WIP [REWORK] 2000-2004 Pessima Refresh 0.3

I h

I have to admit , you have a lot of talent when it comes to design . The wagon is on point, but I think the coupe feels ... a little bit too much " luxurious " for a Pessima ! It's almost looks like a Mercedes from the side , it's a compliment cause the design is good for a luxury car but not a basic car .

For the wagon , you can maybe create or integrate a spoiler on the tailgate for the sportier models and maybe a rear facing 3rd row bench seat , just like in a E Class wagon from the same era ?

Not really related with this topic but seeing your your modeling talent , do you think it's possible for you to do a face-lift of the Soliad Lansdale ? Maybe upgrading the interior and the body to create a more modern minivan ? Is this something possible or is it too hard maybe ? Thanks and keep up the good work on the Pessima

 

Appreciate it!
The wagon will likely get a different design, as someone designed this in the discord thread which I much prefer over my design:
The coupe was mostly inspired by the Accord coupe, what makes you feel that it's too luxurious? Do you have any ideas to make it less so?

And for the Soliad Lansdale, I am pretty sure it already has a facelift in the base game.

 

Kinda reminds me of a Civic/Accord, Idk what you mean man

 

So, will you do this wagon? Looks awesome!

 

in my opinion this looks much better,reminds me of a later gen nissan stagea, looks more japanese than the first design which seemed reminiscent of a taurus wagon

 

Totally agree with you on the wagon's style .

As for the coupe , don't know how to describe it but to my eye it looks like a coupe Mercedes or Lexus . Maybe it will change of you ever decide to go ahead and make it !

Yes , there is a face-lift of the Soliad but only some headlight and taillights are different . I thought you could do a different interior with some more interior colors and applying some of your magic into it to make it even better !

 

I guess I could maybe consider doing something with the Lansdale
A while ago I was actually thinking of doing a full redesign of the Lansdale, to be based on the last gen Caravan/T&C (Prefacelift & facelift)

 

That would be sweet ! If you have any questions or if you need pictures of something in particular for references , i do own a 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT irl and that will be my pleasure to help you out !

I think the biggest issue right now with the current Lansdale is the interior , as even the facelift and the pre facelift versions have the same one . In real life , they are based on the 3rd gen Caravan 1996-2000 ( pre facelift ) and on the 4th gen 2001-2007 ( facelift ) . They do have a different interior , colors , features and interior material !

 

Ah nice!
I have a friend who really loves the last gen Caravan, so I guess I have two contacts now to help me out with it lol

Did a quick concept edit, not perfect and not sure how I feel about the headlights but it's an idea

 

Paddle shifters are not necessary. They could make the GM way:

 

Yes but that would mean retexturing and UVmapping too.

 

Probably, but wouldn't be Super hard. Just replace the 2 and 1 with S and M on the shifter base texture and "that's it"

 

Nice for a starting point ! Maybe a 08 to 2010 Town and Country can be a better base for the Soliad ( feels like the horizontal grill fits more with the Soliad brand )

Also don't forget that the gen in your picture was the 5th gen , produced between 2008 and 2010 . There was a major face-lift in 2011 ( almost 6th gen of you ask me ! ) which was produced 2011 to 2020 ( the one I have ! ) and use a different interior and powertrain . You can maybe mix the 2 ?


The interior can be typically late 2000's . Upright and square . You can also put your touch and add some feature while you are there , like a panoramic sunroof for example.

Taillights can be bigger or take place higher in the C Pillar instead of near the tailgate / bumper ( like a Honda CRV or your Pessima Wagon concept )

I've attached a few pics so you know what I mean !

 

Hey, I have a slightly updated edit that I sent you in a message, if you would be fine with moving there to not clog up this thread haha ( Don't want to keep bumping this thread with an unrelated topic )

 

Is The Wagon done?

 

Nope, I have not started working on it yet.

 

By the way, I have a 5AT transmission ready, both i4 and V6

 

Can you make the MK2 Yamato Crescendo (based on the Pessima refresh) as a lore-friendly Infiniti G35/V35?

 

Have you heard of the Ibishu Mirena project by Angry_Bird?

 

It looks like a EUDM Pessima MK2 refresh
