Quick edit of an old S1 pic of Extreme and Sudo in South City.

I cant run LFS at the best quality(but I will soon) so my shots arent the best but..

If ppl wanna pay 1500$ for an Xbox, then I dont really see a problem with ppl selling them for that much, more power to them if there are ppl willing to spend the money. I think ill just spend my 1500$ on a new pc...., no wait, I dont have 1500$, oh well guess ill just have to keep this machine an play my PS2 when I wanna get away from the pc(I work on pc so sometimes after a long day of work LFS just isnt an option)

Thanks for the link Boris, ddl`n the vids now. I just watched 1 and its awsome, just the type of stuff I am lookin for. Dont understand a word thats said or printed but thats cool, sweet engine noise is engine noise no matter what the language.

Animation course at Compucollege here in Newfoundland Canada. I really wanted to learn 3D and this course is the only thing close around here. We do classical animation, life drawing, all that stuff, but all I really want out of it is the Photoshop, illustrator, and Maya. I hope to take some other 3D Modeling and Dynamics courses for Maya and maybe Max since thats what I wanna focus on, cause the course im in is geared toward the animation mostly, most projects we just have to make premade models move and act cool, we can make our own(I usually do) for the projects but it really cuts down on the time factor(model, rig and animate in the time we are given to just animate)

Man, thanks for all these links guys, Ive done nothing for the past few days but download and watch racing vids. Does any1 know where to find some good FIA GT vids, Ive been searching for a while but all I get is GTR game footage, or small 15-20sec vids from a select few team websites and you cant ddl em you can just watch.

Hmmm... this is a tough 1
in no particular order:

Toyota Supra(white)
Merc SL500(black)
`06 Mitsubishi Eclipse(orange)
Range Rover
Yamaha R1 or GSXR1000
Ferrari Modena
BMW M5
88 Mustang GT
porb the Merc sl500 again in silver
an a VW Bug for the wife

Wow Ive been playing games so long that is hard to come up with just a few. I remember that my first system was the orig. atari and it cost 320$, holy god, does the xbox 360 even cost that much, boy how the times have changed. I guess the most influential games would have been:

anything with a car or bike to drive, all started by Pole Position, and Excite Bike

the Mortal Combat arcade game(I remember me an all my friends would leave school at dinner time on friday to go to the mall to play that for hrs till the mall closed, then we would go get drunk, wake up sat. to do it all over again, stupid ass teenagers)

and probably Doom, it got me hooked on shooter games and was pretty much the first pc game I ever played, and it also had a real cool Star Wars mod(or was that Doom2)

Well tutorials are really good for learning but yeah you kinda have to know how to use the program first. Your best bet is to find a book on the fundamentals of the prog you use and try to learn it abit first. I use Maya and there is just so much stufff to know and so many ways to do things. Like Nuse said, a tutorial will tell you to "extrude a face" or "circular fillet these two faces" or 1 of many other things, but you have to know how to do those things first b4 you start the tut.

7mil haha, ur nuts. The front fender should be not prob to fix but yeah the back looks like it goes up quite a bit but it is exact to the blueprints. My first time using nurbs to model so just getting used to them, its way diff than polys. Oh yeah, Im a Maya user, but I may switch to Max if I can get a copy for half cheap.

This is also gonna be in an animation sometime if I can ever get it fixed an completed, so again going for low polys(well as low as can be)

BMW Z4, still alot of work to do on this 1. This is only about 3-4 hrs work(which is alot for me)

Wow man those glasses are sweet looking.

Yeah it was just a quick render, gonna do an interior for it(a basic 1 but 1 none the less) also gonna make new rims for it, those are the rims from my RX-8 just twice as many spokes, the poor truck dosent even have any tail pipes. As for the scene, it will all be changed, Ill make a nice show room or something. The truck is not gonna be a nice city ride anyway, I made it for my off-road animation. Not sure what the poly count is, havent looked yet but yeah I am trying to keep it low.

Well I really like what the devs come up with so just more of anything they give us is great, all their cars look like pieces of alot of real cars so you can pretend that your driving whatever you wish. But as for real cars Id really like to see something 4door like an m5 or an Audi, also something sleek like the new eclipse or RX-8 would be awsome(Im all for the T.B.O class cars) some go-karts for the autocross and the beast in the pic would just rock, I just think its the most evil looking car ever(yeah I saw the Top Gear episode)

Wow Nuse that ferrari is lookin real nice. Here are a few pics of my Range Rover, its still not done but Ive been working on my RX-8 scene.

Here are a few Ive done, the mazda was my first ever and the Range Rover is still a very far from finished wip(just put together for a quick render) Done in Maya 6.0

also got parts of a skyline and an M3 done somewhere

Unemployed 2d/3d animator here. Working more towards 3d modeling and texturing but will take whatever comes along right now. Also working on a little game idea I have, but thats gonna take a while to figure out.

Yeah you really need to keep the signs and rails the orig colors, but the sand looks much better in the latter pics.

If you change the tiredark(I think thats the 1) file in the .cfg text it makes the racingline more visible by darkening the tire marks that are always in game in the corners. Or at least it did in S1, havent tried in S2.

P-p-p-party, what the hell is that,......been way too long. I think thats goes for most of us dads.

I guess my line would go something like, "Well I did some 3d modeling for work, played with my son, then the wife came home from work..." and I got a funny feeling that the conversation would end somewhere around that point lol.

Couple more.

Went to the TargaNewfoundland(link in 3rd post) car show last night, some real nice cars there, pretty much the only race that happens in this part o` the world so I couldnt wait to get there, the pre-lim races start today but its pouring rain an I dont really wanna take my son out in it, mayb if it clears off a little ill go see the second stage.
Here r some pics from last night.

Quote from Roadie :

the one problem with that is that the brake discs dont spin.

With what, the brakes dont spin with the stock texture either, its just for screenshots. If ur driving slow enough to notice non-spinning discs then I think its time to stop driving the UF.

I choose porche because the brembo logo is on about 1/3 of all skins floating around here, I should know, Ive done enough. A friend of mine has porche calipers on his 96 eclipse and thats not a porche. I never said ya had to use em, would you like some brembo 1`s. Hmm I never thaugh, Whats LFS brake sponsor? Time to change ma brakes again=)

Here are the brake pads and discs that I made. There was a thread for everything else so I guess we can put brake mods here.
