How are Jbeam's done?

Might pick up a model and try and make a jbeam for it, instead of mesh slapping, buuut I don't really know how jbeams are done. In a program perhaps?

 

Blender is what you need for modeling, and it's free!

 

Thanks Jer. Already have blender and have picked it up a few times to try and rig for VRChat. When I was younger I thought you had to code each position for the JBeam without actually seeing it. Good to see that it isn't like that at all

 

Your welcome, and there also is the Node-Beam Editor

 

Jbeams are made using a simple text editor, and a lot of patience

you can also try the easier route which is using NBE but it's just bad imo

Oh, they are? And the NBE is bad? I mean, I have never tried modeling but I know Blender is the #1 thing you need.

 

Still the case, like LucasBE mentions. The trick is to keep your game open and hit ctr+r every time you made a change. The view of your jbeam can be very obscured sometimes, but that's what it is. Good practice is a good payoff though.

No, jbeam is the structure that makes up the vehicles physically and Blender is used for the 3D model mesh. You need both of those and a lot more to have working cars in BeamNG

 

I am sorry, I just wanted to help.
