That's some very nice work! Is it on a standard model or is it a custom one imported with SOAP's importer?

Thanks for the comments. The car was created using 3dsmax and photoshop. Still has got some bugs in the game, but as I read before, its caused by beta version of the importer.

Here is the viewport shoot from 3dsmax, you can see there a black version of the car:

I have a question to ask you, fellow 3ds modeler -

Did you boolean (or pro-boolean) the wheel wells? Or did you actually make them yourself?


But otherwise, this has to be the BEST custom model so far for Driver. The beta Buick was good, but this is even better! Very nice textures.

I simply use cut tool for wheel arches.

Well, I know that but I wanted to keep it simple, If somebody wants to install this car without necessary knowledge. Its still beta for testing, Final will have versions for all the cities.

I have a simple complaint to make: THE BLACK FIREBIRD DOESN'T HAVE THE LOGO! I'm saddened...

I've been wondering - Is this your own Trans Am? Or are these Google pictures?

Yes, I used this picture to keep the 'Driver' style texture. I can also paint my own textures, but it will not fit into the game style.

Well this texture style isn`t used only in Driver. Midtown Madness, Test Drive and Need for Speed uses the same style.
After all, you made good work "mk2"!. I`m looking forward to find more good model and texture mods like this and Dr. Doom`s excellent Ford Mustang from MM2 :)

I'm going to go ahead and make one (or try to at least). It will only be the brown one at first, since I have to rearrange the textures. It will also have a few more faces and verticies in order to properly make crunch zones (but not too many).
