====Old post:====

Alright, I need a small break from my War of the worlds project, so I modeled this beauty, the Buick Roadmaster Sedan. I will continue the WOTW level as soon as I get the motivation to get back on it, maybe after this car, maybe a little bit later. If you want to help me, no problem.

The car is going to be as detailed as the Impala, maybe Ill make some tuningparts so you can tune it as a lowrider or sth like that It took me 4 days/~20 hours, only some small details of the exterior left. I might add some additional polies on some places.

============================================


============================================

Zmodeler2 got a export script for GTA IV 3d models so theres a really good chance to get it into IV as well. Im going to create some normals/specmaps for every texture so everything looks even better than in San Andreas. We got a next gen game engine, so why not using it.
Pictures were taken with Xoliuls viewport shader 1.3

It looks pretty nice! Quick, too!

Are you doing an interior?

[3dfinlay]

Just remember to make sure the A-post that you see most in the game while driving is nice and smooth. Right now, I see nickeling on the Drivers Side A-Post. And you might want to add a split up the middle of your driver/passenger side front windows, just so you get cleaner reflections and no weird warping...

Looking nice!

[Schaefft]

Yup, Ill add some more polygons so everything looks a bit smoother. And yeah, ill model an interior, engine, undercarriage, trunk detachable bumpers, doors, fenders, like the Impala I modeled.

Thanks for your comment^^

Great! Only add some polys to B-pillar and remodel this silly tires I know you can get it better man, I know you :P

[Schaefft]

What do you want here xD Yeah, Ill add more polygons tomorrow xD But why remodeling the tires? The look okay imo. The rims are a bit small but the cars has white wall tires so it will look a bit different with textures on those wheels. They have that size on MMMs blueprints^^

[3dfinlay]

I'd keep the tires the way you have them for now....Wait until you get the whitewalls on before you do any resizing...

[Schaefft]

Update, added some polies and additional details, the model of the exterior should be complete now.

[Schaefft]
