Thank you, I'm glad you like it.

<t>*chuckle* the eyes on the car are really tough to get right because the model isn't mapped very conveniently. I'll have to set to and do a proper line-map for my own use so I can see where the actual edges of everything is in relation to the .bmp file. I did try making them look like a...

Right, I've posted a few times about skins and such and tonight I finally organised a few pages where the skins can be downloaded here: http://www.stoneorchid.co.uk/Carmageddon/index.htm If people feel inclined to do so, they're welcome to modify the skins and use them for their own non-profit purpo...

Angyl

Just finished a new skin for the Witch Doctor car using a technique I haven't before. I've seen a few people now use photographs of real cars to skin their models, so I thought I'd give it a try. I'm still battling to get my head around 3D modelling but I think I need a fair amount of time to sit do...

Ever noticed how much the Mazda RX8 looks like it was based on the design of the Eagle? http://www.automedia.com/NewCarBuyersGuide2007/photos/2007/Mazda/RX-8/Sedan/2006_Mazda_RX8_ext_1.jpg http://www.mazda-rx8.info/gallery/pic/2004/mazda_rx-8_a1123180219b739555.jpg It's more convincing in person... ...

Angyl

I'm entirely with you on your opinion with this one. Shame to see an old 140 getting smashed, they're getting to be rare beasties now!

Angyl

Ta muchly, shall browse those links that you very kindly provided.

Angyl

<t>I've just installed Carmageddon 1. I'm not sure what to search for to try and solve the problems I'm having though I have had a read through some of the other C1 technical pages and ended up very confused. I'm not very savvy with computer gubbins, but I know someone who is so I'll liase with him ...

Wilhelm die Polo, a 1986 Volkswagen Polo originally navy blue (blech) but now satin black. http://www.stoneorchid.co.uk/artonline/projectpolo/build/VW0088.jpg I found the pictures for the online gallery and reuploaded it, had forgotten I'd taken it down: http://www.stoneorchid.co.uk/artonline/projec...

Angyl

Now standing me at 7 hours and 35 minutes work (good gods that's a lot of hours!) I've amended some details - cab, nose, paint on the Meddler and the rear arch, roof, rear wheel and bumper spikes on the Eagle - and added rough outlines of interiors (no drivers yet) and am happier with it. In additio...

Angyl

<r>I'm yet to play GTA IV but I doubt I shall in all honesty. The reports I've seen and heard from those that have played it are in the majority of a game I wouldn't enjoy. The thing I love about Carmageddon is that you don't leave the car. The thing I hate about GTA - except for annoying...

Angyl

But look, they tried to make it sexy... http://www.channel4.com/4car/media/classics/austin-allegro/03-large/allegro-f3q-white-f.jpg This is the way of most British Leyland creations though. http://www.roadtransport.com/blogs/truck-and-van-blog/Sherpa.jpg Way back in the day they were thinking of how...

Angyl

<t>First of all, thank you, always good for the ego to get a comment like yours. Spent some time looking at old Eagles and couldn't believe I'd forgotten the C1 grille, I just exaggerated it somewhat and it looks fun. I'm still having trouble with the rear wheels. I think the r...

Angyl

<t>So, I successfully download CarEd and get to work trying to understand it. Queue the mountaineering gear for the learning cliff I encounter. I've had a read through Maxine's tutorial and had a bit of a search to see if there's anything here to help, but I'm not entirely sure what to se...

Angyl

I spent a few more hours on the sketch to get it moving along. I think I've mostly sorted out the perspective issues and I've come up with a few more things. We have the following: Wheelie, the tiny one-seat drag car (just been clobbered). Meddler, a 1960s style coach with offset cab and armour plat...

Angyl

<t>I appear to have bought Carmageddon 1 and Carmageddon 2, both original games, for £8.00 (including postage!) on eBay. This is good because it means I have proper copies now, which is nice. I had a rather unpleasant ex who decided I wasn't allowed to play Carmageddon 1 some years ago an...

Angyl

Thank you. I was after something a lot more hard-lined than the usual Eagle. I'm redrawing it right now too to try and fix the back end, so expect a sketch update very soon.

