Klayton Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 One year ago I showed and uploaded the first and only #MoreMonsterJam track to this site One year later I have another #MoreMonsterJam track nearly complete, and I couldn't be more happy with how it turned out and the progress I've made over the last year. With perfect timing of the release of Fern's Grave Digger 25, hopefully I can get this out soon for you guys to tear it up! Very nice looking stadium! Only thing that could use some work are the lines. They look too plain and blocky. I always had mine spattered because those lines just make it look too cartoony if you know what I mean. It's your track, do what you want. But, awesome job . Maybe look into alpha splatting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helen Weales Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Wow, Awesome Kong is absolutely stunning and so fun to drive. Thank you! Speaking of AK -- the new driver models are finished and I will upload them very soon -- this is the male model in my Awesome Kong V electric truck. The texture mapping is still kind of a mess and might require some alterations depending on the fire suit pattern (I tried so hard to make it perfect, but I couldn't -- if anyone wants to take on this difficult task PM me please). I also gave the Straker trucks a carbon fiber seat and a new steering wheel -- this one has the digital dash built into the middle of the wheel. Also has paddles in the back, but instead of them being shifters they would be used to control the rear steering. And of course, I had to take a shot of AKII with AKV! The last photo is a new photography room and road tires. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post acdcfan56 Posted December 26, 2015 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 26, 2015 (edited) It's been a real long time since I last touched anything related to painting. Sheets asked me to make this so I did. For not painting for a few months I'm quite happy with the result!Took a bit to make but it was fun. Especially the Eye.Enjoy!

Mark Colineri Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Finally complete with the 4th version of my current competition truck. Always like to be unique with my Working Class trucks, and I think this hits that mark. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Stephen Hopkins Posted December 27, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted December 27, 2015 (edited) Some of you may have seen my project truck I posted earlier in this thread. Well from that point forward I've been quietly working away at better version. I wanted it to be similar on the exterior but completely different from there forward. ( written as if this were a real truck for like a magazine or something)I went about building my dream of how a Monster Truck may look today if it were still a racing (priority) series. I went with this as thought for the interior of the truck. Most race cars dashes today is completely carbon fiber and include digital dashes. Gone are days of ugly round gauges! Welcome to the Motec world of things! Buttons and ignition switches are now also found on a carbon based form for organization with labels similar to that of a Nascar Cup Car. Switches have covers to keep them from being in inadvertently switched off. In the cradle of the truck a transponder is mounted in a similar fashion to any modern race car. This makes timing and calling races a sinch with each truck carrying a transponder. Long gone are the judgmental calls that troubled Monster Jam. Gear switching has never been so easy with the new sequential gear shiftier, similar to that of the ones found in rallycross cars. No longer do teams get motors from Feld; Today's Chevrolet motors are finely tuned by the experts of Hendrick Motorsports and output close to 2000hp. For driver safety the implementation of a Hendrick Carbon Fiber seat as taken over. The days of aluminum seats are gone. These seats include more leg protection to keep the drivers legs under control in the event of a crash. ( I modeled this, so lets no point out how awful it is, for someone who had never modeled anything I think it turned out decent) In a similar fashion to IMSA trucks carry the truck name, number, and class on the door lexan for qualifying purposes when bodys are removed. Sponsors are plentiful and in cases of inclement weather engine bay covers have become a useful tool for sponsors and functional part for crews who no longer have to cover engines with awful blue tarps. Chassis numbers are also required somewhere on the truck to be easily recognized by the governing body and fans alike. The 2015 Chevy body is made by Aerodine composites of complete carbon fiber to save weight, wrapped with a mixture of 3M vinyl that includes matte and chrome parts to give the truck a unique look. Contingency sponsors are still a major part of the sport with each truck carrying a varying amount. ( I made the cleanest sponsor plate with ONLY 2015 Monster Jam sponsors...... So you have no excuses for piss poor sponsor plates anymore) Back to the non write up. Truck has edited physics, brakes, suspension etc so it wont be race legal. Because of this I have made this truck its own individual pack which I plan to update over time as I change and learn new things. I plan to have the first version out by new years day, and if all the original content makers agree maybe even a blend file so that people can pick apart parts they want or need, but mainly so they can learn from an already assembled truck. EDIT: Just saw Ryan Andersons post about using a similar digital dash..... guess my truck's interior isn't as unrealistic as I thought'd it be LOL.

Helen Weales Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Awesome work! If you want my updated driver model, PM me. I'd like to release them this week but would like someone else to test them before I do. Also still looking for someone who wants to take on the challenge of texturing them properly.
