Monster trucks are a spectator show and always have been..... 

true, just that they were more of a sport before this year.

Ehh. Make them the lexan ones that are see through. Then people get to see your amazing work! lol

Is it just me, or is this whole Doomsday thing getting annoying? Im not talking annoying on MJ's part, im just saying that I think it is getting pretty annoying seeing speculation on who the drivers are on every single monster truck related forum/group you are in. Im definitely not trying to single you out Connor by any means, but Im just saying in general that I think it is getting rather annoying.   

 

 

Sorry for going off topic

I'd also say that it is getting annoying because Monster Jam is becoming less of a sport and more of a specator show. Not only with doomsday but with this el toro and el diablo thing where they need to compete against each other to get into freestyle.

I was actually working on them for a friend for a Kane Max-D 

You need to model them in blender but the textures are in the V4 pack

Any ideas on who was driving it?

3 Points for backing up? Don't you mean -3 points for backing up? Just wondering... 

So I started making this before I heard that PC was thinking about doing it. So I'll wait on releasing it till I see what he's doing.

Anyway I tried my best...

For PCs live stream.

Do you know around what time the live stream will start (and time zone)?

Getting stuck in a motor home... didn't see that coming.

 

Project from view is bad and you should feel bad.

 

Also i don't remember getting an answer about livestreams, would anyone be interested in a livestream of the Fiberwerx body sometime?

I would love another livestream, didn't get to see the first ones.

I for whatever reason didn't delete V3 but simply moved it to a different folder. So I still have it.

What version of blender are you using?

To repaint the rims you need three things:

1) The rim texture

2) Rim mesh file

3) Rim material file

Step 1

Make copies of these so that you don't overwrite the original ones.

Step 2 

Repaint the rims texture and rename it. 

Step 3 

Open the material file in notepad and change where it says something like SOLID/TEX/rim.png (it might say this in multiple places - be sure to change all of them) to the name of the texture that you painted.

Example:

SOLID/TEX/rim.png should now be CustomRim.png

Step 4

open the mesh file with the ogre XML converter (right click > open with > ogre xml converter) 

open the mesh.xml file in notepad and just like the material change the SOLID/TEX/rim.png to the name of your rim. 

Step 5

Open the .mesh.xml file with the ogre xml converter again, and your done!

PM me if you want some extra help, I will do my best to help!

that throttle rythem up in the air does sound like weenk

I'd really like to know how to do the bakes!

I would agree that the wow factor of try backflip has gone down. From staring with jaw dropped at the screen for about 5 minutes when I saw Meents do the first backflip. To now when it's basically like: "(truck approaches backflip ramp) he's going for the backflip... trucks spinning backwards... back on all fours! (Truck drives away from the backflip ramp)". Is basically how much the wow factor has gone down. But anyway I still think that the backflips ramps still should be in the tracks, because how many people actually hit the side of the bus stack without the backflip ramp? Sure, it's a few more than hit it if there was a backflip ramp there. But the backflip still gives a much bigger wow factor then seeing the truck go over the side of the bus stack.

to many..should be like 0

Well I would say that the number for the backflips is good, seeing that I like the backflips.

But I don't see why it should be 0 when no one, for example would say that the wheelie count should be at 0. They're both moves for grabbing points, both can roll the truck, both can do damage to the truck. So I don't really think that the backflip should be at 0.

...this debating thing has gone to my head...

Just going though the stats, for those of you that say there are too many backflips. I counted them up and there are currently 55 backflips that have happened in Monster Jam (one being in Paxton when Tom was practicing).

And Doomsday got backflip #50 Tampa.

I'm know it's possible with some of the cars on the RoR respiratory have four or five cameras; and I believe that the V5 (or was it V4.5) were going to have cameras on the roof, and on the driveshafts.

I meant that sarcastically, I know that he will qualify I was just expecting that when they started announcing trucks he would be one of the first few to qualify.

Monster Jam has another countdown... this time to the world finals. It also has the Legend pictured maybe he will qualify after all.

I have no words for that...

What the heck was Feld thinking???

So... did anyone hit the backflip in Orlando?

They aren't the best reference shots but:
