Cancelled Wentward Semi Pack

I think I get it now.
I have to complete the entire model with the glass. I then export things that are metal as one jbeam, then the glass as its own jbeam, then the mudflaps as its own jbeam.

I'm a little lost. What should be the next step?

 

Grille or Headlights I'd say, or, if you plan on making them, Airfilters.
Or maybe smooth some edges so it fits into BeamNG better

Really like seeing more truck mods for this

 

For some reason, the grille makes me think of Sid from Ice Age.

 

It does actually! Lol. Also, nice progress man!

 

I wasn't sure how to center things a certain way, so I had to eyeball the position of the headlights.

 

To center it you could select all of the sqaure headlight bit in edit mode and do Shift+S then choose Cursor to selected. Then select the round headlight bit in object mode and do Shift+S, then Selection to cursor and then apply all transforms with Ctrl+A

 

Thanks!
OT: Grille is done. What should I do now?

 

Make those side doors a tad bigger, they seem small.

 

Well, that means I have to make the cutouts bigger. I guess that's not a big hassle.

 

If they are separate objects you can click on both of them and press tab to go into edit mode to edit the door and the cut out at the same time.

 

Grill? Wheels?

Better update the current model pic.

literally read.

As powerful a program Blender is, it also has moments where it's a real stinker.
So, I made the cutout bigger and separated the door.

Then Blender, using its big brain, decided that I couldn't make any loop cuts to it. I ended up using the knife tool, but let me tell you, it was a hassle. The first time, it was almost perfect, but the top of the window was angled. After many tries, I did it again, but the top of the window was angled. At that point, I stopped caring, so I just went with it.
What do you think the next step should be?

 

Start modelling an engine I guess? I'd think a four or six cylinder, maybe a V8.
IDK you got the skills i dont.

 

Me neither. If I'm lucky, someone will be able to give a hand.

 

You can't add loop cuts to n-gons (faces with more than four vertices) or triangles. N-gons should be avoided.

 

Strange. I was able to use loop cuts on my previous doors.

 

Just throwing this out here but if you want to look references in terms for wheels, its best to go for Alcoa. Its the number one maker of truck wheels.

Another optional is Dayton. They produce the iconic "heavy duty spoke" rims you used to see in 70s movies with trucks crashing into things.

Yes they also make the iconic two holed "steel" rims.
