I didn't took the mesh or used the mesh.

And also thanks for the tips on making the n/b, but could you guys explain it to me in pictures? Because i can't understand it if its on words sometimes.

Your jbeam should have about this density, perhaps a little more if you like (this is the bare minimum, favouring performance, strength and ease of construction)

Your corrent setup of using the same density as the model would not work well at all, not to mention murdering your CPU.

Furthermore, jbeaming is no simple matter, and requires an extensive knowledge of the technicalities of how an automobile works in order to make one from scratch. Judging by your previous works, I suggest you have a good read on both jbeam syntax and automobile systems before commencing the jbeam.

 

I know you love your flat face design alot. But you either need to smoothen the edges around the face and the rest of the car. Or add a slight over hang which might look nice imo.

 

Well, this isn't my first attempt at making an N/B structure, i came from rigs of rods (Which beamng came from) and i have been trying my best at doing an N/B many times i want a decent n/b to be decent just like gabesters.

But since i haven't bought the game yet and i don't have access to apps for creating the N/B ill try to read the wiki and see how i can understand the N/B.

I suggest you keep your comments to yourself, those words really offended me.

 

Pontiac. They're trying to help you. Don't be so rude.

 

You mean the guy who said about my tailights was annoying him? I found it offending, its like he wants my car to be at his style.

 

I'm only seeing people being rude that don't like his style. Because it's not 60s or 70s or 80s or something. Like a car has to look in a certain way to qualify for a timespan. If it is his imaginary car so let him be.
It's an "Development Screens" thread after all and not "It does not fit my taste and i don't want to see it" thread.

 

Actually yes. Yes that is exactly the case. You can disagree all you want but that's just a fact. It has to look a certain way to fit a timespan. A 70's American car will look different than a 40's American car, or a 2014 European car. Those taillights should be made up of rectangles or rectangles with circles in them, or circles. I can't think of a single American car from before 1985 and after 1967-ish that had strange-shaped taillights, or headlights for that matter. The Charger and the Challenger from the 60's also had mostly rectangular lights on the back, just with 1 rounded corner or a slightly odd shape in them...

Also, the same applies to bumpers on 80's and 70's sedans from America. I can't think of a single American fullsize sedan from that period that didn't have bumpers.

 

If you get offended that easily you shouldn't be on the internet.

 

This one will surely get in game

Pretty cool, but will someone add a Countach/Detomaso Pantera wing to this thing already? :/ It really looks like it needs one...

More #Fappening...

Sickkkkk dude. I love it.
This is totally cosmetic but it kinda bothers me that the suspension springs are grey now. It almost makes me feel like the whole vehicle is in black and white.
Love the engine sound by the way as well. I'm so glad this thing is coming back!

EDIT: holy crap forgot to mention how awesome that spoiler looks lol

 

It already has a lip, but I'll see if I can add one. Idk if I can make it a separate part that falls off so I might need some help.....

 

Time to get another infraction, i guess.

So what do i do now? Change the year to fit the "timespan"? Or redesign the car to make it match the year 1968? Its not even necessary to make it fit for a timespan unless your making a replica of a car that exist then it is really necessary to fit the timespan. Its an imaginary car and you people are comparing my vehicle to the real world that the year 1960s had circle tailights and all that stuff. I'm proud of my design and that was the car i wanted to build since i was young, and when you saw the car, the first thing that came into your minds is that it doesn't have a bumper. Fine i added one then the timespan? I originally wasn't going to allow anyone to criticize my vehicle because it was my dream car to be made, but then i accepted the criticisms, bumper,fascia,etc..... Whether you people like it or not, love it or hate it, it will still remain 1968. If you still want to continue this argument send me a message.

 

You're completely misunderstanding everyone... You can make your dream car all you want, but like... This is like the people who put Xenon headlights and LED/Lexus taillights on a 1990's Honda Civic... It just doesn't work. It just wouldn't ever be like that from factory, because technology wasn't there to do it that way. Not because people didn't like it back then.
I mean look: This just doesn't work does it?

Car is too boxy to get those modern-looking lights. Makes it look ridiculous. Now look at a 2005 Lexus or a Mazda 6 and it'll have same style taillights, and suddenly they look fine.

Same happens with your car. You got a nice boxy 1960s-1980's design going on... Then you suddenly add shapes to it that just come from a completely different style of car.

But if you want to keep argueing that it's made up and therefore you can do whatever you want and suddenly have a 100kg weighing 15 cylinder V-configuration engine running on kerosine and alcohol... Then be my guest, but it's just not believable. It won't be a car that looks like it could be made.

Going from your username, Google for "70s pontiac parisienne". Great looking car from the 70's and 80's. All the different year models have the same boxy style as your car, but it fits together as a whole, because it's all designed in the same time period. Atm, yours looks like someone took a 70's Parisienne and glued lights on it from a 90's car...


Tl;dr: Make it look as 1 whole thing that fits together.

 

New Mangels style rim for the pickup. Scaled and ready to be textured and multi daed into game
Uses same bolts as original rim (gabester) and roughly same attacment point.

EDIT:

I accidentally got them ingame, woooot!

 

You can call it whatever you want, but no car had that taillight shape until the late 80s, and no car would've had those headlights past 1979. No car ever had a completely flat front either. Basically your car doesn't make any sense.

It doesn't belong to a particular timespan, it's a 1970's car with bits from a 1990's car. You can call it a 1968 model from Pontiacsimaginationland and that's it.
If you had a proper front and rear fascia you'd have a nice car.

 

Can everyone please remember that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and that fictional things quite often don't give a damn about real world restrictions. Many things would be much less awesome if they were 100% grounded in reality.
While i may not agree with Pontiac it is their vision and just maybe they will make something beautiful out of it in places where we did not expect it.
