Volvo skins

Greetings.

I was wondering if any experienced graphic artist could design some Volvo skins for LFS? Both exterior and interior skins would be very much appreciated.

Oh, less experienced people feel free to contribute with your skins aswell

Also I've been trying to find sounds for a volvo v70/xc70/s60 but just can't find any, if you happen to have some volvo soundfiles please share them

There is not much point doing such skin as there are no single body shape that would resemble those cars even remotely, at best it would look just silly, imo

Would need to find 850/v70 T5 engine sounds in wav format for my one project for other game, impossible to find anything usable.

In LFS you really can't alter sounds that way, maybe with LFS tweak you could make 5 cylinder engine and start working with that, but don't know if it is possible to come even close.

lol, I made this skin for the FXO ages ago so my girlfriend could drive around at 30mph when she`s bored. It`s as close as I could get to her beloved `97 S40.

I started the interior last week for something different to do, but it was taking forever to adapt to the rather horrible interior model (there`s a load of gaps, overlapped edges and strangely shared textures, not to mention how the lighting works on internal surfaces

) so I haven`t got round to finishing it. I`ll get round to it eventually.

The only other volvo skin I`ve seen around was an 850 btcc skin for the FXR. Can`t remember where I saw it tho.

Cheers.

I`ll be posting the interior when it gets finished, but here`s the skin. It`s already uploaded to LFSW.

Cheers.

I made this a few months ago. It's not 100% relevant but I thought you might like to see it anyway

Quote from LFSn00b :/me pees on a volvo

You should reconsider this seriously as there are over 30 finnish Volvo lunatics racing LFS on my private server (Volvolandia), you really would like us to visit you some day in terms baseball? (I do think someone did say something about chains)

I am a volvo racer IRL, and in LFS
all my cars now are volvo- nothing better than A Turbobrick or a Rorty Amazon!
