Re: 3D Mesh Models - A continuous WIP. I will be another person to say that these beds would be great to put on the H-series...both the Vanster and Cabster versions
Re: 3D Mesh Models - A continuous WIP. Great work so far! And so quick too. Love your bed choices. Maybe for the Cabster (Mini-truck) a farm version? You know, one of those that you use to transport chickens or hay or maybe cows?
Re: 3D Mesh Models - A continuous WIP. I present to you, the rendered and complete Steel Utility Bed for the D15 Pickup. As shown on actual pickup in Blender. (imported from here) Currently Working On: Wooden Rail Bed - D15 Starting Next: Ambulance Box for H-Series
Re: 3D Mesh Models - A continuous WIP. Suggestion, the floor on the utility bed would look good with a texture like this
Re: 3D Mesh Models - A continuous WIP. The only thing I would be able to do with that is some low-poly concept. The actual vehicle hasn't been released yet so I have no frame of reference. Funny idea, though. I can see the logo on the side now: "BIBBY BEAM'S DISCOUNT CHICKEN HUT" - - - Updated - - - Indeed. I haven't gotten to texturing yet, but most of the small intricate details will be produced via the textures. And yup, I was planning on using diamond plate for certain parts, including the flooring.
Re: 3D Mesh Models - A continuous WIP. If you could get that working in game, I will love you forever. I've been hoping someone would make something like that Also... I think it looks better in the current style (just black gloss paint) but I think there should be a texture like that (only black) on the floor of the bed
Re: 3D Mesh Models - A continuous WIP. The bed looks really good indeed. Great job. My only peeve about it, and I know it'll be fixed is the wheel wells. If you look carefully the frame for the D15 does not line up properly. I am sure you noticed it and planned to fix it, but just wanted to be sure you were aware of it. .
Re: 3D Mesh Models - A continuous WIP. I've checked, and the wheels do line up properly. It's just the perspective at which the camera was positioned. Here's a different up-close angle: (imported from here)
Re: 3D Mesh Models - A continuous WIP. Hey Dax, Thanks for setting it straight. Looks stellar bud. Keep up the great work.
Re: 3D Mesh Models - A continuous WIP. Thanks. ^^ I'll finish the mapping tomorrow and get the texturing done. - - - Updated - - - And I think the reason that it appeared that way in the image is because the wheels have an offset to the edge of the bed itself. They're positioned further inward, which is standard for most utility trucks with the single rear wheel configuration. Also noted, the wheelbase of the truck itself had to be extended just a bit to facilitate the truck bed. And I'm sure the same will have to be done with other truck beds I have in mind. One final update before I play Drive for a bit and then pop something stupid into Netflix and fall asleep watching it. Below is a small list of beds and truck accessories and parts that I intend to make in the near future: Rollback bed Standard hydraulic tow truck bed Bullbar (More commonly known as brushguard) Offroad Lighting (Based on KC lighting.) Mudflaps Custom hoods (Just think hood scoops.) Truck Caps ..... street sweeper utility bed... seeing as I found a local company that uses the type of street sweeper compatible with the D15, so I can get reference photos from that. And, any other requests and such that I deem I can do. At anyrate, off to Drive!
Re: 3D Mesh Models - A continuous WIP. Stupid question: do you plan to release each one individually or all in a pack?
Re: 3D Mesh Models - A continuous WIP. I will most likely release them individually, seeing as I'm not a professional and generally try not to spend a LOT of time working on models. Seeing as I'm learning Blender since it's more user-friendly and import/export friendly that 3Ds, I'm also facing the challenges of learning a new modeling program at the same time. Maybe I should make a vote... yeah, that's what I'll do. Should my D15 mods and accessories be released individually, or in a package deal?
Re: 3D Mesh Models - A continuous WIP. Personally, I'd prefer you release them individually. It's a lot simpler, and you can release things faster. Plus, I wanna use those ASAP
Re: 3D Mesh Models - A continuous WIP. Love your parts, but as Gabester said their are trying to make it can support more DAE. files in the trucks folder so parts will be much more simpler add to the car so it won't lead to frustration when exporting the whole DAE. file and having mesh issues. So what I'm trying to say is, keep focusing on making the parts until the new system is in the works and finished.
Re: 3D Mesh Models - A continuous WIP. Aha, well with that being said, at the rate that I'm making models, (Apparently about one per day depending on complexity) I could have no other option than to release them all at once. Hah. Well, either way I will continue making the meshes and post frequent updates. Thanks for the info.
