Hi everyone!
This is my first post that isn't a question. So anyway I was playing around with Wings3d and i thought i would make sports car. My friend, doesn't play bzflag, bet me ten bucks i couldn't make one. I made one and now i have ten bucks. So i thought why get rid of this car while i can share it. i have posted a few pictures and the .bzw if you want to use it. the size of the the car is a bit big so if you use it in a map scale it down by using a group.

Too bad we stopped working on this six months ago... I had pretty many hours into it... blasterwisconsin helped a lot too.... these are very low poly, 300-500.
I figure each car in the last pic needs 2-4 hours work. The texture map needs fixed, then we need to make an invisible mesh that (more or less) matches the car, that tanks can drive on.
I have a few sets of wheels too...

Take a look at my Defender game mode concept.
Thinking is not an automatic process. A man can choose to think or to let his mind stagnate, or he can choose actively to turn against his intelligence, to evade his knowledge, to subvert his reason. If he refuses to think, he courts disaster: he cannot with impunity reject his means of perceiving reality.

Neat. Where did those models come from?Optic Delusion wrote:Too bad we stopped working on this six months ago... I had pretty many hours into it... blasterwisconsin helped a lot too.... these are very low poly, 300-500.

They are from a (a pretty poor) Grand Theft Auto San Andreas Mod Pack, that I downloaded from a russian site.
I was looking for extremely low poly I wanted less that 1000 polygons per car. The cars in GTA3 all have 3000 or more, so this mod pack was perfect.
They don't have wheels, I had to add them. The wheels have as many polys as the cars.

It's been awhile since i worked on this.. I had to research my own stuff to remember...
It turns out that "Need for Speed" and GTA use the same file format, so these actually came from a NFS site.
http://www.nfscars.net/file/view/highstakes/6230.aspx
Here's what I did to get them this far.
First off... finding some cars that are usable in BZFlag took awhile. Just about every car posted anywhere is too high of a polygon count, I don't want to lag players FPS. I could have one car with 50,000 polygons, and it won't be too bad, but I wanted multiple cars. so I absolutely had to have very low poly counts. These were all under 1000.
The renderware format of the cars is .DFF
The application we used to convert them to obj was ZModeler2. There are plugins for other modelers, but thats what we used. We paid the registration, I think it was $25. It only runs on windows, so that means my mac was out, I got BlasterWisconsin to convert them for me.
They need to be fixed after conversion. The UV-map doesnt make it through the conversion perfectly. Some are a lot better than others. Idunno why.
Next they need to be drawinfo converted using modeltool. A few of them wouldn't make this conversion. Since the time i worked on these, I've learned a bit, and I'm pretty sure I can correct the non-planar faces.
You can't use modeltool's -bounding geometry conversion, you can only use drawinfo because tanks will have an extremely hard time driving on the cars. You gotta make an invisible box that matches the cars contours, except it with perfectly flat tops. We did a couple of these before we quit.
Still, there are no wheels. Those need to be added. Not too hard to do.
I was trying to replicate Tedius' traffic map, with a physics driver that simulates motion of the cars, except in a circular fashion. Upon further study, I don't think that that is even possible without eliminating bounding geometry (cars are drivethrough).
Blast, here's a copy of the author's original readme. I've emailed him several times with no response.
