    Long time forum lurker, first time poster and mod post! W O W !

    Anyways... I've been vaguely interested in making mods. Mostly wanting to make part swaps or fascia edits but I didn't think I'd be able to do it since I lacked the skills when it comes to modeling or coding.
    But after being frustrated for the last time that I couldn't use the many simple new part mods I've found on the forums because they were too old and unsupported, I decided to finally dive head first into the world of BeamNG.Drive modding. My workflow being pretty much just futzing around in Blender and Notepad++ until I get something that looks close enough to what I was trying to achieve. And what better way to learn by fixing an already made mod.

    This is a fixed version of the Gavril Bandito fascia mod originally made by Reactor_4aec that you can find here. https://www.beamng.com/threads/d15-bandito.51038/
    Here are the list of edits I've made...
    1: Removed the baked in valence from the grille model. Now you can use whatever valence you want!
    2: Re-linked the UVs to the main game's textures for the pickup.
    3: Fixed hiding grille badge by lightly receding the grille's center geometry.
    This mod has no configs. Just the front fascia part that you can select.

    Bugs: Turing on the lights. T he default light positions aren't the best but work well enough. Haven't really learned how to edit that yet. :confused:
    The UV mapping or grille geometry could probably both be better optimized but as a first time mod (Well a fix for one at least. I take no credit for the original model.), I'd call this a success!

    Of course, if you think you can make some better changes/fixes to it, feel free to post them here!
