Thank you! Those are great ideas Here is the thing though, I am making the car model in Unity, so it is made 100% out of cubes, spheres, capsules, and cylinders. That is a HUGE problem when I am trying to make a detailed model like a car. I have tried a few modeling programs (like Blender), but I can't get the hang of it. If you know of anyone that can do fairly basic 3D models, please let me know! I agree, that would look a bit weird going off of jumps Ok, good! I won't be needing beta testers yet; I am going to wait till Empty City 3D is around 85-90% done.
Alright well I dont know anyone who can do that. You might have to go look for a designer in the dev section for that.
I am downloading a new 3D modeling program, so maybe I will have better luck with that Actually, that is pretty much what they are
Yeah I agree it's good, but I was just offering some suggestions. Hell I couldnt make that if my life depended on it.
lol it actually reminds me of something i would make in spore... wonder if spore can export 3d models, probably not but it is a good 3d editor for the game.
I know this ounds kind of pathetic but they had the same kind of shapes and capabilities in MySims for the Wii. So I may experiment with that and tell you what I come up with. Also for the car design, with the prograam you are using that car is very good. Though you may want to search the davs section for someone that can help you. I think if you want the car to look more realistic you can use pictures of real cars to guide you. Think jaguars, corvettes, ferraris that kind of stuff. If you want more of an RC car type feel, then make it kind off dun-buggy ish with all of the springs and spiked wheels etc. Kind of like this: Good Luck with the game. It is turning out very nicely! BTW when beta-testing is released I would love to be included!
Well, I will see what I can do with this new program. LOL, I don't think that spore would let you export it
Ok, so I learned a few things with my new 3D modeling program and I got a basic car shape done and added to the project. I made it that color so that you can easily see the shape of the model. For some reason, it won't let me put textures on the car, just plain colors. Anyway, here it is, let me know what you think of the new shape!
Well, I hope you kept your old design haha jk I know this wont be the final design. But main thing now is the square shape? Is it even possible to change that in the 3d designing system you're using?
The old design is underneath the new one (because it has all of the physics stuff), but I shrank it a bit The square? Yes, I can change the shape of the square (cube), why?
well, because the car's body looks like a square. Or rectangular prism with curved edges lol. ACtually wait! Normal cars are like that too lol. I think What I'm thinking is that it needs to be thinner. Yeah there we go. By chance have you used Autodesk inventor or CAD?
Ok, how about this? LOL, ok Check out the new one up there ^, what do you think? I actually have used Inventor 10 (maybe 8, it has been awhile)! I used it to try to make a sewing machine for someone, yeah, it never did work out
lol the other angle was better but o well... is that a new texture on the wheels? or is it just from this angle. it looks nice. the brown doesn't work at all for me maybe just a dark blue or something better something that is probably dark edit sorry i don't know why but pressed post before it was done posting
Actually I think my idea was bad Making it look likea car isnt working out with the software you are using. Maybe you should see if inventor works with the cocoa dev thingy (its cocoa right?) It definetly would simplifiy things.
Sorry What angle do you want? Yes, that is the same texture, just moved around I just put in that color randomly, I won't be using it for the final version It was worth a try I don't have Inventor anymore, but I think I may know someone who does... Cocoa Dev thingy? You can call it Unity
