wip iLLusion: BMW M3 E30

[iLLusion]

Well, to tell the truth, I've always wanted to make my own car mod(s). But, due to some other stuff and projects I've been on, that was just yet another task on my to do list. No more! Few days ago, or to be more exact, on my birthday, I've finally made first steps toward making what will become my very own first car project.

 

Originally, I wanted to make an X5, but along the way decided to make this iconic car first. You'll be happy to hear that first import went okay, and that I've made some progress.

 

So stay tuned, M3 is coming soon!

Some WIP pics posted!

 

If you're interested in every tiny bit of progress I made, you can read all about it in this blog post here.

[iLLusion]

Today I've finished rims and front of the car. Tommorow I'll continue with the back and bottom. I might also post a feature list tommorow.

[iLLusion]

Back of the car is finished. As for the feature list, I have in plan to include custom sound, hud, physics, custom front and back plates, different body kits… you name it, this M3 is going to have it. I’ve post a full feature list pretty soon.

[iLLusion]

I’ve just finished brake and reversing lights (I’m posting just pic of brake lights now though). And nope, I won’t use light_fx at the back. Not sure about front, we will see. And yea, ready to see all the goodies that will come included with this car? It’s coming in my next update, so stay tuned.

[iLLusion]

Time to reveal the feature list! But first thing first, couple of new pics!

 

Pic 01 1280x720

 

Pic 02 1280x720

 

As you can see, I won’t use light_fx aka light flare for front lights neither, cause it looks gazilion times better without it. I’m sure you’re going to agree with me.

 

And here’s yet another shot showing you the brake lights in action.

 

Pic 03 1280x720

 

I’m hoping you’ve enjoyed in those pics, just as I’ve enjoyed making them. I’m quite sure you are going to enjoy even more when you see this list. So, this is what I have in plan to include.

 

The usual stuff like:

-High Poly Rims

-Rims

-Cock_Lr

-Body_Lr

-Working Mirrors

-Working lights

-Working Gauges

-High Poly Interior

-Working Windows

-Working Exhaust

 

Not sure should I loose precious time for this feature since we are going to use it maybe once or twice in the garage:

-Working Doors

 

And this goodies:

-Different interior colors

-Custom HUD

-Custom sound

-Custom pshyics

-Custom vinyls

-Custom front and back plate

-3 body kits (normal, DTM, race)

-4 types of rear spoilers

-Custom vinyls

…

 

I might throw few more extras, but for now, that’s it.

 

Now, TDU2 is closer than ever, so I’ll need some help from you in order to complete some tasks. I would do them by myself, but like I said, we got very limited time to finish this M3 for TDU due to TDU2.

 

Anyway, if somebody is interested, I would really appreciate if somebody could:

 

- make pshyics,

- make sound and

- make hud.

 

Also, I don’t have DTM vinyl nor the other ones, so if somebody could send me those, it would help me a lot. Thanks in advance.

Most of the exterior is now done. Body_LR, mirrors, shadow and working windows are the only thing that are missing. Hopefully, I’ll finish those tasks until the end of this week. Don't forget to check out new screenies. ;)

[iLLusion]

Around 98% of exterior is done. Mirrors and some minor material tweaks are left, so I expect to finish that by tommorow night. Narwhal is going to make M3 phsysics. Also, props to patch for helping me out with working windows.

 

 

While I’ve mention windows, when you want to open them, you’ll notice that only driver window is going down, instead of both. To me, that’s much more realistic than default settings.

 

I’ve added rear window defogger as well.

 

Can’t wait to start my work on the interior!

[iLLusion]

Just a quick update…

 

 

 

As for the sound, Doctor G. is going to give it a try. ;)

[iLLusion]

Except for some really minor interior work, I didn’t worked on anything else specially. I did however experiment with this…

 

Damn, what happened to my roof? :lol:

 

 

 

I’m having doubts on should I add cabriolet version to the feature list. We will see…

 

[iLLusion]

Since TDU2 is closer than ever, and with just 4 days left until release... I'll have to cancel this M3. TDU is obsolete and vast majority of community is going to Ibiza anyway, so there's really no point for me to make mods for TDU anymore.

 

No need for despair, cause this is going to be one of the first car I'll convert to TDU2 once it becomes possible.

 

Thanks for everything, these couple of years were a blast. Cya around Ibiza pretty soon!
