2 (i doubt TDR)
and it also might be cuz microsoft made MM1
they arent known for having advanced programing in their games
