Bogey Jammer, I've imported some wheels and resized it to fit in the car wheel arches but it will not go inside the arch. I dunno how to get the Manipulation tools...Well I dont know what it is...Is it all that scaling and stuff? Right-Click > Spacebar right? If it is then I've tried everything to get the wheel on the car

If you or Anyone can help, it would be great!

make smaller rims then :P

Quote from T.J. :

Lol, then it would look like I'm rollin' on 12" lol

Then make the car and rims bigger

Back to topic. Just get the wheels inside the wheel arch.. Nobody can see if the wheel touches the inside of the arch or not since it is painted black..

Anyone got the patch Z XRT in blend?

Where can i get rims for blender ?

For mapping the GRID cars, check main normal TGA (normal body deformations will show you body parts).
For mapping the NFSC, PS or UC cars, scale body at 66.67% horizontaly, then you'll got 100% scale for mapping, as for LFS models.

airone strikes again. Nice new section. Made my day. Thanks

Really nice! Only thing we need now is some nice engines and a bot more high quality rims

Thx in advance

And we need a noobs guide for the cars badging.

I really like the Grid cars... Looks realy nice since everything is textured.. Great job

File GTI SKIN.TGA and GTI DECALS.TGA for http://aironeracing.ovh.org/NF ... LKSWAGEN%20GOLF%20GTI.zip are good scaled (h=v, here 2048X2048).
Here is the placement for this car: http://aironeracing.ovh.org/NFSPS%20MCLAREN%20F1.zip
Resize images MCLARENF1 SKIN.TGA and MCLARENF1 DECALS.TGA with your favorite picture editor as someting like: v=66.67%h, or h=150%v (actually 2048X2048 => resize for exemple like h3000Xv2000). Then you can paint without rescaling your decals.
The disposition is like this:

HOOD


LEFTSIDE ROOF RIGHTSIDE


TRUNK
Hope it may help...

Ummm but we dont see the parts of the car. For example. Where is the hood? (VW GTi) Well I think is only testing the skin...

And U can made de VW golf of NFS undergrond?

Thx man.

Quote from AirOne :

I won't convert NFSU or NFSU2 cars for now because I loose MatId when converting the cars, and it is very boring to reapply good materials. Next cars will be Lexus IS-F (I'm on it), 370Z, Mégane II and the Special Shelby Mustang.
If you want to find the hood, rename for example BADGING.TGA into SKIN.TGA, then render. You will easily understand the mapping disposition for skinning doing this.

Umm but u can send me the files and I reapply the materials? Realli I need that car.

Good cars man.

i just had to try those grid models

Well, it looks like this is the place to go for help. I have downloaded Blender and have just done a little dabbling over the last couple weeks. I am in need of something that I have not found any interest in, at least in this forum. I am looking for some help with my NASCAR Car Of Tomorrow (C.O.T.) model. I have found someone who finally had one and would let me have it. The problem is the way that they gave it to me doesnt' help. The tires are placed inside the car model and the rear spoiler is the length of the car and going through it. I don't know if this is the result of importing the 3ds file into blender or what. What I am basically wondering is if anyone could fix this for me. I am a member of a NASCAR forum and wanting to help with their renders but I can't find anyone on there to help me.

Any takers?!!?
