The skeleton is what makes the vehicle behave right and do all that fancy-schmancy-physicsy goodness. If you want to get an idea, load up *any* vehicle in Rigs of Rods (preferably one with advanced deformation, like one of Gabester's cars) and press "K". Those green (or rainbow-colored if you smashed it) lines are the skeleton. In RoR, the skeleton for vehicles is defined in the .truck/.boat/.airplane etc. files. Additionally, this file sets up the suspension, engine performance, weights, and everything else that actually lets it handle like a real car and not a brick with wheels and a jet engine strapped to the back. Unfortunately, the standard format for this file in BeamNG hasn't been released yet, so you may be stuck waiting, most likely until the game comes out. However, we do know that you can most likely change the skeleton parameters in game through a programming language called LUA (might want to start reading up on it) and the game is rendered in the Torque3D engine, which you can acquire right now. It would most likely be smart to do all of the final texture work in the T3D editor, and only use 3DSMax for cursory tests to see how a certain color scheme looks (unless 3DSMax has a Torque3D exporter that can convert the textures, too). I don't really know anything much further than this, as I haven't made anything for T3D yet, and most of this information comes from previous knowledge of RoR and lurking around these forums.
everything is done. i just need to peice it together in engine. meaning i have to wait for the release.
This thing looks incredible, I was thinking about modelling my own Trophy Truck. Any progress on getting it into the engine?
only one problem is that for some reason 3dsmax can't export into collada can someone with a full version of 3ds max do that for me? - - - Updated - - - really quick. this is a size comparison of the ensenada tormenta and the gavril grand marshall
Wow, it looks amazing for a first model! Can't wait to have loads of fun driving this thing all over the place!
Downloading the file you left, and will send you a callada as soon as its done File keeps failing to upload. :/ sorry.
