lots more work on the ETK today. it now has a proper body on it, but it needs a substantial amount of optimization.

it also has an interior now, which is mostly done. not sure how i want the gauges, but i messed around with it a bit.

drivetrain seems pretty much finished. still needs some performance parts, but all the stock stuff is there i'm mostly sure. besides the random crap in the engine bay (abs, battery, etc.). i may put that stuff in the front with the radiator and fuel tank, but the goal of this car is to have as much storage space as possible in a small and maneuverable hatchback, so i'd like to make the frunk as big as possible (the rear trunk will have a fairly shallow floor, due to the engine being underneath it.).

 

It's rear-engined, and comes with a diesel engine.

I wonder if you would have the same complaints if it wasn't a VW?

 

Why so negative? He's working on a full car made from scratch in his own time and all you can do is complain. The car looks excellent.

 

I do have a complaint - the ETK brand is too luxurious for a minicar - but like the concept of merging the Up design with a different layout.

 

yeah I'd agree with you there since etk is basically bmw, audi and a bit of Mercedes, but yeah I like the design, it's a bit like a Twingo (mk3) mixed with the Up

Painted by Vantablack?

 

yes and no,cause it doesnt reflects(

 

Yeah, I think it's because it's based on a VW.

 

i actually do plan to change up the model a lot, to look a lot more like an ETK than a vw, hence the missing badges and stuff. it's just a lot easier to visualize my progress when it matches up with the blueprints i have.

also, bmw does currently make a subcompact/city car.


and i do realize that the up! concept was rear-engine rear-drive, but i hadn't learned that before starting this project. i was mainly basing it off of the VW EA266 concept:

 

maybe i'll just vw brand it, i haven't decided, but i would like to attempt to make it resemble an ETK as much as possible first. i guess i'll have to finish doing that, and then ask for people's opinions on it.

 

use this instead...

singleton Material(YOURMATERIAL)
{
mapTo = "YOURMATERIAL";
specularPower[0] = "25";
translucentBlendOp = "None";
diffuseMap[0] = "vehicles/YOURCAR/black.png";
useAnisotropic[0] = "1";
materialTag0 = "Miscellaneous";
pixelSpecular[0] = "1";
normalMap[0] = "vehicles/YOURCAR/black_n.png";
materialTag2 = "Industrial";
materialTag1 = "vehicle";
};

 

hey,bigg thanncc
but i already fixed that with creating specular and normal maps for black material

 

just a little something...

No brand is been too luxurious for a minicar/microcar, if there's money to be made they will do it. Ferrari made a car with back seats and Lamborghini is making an SUV. If you're thinking German brands are somehow better, Mercedes has a whole line of work vehicles. It's not that far-fetched for ETK to have a microcar.
