My virtual Vehicross Project.

Not sure what ever happened to the one I handed over to the DARPA guys. Hope they got some use out of it.

I did one years ago in StudioMax but never went back to actually make it compatible for some racing game mod use. I still have the files but no longer have a copy of Max for home use. Talk though work about getting home licenses and if that happens, consider it DONE. I REALLY want to be able to put a VX into Dirt2.

That is cool, Richard. So, you obviously have the VX diagram from the Japanese brochure imported, and then what do you do? Do you just lay a wire frame over it and then move the vectors around to get the right 3 dimensional angles?

It would be really awesome if we could get a full 3-d model of the VX made that we could use for part identification. Like, when someone asks where the fill port on the tranny is, we could just refer to a number and run a little program that shows the 3D VX and where everything is located.

That would be sweet.

Of course, getting a VX into a video game would be even better. I so desperately wanted my VX in MotorStorm!

PS - Can you make a VX in Little Big Planet? That would be reason enough to buy the game!

Yeah a VX in MotorStorm would be awesome!!!!! Oh and if you are really good and have a steady hand then yes you could make the VX in LittleBigPlanet.

That’d be cool if you could post a copy of that model. You can download Zmodeler2 for free and it has the ability to export to 3ds and multiple game formats.

The sky the limit! Yeah, I used the blueprint method by placing the vectors over the blueprint then moving them to the correct location. I haven’t seen a plugin for LBP yet.

"Looks good, but looks tedious!" says the drafter... How many hours you got in that so far?

“It took 4hr’s so far. But I like doing stuff like this.” Says the DB engineer.

[vt_maverick]

Better yet you could create a topless VX and objectively test its structural stability.

[kodiak]

Ok, 4hrs later this is what I have so far. I’m trying to keep the polygon count down for better game performance.

Sweet!!!!!!!!

"Don't forget to make it yellow too!"

That's PROTON Mr. Zeus.

"add some big meats and trim out the fenders!"

& get the wheel offset right!!!

[kodiak]

Thanks! Yeah I have a lot more to do before I get to that point. I have the model setup so you can change the color with a slide of a color bar. I’m going to make it completely stock at first then add mods and accessories that can be toggled on and off then exported.
