Hi Tom,

Sorry to bother you again. Can you make it into a 3ds file. For GTL we need to make three different lower (and very low) poly models anyway to get it to work in game. I only am familiar with zmod at the moment and it would make it faster if I could start with a 3ds file.

Thanks
Gavin

Hey, im really interested in taking a close look at teh Marcos. The file doesnt seem to download, any chance of getting a .3ds copy?

I’m sorry I can’t offer you all the various 3D format you can think of. I specifically choose to use .blend format because 1/ it’s open and 2/ software to read / convert it is widely available (www.blender.org) Also, converting it to a low-tech format like 3DS will make you loosing the use of the modifiers (surface subdivision, mirroring) and of the shaders.

Rpower, when saying “doesn’t seem to download”, do you really mean download or do you mean “unable to open the downloaded file” ? This is important to me, as I host the file (that is, it’s not uploaded to a 3rd party file download service)

Hello Tom,
Doc from smcars.net referred you to me and suggest you may be able to help with a blender problem.
I am modelling and animating a large digger and have some of the hydraulic components parented to empties. when the arm rotates past a certain point the empties flip 180 degrees causing the hydraulic component (child) to flip also.
I would greatly value any help you can offer.

many thanks,
Peter Spencer

Indeed I’m one of the longest-time user of Blender on SMCars, but I’m not expert about what you’re tryingto do. Did you try to rig the model instead of just parenting ?

Otherwise, I suggest you to use the dedicated section on SMCars for Blender support : http://www.smcars.net/forums/blender

many thanks,
Peter Spencer

Great work – Would you allow me to post one of your renderings (and a link) from our website on Marcos cars?

Thanks.

Mark

Thanks for your comment, I’m glad you appreciate. Feel free to post a render, that’s why I put the whole site under a CC license. So as long as you mention name and link, I’m OK. Let me know if you need a special render

Phil

Thanks.

Sorry for being off topic but what WP template do you use? Looks great.

Fusion 2.3 by digitalnature. I don’t remember of changing anything, except choosing the modules of course.
