    People make art in blender, and they can make vehicles in blender. And people pay for paintings so why not for 3d models? I mean some people would accept, plus everyone makes mistakes, so dont yell at him for putting a thread in the wrong forum.

    Good to know you are wrong, already have a few people PMing me some information of cars they are working on and adapting them.

    Lesson no.1 for you: Money makes people do things for you.

    Money talks, always has done, human greed is instinctive.


    I couldn't give 2 shits to be frank. If a modder here is willing to accept 10 quid as an incentive to make a mod then so be it, if a modder would rather just do things himself without any community influence then so be it, if a modder will only accept 5 grand in order to force him to make a mod and someone is willing to pay that quantity then thats down to the modder and whoever is paying. I don't think its anyones business to say that they can or cannot do that.

    EDIT: Not unless moderators impose an actual rule stating that nobody can conduct this sort of business anyway, until then I think its fair game.

    Sorry about being harsh with my response. It's just that I'd seen other people ask for cars in the past with the same response, so I assumed the response would be the same here. Apparently, money does make for a good incentive here.

    Sorry, but posts like this makes people buy russian car mods...
    Even you could say, go to suggestions forum post a thread and maybe someone will do for you.

    But saying noone will ever, is not good.

    Let me clarify something for you all (as someone who has done a lot of freelance contract 3D modeling work): You are not buying the car from the person making it - you are paying them for their labor. The going rate for even basic 3D modeling ranges from $30 to $100 per hour. Now consider how specialized making a BeamNG vehicle is - constructing the physical skeleton and all that - and you're looking at hundreds of hours of labor to make a single car. I strongly doubt anyone here would be willing to pay thousands of dollars to commission one car, nor would someone with the skill to make such a car want to spend those hundreds of hours in exchange for some tiny amount of money as if you were buying it from Turbosquid.

    Now if you've got $2000-$5000 lying around burning a hole in your pocket and you want to commission someone to make the car of your dreams for BeamNG, there's nothing stopping you - but that's what the going rate would be.

    Except the guy who was about to do a car anyway and then thinks "well why not do another model instead and get a little money for it at the same time", not talking about a professional 3d artist with a full time job in that area. How far was that thought away... even if you are in general right gabester, the exception proves the rule.
    Just want to say that expecting my own experience to be an indication for the outcome of future events, leads to wrong assumptions in many cases.

    By reading the title alone, I wouldn't even consider it, "Willing to pay for the cars "I Want" made", there is another way to ask. People get first impressions by reading heads to threads. Keep that in mind mate. There are tons of people here wanting vehicles made for BNG, but most of us are busying doing our own projects and not really wanting to get paid to make content for a game, then shouldn't everyone who makes content for BNG get paid? You'll be wasting your money mate.

    Now that's astonishing.

    And Gabe had a good point. There is a lot of work to fully produce a proper vehicle for beamng. Hell Gabe probably gets a pretty large share of the profits and he still doesn't shell em out daily lol. It takes lots of work. Lots of dedication and time. But yeah if I could I'd definitely take a 4 digit number to make someone something for beamng :)

    Wow, I am disappointed some of the members on this thread, it feels like some of posts are there just to back seat moderate and get the upper hand. Let people say what they want to say. Even if the person only has 100$ for a mod, I'm sure someone will do it. That money can be very useful to a lot of kids on here.

    I'm not sure if you would get in trouble selling a add-on to a game, so make sure it is ok with the devs first.

    But seriously guys, calm down, if you don't like the idea of the thread post somewhere else.

    I love back seat moderating.

    The thing is, if someone has the skill to make such things, they won't do it for $100, when they could be working for a much larger company earning a living.

    $100 is nothing for something that takes months.

