According to james may the sonic stunt was the first successful one since the man with the golden gun, which is about a forty year gap

Um... I WANT A JOKER TRUCK NOW

All this and still no Joker? tisk tisk lads

yes please

I don't like that. very disorientating and it removes all the fun from driving

>everything i've made in the last 6 months

Yeah, i wanted to do a nomad anyway Especially if it means i'd have a good reason to replica this as well.

PROGRESS yes, i know it's a V6 monster truck, deal with it. and yes i have fixed the third cylinder feed clipping with the brass circlet and the untextured guage at the front.

i got a few really good references for nomads, so i'll model the thing if need be

TF2 montage i made a while ago

since that was an activison rip, to make the spec map behave right, i'd "darken" it, but keeping the tone of the rest of it, to give it a "deeper" shine, with the edging on the flames being very quietly coloured to get the chrome shine on stuff like the XX chevron up the front. spec maps take a lot of time to get right but they're always worth it

According to LF, he got the paint/body out of the game, but they were tripe apparently

Yes. yes it is.

*Adventurer if you're going to spout crap memes, do it right please

SPEC MAPS? IN MY SIM MONSTERS? you're going to break reality you know

i dunno. i like the idea of a skype event. that'd make the arguments more interesting

and who says there's no class left in the world

Now to those imagining these times to be simpler, more noble times. Where driving was pure and the trucks golden. How wrong you are Edit: whoops. the timejump didn't work. skip to 2:43

Well. on the release day of V4, let's take a time to remember. (play for effect) And now dear reader... i want to take you to a different time. In the days before Sim Monsters... well it was the time of legends. when dionosaurs that weren't jurrassic attack roamed the maps of ROR, When a yellow and red filltool over a 80 face body that LF made one night four years ago was concidered Carolina crusher. When Grave digger 20 was on a patrick... racesource... thing... days when flexbodies actually worked, days when a few concrete slabs could be concidered Atlanta 2009. Days when legends crawled through the mire of Rigs of Rods. these were the days of myth. the days of stories, huddled around a really crap fire particle effect that sapped your FPS to the single digits. These were the halcyon days. These were the terrifying, amazing, tranquil and fresh days... of Rigs of Rods Monster jam... Now, dear reader, this may terrify you. We were all abhorrently frozen in terror in those hardscrabble days before anyone knew what blender was. Terrifying things happened. Horrifying things that shake the very base, concrete and solidifed grounding foundations of what we now accept as normal. Horrible monstrosities grinned terrifying and molevolant grins in the brazen glory of the light of day. Avenger, with no see through windshield, so you couldn't see out across the glorious concrete landscapes beset forth by Mike Elmondorf. Insane things, like Ash and RKM being on a... TEAM. A TEAM i tell you. Team NO FEAR. it was a terrible thing that simply was never meant to be. (and as we all know, in the great legends of creation, a bolt of lighting struck Team NO FEAR on the seventh day of the seventh month, causing it to split into it's good half and it's evil half. But more on that later. this is not the time for such childish stories of yore.) Other ugly beasts reared their head in these times as well, dear friend. Sketchup was the gateway to the modern wonders, but there were many atrocities to be had along the way. Massive conglomorate tracks with no rhyme or reason, paired to trucks that handled like cardboard. Terrifying, unsettling erethreal creations that still haunt the unwary server at 3AM, along with BusDriverPete, always asking for signals, and priority call 175, Alone, howling madened signals into the growling dark mists of servers, if someone, ANYONE could just answer him, the world would be right for him. But no, BusDriverPete is doomed to walk the hollow halls of ROR forever, his empty soul gouging a hallow and heavy dragging pain into his heart. If only they'd responded to 175... 175. but no. I'll spare you the horrors. For one fine day on Te-Gaming, a brazen and fresh faced hero rose from the strife, from the confusion, and from the terror that was RORMJ. And this young hero, was named Cortez Snipes. This fine example of humanity boldly struck forward, and spearheaded fantastic and amazing skins. Skins of every colour of the rainbow... and for the very glory of those hardscrabble days, i bring forth an offering. A sentimental farewell to the histories of Rigs of Rods... i bring you a glimpse... a charriot of fire, bringing forth unwordly bounty. This is the eternal work, of Cortez Snipes. So let us remember those great, legendary painters of years past. Celebrate the heroes of MS paint. Adorn the walls of our maps with portraits of the times of old and prey that it gets better. because that was kind of depressing

Alright, that's alright. I've sent kozak my redo if you want to stuff it into the pack. So there's that

well even so, i remodeled about a quarter of it from nill, that has to count for something

Nick Kozak 8:48 pm well there is the blend i sent to get added to V4 sorry if i jumped the gun in thinking that this was the V4 model then and no, the double/vert count was 1-1. even without the inside, since i removed that so i could get editing

Nope. Kozak sent me the blend. that's how it was in the .blend, so i'm assuming that's how it was exported plus every single vert was a double. first thing on the original i did was set smooth. made no difference. there wasn't a chance it was ever going to be smoothed in that state. i didn't modify the "comparison" model at all, and it, in fact, actually is shaded smooth there

So i IM'd kozak wondering if i could see the standard V4 Jurrasic Attack. and that just won't do. no sir. so i cracked open the mirror modifer and got to work. Original V4 body is the rough looking one obviously, my shiny new one in the 0,0,0 position I modifed most of the edge loops to be much cleaner. Nearly remodeled the entire beak. Remodeled all the horns, since the old ones were 80 face toss. smoothed the crown and reshaped most of it remodeled the entire eye section remodeled bits of the roof and smoothed some edge loops remodeled the edge of the cab. it's now a five vert curve instead of a one face block completly remodeled the bed. not a single vert left from the original. Although i did trace the wireframe of the original, essentially remodelling it with more faces, so it's pretty similar then my usual rounds of edgesplit and sillouette forming. Glad that's sorted then.
