Shape ideas

[Cas]

Because of the way wheels are defined in the 3SH file, it should be possible. However, rendering may look weird, as Stunts will consider either the top or the bottom side of the wheel to be "inner" and the other "outer". You surely noticed that when cars are rotated in any other axis than the vertical, wheels tend to appear strange. I think this is because Stunts tries to render ellipses orthogonally with respect to the screen or to some coordinate system. This might affect the wheel look. We'd have to try it to see.

I try to put a wheel in the car hood but dunno how.

Place a wheel roughly in the right spot and export the model. Rotate the part in blender or something and import it again.

It remembers me of using a Doom port which allows freelook, but does not improve graphics. While seeing some entities by watching not horizontally, they could look as they underwent a shear transform.

Do you guys use something else than Stressed to build 3d shapes of the cars?

I use softimage|xsi. But that's overkill.
But the wheels I add in stressed.
But sometimes move in the editor.
I can do it for you. Will take 30 minutes or so.
I have some time tomorrow.

New car shape! What car is this?

[Ryoma]

The ZiL of Brejnev ?

[alanrotoi]

It needs a few fixes but I think American cars were not so popular in Europe 😆.
It is also a classic Argentine car. #summonCas 

[Ryoma]

No because few american cars came in Europe .... And it was not regular.

[alanrotoi]

No problem. I'm here to solve that

We lack of American cars in Stunts. I'm not trying to fill that space. Here in Argentina are brands like Ford, Chevrolet, Chrysler and from Europe Renault, Citroen, Peugeot, VW, Fiat. I mean those wich are manufactured here only. So we have a lot influence from both industries. The fun thing is that when we build local cars they are based on American cars but all the details, the lines and comfort we get inspired on Italian designs.

[Cas]

Well, I am not somebody who knows much about cars, I have to admit... and what I will say doesn't match what you say, ha, ha... but it reminds me of a Ford Falcon

[alanrotoi]

Exactly! It's a Ford Falcon Sprint! Thank you!

[alanrotoi]

Another challenge. The true blood Argentine muscle car: IKA Torino. Still a work in progress, the front is too hard.

[Ryoma]

Cool...Alan will make a lot of cars now....cool
