Yeah. I really don't care if it looks "Blocko" or not. He did a excellent job modeling this and I'd love to use this for drifting. This looks like one of the Vehicles from Initial  D series. No joke.

-snip-

I still think you could make it fit more into the style of the game, take a look at other blockland cars for example, it looks like a port to me

It is the subaru from this site. All I did was import the actual car into blender, and did a complete new model with a major butt-load less detail, re-faced it due to it looking "A tad bit HD", and made it blocko the best I could by doing so. I've put a lot of time in this, and I'm absolutely not sure now where the hell to update it to make it more "Bloko"!

The thing is, Blockland have it's model style of low poly flat shaded (with certain parts smooth shaded to remove the triangulation) models, an entire smooth shaded high detailed model would not fit into the game well, for example, port a car into the game

You're right on this, and that's what I've did. Most of the whole car is flat shaded, and a few bits of this car is smooth to make it not look stupid in the render (Seriously this is a percaussion/test. I have no freaking clue on how it's going to turn out in-game.), but once again: This is not a port for blockland. I've taken the model from the site you've gave me, put it in blender and made a less "HD" type of model.

-snip-
Yeah... I think you got my point, I mean this subaru model looks excellent and very well made, but I'm really sure it won't fit for Blockland unless he makes a blocko representation of it which we do with vehicles and other add-ons alike, and I'm really sure I've heard that high poly models like this can conflict with the game's engine and perfomance

But here's the thing, it's absolutely not like that high-poly Peugeot. It may not look completely stupid when it's smooth shaded everywhere, but I only smoothed it in a few spots it needed to be in.

Well, thanks to all that have voted on what should be the Vortex. I would like to announce that:

You should reduce the size of the rims, it looks like one of those entrepreneur ed big rims you might see in some cars

Better?

If you think 16 is too much then try 12

Oh no no no no, 16 looks good as I'm modeling it.

If you are making a round car then you should make the wheels round too. Octagonal wheels with a hi-poly body won't work too nice. Even the default Jeep's wheel is a circle with 16 sides.

The wheels here have an 8 vertice radius. You want me to double that to 16 vertices?

EDIT: Looking at the circle I've added into blender with 16 vertices doesn't look bad. So I'll take your word for it and remodel with a 16-vertice radius.

UPDATE:

Due to taking all of your guy's advice and opinions, here's the Subaru if it's the vortex! It'll soon be the official vortex due to having the Subaru in the lead by 6 points.

Note: The windshields are not transparent due to a non-implemented interior.

As you can see in this photo here, I've taken Filipe's advice of making it more "Bloko", by re-facing some parts of the car. Also, I've had smooth shading on some parts of the vehicle (the front bumper for example), to reduce renders making it look stupid (I have no clue how it's going to turn out in-game). Second, I had to change the color of the car ATM since the new yellow wheels have been implemented. Modifications to the front blinkers have been implemented by adding a little black light border thing.



Since none of you have seen the back of this in the first place, I've decided to also render the back side. Earlier, this side was detailed and less bloko. I did the same thing to the back here as well.

yes

other stuff idk I'm dumb

Alright since this is the case, where and what in your guy's opinion needs a re-face job?

EDIT: I've already had an idea, and it's done.

That's nice but you should try to make it more "blocko"

Not sure how it could be possible. Well actually to start off, what do you mean by "more bloko"? Should I delete some verticies and then re-face the car making it less "round" or whatever the word is I'm looking for? BC What I did was take a model from what you advised me to do, and then did a 3d trace of it (like a remodel of it w/ less "detail" and "HD" stuff).

EDIT: If this is the case, where in the car should I start?

Alright, if the vortex winner is the subaru, get ready to see this in game.

Download Zmodeler, open the model, and then export it as any file that is compatible wtih blender

Alright thanks man!

Wait it's in a z3d model format that I somewhat can't seem to open in blender.

I'd also suggest you to use car models from this as well
http://slg.serv1.free.fr/forza3_cars4.html
It could help you with the design and scale of the car

Ok, thanks for the advice!

look nice

Yea could've been better if I used blueprints of the car, I apparently used this photo, and this photo to model the whole car.

Oh wow, the Marussia B2 and the Subaru is in the lead!
