2007 Chevrolet Avalanche

[schaefft]

First pics of my new project. Hope Ill be done with it at 16.10., because theres the end of the ascendence modding challange. Some of you may heard something about it. Anyway, this is for gta sa, 1324 polies so far. I know there are some bumps, but I want to hear some tips that could help. The blueprints are totally crap, lowres and inaccurate, so I have to model a lot with photos. If you see something, that looks wierd or something, pls say it.



White headlights are only temp.

got a number of areas that appear to have strange normals/smoothing groups or something on them... in fact, how are you setting up the smoothing groups? I've never seen things look like that before, there appears to be creases in the model, yet there's still odd smoothing, as though it's partially smoothed and partially creased...

Worst areas of this are around the grille and the foglamps

will like to see this one finished! sure to be a nice one.

@multimediaman: I use smooth with 180 and chamfer or splitt to get the right normals.

Here are some shots of the Dosch Design Avalanche,maybe you can use them as prints or reference,good luck with your car,guess I'll show my M3 '08 around here,too.

Well, thats the previous generation of the avalanche. My one is the new model, so I wont use them. But this car looks good, where is it from and for what game maybe?:roll:

[wired]

It's not made by me,it's included in Dosch Cars 2004,you can find it on 3Dcadbrowser.

The one you got there is better modeled then the thing at 3d worldclub. 400k is just crazy. Do you have the model at the pics at your computer?

little update:

Modeled some more today. Most of the bumps will go when I start with the doorseems. If you want, you can say something how I could make the wire better.

The wire looks ok to me,and yes,I have the model,of which I made pics.The Dosch Design Avalanche is only 30 000 polys,but keep in mind that you could only use the body,cause the interior and rims are only generic.

Okay, thx. Little update, made a simple roof and the rearbumper today. 3000 polies so far.
