    I said there'd be a commercial van, so here it is. The shell is done, and the next step is to detach all the panels, model the underbody, frame, etc., and start on the node/beam chassis.

    We're very busy with code progress right now, but in a period of transition, making it better to minimize the amount of vehicles I have at a state where I'll need to be constantly revising them to keep up with features added/changed. So instead I'm starting on new vehicles that I've already had planned/concepted for a while.

    looks already like it'd be fun to abuse the living daylights out of. Also, interesting fascia. Looks quirky having a raised grill and an odd shaped hood on a utility vehicle but I approve of it.

    the hood makes me assume it had a fantastic accident with an old Lincoln. Its interesting, I like it.

    Looks awesome, as usual. Are you going to keep the steelies on there, or are you going to put custom rims on? Either way, they'll both look great.

    P.S no van is complete without "Free candy" spray-painted on the side :p.

    I'm pretty sure the rims are customizable. You should be able to put whatever rims you want on it...or just paint "FReE CanDy" on the side. :p

    I like the design, although the windows seem a bit... huge... I really dislike the name though, I know it's (well, probably) based on the GMC Vandura's name, but Vanster... Idk.. It's so... Uninspired? To me, it sounds too much like "I MUST have a name that starts with van to mimic the vandura name"... Whereas "vandura" seems to only have the word van in it by accident... Maybe I'm the only one.

    Really hope the roof deforms well lol. I just can't get that video out of my head that was posted on these forums, where they belly-flopped a blue van, landing it on the rear roof, and it just crushed it pretty much all the way to the chassis... Looked so awesome.

    I'm willing to bet that the cargo section of the van will be more hollow than the rest in terms of its skeleton/chassis since they're not exactly held up by anything in real life. I'm going to assume it's more hollow but with stronger beams so it'll be weaker overall than the cab.

    Looks great! But i have a question, do you plan to add doors on the passenger side for the cargo area? Not a request just asking.

    Looks like all the real vans do, so I guess I will.

    A better question would be "Will it blend?" ;) I'm curious to see how it will deform. RoR didn't really have any good flexbody vans, and I can't name many other games with a realistically-deforming van.

    We need a map with a giant blender entity with only a "CRUSH" and "OFF" button!
