cool 3d f1 and car designs

these are excellent 3d CA designs created with studio max III
and other 3D software...most from Katsumi Sasaki







most of my zmodeler inspiration comes fro these....

Superb. ooh god I must be getting old like an old grandad with his new laptop!! The bottom right pic is taken from which game - these aren't for GP4 right??..

while gp4 is hidden within my conputer( fed up with it) .... i still like using my playstation2 .....65 fps...no worries

formula one 2002 is not the best of games, but its okey

I dont think it is a game, its juist a render, i remember a guy who did some amazing lotus 49, and one that did a williams FW14b, was it this same guy?

Those are truly stunning! And the good news is, graphics like that can be in games with a GeForce FX. Me cant wait

FX should look like that coz it's gonna cost more than your (and mine) PC

I designed the zigzag benetton which is a 1997 Benetton and have it as a 3d max file, see image below. Would anyone be able to convert it over to gp4? Not sure if it needs rebuilding from scratch or if the max file could be used and converted somehow?

You can play with the car and see better images at (go to heritage section and move centre line with mouse:

Can anyone help me to recreate in in GP4?

I NEED those lotus 72's ive seen them before, but it was at as you say a jap site, i lost the address, do you have it?

if you can get that car into ZM format, it can go in gp4 easily, proving we dont have any wheelbase/helmet probs!

MAN! What I wouldn't give to see those Lotuses racing....! I need to get myself some good 1978 footage, because that lotus 79 is HOT!

I think the Japan page was 3dcar.kg as raztahz mentioned but it looks like it down or something. I love those early lotus's.

Thanks, not sure how to get em into zm format as they are in max format .
If I try exporting as a 3ds file, something loads into zm but nothing appears in the viewport windows?

I can send the max file if anyone can help.

Thanks
Baz

This thread should have a warning on it for exceedingly accurate and very good models

Sorry if this is a totally lame question but, can the car shapes from GP4 be imported into 3D Studio max 5 or Maya 4.5?

I have a team in a GP4 League and would like to render some photo quality shots of my car.

I'm a total novice at this, my brother uses AutoDesk

Im no modelling expert, far from it in fact but this is a guess. A wild one at that.

Import the GP4 file into Zmodeller, save it as 3DSM and load it there.

Probably wont work though.
