Hmm, not a huge fan. In the ute/pick up world there is nothing that can compare to the original VE Maloo. Pure win.:thumbsup:

TDUFREAK Nice SLS. They are growing on me... superhyper I am most jealous of your snow...great shot. Kelvjy Different. But I like it. Nice atmosphere. And shoe.:cheeky: Thought it was time for something a bit more...Australian!:thumbsup:

Just some more shots. Can't get the Zenvo interior to work for the life of me. It's driving me insane....:taz: http://i799.photobucket.com/albums/yy271/MarcusG2009/th_20110313154528.jpg http://i799.photobucket.com/albums/yy271/MarcusG2009/th_20110319202904.jpg http://i799.photobucket.com/albums/yy271/MarcusG2009/th_20110319202951.jpg

Croak.:hello:

I actually prefer the Exige/old Esprit/Evora to that. Just. One of those in grey with orange detailing would be pretty hard to go past...:thumbsup:

I'm a huge Lotus fan. Favourites would be the S2&3 Elise/Exige, Evora, and old Esprits. Black S2 Exige is virtually 100% perfect. You can keep your Porsches...:D

Happy Birthday! Go wild! :bparty:

Cluttered and plain is usually how mine ends up:cheeky: http://i799.photobucket.com/albums/yy271/MarcusG2009/Desktop2.jpg

Cause any old idiot can have a hatchback...:cheeky: http://i799.photobucket.com/albums/yy271/MarcusG2009/VWCoupe.jpg

What's to ruin?:cheeky: I must agree, the Mansory job is even worse. Truly hideous. Dunno what came over Gumpert with this new car. The Apollo was never beautiful as such, but it did look great in a kind of mad way.

Another great sunset Criss! Love that grey LP640 Tom. Think that would be how I would've ordered one. And watch out for the crocs in the grass Kelv:cheeky:The washed out colours in the shots work really well. Some shots I got at an Italian Car Day here. 360 by Marcus-G, on Flickr Lamborghini Gallardo SE by Marcus-G, on Flickr F40 by Marcus-G, on Flickr F430 Spider by Marcus-G, on Flickr GT by Marcus-G, on Flickr

Something a little bit...GERMAN! Can't wait for the new Dropkick Murphys album!:thumbsup:

FlameDogg gets my vote. I fixed up a tune last night but I hadn't read the deadline for entries! I really do need to learn how to read...:fp::rofl: Here is what I had done (hope people dont mind if I put it up just to for people to see):) Looking forward to next week! http://i799.photobucket.com/albums/yy271/MarcusG2009/th_TunedSClass.jpg

And not exactly a car ad, but related to cars Can't get the damned embedded thing to work...

You will indeed need Zmodeler. 2 ways that I know of to get a vinyl. First is if you want images to be put on the car (such as sponsors ona race car) you will need to make/get a texture of the images. Then UV map it onto the area of the car you want it on. If you want more images rinse and repeat. You can have either all the images in a single texture or in several different ones, or anywhere in between. With them all on a single texture they may not be of the highest quality, but with them all seperated you might not be able to fit them all into the bnk file without removing textures that are needed for the headlights, grills, etc. You will not be able to change the colour of these vinyls in game at the paint shop though. Another way to make vinyls is to have them as a paintable section. Here you would create a plane/series of planes over top of the existing car mesh in zmod so they are a little bit above the cars body panels. Have a look at cars that are already 2 tone in game, such as the Maserati MC12. In the materials section there will be a PAINT texture and a PAINT2 texture from memory. Most cars will only have the PAINT texture as they are not 2 tone, but if you create a PAINT2 then in the deluxe paint shop you will be able to change the second colour. After doing either of these then export the model from Zmod and replace it in the bnk with the Modding Tools (make sure you back everything up though!). If you have used custom textures you will have to replace them in the bnk as well, making sure that type of dds (DXT1,DXT5,etc) match between the original and the replacement. Hope that all makes at least some sense!:cheeky:

In the last 2 or 3 days I have suddenly stopped being able to connect to the TDU servers. Anyone else been having similar problems or is it just my computer/interwebs fail? Any ideas on how to fix it if it is? Been working for months with no problems. Running 1.66a with no megapack. Thanks in advance!:)

Well, it has been a while since last update. In fact, it had been a while since I last had enough motivation to even think about finishing this...:( Decided that it needs doing, and so have been finishing off my interior model. Started with a dashboard with no dials or anything really, some very low poly gallardo seat and a flappy paddle shift system. Things have progressed and I have now almost finished the interior. Thought I just post up a pic for everyone who is hoping for this to get finished (though anyone who was holding their breath is probably dead by now!:eek::cheeky:). Need to finish the door panels and add some detail to the seats, and hopefully I'll have a working GPS too! The in game pic is still with the old interior;) Hope everyone likes, and hopefully I will get this thing released in the next month or so!

Ferrari has really lost it... First they ruined the 430. Now they have ruined the 612 (never though I'd hear myself say that!). If they screw up the 599 or the California I'm going to have to intervene. Pagani hasn't done much better with the Huayra. Hopefully Lamborghini can show them the errors in their ways though...:thumbsup::cheeky:

Blackwood River in Augusta. It's on the south coast of WA.;)

Those 3D pics are very interesting indeed. Saw it done a while ago somewhere with a Lotus Espirit. Seems to work very well.:) As for SBCriss, you really have got those sky shots worked out. Amazing as usual!:thumbsup: Those V8V shots aren't overdone at all Tom. All looks pretty natural this end. Stunning subject too...:cool: Here's my latest effort, re edited a shot from a few years back. Liked how it turned out this time round quite a lot.:)About the only time for the whole week I was down there it wasn't insanely windy!

Great shots people! Got a bunch of shots from down at Esperance on the south coast of WA. Unfortunately I can only get 1024 width on the panoramics cause I has no Flickr pro...:cry::cheeky: That is enough spamming for now I think...;)

No Lambos, no purchase. Well very little chance of purchase. Not happy, list could've and should've been way better...:rolleyes:

If you can export to .3ds from blender then you can import that .3ds to Zmod I think.

Some more panning shots from the Festival of Speed. I'm not quite sure how I feel about them, sometimes I look and love them, other times I hate them. Bit too much blur on all of them probably. Colours still seem a problem to me, stupid Australian sun!:lol::cheeky: Will get a polarising filter when I get a proper lens for my setup. Apologies for the spamming!

Dunno if you people heard about it but Perth had the Australian Festival of Speed yesterday. Think Goodwood without the really epic cars. And hotter. Like 40 degrees hot!:cheeky: That said, Mark Webber and Daniel Ricciardo in the Red Bull F1 car was pretty awesome...the sound that things make is something else:eek: Was hoping to get more photos from it up by now, but I can't seem to get the colours to look any good. First time I've ever properly tried panning, ended up with some okay shots I guess.