    Sam this is the perfect example of an assumption based on your expectations... it has nothing to do with real life facts after all, as you practicaly cant know how every single person with such skills would behave or decide for his life. I dont understand how hard it is to realize that.
    Such statements make you look blind folded as it looks like you think you could tell this things realy as if it would be facts. You even discredit yourself here if you dont work in a large company earning a living for exactly this kind of work right now, as you have the skills to do such cars, and actually do it for free, while you could earn money for it in the same time. But even if you do work in a company as 3d artist, judging from your expectations only is a fatal failure! Do you realize that jobs are a limited resource? Specialy in large companys, thats why there are unemployed people you know. Furthermore is 3d artist a job that becomes more and more popular.
    100$ is nothing for something that takes month, yet 100$ is much for an unemployed person with 3d skills or a dish washer with 3d modeling as hobby... or did you just try to say that nobody who did not also enjoyed an education in this area would have enough skills to do it? I would doubt that last assumption of mine, but please why would you be able to judge how much value 100$ has for a poor person with skills? Thats disgusting.
    Statements like this are pure ignorance towards the aspects you cant tell by the fact you have limited resources for informations to base your opinion on. This is common sense and applied logic. You dont even know all people of this forum personaly, yet you judge how they would decide in the most personal decission of their life aka "how to earn money to survive"? This is overbearing behaviour and leaves a presumptions impression on people who try to stay objective for the things they cant tell for sure because of the lack of enough informations. :(

    PS: Beside facts like the commisioning guy did talk nowhere about 100$ or any other price maximum he would be willing to pay, if he owned so many cars already he most likely wont be just 17 years old.
    My dad for example payed 1,400€ for a handmade car model to place it in his display cabinet, just because he owned the real car one day and wanted this hand made model of an opel senator, it has no practical use at all.
    So you cant even tell how much someone would be willing to pay for a model he can practicaly trash in a game.
    (and, yes, i know i can be a pain in the arse, sorry about that^^)

    Seriously? ... Its a selfish and digsuting quote, and you dont realize what makes your character suspicious if you use such an insolent quote in your signature?
    Impressive self reflection skills. :/ Same goes for your youtube profile name, which was probably your former forum name too, considering your actual name, but thats just an assumption obviously.


    Edit to correct wrong interpretation of the Peter Brock quote which is used in the signature of "HadACoolName":
    I have to apologize to you HadACoolName! Due to the fact that english is not my native language, i did not see any other possible interpretation for the quote "Bite off more than you can chew. Then chew like hell." by Peter Brock, than the one that would mean to eat more than you could need. Luckily i was told by "n0ah1987", that this quote is rather directed at a task you want to achieve or that you should put the target that you place for yourself higher than you expect to reach, to make yourself grow over the limits you would expect to have. In this way the quote is indeed inspirational and motivational and i would absolutely agree with it if that is the true meaning. I hope you can accept my appology.

    aside from the contradiction, disagreeing with someone or getting annoyed at someone and expressing such a sentiment is hardly backseat moderating. Read what you just posted, telling people how to behave, and tell me that wasn't just the height of hypocrisy. If people step out of line or say something daft, its acceptable to respond to it. This is what a forum is for, talking. And the tone doesn't necessarily have to be positive. As long as we stay reasonable mature it shouldn't be an issue.

    To Mr Forum Police

    I think you need to stop wasting your time causing pointless arguments and trying to stick up for people 24/7, it's really annoying.
    I never disrespected anyone either, so I'm clueless on where you get your facts.

    Who are you to judge too? You're acting like you know it all, like you have an idea, I highly doubt you understand Jbeam properly to make such comments, making out it's some easy thing, like someone will spend months staring into Notepad for $100.
    He would be lucky enough to find a modeller to do it for $100, you can argue your point as much as you like.

    But doing Jbeam for a full car, and modelling? Yeah, seems legit man. Maybe you should go create your own cars before making ignorant assumptions. Because it looks to me like you don't have a single clue.

    What you wrote is seriously hypercritical, telling me like I don't understand, so please educate yourself, go learn what is required to create such things, then come back here and take his $100 offer and do as your told for 3 months straight, forget your daily job.

    EDIT: Finding someone who specializes in Jbeam is really hard, so it's not like you can go advertise $100 on the internet for someone to create the Jbeam for you, it wont happen.
