Thank you dinktheboss. You're post make me very happy. This is the kind of post that give us new motivation to continue our work, and make it better. Just as I thinked to stop modding... Thank you!

Do you want 3D real life scanned models of a California or a 3D model that was modelled by a professional using pictures?

 

F.Y.I, the 3D scanned model of the California is on the Xbox. ;) The only difference is the fact that in TDU2 there are blinkers and you can lift the roof up and put it back down, which you can't do in TDU1.

The models of forza 3 are not 3d scan models.

There's a "real life" measurement of some cars: they put some main lines on the car and they enter the position of the cross points. This is a very accurate method but that is not 3d scanning.

A professional made the 3d mesh with pictures and the mesures... You can easily see on the video of the FM3-veyon that the 3d mesh is more complicated than the stripes they put on the real car... Stripes made a too simple mesh that made appear angles in a 3d game.

Plus... I don't think they use this technic on all car in the game, because it's more, more, more expensive than indian modelers they use.

Don't forget it, in 2010 there's always a human behind a 3d model. Don't forget it when you stole it. ;)

Meybe The Owner will come by and re-upload it again.... :oook:

I am the owner of the model...

OMG Peugot 205 :drool::drool: did u think about 106 or 306 ?? It could be great to drive 1 of these aswell :rolleyes::rolleyes:

I know that kennybzh prepares a 306... I don't know any mod about 106, but if you like peugeots, I prepare a 504 coupe too.

The mod is technically incompatible with TDU today...

Any re-release are not planed yet and no authorization allowed.

But I prepare a 3d model of peugeot 205 GTI, that could be the opportunity to make a GTI pack with new versions of R11 turbo(yes, versionS because originally I made 4 R11 turbo[83 coupe - 84 sedan - 88 coupe & sedan])

Verify hierarchy of your car model and name, offset and orientation of the dummies. Be sure of concordance between the external model and the cockpit

Take exemple on an original model of the game

I've got a huge Ferrari book, 380+ pages listing every Ferrari from the very first one up to the F-50, and the 365 GTB series is officially listed as the Daytona by Ferrari, it's not a name given by the fans. From the book . . .

 

"It was called Daytona in memory of Ferrari's triple success in this classic American 24 hour event, built for freedom and adventure."

If it's in your book, it's probably because the car can be identigfied easily with this(there are a lot of Ferrari 365 (365 GTB/4 - 365 GT4 - 365 California - 365 GT 2+2 - 365 GTC - 365 GTC/4...) ). It doesn't mean that it's a official name.

And I've books too, that explain this things.

The unofficial Daytona name is reported to have been applied by the media rather than Ferrari themselves and commemorates Ferrari's 1-2-3 finish in the February 1967 24 Hours of Daytona with the 330P4.

The Daytona name may have been used initially as a pre-production internal denomination, but was never the model's official name.

Source:wikipedia

Continuing the tradition of berlinetta Ferrari, the apocryphal name of Daytona was given to 365 GTB / 4 by reference to the victory of red cars at the 24 Hours of Daytona in 1967. Just as the 250 GT was named "Tour de France" after its successes in the french race .

The choice of the island for TDU2 could be IBIZA... If the physics are realistic it will be fun as you know how balearic's roads are slippery ... Fun, or not ;)

There is a bug with your mesh...

You must have some points attached to the wrong face.

Cool video, and the song is so "miami vice" style (Sonny theme?)

Hope someone will redo some epic scenes of the tv show with daytona countach and testarossa(512 TR if nothing better) ;)

The problem with this kind of site is that in fact these models are not free but simply stolen(a lot of my models have been stolen by this way). The best way to have a free model is to contact a modeler that have ever made the car for an other game and ask him the authorizations and an open model, or to investigate to know who is the real author.

So be careful with the free 3d sites.

Excellent work, just as ever.

And if you are good, 130 000 is OK for all the exterior 3dg with high textures quality.

