someone wrote a Blender Export for TestDrive 3

[llm]

Building it on another debian/ubuntu base distro will be equaly complex, i took around 15min to find the answer the rest was installation due to no existing linux on my system, but i will have a look how to build statical, but could be that you need to install another bunch of static libs before compilation...

Well, that's fine anyway. I am not a heavy stressed user. I have never created a car, but I wanted to learn how it was done last time. And now I wanted to understand the importing and exporting formats and look at the palette. Besides, I've already been able to more or less dominate the 3SH format to load shapes.

Maybe a W10PE is a solution for stressed.
You can run it from usb.

Just a thought.

building is simple enough - even for non programmers
and there are still bugs that getting fixed and i don't like using old versions

I work on the dashboard of the Diablo. Which version you prefer ?

I like the original Test Drive III artwork (Bottom left) however I think that the others better suit the Stunts aesthetic.  Because of this, I prefer the one on the bottom right, although I think that the air vents should be the same resolution as the rest of the artwork.

Something like that ?

I think the palette of td3 is difficult to use with stunts

[Daniel3D]

Pallet is easy. Take a existing one with similar colours en open that in Photoshop. Paste the test-drive version (scaled to the same size) in it and it will alter the colour to the nearest value in the pallet.

I like it. The steering wheel looks a little "narrow", though. But I figure if you stretch it, interpolation will make it look strange, so it's probably better that way.

[KyLiE]

Something like that ?

Yes, except I think the right air vent should point down as well and the steering wheel is definitely too narrow.
