THIS THREAD IS CURRENTLY ON HOLD. Due to technical issues regarding Blender, my computer, (laptop) and any other modeling app, I cannot make any progress on this mod whatsoever. I am, however, getting a new computer in order to get Blender to work, as my laptop is filled with crud I don't need, and said crud that I can't get rid of anyway, plaguing the progress. Please wait while I try to resolve this issue somehow. Hopefully, progress will resume on New Years, or ever better, before Christmas. DISCLAIMER This is a lore-friendly version of the Mercedes E-Class from 1996 to 2001, or how long the generation lasted for. This is NOT a direct copy, and it will have some distinct differences other than the badge. ETK I-Series (boring lore) The ETK I-Series was a sedan that was made from 1985 to 1993. The second generation, which is this mod, was released in 1994 and ended production in the year 2000. This vehicle included options from a 2.4 liter in-line six, to a screeching 4.3 liter V8 from Rennspecht. The vehicle also offered many packages, like high-quality speakers, cushiony-er seats, a VERY EARLY IMPLEMENTATION of a touch screen, and more. Ideas and future implementations Wagon model Rennspecht and Schwerin models (Schwerin is Brabus) Aftermarket customization Gambler config(s) "Personal" configs to congratulate the people that helped (my form of credit) Manual (obviously) Engine swaps Unfinished things pretty much everything. hmu if you wanna help
Sketch of interior is done, outside will be made soon --- Post updated --- View attachment 1068923 --- Post updated --- sketch bc it didnt post for some reason
While I love the idea of a lore-friendly E-Class, what I don't like is that many new car projects get abandoned in a matter of weeks (this can explain my absence from the forums, and my increased activity on the Discord server). Sorry to say this, but I had no other choice because I've seen so many cool projects that end up being abandoned or cancelled.
A little bit, just trying to work out some Blender issues and I should be good to go after this! Might release some more sketches of the car and how it may look! --- Post updated --- It's not abandoned... I just haven't been too active on the forums lately.
Nice! Are you going to make the car from scratch, or base it on a vanilla car? (Presumably the 96 Pessima since the 2 have a similar general shape)
I'll probably base off of the 96 Pessima, actually, but I plan on either updating to a whole new platform, or just making it from scratch, which I would definitely prefer myself.