What? How is it possible? But...but... Tool831 is the best! That's all we can read on his threads. Do you mean... YOU ARE BETTER ???? Does it mean that when you write "no bug known", that's because there is no bug and not that you don't test it ?

Good luck Ten. From where comes the 3d Model? Are you sure to have authorisations to convert it?(The way you consider the work of Oleg on Zmodeler2 give to me some doubts, but I'm surely wrong)

It's beautifull, thank you Leadfoot[YT] and nice drive by Ryzza5

It was never called Daytona... by Ferrari, but by fans to celebrate the victory in 24h daytona 1966 or 1967... I don't remember.

@VanquishHH: thank you very much. This is the kind of message that put my motivation at the top.

Some Daytona have the horse on the grille, some others have not, I decide to not put it one because statisticly most of daytona don't have it.

the next projects

My next project that will be release is a "pack" of Citroën DS(end of modelization expected at the end of March).

Peugeot 504 coupe/cabriolet are still in progress, just as matra 530.

I want to make an Alfa romeo to celebrate the 100th anniversary

Well, I ever said that Ferrari BB(365 GT4 more than 512 - 2CVSuperGT prefers cars before 1975) will be my next Ferrari. Today I can't tell you any date for the beginning of its modelization

Well, no Ferrari planned for the mods in progress, but the next Ferrari for me will be BB365 GT4 or BB512.

Wait and see ;)

You probably don't talk about 2CVSupergt's cars. His only car of january was Ferrari 365 GTB/4 '68, and I'm pretty sure that this car don't make any crash with the auto installer. Same thing for the suzuki gsxr. We made several days of tests with each mod we release that include installation tests and uninstallation tests

If you have probs with auto installer, it's due to a bad usage, for sure it is not necesseraly your fault. Maybe the modder don't make it properly or did you use the wrong auto installer for the wrond use. By example, Tool831 give various choice of installations for the same cars, but some of them don't work online. I think you must post you're request to the author of the mod

PS: Think to visit http://www.oahucars-unlimited.com, maybe is there a new car released ;)

^ ALWAYS, and I mean ALWAYS do manual install. Its really not that hard.

You probably don't realize it, but manual install or body swap on recent mods that are very more complicated than some months ago, make bugs with these ones. Today the new steps in modding are availble by sharp and deep manipulations in the game. If you make a manual install you probably miss main features that the modders do(and it will be more real in several day just as Djey achieve his new step for the Ferrari 365 GTS/4)

Do you really think we could easily have two new slots available with manual installation?

On each install, the installer generate log files that show you precisely every step of modification and can help its author(author of the mod or Djey by example) to diagnostic the reason of the crash

The secret colors are the four colors hidden(the third line in the paint shop).

For the '68 it makes appear a stripe all around the car

For the '72, a grey front part (like the first daytona with pop up lights that was to remain the perpex lights)

Does someone found the secret paints?? ;)

http://damscoq.free.fr/vice_city/tut.../zmodeler.html is for Zmodeler1

But all the others must be valid(more or less) for all versions of Zmodeler2.

I used ZM2 from 2.0.6 to 2.2.2 and I did not see very important changes(there are minor changes, like new filters or default option settings, that don't really change the use or the way of modelization)

Very good model, accurate exterior, interior let see some polygons on the steering wheel but not enough to not be excellent. Some textures(the rear side with "diablo") are a little bit too small(too pixelized), but the complete model is ok.

But there's some bugs, the windows go through the door when they're down, the interior camera can't be used to drive easily, and the head of hitch hickers go through the roof.

A good mod for a very pretty car, and perfect if you don't have a passenger, don't touch the windows and don't use interior cam.

This kind of votes is always cruel. A lot of mods this month are very good with a lot of investement by their authors. The fact that there's no vote, or not enough doesn't mean their work is not appreciate. I particularly think about the dauer and the nazca that looks very accurate.
