I could start modding if lfs would allow it. I can use 3ds max and I can model, unwrap and create textures. On the texture front I am still in the basic stage but i am still learning and developing my skills. Only problem I have now is that my camera is busted so I can't take any photos which make my texturing rather difficult. I prefer to model in low polys rather than high but if required i can do both.

I can also animate and setup character rigs.

I have done some basic track modelling in the past too but i am quite a newbie on that front but I will would learn if the time came.

I was already thinking of what mods I would like to make for lfs if it ever becomes open to mods.....

but sure I would give it a go....

I find modelling cars so much easier than people

mad

Ok.. I have uploaded a new version of the skin.

I have fixed the great lakes issue, I can't believe I didn't notice that before. I have also fixed a few things bbman pointed. I tried to fix the barge boards but due to the way the car is unwrapped and the way the map is layed down I am afraid there is little I can do to fix it unless I re-do the whole car.

If you spot any other mistakes please do let me know though. Will hapilly fix it.

mad

Ahhh man! I wish I read things properly. I thought the deadline fore the skins was 30th as 12 UCT midnight and not noon.

I started skinning and now I have a useless lx4 skin on my computer.. dammit!

I voted though, some cool skins people made.
:something

Quote from LFSn00b :

Render is old compared to the skin file :P that bug is fixed.

Highsider thanks for pointing those out to me.

Ok I have fixed and uploaded new versions of the files

Quote from Bawbag :

Holy moly!

I thought for sure I had ruined my chances last night when I couldn't imrpoove, no way did I think this time would hold out!

All day at work i've had this feeling I was getting beaten by 0.01 or something and the time it took to load the results page was killing me!

Thanks for the competition and to everyone who was involved in making it happen.

Now Bawbag is an Alien with g25

Congrats on winning the price!

bump :haha:

After such a hectic race I am surprised to see myself back at the top, very lucky with this one.!

Arghgh! ITV again cut the program short and skipped the press conference! :gnasher::arge:

WOW what a fantastic race! Best race of the season by far. They should artificially wet the track at every race

Absolutely cRaZy start to the race! I was praying for rain but this is too much.

Should be a fun race though when it stops raining.

I play

Serious Sam (all of them)
Stalker
Day of Defeat Source
STCC2 - Swedish Touring Car Championship 2
Toca 2
Nascar 2003 from time to time

Quote from TiJay :

Iron_Maiden, brilliant imitation of the Honda!

Madman, fantastic attempt and very detailed, even if there are flaws and doesn't have the Honda look as much as Iron's, it's FAR better than anything I could do so I can't knock it!

I am still fixing a few things, hope to release the final version today after a few busy days with other things. Will try and fix it as much as I can but I think after my next release it will be final.

Quote from thisnameistaken :

I ended up buying Stalker the other week. I wanted to see if the AI lived up to the hype, and in some cases it did seem quite clever, but not often enough.

The atmosphere was pretty good for a game though. When I was skulking around Pripyat trying not to get sniped and I rounded a corner to see the rusty ferris wheel, that was a strange moment. I just sat there staring at it for ages. I hadn't realised they'd taken actual places and put them in the game.

Hehe.. you obviously haven't read much prior to your purchase

I have waited 3 years for the game! I've known about it for a long long time. I've read so much on Chernobyl and the accident and how the game relates.

There are a number of areas based on the real exclusion zone. Pripyat, the Chernobyl NPP, lot of the factories Agroporm etc.. They are all based on the real area.

The game is very atmospheric and in some areas damn spooky! Some of the underground secret labs were very spooky with poltergeist around and floating objects. Probably the most atmospheric game that I have played.

The AI are quite clever but there are also many bugs in their behaviour and indeed the game. Nevertheless though I think the game is amazing.

Yesterday a new Stalker game has been announced for Q1 2008 which will be a prequel to the current Stalker. Explaining some of the story which was unclear, like why Strelok was in a death truck at the start of the game. Quite looking forward to it....

Quote from DeKo :

Sorry about this, just really keen to have a decent version of this

Not to worry, I will fix it all. I have a free day today so will see.

Thanks Sponge for pointing those out for me, i just didn't see all those little tweaks but I am surprised I didn't find the hole on the front of the nose...

bbman: yeah noticed that too. Will change it....

mad

Quote from Sponge :

It still shows some wire frame headrest.

Sorry.. i can't see it either. Could you point it out for me with a circle or something? I have just spotted a small mapping error on the front wing where you can see a squarish dark blue area on the ocean. Will edit the skins but please Sponge.... point out the wireframe for me. The wireframe glitch was quite annoying, i rubbed out the main underlaying layer which exposed the wireframe. Quite annoying....

mad

Quote from h3adbang3r :

Idjit? what the hell is an idjit?

An English definition

ok.. skin is fixed. I uploaded the new files above.

aha... thought that may come up

The version of the car I was using as reference was this

which has no numbers on the wing..

I will add them to the wings though as the rear wing does look a bit plain..

gimmie few minutes to fix it

OK here is the skin, I hope you like it. I checked it for all mapping mistakes so there should not be any major errors but if you stumble across any that you would like me to fix then please let me know and I will fix them asap. I've just been staring at it for too long now to spot them myself.

enjoy
