Since there is currently no finished z for Beamng, I have decided I will attempt to make one. I will be making a stock version first, and later add swappable parts, and maybe a rusty version (as I am convinced this is the z's natural form). I am a beginner to blender so this project will definitely take a very, very long time. If anyone has any tips for me it would be greatly appreciated. My 78 280z
Im no modder, but don't overwhelm yourself. Stick with a stock version first. Once you have that to a place you like it, then add to it. That and I kinda want to see this finished no matter how long it takes. Smashy smashy!
Start with making props like traffic cones or fruit stands. They're much quicker and easier to make than a car and it allows you to experiment. Most people find themselves stuck in the modelling phase and never even touch the jbeam portion, which is objectively more difficult. Yes, that's right: modelling and texturing is the easy part.
That is not how you model... If you keep going you'll soon realize that your'e stuck. Try looking up a blender tutorial for a coffee cup, that's always a good place to start.
how else am I supposed to do it? Ive got it mirrored so it does the same on each side. Im really confused now
It looks like you've started modeling from a cube... The body is supposed to be flat so you can add details later. The shape looks okay but you'll need to rework a lotttttt later on.
okay thank you guys, Ive got a quick question do I need to build it using triangles for the future j beam or am I just crazy?
I absolutely love the Datsun 280Z and ZX. I was thinking of shooting for an 80's ZX and swapping the engine for an N/A RB25 with preparations for a turbocharger, as my next car. 80's sports cars are great.
yeah my bro has a zx so thats probly what I'll do next if I can successfully make the z and yeah I probly should start with a prop or something but thats not how I roll.
