Well here it is! The debut of my brand new, fresh out of the shop, custom: Night Life Anarchy! This truck took a really long time for me to make, as it was actually the first truck I made completely in Blender (and not just using cloning). It turned out insanely well, and is miles above what I've made before. It was originally going to be a little more "crazy" looking, but it came out so awesome I'm not gonna change it. This will definitely be what I run for SMRA and other things. Enjoy!

He doesn't mean sticking to one color. What he means is to use colors that flow with each other or belong to a similar color scheme. A great way to make the scheme flow and not look like you just bucket filled in everything is to use gradients and only pick a few colors to use (like 2-3), not all of them. Another suggestion I have is to use some cool textures and overlay them to the body, and not just always use flat colors. Make sure the rims go along with the truck's scheme too, and not just a random color that looks cool.. Also, make your decals and logos fit in certain parts of the body. The way you have them laid out is going over the imprints (just look at the "crusher" logo) and often being over sized (just look at the Monster Jam logo). Last, cmon, that's just a repainted overkill evo, maybe try and build your own truck from the ground up using blender. That's all.

So some pretty cool indie 2016 highlight videos came out recently Throwdown's BMPS (Basically just every show MonsterBlog have covered this year)

Bet cha weren't expecting me and Blaise to be droppin' this one Yes, I know that's the cleanest it's ever been

I can confirm that Blackwell's roll was due to a brake failure. I was at the event, and he burned them up a little the race before, but in an interview after the semis, his crew chief said they fixed them and they were good for the finals. However, that obviously wasn't the case. Also, because of that crash, the year later, they started putting dumpsters down there to try and prevent trucks from rolling up into stands again. It actually kind of worked with crashes from Avenger, Captain USA, and let's not forget about how they might of saved Donald from serious injury.

New truck for 2017. Gonna run Toughest Monster Truck Tour 1st quarter Kevin drove for Meents before too

I actually heard from a very reliable source that there was a problem with how FELD had motorcross coming into some of the same venues as Monster Jam, and the parts of the cars/vans/busses were getting left in the dirt. That's another reason they limited their tracks down to just dirt. The tracks FELD used this past year in first quarter were okay, and I really like the style of racing they've been doing. However, I just hope they alternate between the style they did first quarter and the style they did at St Louis/Minneapolis recently.

Just follow this

Lol that's exactly how I got my start to making stuff. Anyway, go into the .zip of the file, and find the png of the paint (isn't hard to find). Once there, open it with paint.net, gimp, Photoshop, etc. You might need to overlay it to start from scratch. Once done, save it as the same name as it was, and you're done. If it doesn't show up the first time in game, regen your cache and it will. Also, if you want it to be its own individual truck( and not overlay), follow the cloning tutorial on here EDIT; Dang it, didn't see sky's post lol

I'm wet

Hate to take this thread even more off topic, but here's 2016's And 2015's! Enjoy! (22 sec in confirms Pablo was driving Doomsday)

Actually, they still do them. For this year, it was only played at the actual show to the song Happy. At the other years it wasn't shown, they only played it at the award ceremony. 2015's was leaked on YouTube, but idk if it's still there

All that detail I'm working on Wild Side a little bit more now. I'm gonna ask around for some help with the chassis and I'll fix the paint, but then it should be good to go

View File STS Los Angeles 2016 The track that's gonna be ran for STS this summer. Turned out really nice and just fun to launch a truck around on. Enjoy! Credits @Chris B @maxdman @Edy @RockCrwlr Others I probably forgot, lemme know if it's you Notes - This track is for any version you want (so it's .4 compatible) - Strongly recommend using sandstorm setting so you can get a nice night time looking track Hollywood-Style Racing: Submitter Chris B Submitted 12/10/2016 Category Tracks

Track for Minny, looks like USA 1 is out on the track for the pit party Photo cred Nathan Williamson on instagram

Hmmm... STS Los Angeles is done, tomorrow's the release Wild Side got a sexy new shock package Black and White Breakable Digger came out so nice /endpost

All you have to do is import it into blender and retexture it. It's not too difficult

Joliet 2016's almost done modeling-wise (Those weird looking circle things by the light poles are trees, they just look funny in solid view) Also, My spin-off of Night Life is coming along great. Yalls ain't ready for what's in store... (That back thing's gonna be lexan)

Looks okay for a start, but the dirt textures don't match up. Make sure you use the correct ones for the jumps and floor. Also, I strongly recommend baking and then overlaying it for your jumps; it will give it realistic shadows (Thargo has a tutorial on that on YouTube).

Probably just gonna do 8 trucks race and 6 wheelie or donut

Thanks, tried those settings and everything now looks way better. Turns out it was internal FOV screwing me up. Looks like I'll be spending some time tomorrow moving my stuff over to .4

Ryan wins racing, Buetow wins FS in STL. Freestyle had a ton of breakages and stuff, not many wow moments Probably gonna get a lot of hate for this, but i think the officials were a little trigger happy with Tom and Damon
