Thanks! I will say however, the jbeam right now is complete garbage (image below) since I'm still using an only slightly modified jbeam from stock, and I'm still trying to work out the texture situation. This whole thing has been a learning experience for me.
feel free to criticize me for this observation but i'm getting 90's holden vibes here (not by much tho)
What exactly is going on with that, anyway? It doesn't look like the doors or door windows were modified (or needed to be), so why theyre messed up is beyond me. What kind of material errors are popping up in console?
It's just some overlapping names of materials that's confusing the game. I'm working on fixing it right now.
Currently, I still have no idea what I'm doing. Given more time to mess with it, I bet I could figure it out (it's how I figured out the textures), but I'd appreciate your help/advice, as am quite new to this.
Great job so far, But if I had to offer any constructive input it would be to make the back quarter window round off at the top and make the end of the cab 'slide' into the bed area (Similar to the '77 - '87 Elcamino). The only other thing I'd like to see is an 8-foot bed variant with HD suspension parts and a big 'ol high displacement engine (Perhaps dubbed the Grand Lariat?). As for UVs, I can do all the tedious texture positioning for you but you'll have to re-compile my finished product for BeamNG since whenever I try it just becomes a weird spinny mess.
It seems due to mirroring of my mesh, I inadvertently copied some faces over each-other. It should be easy enough to fix I think. The thing I'm more confused about is the lack of smoothing. I have no idea what is causing that.
Feel free to make a minivan out of that thing, that's where the first GM minivan came from. Chevrolet Lumina platform was a revised version of the Celebrity/Cierra/Century platform (as per wiki). Lumina APV / Trans Sport / Silhouette was the first car-frame minivan from GM, which was revised in 1997 to look like mainstream minivans like the kind from Chrysler / Ford / Import brands. I owned a 98 Trans Sport, it was nice, last a long time, was pretty safe but not in front-end impacts (!!!). Area forward of the A-pillar was too strong, so between A-B pillar crumpled. I've been trying to get people to make a minivan for a while now. Nevertheless, the mod looks pretty nice.
Currently just small stuff like uv mapping the bottom of the car, and small modifications to the jbeam. I'd been able to work on it quite a bit over my spring break from school, but now that I'm back in school, I've been pretty busy, especially with final exams coming up, and all the studying and review that goes with them. It's very likely I'll be able to get at least a decent amount of work done on this car this weekend. I'll keep everyone posted.
It reminds me a lot of a Subaru Brat, mainly because of the the taillights and the rollbar. Great work.
I realized I haven't posted up-to-date pictures to this thread in a while (I've been posting them to development screenshots), so are some photos of an off-road ute in my favorite color.
amazing. and for those interested. and maybe for use in the mod: AdamB made a RWD mod for the legran: https://beamng.com/resources/rwd-bruckell-legran.1700/
He got a point there. also what you showed off there looks amazing. if you want i can adapt your ute to become electrified.
