2002 Mod [W.I.P.]. Updated 11/08/2010

Yeah I can do the williams too

great news Hades, surely a big help for painters

Yeah, its a bit more work for me but less for painters. Hopefully my method of making everything 3d will work great in gp4 :P Anyway I'll open my workthread in a few days as I plan to make more cars from other seasons. I'll also need some time to figure how everything works as I didn't do cars for gp4 before or better to say I didn't import any car in gp4 before.

As soon as the F2002 and Williams shapes are ready, send them over to me by pm and i'll make a start. Do you want individual GP liveries? I am more than happy to do that for both cars.

Thanks,
Iain.

Ok, its a deal. Do you also do mapping? I have no problems with individual liveries but I do not feel motivated to make specific GP shapes. Maybe only Monza because its a unique one.

I think to begin with a generic and Monza shape will do

Yeah, a generic and low downforce should do it mate. I don't do mapping im afraid Don't know how...

Thanks,
Iain.

mmm let me guess

you cut the shape where there are the bodylines?

Yeah of course but its not so simple as it sounds. Its not so easy to make them look good and I also have to see how it will look after smoothing in gp4. Finally I have to see how many more polys will be needed for 3d bodylines and bolts.

i remember that Oggo's cars have those kind of details(1993 cars too),and it's really fantastic

Can you send me a link for one of those cars. I'm interested to see how it looks like

look at ferrari 93but i think he made it via zmodeler

I don't see it on shape, and template has painted bodylines.

on ferrari 93 i saw it.look at the wireframe

My GPGSL Career

Nope still nothing, all I see is some detached vertices but not full 3d bodylines.

I've done 3D bodylines on my 1996 cars, and on my latest Tyrrell - but none of them are released yet, just waiting on the paint job. I think they work great on less complex shapes from the 90's and earlier, but in Zmodeler anyway, it gets a bit more complicated with more modern cars. If you have a good technique I'd like to know how

I think with 2002 cars should work well. Surely not on 2010 like cars, polycount would be very high.

I think it can work on all cars even on 2010 cars. Its just more time consuming on newer cars.
@fongu
I think tonight I'll try to make them on FW26, to see how it looks like. If my idea works then it shouldn't take more then 1 hour to make them on whole car. I can show you how I do them if it all goes well

If you want to see one of my cars, just let me know

I'm really interested to see how you did it fongu.
Anyway I just did a 5 min job and you can see on screenshots what's the result. Please remember its a very quick job and just to demonstrate idea, it should be much more refined when I do it on final product.
I learnt 2 more things while working on this. First is that it is not hard to make those bodylines and its not too much time consuming and second is that it does require only small amount of polys. So it can be done for example even on 2010 cars.
