need help with how to get it in the game will be working on it slowley as its my first time useing blender
A car is normally one of the later things you create in blender due to the difficulty it usually takes to make one but so far progress looks good!
Hey I will try to quickly explain you how to import a car in BeamNG. You have to separate your 3D model (with blender) in a couple of part: front/rear bumper, Hood, fenders (L and R), body… You have to name each part (for ex: s13_bumper_F...) If you want example just open a official car in blender and watch how it's separate. Then each part must have its own Jbeam. If you don't know how to make your own one you should first try to understand how Jbeam work (go here: https://wiki.beamng.com/Vehicle_Creation_Megapage ). I recommend you to take example with an official car. At the beginning you should just copy the Jbeam files of an official car and paste it on your car folder. But you can't choose a random official car as base: you have to choose the car that is as similar as possible of your car (first of all front/rear engine, then global form and year of the car. Now you have to edit those Jbeam files: rename the old car name by your car name (ex coupe_body to s13_body) then open all the jbeam files and replace the old name with your new name for ex coupe to s13)(with ctrl H). Now you have to look at the flexbody line in the jbeam files: it have to be exactly the same as the parts in your 3D model (that you have separated). Now you have to edit the info.json files and change the name of the vehicle. Then you should be able to open your car in Beamng but you need to create materials in Blender and in the material.cs file or you will have a ugly orange texture on your car. After that you will have to edit you Jbeam files with BNEditor (here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\BeamNG.drive\utils\editor) because the Jbeam have to match your car (if you export the car in .obj you will be able to open it in BNEditor). It's the most difficult part because it's very hard to have à good Jbeam. Of course your Jbeam will be better if you make your own one but it's very long and very hard. I recommend you to try to learn by yourself by looking to the official cars' files Good luck!
looks like the model is made from scratch and after hearing that this is his first project i wouldn't get my hopes up for a perfect copy of a s13. I don't want to sound pessimistic or mean about this but i'm just saying that you shouldn't expect it to be "perfect."
hi bad new my hard drive died and ive lost all progress but have already started on a new one ill get some photos up in the next few days
