Hi, I'd like to know what the best 2003 carshape is, as I'd like to make my EJ13 fit one. I'm not after just the best looking one, but also one that doesn't distort the carskins too much. Also, do you know if someone has make an EJ13 one?

Failing that, could someone explain how to use the carshape editor so I could make one myself, thanks.

Wow.. that is great work. I will have a bash and see if I can get the EJ13 to look right on it.

Do you know the differences needed to make the skin fit... for example any differences in the places that the panels meet. Or do I have to find that stuff out for myself?

Anyway, if I do get it to look right, can I add the shape to my carset?

Thanks

To Mario B jr: is there any possibility of putting some front antennas on the carshape or could you or anybody the coordinates and how to put that on the carshape?

Sorry my poor English :p

MarkWS, thank you!

Jordan Fan, to make the skin fit to the shape...
You have to edit the polygons proportionally to the polygons of the original shape. I mean...
If a original polygon is 200x300 and if you want to enlarge it, you could do it this way, adding 10%:

220 x 330

Just a example! ;)

So, the polygon is now bigger and the skin won't be distorted.

But this is the MY REAL SECRET:
:)
Real tyres are 660mm in diameter. GP3 tyres are 1110 points in diameter.
So...
660 mm = 1110 pts
0,594 mm = 1 pts

My shape is based on the F2003GA's measurements:
Length: 4545 mm
0,594 mm = 1 pts
4545 mm = 7651 pts (more or less)

It's also based on the 2003 technical regulations...
The max width of the car is 1400 mm
0,594 mm = 1 pts
1400 mm = 2356 pts (1178 each side)

Using this equation you're able to develop any formula car... all you need is the measurements! I'm willing to develop old shapes (80's?), but I don't have the measurements, nor the technical regulations :(

Oh, yeah, sure, you can add the shape on your carset. Just add the original txt file too and gimme the credits :)

Addicted... I can do that, I can also add the mirrors (but I hate that ugly black mirrors). But the lower part of the rear suspension will desapear...

Thanks guys

See ya

Maybe I can develop a Jordan shape.

See ya
