    What’s going on guys ! Does anybody have the time or patience to teach me how to create turbo setups within blender? I want to make top mount turbos for the ETK’s and a few other cars as well! Feel free to respond and let me know if anybody is willing to help me out! I appreciate y’all in advance

    Use vanilla stock models first to grasp the idea of modelling.

    Be VERY careful about mirroring twin turbos and piping, recalculating normals are a b*tch to deal with. Try separating parts from an object. You want outside to be blue and inside to be red. Also be super careful to join objects too, the UV maps must match.

    Spoiler alert I learnt those in a HARD way, even now I'm still learning blender despite making mods that are famous enough to be featured by major youtube channels like fillman86 or dytastic

    I want to get to the point where I can fully comprehend what you just said to me but i will! I just separated the turbo on the ETK from the manifold and it took a minute! I would have to bring in the intercooler as well and try to connect everything in blender I’m assuming. If you have time I’d love to hop on steam and chat it up. This stuff is crazy

    Not bad. Tbh you should also keep a duplicate of the original part in case you mess up (trust me you will eventually since I have before) so you can revert there without losing too much progress. Be VERY careful when mirroring your turbos though.

    I dont have a ton of experience with Beam exporting, but there are tons and tons of tutorials available on Youtube. Start with the basics, before jumping in too deep.

    This tutorial is a little old but i dont think the interface has changed much:
