This is a college assignment i just finished, over a two year period we are developing an action racing game with the unreal engine (modding, not licensing )

well anyway, our first task was to design our own vehicles from our own written concepts, showing explanation of how you made it blah blah all that useless crap.

As you would expect, i went crazy with my design, picked a banged up car (vauxhall nova ) and gave it some stupid design, in this case, a blimp, so that it may fly...

and a minigun to defend itself



the really funny thing about this is that they aren't even expecting peoples final results to even be UV mapped, textured or even take the basic shape concepts of a car, despite it being for a game, they don't really even care about a polycount, 90% of the class being beginners.

even if this wasn't needed, i could never turn down creating a nice (i think so ) model.

and yup, its missing wing-mirrors

a low-res spin around if anyone's interested:

Amazing, that's all I can say about it. It looks amazing (perhaps you could use it in FPSCX10?)

Very good my friend, crap car, flight attachments and a gatling gun, well I suppose not everybody can afford a Harrier jump jet for your aero fighting needs. If only I had your texturing skills, my work would be more adequate.

Well it'll probably need a run up to fly and land, so I can why it needs to drive.

hehe Jon, this is a pure delight to see
Looks like a cross of steam-punk and modern-age. As always, awesome texturing work!

And hey, don't be so ahead of your class that students start dropping out with a bad case of an inferiority complex

edit: Just looked at your UV map again. Whoa!!! This is simply too clean and perfect!!

thanks guys, was really fun to make, some other guys had a laugh too, i was going to have a beefed up midget on the front operating the minigun and rotating the "propeller" but didn't really want to sacrifice more time.

@ hessiess

the design wasn't really meant to look completely functional, more a less a compilation of novice mechanics (the tape for instance )

but yeah as i mentioned, a midget was going to rotate it or pedal it somehow, on the front of the car, but time was running out. Lets just say the boxy thing on the top bolting it to the car has some sort of engine in it

Quote: "perhaps you could use it in FPSCX10?"


i could use it in the current fpsc, as a flying character. i could remove the minigun and put a firespot there so people can assign their own weapons

as you can tell from the video, the basic animations are done, so i could very well whack this thing into fpsc for a laugh

Quote: "If only I had your texturing skills, my work would be more adequate.
"


all these comments on my texturing are very nice, but there is more ease to it than most think, i will try to record one of my texturing sessions when i have the time.

Quote: "Well it'll probably need a run up to fly and land, so I can why it needs to drive."


its one of those 'crazy driving games' where your driving most of the time and use special abilities at chances. the ability to fly could be a speed boost or merely a dodge action.

Quote: "And hey, don't be so ahead of your class that students start dropping out with a bad case of an inferiority complex"


lol

Quote: "I wonder, where did you get the idea from? Or was it just a random thought."


chavs basically how the people i live around seem to think these old cars are amazing, and want to modify them to look even more boxy and stupid. so i thought about applying crap modifications of novice engineering to a crap car.

no offense to anyone who thinks modding these sort of cars is a good use of money

I think he means the title, 'EVAR!' but I thought that was just you in a silly mood, hence the title name as well.

Awesome work jon. I'm suprised that they (your professors) wouldn't expect more of you...especially since you are in a college class. Any ways, awesome work as always, Jon.

You're a genius.

Oh wow...... Just after I posted this I went back to the main forum... and I was the most recent poster in all the FPSC forums and all the General forums (3d, 2d, programming and design)

Their standards are pretty much very low, providing that most applicants came in not even knowing what a 3d model was. not the most challenging course but needed to advance. it seems Uni's are only impressed by pieces of paper saying your smart.

the bump reminded me that i should get this model in fpsc for testing, it would be a nice to show my lecturers.

i'm expecting cup holders... anyways, sweet model. it reminds me of those indie-style animations that i watch (until i become to confused) if there's anything lacking, itsgonna be twin propellers, thus allowing the "vehicle" to turn.

PS: does it work in space

It's very nice, based on your own car?

I thought 2x2048 textures was a bit big, it'll probably have a long load time, just nit picking
