My virtual Vehicross Project.

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’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.

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!

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.
