Rikard Posted August 15, 2006 Report Posted August 15, 2006 (edited) Nice one Crewie, having never stripped one out I would never have known that! looks like Mcrew is our stripping expert then! Edited August 15, 2006 by Rikard
Fasternie Posted August 15, 2006 Report Posted August 15, 2006 Take a look at the 404 Rob Mills Capri from Bristol, then look at 969 Jamie Pickup's from Hednesford. Then take a look at that rear window. This is one thing I have noticed when modelling this Capri is that some seem to have 'extra' metal inside the rear window and some dont. If you then look at the size of the window beteen the two it would give the impression of the roof looking 'lower' then what it actually is. Im not sure if this came with the higher spec Capri's or not (or maybe its on all Capri's but some drivers take it out, can someone please say!) but I think you will agree it certainly makes a difference. I cant say the same for the side window however so maybe thats just down to the photos?? As I have said, I just wanted to get the 'shell' of the car into game to see how it looks, and I can guarentee that the car is not the right length or width in that picture, it was just a rough estimate (which is why the wheels etc look way out of place). Maybe when I have it all mapped etc and ready for damage, I will stick the car in game properly with everything all lined up to see what you lads think?? I appreciate the kind words and comments and anything like this Ernie helps to make a better model in my opinion. Dazza Now I see the difference m8, you're right
Nemesis239 Posted August 15, 2006 Report Posted August 15, 2006 This is one thing I have noticed when modelling this Capri is that some seem to have 'extra' metal inside the rear window and some dont. Dazza That because some Capris came with opening rear windows, and some came with ones fixed permanently in place with a rubber seal. At a guess the ones with the rubber seal probably had the ' extra' metal . Was just going to post that mate.... u beat me to it Cheers

Dazza290 Posted August 17, 2006 Author Report Posted August 17, 2006 Nice one Jamesey, but similar to Wrighty's pics, if only there were bangers! Ive got a sort of template half knocked up which is suitable, Im just gonna wait and see what Rodder can get for me, of if there are Capri's down Bonebuster which are suitable. If not Im going to go ahead with the template I have got at the moment. Dazza
Matt 476 Posted August 17, 2006 Report Posted August 17, 2006 looking the dogs rear swingers m8. Still havent picked that crapi up yet. so cant help you at the mo sorry dude
Dazza290 Posted August 17, 2006 Author Report Posted August 17, 2006 Bit further with it. This is using the old front pic from the old template, it doesnt look to bad when rendered so will test properly to see what it looks like in game to see if it can be used Hope you like
FbF 656 Posted August 17, 2006 Report Posted August 17, 2006 looks good dazza, be nice to have a decet capri in game
tilly Posted August 17, 2006 Report Posted August 17, 2006 (edited) looks epic nice1 m8 1 question... y dont cars have a 3d door plate surely its only a few polys???? thanks liam Edited August 17, 2006 by tilly
Nemesis239 Posted August 17, 2006 Report Posted August 17, 2006 Looks propper mate cant wait to try the old girl out!
Dazza290 Posted August 18, 2006 Author Report Posted August 18, 2006 looks epic nice1 m8 1 question... y dont cars have a 3d door plate surely its only a few polys???? thanks liam I was thinking about this aswell. Each 'plate' would work out at 10 polys each meaning a minimum of 30 which is possible I suppose
mcrew Posted August 18, 2006 Report Posted August 18, 2006 That looks spot on Dazza! I dont realy think that there is enough difference in the headlight area between the MK2 and 3 Capris to worry about, it looks just right to me. On the damage side of things, will it snap off like the marina model does?
The London Allstar Posted August 18, 2006 Report Posted August 18, 2006 Looking great atm lets hope it snaps nice n easy, just like the real life car
Dazza290 Posted August 18, 2006 Author Report Posted August 18, 2006 I have a good idea on how the damage will be, 341 Andy Jones had a Capri at Smeatharpe which looked absolutey sweet when wrecked, it probably still would have gone aswell if the prop hadnt of snapped off! Anyway, some 3d plates

Dazza290 Posted August 20, 2006 Author Report Posted August 20, 2006 A little update, this time all skinned up! Thanks must go to Marcy for making this excellent 202 Kilf skin for me so I could render it [attachmentid=8550] Marcy also adjusted the template for me with some editing here and there, so another thank you for that Also included is a shot of the car in game! [attachmentid=8551] Cheers Dazza

Cunny78 Posted August 21, 2006 Report Posted August 21, 2006 Oops forgot the pic! Looks awesome nice 1 Dazza
Rikard Posted August 21, 2006 Report Posted August 21, 2006 WOW! Dazza that is look very good! If you have any spare pollys left how about trying to make a rear view mirror? as none of the online bangers have them yet
Dazza290 Posted August 21, 2006 Author Report Posted August 21, 2006 The track is definately gonna be next Jamesey! Im glad Nick has started Aldershot because I can start pestering him again (Only joking Nick!) And Rikard, no mirror's im afraid! They are crap in real life and there is no way I would ever model one for a banger online! I always thought you should concentrate whats going on in front rather then behind!
tilly Posted August 21, 2006 Report Posted August 21, 2006 thats looks the nuts m8 i was trying to get it off of marc other night but he wouldnt give it to me brilliant tho welldone

Mirrors are junk, as you spend too much time looking at what is just about to fence/jack you, just sit back, keep looking forward and enjoy the ride! The capri now looks the mutts nuts Dazza, now youve done that you can get back on with the track mate. Edited August 21, 2006 by mcrew
