My 2 pence, lira, yen or cents.
I have made a couple of cars and a few tracks from scratch. I never figured out how to do a conversion.
Both methods are accetable by most of the racer community and rightly so. It doesn't make any difference how a car is made only that it is to the best of one's ability.
Oh yes! always check the Qlog before releasing them. LOL!
you are welcome boomer! You have a good sense, and do the right criticism. I Like to test and use your projects cause it is like mine, so many details, but isnt to be perfect, but very good. I like it. When you come and say to check qlog, I agree with you, I think qlog is the minimum to check before release, and later I tried to fix all them before putting available. But you can say what you want, you have made so many thing for racer, for ages!!
Back in the NFS4 days, most racing games didn't have very accurate car meshes and the vehicle count in the games was low as well. Community modders spent their effort creating much more detailed and accurate cars and felt rewarded afterwards.
Nowadays, when vehicle artist use 3D scanning and factory blueprints (NFS Shift, Forza3, GT5) creating ever accurate vehicle models, we community modders, have to face that "competition".
So, don't take my statement in the previous page as we should stop modeling and just convert all cars. I'm almost done modeling my new version of the Corvette C6 (along with the ZR1 and high quality interior), will soon start texturing etc.
Modeling cars from scratch is still a very good hobby for me at least!
You are another good person, as I like to call (senior member) who have credits to say, your corvettes, supra are a classics for racer, everybody must have one of your cars in their collection, it is a pleasure to use. As you said, modelling from scratch is your hobby, and mine is convert. I can model, but I dont like it enough to spend so much time modelling one car. But I never saw you saying conversion is crappy, piece of s.hit, blablabla.. and I never said nothing about others cars.. For example, many people here idolizes tiberius cars... well, he spent a time, effort, I can recognize it, never said anything to him in his topics or in msn.. but wast perfect, I have no one from him here in my virtual garage, strange feeling, sound bad fitted.. but it is MY opinion, and I never said to anyone. Just writing here for example.
It may be only a matter of time but still there are still plenty of cars that haven't made it to any simulation yet. Big studios will probably only focus on popular car makes and models. Any new Ferrari or Bugatti would make it to a game or simulation quickly, others are just overseen. The community could concentrate on these. Or maybe they are just overseen by me? Lancia Aurelia, Alfa Giulia Spider, Fiat Multipla, Melkus rs 1000 anyone?
Christian, I can't disagree with you never, because I am a FIAT-alfa fanatic! I miss so much this kind of car in another games!! You are my inspiration!