Angyl

Okay, yes, that makes sense. In my head I was trying to figure out how it was bent to the right until I realised some countries put the steering wheel on the wrong side :P

Angyl

<t>Ah yes, I remember seeing this one a while ago, always reminded me a little of the Chevrolet Corvair Corsa but did look very much the part. I think I have to tinker with the design of my concept somewhat. I'm seeing bits that I can smooth out and yes, losing the exhaust tips would help...

Angyl

That's mainly the intention, to steal styling queues from various Eagles - the spiked spoiler, the roof blade - and try and make a new Eagle that's different but not unrecognisabley dissimilar. That said, I'm still not happy with it.

Angyl

<t>Well I took inspiration from the general look of all the Eagles but tried not to copy them directly. I figure that Max would go through a fair few of them, you see. So it's suppose to hint at it... still not entirely happy with the design though. I see what you mean about the blade bei...

Angyl

Just lately I've been getting all sorts of ideas for Carmageddon artwork. However, I do have a tough time drawing cars since I'm far better with organic forms. Not to worry, I put pencil to paper earlier today and started work on a big A3 piece featuring a concept of the Eagle that I'm still not 100...

Angyl

The Triumph does look rather like it borrowed a few lines from the gargantuan Invicta now you mention it, never noticed that before. Good old golden era American styling, nothing like it will ever be seen again, and in some instances that's a good thing (see: Ford Edsel).

Angyl

<t>Ah, the good old Austin Metro. I'm so glad that's died a death! There was a period - okay, _all_ of - British Leyland's history where the workers were on strike, cars were shoddily built and poorly designed but, in their own way, I sort of like them anyway. Remember such atr...

Angyl

Excellent thank you for the link. I'd somehow missed that site!

Angyl

<t>The banger racing cars were good models for what they were, but they're not as much fun as full glass-smashing, chrome-bending models. I'm not sure what you like in vehicles, but I find it odd that you regard British cars as 'snooty' and that you dismiss them in such an offhand way. Th...

Angyl

You know, you don't see many good British bangers for Carmageddon. Plenty of French, American and Soviet cars, but nearly no British tin out there. Here's a list of stuff that should appear. Routemaster bus (a.k.a. Red London Bus) - If this hit you, you'd know about it. Be aware that they're more st...

Angyl

<t>So, I was thinking today while playing Carmageddon and wondered if anyone else does this. I've got rid of the stock Carmageddon cars and replaced them with myriad wonderful creations by the other modellers out there, I just don't have the time to make them myself. I don't use the cheat...

Angyl

<t>I'll agree with all your points since they annoy me too. One thing that's really frustrating is the El Morte Desert races where you all start in a grid but no matter what vehicle you're in, the AI cars just seem to bully you into submission and it's frustrating as all hell. I hate was...

If you want a source of car modifying monstrosities you need CARBAGE: http://www.topgear.com/content/timetobu ... ages/0392/

Excellent British site narrated by Jeremy Clarkson of Top Gear fame.

Angyl

Mwaha! Nice choice of colours and a nifteh bit of work!

Not too annoyed at me altering the sketch you coloured, I hope

Angyl

Okay, updated the image with a few more views and turned it into a 2-door. Looks better now, did a few tweaks to the main image too so that it doesn't look quite so bad. Would've edited the post to reflect this but apparently the alloted time permitted for editing has expired, so poot.

Angyl

I'm curious, what do you mean by the term 'floater'?

I hope to get more fantastical motors like this one doodled up, not based on specific models but inspired by specific automotive eras, they're a lot of fun

Angyl

I improved that piddly little sketch I did a while ago and came up with this:

I've got some bits and pieces to fix on it and I'm not sure I like it looking so short and high, but it's a start. Maybe I should make it a 2-door?

Angyl

I really need to make time for some proper Carmageddon artwork but probably shan't get chance until next year while I work through my orders... in the meantime, here's a ped-stabbing cruiser inspired by the streamlined coachbuilt cars of the 1930s and 1940s, hopefully I'll get an opportunity to draw...
