So, i've wanted to make a fiat panda mod for a while and finally i've decided to make it. This is what i've done so far: (it's bad, i know) To do list: -custom jbeam -custom wheels -engine swaps -custom engines and sounds -widebody kit -led modern headlights and headlights -liveries -interior -i can't think about anything else Probably it's going to take more than a year to make everything that i want to make, help for the modeling is appreciated
I'd take a moment to do the grunt work of gathering up references, if you haven't already. You can search "Fiat Panda blueprints" on Google and find useful profile views of the car, some typically will have useful measurements already attached. This video will give you a good idea of how to setup said references to use them in Blender, although if you are new to content creation in BeamNG I'd recommend starting on a much smaller project to learn the ropes.
yeah, help for the references would be appreciated and about learning modding i've done some stuff, mainly mod fixing
TBH looking at the general shape of what you showcased so far, I’d only be concerned by the polyflow of the hood. Other than that, it’s a good boxy boy
Like the others said, I would consider using a blueprint or a picture of the car to model over it, since building something from memory is quite difficult. It seems a bit off in proportions... Otherwise I wish you good luck with the preoject and I'm curious for future progress, since I like the real car a lot, would be great to drive it in Beam
it's not, trust me --- Post updated --- i'm going to remake the whole model with blueprints --- Post updated --- I've also drawn a widebody kit this morning in school
Heehee, nice Attaching cardboard boxes to the fenders would certainly make for an interesting alternate bodykit to this lol
Nice! How are you going to add them? 1. Export to a car, then take the engine into your car 2. Copy vanilla engine into Panda and change torquecurve to match Automation 3. something else And I noticed there’s turbocharged and NA engines. I’d personally suggest having turbos be a separate part, but it’s your mod, not mine, all up to you
Today i'm going to start working on the hubcaps for the car, you can tell me if you want a particular kind of hubcap with a picture of it.
I looked up „1980 Fiat Panda hubcaps” and found only some hubcaps that are identical to the Covet, plus some weird football ones
Nice to see this car!! I have a question: will be this car lore-friendly? Or will you release this as real brand on forum?
