"L.V.C" REPLICA SKIN + HELP (entire car available)
the only other car i could find had about 20k poly and was a horrid model, not bad skins but a terrible car, so i chose this one, also the one that used to be available from rallyworld or whatever there called have now put that car behind a paywall as far as i can tell.
my 2nd replica skin which is finished but there are a few things that i cannot work out, i am wondering if there is anyone who can. There are a few issues which i will list:
1- the headlights (see bottom pic) for some reason the black on the left hand side is opaque and the headlight on the right hand side is not it is tinted heavily but slightly transparent in CM showroom and is very very obvious when the headlights are on, it looks stupid but i am hoping someone will be able to fix this because i can't and in my opinion it kinda ruins it a bit especially if night driving. The window banner is also transparent from the inside i have no idea how to make it so its visible from the inside and also why the banner looks like its stuck on the inside of tinted glass it just looks a little dull, if i could sort that i would be able to finish the banner so it covers to the edges like in real life but again, i am stuck with what i have
2- the 3d model is not awful especially on the outside but there are some glaring issues with it, things like the roll cage need a rework and ideally a front and back towing eye ring, at the moment i have arrows pointing to towing eye covers which does look a little odd, the interior is also very plain with a hole above the top left windscreen frame from cockpit view. I have tried to use the textures that are in the folders so the interior is not as plain but i cannot get anything to work on it, also there is a gap above the top of the rear window (from the outside), i also can't do anything with the badge on the back as i would like to silver it out to the same colour as the car but i cannot do that as the front badge is mapped with it.
3- there are loads of files with this car and to be honest i am sure alot more can be done but i have absolutely no idea how, have a look in the unpacked-bem_bmw_z3 folder there is all sorts but i cannot get any of it working so i am hoping someone with more skill than me will be able to work out what its all for and do something with it
i will not be releasing this car in the download section yet as for me to release this and feel happy about it i can look over everything this car has wrong with it but i cannot look past the headlights and the plain interior so until that is sorted i will just post a link to the entire car here with my skin included. That way if you want to just use "as is" you can do so.
so to sum up, i am happy with the work i have done, there are differences between what we have in the game and what the real life car is, the wing mirrors and bootlid being the most obvious, but as we say around here you can only work with what you have available to you at the present time.
there are a few imperfections here and there with it, but to be honest i don't want to spend anymore time on it as is because like i said the headlights and the interior need work and if no one is able to do it then i will just leave this skin as is and enjoy it. but if anyone is able to help i will finish the minor touches/adjustments before a proper release
