2004 Kenworth W900-L w/ Studio Sleeper

[hardtruckisthebest]

Well, this has been an ongoing project for about 6 months now.. I scratch built the original body, and got the chassis from a friend and a 2006-style interior from a game, and now I started scratch-building a 2004-style interior and I'm going to convert the exterior model from a 2006 model to a 2004 too (changing my pipes, adding a sunroof, adding a peep window in the passanger door, and some other minor stuff)

Whatever, it's done in Z-mod, only purpose is 18 Wheels of Steel: Haulin'.

here's the new interior (~10,000 poly right now)

It's not super-detailed, I could make it super-detailed if I wanted to, but it's meant to perform well on an average computer in a very over-done game

PS I'm new here so don't be too up tight if I haven't memorized all of your rules yet

Looks great, how much polies does this truck have? And did you think about modeling an engine for it? Would be great for san andreas.

Thanks, the truck is around 90 000 if I remember correctly. My buddy who made the frame gave me an engine with it, a 3406E CAT, but I deleted most of it to save polys, 'cause the game doesn't allow you to open doors and stuff. I just kept what you can see through the wheel well. San Andreas is my 2nd favorite game after Haulin', its tons of fun I been playing for over a year but its not good at all for trucking... If you're interested in trucking, you gotta get 18 Wheels of Steel: Haulin' which is pretty much infinitely moddable, and lots of mods are out for it.

This truck looks great so far. It has also a very nice interior. I can't wait to see it finished.

w00t!!!!

Looks amazing, especiallly the dash!

Where did you get the textures of the woodgrain? Can you send me these?


Can you post some pics of the front? I love the W900.

The wood grain is called walnut burl, go here
Exotic Wood Veneer, Vacuum Press Systems, Veneering Tools and Supplies at VeneerSupplies.com
and browse through the good, better, and A-AAA qualities 'till you find a pic you like

rosewood is nice too for dashes

I'll see if I can find a front shot of the truck already posted on the net

/ the air vents are modelled too, but they always seem hard to see with that black color, I gotta figure something out which will bring out the detail better
here are some old pics with a lame trailer but the truck hasn't changed much since then
