Do the Citroen AX and you have a sure way to the 2009 season fame :)

This one reminds me on the my second favorite game: bribe the local authority... ;D

Since this topic has links to all those blueprints, I'll explain here the trick I am using to grab coordinates for the Skyline. There is an extremely useful program called Engauge Digitizer which allows one to extract coordinates from 2D graphs and images. All I had to do was to import the blueprint on the program and define three reference (axis) points according to the desired dimensions of the car (I picked the in-game ZR1 z-coordinates and calculated the adequate in-game dimensions from the Skyline height/length and width/length ratios). After the reference points are set, the program will tell the coordinates of any point of the screen as you hover the mouse above them. Just repeat the procedure for each of the views of the car, enter the grabbed coordinates on your 3D editor of choice and that's it - lazy modeling never made so convenient...  :D BTW, Engauge is natively available for both Windows and Linux.

Useful trick but I'm staying at Stressed edition. Simple reason: I enjoy it... :)

Duplode, have you tried loading the blueprints into Anim8or?

No, I didn't! :o Although I'm not sure if I would prefer this method to model the general shape of the car (as one would have to cope with the three dimensions at once and then correct coordinates to integers anywyay), it seems to be quite helpful for reproducing smaller details in front and rear wiews. I'll keep note of it  ;)

I wonder if JTK would join a race with this car or not...  ;) ;D

Whoooaaa - I want this car! Immediately!
It may not be faster than 100 km/h and may take up to 10 seconds to reach 80 km/h!

Bodywork OBJ file is done but CarBlaster is not my cup of tea. Maybe Duplode can help... ;)

I can, at some point in the (relatively) near future. Do you plan to have it as slow as it should for the sake of originality? If so, finding some specs would be useful.

Yes, it should be original (must be great fun to jump into a house instead of over...  ;D

Attachment #1: Design of the T3 (unfortunatly I found none with the high roof mine has)
Attachment #2: technical specs (please use the 51 kW bus)
Attachment #3: technical specs in English (please use the 70 bhp Turbo-Diesel)

:) :) :)
