Hello, today, I bring you a really roughly thrown together mod of a little tikes car! I have been having fun making mods and figured I'd challenge myself to make something even lighter than the backyard kart, so this thing is what I chose to do. Now, my modelling skills are still a bit... poor, but I think it gets the point across lol. I plan on releasing it here as soon as I can get the front wheels to point in the right direction when moving. All in all, this mod took about 5 hours and it shows lol. It comes in at a total weight of 50lbs. Here are some awesome screenshots of this bad boy: It looks like those cursed happy meal mascots And here is a quick video of it coasting down the mega ramp at the motorsports playground: And here is a video of the handling at the current WIP stage: 06/16/2023 I have uploaded the first version here. It has all of the features you would expect from a little tikes car, like... wheels and.... thrusters. The thrusters are fairly weak, but they can still make it go fast enough to blow up the wheels. Update 06/17/2023 update to fix the bad texture 10/08/2023 update to add steering and various stability fixes. 10/08/2023 update 2: Fixed wheel springiness.
That is my plan! The roof, front axles, rear axle, and all four wheels can break off although they are all a little strong right now while I get the parts stable
I plan on making it driveable and I found this video while looking for reference photos, which makes me want to make a hotrod variant lol. I already have the engine mesh with the backyard kart, so it would be a fairly quick process since I am much better at doing tube frames than I am body panels: Edit: Thrusters are also an option I plan on implementing
I'll post my millions of blend files to prove they aren't! The only thing I plan on using that I did not make is the heavily edited I4 engine mesh that I have on the backyard kart. The eyes and mouth I pulled from google images, but I do plan on making my own in paint or gimp.
Welp. I have the first version uploaded. It gets unstable around 100mph or so, but you can't steer anyway, so I guess that doesn't matter. I still plan on making the rat rod build, but that will be a ways down the road since I only really did this to challenge myself and I have two other major projects I am working on. Do not fear though, I love goofy things like this so it will get more attention if any major issues are discovered or if I need a break from the other projects.
omg. I thought I fixed that material pointer. I had it pointing to textures from the backyard kart so I could check which would look good. I uploaded a new file with that fixed
do not tell me lucasbe will inspect this again i already have a removed mod in my repo --- Post updated --- i hope this isnt gonna be second removed mod because i already have a stolen asset little tikes car 4000
Nah bro, I don't use other's work without their permission. All assets used in the final product were made by myself either for this project or borrowed from my other projects. You should probably look at the mod before suggesting that I also stole assets.
this and that are not "connected" in any way. you can't just assume a mod is using stolen assets just because a different mod made by a different person did
