Beater Tuning (Formerly Fiat 500)

[ithackston]

I had an idea to have a Fiat 500 tuning contest, thinking many people have done the notourious tutorial and already have the base model on hand.

Am I right when I say that many people have this model on hand, or is it just coincidence that many people I have talked to have done the Fiat tutorial in the past? :?

I read it through but didn't do it... just used the same techniques on another car, seemed like a better way to learn things instead of just following other peoples work... Nice idea tho

Good idea indeed, it would be interesting if several people took the same model (not necessary Fiat 500) and modify it in their own way.

I can get you this model if needed:

Or any other mesh from that site (www.3dworldclub.com) if people will support the idea (i can get only one model though, they're paid and i only have one slot for getting model at the moment).

So you provide the base mesh and people just make the tuning parts? If that's the case I could think about it...

Sounds great, but my mesh is no good. How bout any Fiat tuning? I specified the 500 because I was under the impression that everyone had it (plus the clown-car had some potential). If we have no base mesh, we should do a contest of another kind.

Thanks for the support tho

Yep, like that... I think there was no such contest at SMC yet (people usually model the entire car from scratch, not use the same mesh as a base).

Indeed this mesh isn't that good...i'll check for other Fiats.

EDIT: looks like the Fiat idea is gone, others are poor or just too special:



Maybe any other brand tho?

ford pinto :mrgreen:?
my idea was to take a basic bodied car (common, nothing nice), distribute the mesh, then tune the car from crappy to crazy. anyone have a car in that sort of "genre"?

Too new for me, needs to be older*

Edit: someone has to have the old 500, I have a VERY stupid idea for it
