This is the thread for any and all upcoming mods from me, decided to reformat the thread to make it easier to insert my other projects if needed. ALL MODS: Spoiler: Hirochi RH14Z "Ever thought the television looked boring? Think twice, with our brand new range of TVs at Hirochi Electronics!" The Hirochi RH14Z is a 70s woodgrain CRT TV, inspired by the Mitsubishi TVs of the time. Before you ask, the name intentionally means nothing. This TV will feature: - Simplified Cathode-ray tube, and extra internals such as a extra PCB and generic shapes around it - TV stand with ports - Brand new branding to be somewhat period correct To-do/WIP: New materials/textures Finishing the details on the TV and internals New branding New J-beam Putting the model in-game Lastly, here's some current progress photos: Spoiler: Bolide GT Parts To be filled in... Spoiler: The Mafioso and The Mag To be filled in... CURRENT UPDATE: Thread has been reopened to update and post on new projects in the near future.
I was originally going to do the C-pillar first, but that proved to be more of a challenge than expected so I decided to gave it a go at another completely scratch part, this time taking a risk with the front bumper. I shaped the bumper below as you can see pretty closely to the Supreme's bumper, but I also did extra modifications such as bringing down the fender more and merging the seal under the grille with the bumper to further make it alike to the Supreme. This also in turn makes it more convenient when I do the facelift as it already serves a nice basis. Next up will be cutting out vents for the bumper, and then making a new bumper lip on top of that. --- Post updated --- I just recently got the basis of the bumper lip finished, and not going to lie I'm think I'll keep the ventless lip into the final product.
I love this the wendover reminds me of the buick regal coupe / olds tornado i love the idea of the cutlass supreme keep up the wicked work
I've now done the basis for the rear bumper, took a far more meticulous but rewarding method to have better poly-flow. Not much else has been done asides from some slight editing to the body to work with the rear bumper.
Latest thing I've done is make the new trim for the side (also adapted it a bit for the model's side skirt so there was no clipping), and edited the intcarpet model to fit the current roof. Bumpers have also been modified to hang lower and curve more at their ends. Next in line will be adding the slots and vents to the bumpers, not to mention the option for a full lightbar rear fascia. I will also redo the quarter and backlight glass completely. SIDE NOTE: I also fixed the grille a bit, so now it actually looks complete.
While the current bumpers are still WIP, I have made the vents (and formed the interior for both bumpers) for the front bumper. Also, as you may tell, I redid the mirrors now. This time I made sure to consider the mirror's stem, and this definitely has improved the shading issues the previous mirrors I've done had. Here's a closer look at the new mirrors: It may not look as smooth but I think it's worth it for having the shading and the shape be generally nicer.
This looks amazing! I love that its design is a callback to the early '90s Oldsmobile design language. I wish this was the direction the devs went when designing the Wendover. Thanks for putting in the time to implement this into the game, and I cannot wait to see both the development and outcome of your hard work! Great work!
Really appreciate the nice words y'all have been giving me so far! On 2 quick notes, I have decided to scrap the bumper lips as I think just making new bumpers altogether defeats the point of having them, and I've just finished the full lightbar fascia. As mentioned in the previous progress post, I still need to work on the bumpers as the quicker I get those finished, the more I can work on significant parts such as the C-pillar area. Also I had to remove the images from the OP because they just continued breaking for some reason so just keep that in mind.
