3D Studio Max 2003 Chevrolet Impala

Okay, here it is, the remake of my 2003 Chevrolet Impala. There will be different versions (Taxi/Police/Undercover/Impala SS) of it, so its going to be a big project. Here are some screens and wires. As you can see there are no textures at the car itself, the wheels should be final tho. Its for GTA SA and IV.

Hope you like it and give me some C&C

Looks very good, the thing I spot about the wheel is that you have continued your rim geometry into the tire, which actually wouldn`t be neccesary as it`s separate object. Could save some polys and make the tire rounder..

Great job so far!
Too bad they didn't make a V8 RWD car out of it.The design is kind of OK.
Nothing compared to the '94-96 Impala SS,but good for families.
Your model will find its way into my game,thats for sure!
I even still got your old 03 Impala in my SA.

Keep it up!

w0000t!!!


too bad your image host's ads make me wanna go out and smash various objects....



But the car is looking very good so far. I can't wait until you get the textures done for it! aside from the aliasing on the renders they look top notch! I think the window texture is quite nice too... now make a red one like the one I rented

Keep it up! It's great so far

Heres a red one.

Thank you for your comments guys, its great to hear sth like that from you.

@Tonn: Yeah I agree, I just was too lazy to weld those vertices.

I really need an interior for it so those windows can be a bit less tinted.

you need more edges, the edges are too noticeable, ruins roundness, apart from that looks good

I doesn't see difference. But anyway great work

EDIT: Ok, maybe I see the difference, but ... IMO those polygons will be wasted in GTA SA

your work is very good and I appreciate the low poly technique very much...

But when I see a car like this Impala and remember it's heritage I feel sad...
I don't know if I'm nostalgic but the 58, 59's were so nice ...

Regards from sunny Rio de Janeiro...

Jeez! I had no idea you were going into such great detail on this vehicle! With this much detail, I'm hoping you'll bake some shadows into the interior texturing, because the GTA SA engine is very poor about making everything look like it's just glowing.

Anyway, it's looking great, hope to see it with the whole texturing process and interior done... It's gonna be so cool!

Anyway, it'd be great if you put some of this detail into any other cool car I like, like the Fiero, the Suzuiki Aerio, and a Dodge Aries!
