WIP Beta released Civetta Bolide - VR38 swapped 5.0

Currently before making any progress into making an Automation mod that behaves like a BeamNG vehicle (ex. having multiple parts and nodes), I must be able to swap engines. So for now I am trying to follow the thread about engine swaps (Link:https://www.beamng.com/threads/tutorial-how-to-do-engine-swaps-with-pictures.56000/ ), however when I tried to import the .dae file of the Nissan GT-R (as well as the Mazda RX-7) mod (sorry can only found in Russian sites), Blender suddenly said "parsing error" stuff, can any experienced lads help me out? If I truly can't swap engine models in my next BeamNG mod I might have to switch other engines....

Sorry I am a beginner in Blender

I think that to mitigate this issue, you would need to use an older Blender version, like 2.79

 

Will take notes.

 

I can help you. Mind sending the dae?

 

Some official daes do this too. Find an online converter and convert the dae to obj and import the obj into blender. Make sure to check the "Split by Group" box when importing.

 

Sure, here is the dae for the Super (Civetta Bolide) and the Nissan GT-R

@umustbeloggedintododat for the bolide:

Also can you help me about the materials one as well as the sounds too?

 

use 2.79
(ignore the weird hot wheels car thing, I was using that for testing)

 

I used 2.79 and it managed to load up, but when I tried to load the engine there is simply no transmission or even the engine model. I pmed you on convo.

 

For anyone to reference my situation is, here is the pic for proof



@umustbeloggedintododat PM me in the convo to help me fix the car please. When I release the working mod along with the enhanced radiator as well as ESC and ABS, I will make sure to tag you to give you massive credit to help me fixing the files.

 

The engine (without model of course) would also spit some flames in the front part instead of the rear, anyone having ideas?

I plan to release it as a config along with ESC as well as an upgraded radiator when the model and transmission are working.

 

So recently, I somehow managed to get the engine and transmission to work together in the Bolide and I managed to around 207 mph for top speed. However the engine model just would not appear in the mid engine bay of the Bolide. This mod here is a WIP and has ZERO driver assistances (drive at your own risk, massive wheelspin warning). If anyone here could make the engine model spawn in the Bolide's mid engine bay, I will release the mod on Resources along with a set of driver assistance as well as giving credit to the ones that helped me.

@umustbeloggedintododat Any Ideas regarding the issue of the engine model itself not spawning?

 

Regarding 7. and 9., the only reason why I did reuse the GTR engine from a Russian site was to avoid remodelling the engine in Blender since I have like no experience in Blender. The other parts we could make a convo to work on that. I could make a folder to unzip the file to fox the issues.

Tbh you are correct since I have little experience on the beamng content creation after being done with Automation mods. The VR38 Bolide is a practice for me to make a similiar Automation bodied (but with BeamNG physics and deformation) like the Gavril Vertex one.

In the original post I said I followed this guide here so I have no experience with engine model swaps.

Alright I am currently trying on a different route using the vanilla's midsize V6 with some modifications like the intake manifold, the model manages to spawn in but the model just shown an orange "NO TEXTURE" similar like this.



The texture files I used in the material files are the midsize engine texture files btw. If you can fix it I will send the file to you.

@DaddelZeit Thoughts? I used the method when fixing the Bruckell Bastion V10 gray textures (which for the Bastion it worked) on the WIP VR38 Bolide, however it turned in the image above like that. Any suggestions where the material file went wrong?

 

No Texture: yellow
No Material: orange
You're using a for the vehicle nonexistent material, for the materials saved in common you can do so but not for vehicle specific materials.
Please check if the material you applied in blender actually exists in-game for specifically the bolide.

 

Here are the Blender engine model pic, I will dm you the mod file (the engine does work as I have said before but the textures are like the orange "NO MATERIAL" ones)

 

So far the engine model is good using @DaddelZeit 's wonderful help. However I want to include the AWD system into the mod, so people can feel the VR38 swap much better without worrying losing control as AWD is much easier to handle than RWD.

Here is the engine model preview:
