Looks nice.  I have issues modeling realistic/non-blocky looking cars myself.  How on-grid are your vertices?  That's the issue I've always had - I always want to keep everything on-grid, but things never look realistic enough.

And btw, steering wheel animation are very easy.  I forget where I learned it, but it takes me no more than ten seconds to set up an animation for the steering wheel.  When you get there, I do suggest you use the IPO animation editor instead of action editor, especially if the steering wheel is angled up like in real life.

If you don't already have this reference, I suggest you use it.  I use it all the time.  It has the description for the steering wheel and brakelight animations.
This will be useful, thanks. :o

As for your question, I'll answer it, as OP is currently snoring his head off (no wait - he stopped). Anyway, the vertices aren't lined up to the grid at all. He paid zero attention to that part, modeling it completely image-based.

Ooh, that's really helpful, thanks.

Yah, Bluetooth is right. They're not on grid at all.

Hm that looks like a GTA 5 car for some reason, and that's not bad at all!

thanks, means a lot coming from you!

=D

Alright, update time!

Basically redid everything I did yesterday, and the end result as that the model looks much smoother and cleaner. I also made the steering wheel, Bengs logo, and put a C300 symbol on the rear!

Pictures!


Interior shot! Much overdue. It's rather bland, so I'm going to add more buttons and a gear stick probably.


Only glitches at the moment are that model is not casting shadows. And yes I'm exporting as triangle strips.

Why does the right side of the dashboard look weird?

i really don't mean to rain on your parade but i don't think blockland needs any more car vehicles

like almost all the vehicles released recently are normal civilian cars

Bullstuff. We need normal Civilian cars, all the civilian cars are old and suck with physics. Not many are the best, Keep adding more civi cars Georges..

EDIT: Are you also using Jeep physics on this? Or having someone make them for you? This car will be used alot if it doesn't use jeep physics..

Current beta versions use jeep physics, but probably the last thing to do before release is to edit the scripts  values to have my own custom physics.

Old? Um no the recent cars people released are civilian ones and they are new.

You should add CVS to make body, hood, trunk, roof, bumpers, and interior different colours. Also rather than making a C63 variant, make the C63 parts as CVS parts.

I plan  on making the body with CVS so you can change colors. I'm still going to make a C63 varient because the model isn't really set up well to allow interchangeable parts. I hope do actual CVS on my next car though.

you realize you are replying to a biased opinion with your own biased opinion

that doesn't usually work out

(sorry for being a bit off topic)

it's probably just the angle

I still cannot figure out why it's not casting a darn shadow. This is really bugging me. >:(
