What stops you making a mod?

All these options:

• 
  
  • I can't model
  • I can't code
  • I don't even know where to start
  • No motivation/I wouldn't even if I could.

 

I can most likely model. I have made a few buildings in Sketchup in school, and that was very easy. Now, I could make something with not as many curves.
Jbeam is most likely my downfall. My ADHD will prevent me from making that tedious work doable.
Also, at the moment, I am kind of afraid of the Blender interface, lol. Too many buttons to know.

 

no motivation here, otherwise i would gladly make some vehicles and such

 

What stops me? A vegetable.

(My computer is a potato, for those who didn't understand)

 

It's a real shame that you couldn't get that bus done. The busfag will do just fine for now.

 

Erm... What bus? I haven't started one, nor do I plan to.

 

OHH wait. I meant your semi.

 

ADHD stops me from learning J-Beam aswell I have to have a visual reward such as that from modelling and J-Beam just doesn't cut it, i always try about twice then give up. Pretty sure it's because the progress isn't obvious enough so I just give up haha, Maybe one day i'll make fast enough progress to stick with it lol.

 

Oh my goodness. You are exactly the same as I am! I made an orphanage for school, and I spent two days on it, because I was making great progress, then when I started making the doors, I just stopped. Here's a pic of it:

And this was all from that one little ref picture you can see at the bottom.

 

Seems like something else than ADHD to me... It never prevented me from learning it... Seems more like you all just don't have the patience or just plainly aren't interested enough, rather than it being about the visual reward. Imho, the visual reward is absolutely huge... (I'm sure someone is gonna feel the need to post "omg myth u gotz teh adhd, i never knew"... Yes.. I do. I just don't make a big deal out of it and don't put it everywhere on the forum...)

But if you feel like the visual reward isn't big enough: Model something like your own car if you really like that, then start putting it in-game, piece by piece(start with small pieces). That way it's very hard to give up on it, because "you've already come so far making the model"...

 

omg myth u gotz teh adhd, i never knew..

 

I don't know how the textures are working in BeamNG

 

Yes, I know that it shouldn't be an excuse, but I have a bit of a harder time than I should with it, and I wish I could keep it a little more under control, at least IRL. I have even grown to realize just how I am to others, and that is usually quite annoying (I am to others). I put it in my sig just to show that I may sound a little more childish at times, but I will tell others that they can be a bit more assertive towards me (I would prefer to be told to shut up, rather than continue to ramble on and annoy someone even more) when needed.

I have been able to act mature on this forum, at least compared to how I am with some of my very good friends on Skype, but they are just as crazy as I am. That is the way I am with others, and it does help in the long run. I will find out just how mature I have to be on here to be accepted enough on here, and I have probably found that out by now.

Honestly, and from how I read what you said, I would have never thought that you had ADHD Myth, because you are very well-composed on here.

 

I know all about the Vic and the BMW, and from my k knowledge, no he hasn't done anything from scratch (in terms of cars), but correct me if I'm wrong, that's how people learn.

 

What stops me from making mods and maps?


I would love to have deforming snow/mud, and do maps and cars, but I don't know how to do the modding work, or where to even begin.

 

I cant model
I cant script

But what i want to do next year, is to learn modelling. Because i definatly want to do awesome stuff like some guys of the forums.
If anybody wants to teach me modelling, than please pm me. I have NO experience, and my english isnt very good.
But Hopefully there is somebody who wants to tell me how to model (in Blender/3ds).

Have a nice rest year 2013, and good luck for 2014.

Edit
Teacher is found.

 

I can't Model nor can I Code.
The Torque 3D Editor is Complicated enough for me

 

Lack of interest. I have three projects going right now. I'll just get this sudden interest to model one day, and it'll just last like two days. Then I just stop working on the project.

 

Cars, i don't even know like what they're made of in the game

Maps: takes a hell of a lot of time but easily possible with the in game tools. Also, not good if you're a perfectionist like me

 

Lack of commitment. I started a mesh a while (2 years) ago and never even got past a door, but I chalk that up to using the wrong tools. JBEAM is to boring for me, I would rather model and have a jbeamer do that. I modded the brand marshal once, but it sucked. I did grip/torque/drive wheel mods for ror. I am ok at maps, but only worked on one and lost it to a power outage and never restarted. Meh.
I still owe zxbobxz a cliff map. I was doing good in ce3, but now it's t3d.
