I would like to learn to make mods and contribute

[Daniel Alexander]

Hi everyone, I would really like to learn how to make my own car mods for the game and help contribute more cars for everyone to enjoy for free and am hoping someone can point me to the tools I need to convert the models for cars for TDU and how to do it. 

Thank you

Applaud for the effort

Feel free to use any 3D software like Blender or 3D Max if you want doing 3D modeling from scratch.
If you won't do it this way, you need a model from another game or a bought 3D model to work with.
At least you need zModeler, because of the TDU file format.

There were several howtos at Youtube from Minime or Combat Shotgun, but I think, they were gone.

That for your first information ...  and 3D modeling is a way harder, than you perhaps think.

Thanks! I made a 3d model of a car using auto desk inventor before, I’m hoping that experience will help me. I’ll see if I can find those how to videos, if anyone has links to any of those videos please post em up

Are you still there ?

If not, I just reply for every people reading the forums. 

COMB@T_$HOTGUN made an awesome detailed tutorial a few years ago. Link is still working !

One simple guy who was just really motivated for converting car models into TDU (Pator5) learned a lot from these tutorials and managed to release some great mods like the Ferraris 250 GT Lusso and California. Anyone who have time to spend, lots of motivation and patience can make a car.

And if someone is starting something but need support, there is my thread for that where we support each other:
