I don't see the problem.

Is that the Princess Diana crash site? Even if it is just a generic tunnel, that's what comes to mind for me.

 

The tunnel from GTA3 immediately came to mind for me but a quick google shows that my memory is fairly naff.

 

UI looks cool Tdev. My OCD kinda kills me that the turn signal icons aren't at the same height lol. I still kinda prefer the ultra-sciency-clean one we have currently to be honest It's very neat and fits well with the rest of the UI

That's gonna be fun with that jet, or a uhh... motorhome

Texture that thing with NDo & DDo Could put incredible detail into it.
Speaking of motorhomes. This thing is still being worked on...

 

@myth, is that the basic skeleton or is that going to be the final wireframe? I ask because doesnt there have to be more edgeloops for it to deform properly? Looks very blocky, not sure if you are going to add more loops to rectify that? Looks great btw, really coming along great.

 

I don't have a super computer yet, and I'm sure there are a lot of people who don't too. I'm currently using a two year old mid-range multimedia laptop. So my computer struggles with one T-Series. My computer would beg for mercy if I tried to load 3 T-75's.

For the sake of on-topicness:

Geometry corrections are still being done. (I haven't taken any other screenshots for comparison.)

 

@Above: E46 GTR? Lookin cool. EDIT: oh wait, it says it in the top right, lol.

The wireframe of the basic shape is going to be both the final wireframe and the skeleton. I still need to cut edges into all the detail parts so they correspond with the rest of the body/skeleton.

It might look really blocky, but these things are 10 meters long, so filling it completely with the node density that the passenger cars have would just lag everyones computer to death. Plus, they are made out of some type of fiberglass and alluminium and wood and such. When they get damaged, they usually just break pieces off and/or split apart at the seams, rather than crumple like a car. Therefore they don't really need many nodes or edgeloops to deform properly, as can be seen here(old pic by the way):


On top of that, Gabes boxvan has about the same node density for the walls/roof, and the van he's made is made out of roughly the same sort of materials as these RVs.

If I end up with something that doesn't work like I think it should, I'll reconsider adding more nodes though

 

good to know, I was almost figuring that it was going to be somewhat final since you are right, these dont have "crumple zones" so they would just bash inward, snap pieces off and not generally deform like a car, which is desirable in such a vehicle.

but that text doh lol

you going to make a custom texture and all of that? (This is def my most anticipated vehicle...I can almost imagine it treating my slugtop like a friend and giving me somewhat friendly FPS...cant wait)

Mythbuster, if you need blueprints. This thing always sits here.

 

Yes I am going to do that the texture in the pic is temporary just to visualize it a bit more

Yo man, is there any chance you can measure that RV? I just need the width of the basic bodyshell, the height from the ground to the "sill", and height from the sill to the roof? The length doesn't matter because that's a different wheelbase model


Also, trackwidth(width, measured from center of left front tire to center of the right front), same on the rear outer tires.


And maybe pics from as many details as you can so I can use them for texturing? Some close-ups of the head and taillights perhaps? A perfect side-on photo of the front and rear wheels?


I'd be so grateful if you could even get me any of those things. Finding information and good pictures of these RVs is incredibly hard!

 

Are any of these shot usefull ??

 

Oh something about that door makes me think I will end up in the basement

 

i coulndt find a winnabago one

 

So smooth...gotta love normal maps

 

The missing panels and gaps in the frame for the lights make it look like a Skyline R34 for some reason.

I genuinely thought it was one until I saw the Honda engine, lol.

JESSE WE NEED TO COOK

 

Working on a little something.

Also is there a way to make it so the chains moves without making every single on of them a different object?
And is it possible to make it attach to the bumper and the hood?

 

You could try to use two nodes per link or per multiple links (to get better performance). After which you would allow each beam to rotate freely around the nodes, if that's possible.

It looks cool too by-the-way.

 

just make a string of beams, one node per chainlink
