Hell yeah! i am going to make a sunburst killer out of this thing. It looks awesome. If i'm correct you just have to finish jbeaming, right?
Will we have to wait for it to be approved on the repository, or will there be a file available here? (In my experience, going through the repository can take quite a while, so it wouldn't hurt to post it here until it gets approved.)
Probably like a week or so. It depends how long it takes to fix the last few things and get it ready. Honestly, the major thing right now is the weird normals on the fenders and a bit of the rear hatch. Once I figure out what exactly is going on there, and polish a few things, it should be pretty much ready for a first release. Maybe, although there aren’t very many performance parts at the moment. There will be a turbo for the V6 coming soon though. (^.^) Nope, jbeam is done. (^^) It’s mostly just weird normals and a few other miscellaneous thinks. I’m not the best at modeling, haha. (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵) I’m going to go through the repository, but if it takes more than a day or too, I can see about uploading the mod here too. (^^)
@killstreak451 Why the quote???? On topic: Will there be like a "luxury" option? (Sunroof, special trim, special rims, etc). Will there also be custom lettering? I forgot
Ooohhhh, sunroof, that's a good idea. I might add that in the future. (^^) There's not exactly a "luxury" trim, per-se, but the top-of-the-line ZX AWD has some pretty fancy rims, and "luxury" features such as a 5-speed automatic transmission as an option. And yep, there's custom lettering! (◠‿◠*)
The way I did it, I simply just opened up the Pessima lettering file in Paint.Net, and used PowerPoint (I know, really professional (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵) ) to find a similar font to the default lettering. I wrote out my own lettering in the same colors as the default, and exported it as a .png. I then imported it as a layer into Paint.Net, put my lettering over the old lettering, and exported it to the mod. For specular maps, I just messed with some of the brightness and level settings of my lettering, until it mimicked the default fairly well. I kinda did the normal maps weirdly, but I believe if you have Photoshop, there’s a setting or add-on you can use to generate them. I believe there may be one for specular maps as well, but I’m not certain. The way I did my lettering isn’t necessarily the best way, but it worked for me. (๑>◡<๑)
Nice, could you give me q hand woth UV maps and textures in general after you're done with the minivan? They are quite confusing thing to work on.
Hey! Could I please have a download to your mod... the mod looks great and I would like to have it. Thank you from -Andy
