Civetta Magari

Hello there!

I have decided to start working on a car mod for this game called the Civetta Magari (for the time beeing).
There will be a poll for other names for this car, but i gladly appreciate every name suggestion.
I don't know if this car will ever be in the game because I have no knowledge in these things whatsoever (This is my first time making a car - yes, it is made from scratch)


To the car itself:

This car came out in the 70s to the 80s. It was a modern sportscar with a classic look.
It is based on the Maserati Khamsin.


My current progress:




It is not really finished. It is just the base mesh for the roof, the hood, the doors and the front bumper.


What I plan on adding:

First I want to finish off the basic mesh of my car.
I want to add:
- Popped up headlights (they stay open the whole time)
- Rear bumper
- Exhausts
- Windows
- Wheels
- Lights

The I want to add stuff like:
- Chassis
- Suspension
- Interior
- Engine
- Details


Constructive criticism is greatly appreciated and I'd love to hear some feedback

 

Names are all a bit off, "Trasecolare" in particular...

 

The shape is good-ish, but it has problems. One, you should select the whole mesh in Object Mode & then in the left menu panel press Smooth. Other thing is that I see a lot of inverted faces, which basically means problems with reflections on the mesh. To remedy that, select your mesh, go into Edit Mode, press A till it's all selected & then press Ctrl + N. One more thing that I would suggest is to use some bevel on it, to not make the edges so sharp, but I think you should do that at some later stage. Other than that, I can't really notice any more problems

 

Thanks for the hint! Looks a lot better now

 

Just a heads up:

- "Magari" doesn't mean "Let's go". Can't really be translated directly, but it's more like the english "You wish!".
- "Velocità" is correct but A) very bland and too generic B) unlikely to be used for a sportscar, as any reference to speed were banned from promotional material at the time, at least in Italy. "Veloce" ("Fast") would work better in this sense.
- "Mozzafiato" works, and possibly your best option (literally means "breathtaking").
- "Rocambolesco" comes from this and it's more like a synonim to "adventurous", with a slightly negative connotation ("rocambolesque" is usually something a little too hard to be taken seriously).
- "Trasecolare" means "to be dumbfounded". Infinitive form of a verb doesn't quite work as a name. Also, not sure you want to be left dumbfounded by the car you're driving...

 

Thanks for putting int the effort to research all the words; I think, since the poll shows that "Velocità" is the most popular version, I will name the car Civetta Veloce, because it would fit better for the time (in the released version)

 

He didn’t do research. He’s Italian. But I think you should change the poll with the correct terms.

 

Yes, we need more of these type of cars. Good job.

 

don't change the name, cuz magari literally means cool in georgian

 

But it has a different meaning in Italian tho.

 

And why would a Civetta have a georgian name? One that in its native language would sound stupid at best, no less?
