I apologize for any writing mistakes in the vids. Feel free to ask if you couldn't catch up with the vid.

 

Enjoy modding!

[Eudemon]

This is amazing and something I have wanted for so long. During the next week I'm going to start scrapping the old and dead and bringing to the front the new and useful.

[The Compensator]

So I think we'll see many mods coming out this year thanks to TDUZoqqer (and Minime who's done a few vids, too, although for TDU2). :nods:

[Radu-Cristian]

i have made 2 cars for TDU with tutorials for TDU2 :)

i wonder.. is it really necesary to crop and mirror thoseparts? why not mirror whole body? and flip pivots afterwards?

[TDUZoqqer]

it's for saving space in the BNK. If I wouldn't mirror the parts, I could work only with LOD2, with the mirror methode you are able to work with all the details you got. But I will explain that a bit more detailed in part 2

OMGMGMGMGMGMGMGMGMGMGMGMGMGMGMGMGMGMGMGMGMGMGMGGMGMMGMGMGMGG I LOVE YOU SOOO MUCH !:rockon:

[Dux]

I am interested in interior mapping part :D

[TDUZoqqer]

Mh don't think this will be a topic in the in the main videos, i'll show that later seperately i think

[Dux]

If you want, it would be nice, if not, then ok. :D

i watched your video but i didnt understand some things well, my monitor is 17" crt so video isnt clear enough, i will watch it later on my acer so things will be clearer :D

The method i know is ok, but i never got the mapping part right, actualy it was never explained to me so i tried on my own and failed every time :D

But, dont get me wrong, thanks for your effort this videos might make some new moders, with nice lod0 mods :D

[Driver:TDU]

:hmmm: Zoqqer, can you explain briefly how the principle of making a half of the car is working in the game? its mirrored into the right side too?

[TDUZoqqer]

Yeah it will be mirrored afterwards. But i will upload a video today which explains it more detailed

[RobikV3]

This is awesome gonna try it one day, could you please list all the programs and plugins needed would be helpful :)

[The Compensator]

It's not a step which has to be followed detailed, as every model is different, but the process is the same. Important is that your model have to look like mine at the end. The step between it is just to show how I did this.

[TDUZoqqer]

Video number 2 posted!

[The Compensator]

...and it doesn't work in the game. >.<

[TDUZoqqer]

???

 

Make sure your exterior is less than 3 MB, or check if you got any objects which have the same name, cant explain that other than that cause i do it always like that

[The Compensator]

Yeah, it's over 5 MB. Dunno why. I don't have any objects with same name. Also, I don't get how can you attach objects together and still be able to select the attached objects. 4:00 mark in your video. I only have the TDU materials in the material selection window.

[TDUZoqqer]

Send me your z3D in PM, I will tell what is wrong

[Krisman10]

Many thanks for this tutorial TDUZ! Now I can finally convert cars as well as making physics for them! ;) Just curious though, does this method work only for cars from Forza? Or can other game formats be done this way also?

[COMB@T_$HOTGUN]

U can use this method on eny car/model u like m8

[Krisman10]

Thanks for that! I was asking because I wanted to convert from TD:FRL. There are 3 cars in that game that I've always wanted to see in TDU. So now I'll have a go at them myself. :)
