We're making a model of a 1999 Toyota Avalon for use in Halo and it's pretty detailed with an interior.

GRUNTS and I need someone willing to texture it. Serious inquiries only please. Message either grunts7 or guardian2433 on Xfire asking for help. I have pics of what the car should look like from a real Avalon and also textures and grunts has the model.

Please help get this in-game. It's a 5 seater with 1 extra awkward seat on the sunroof for a hanging gunner.

yeah.... 25 dollars for that crap

123 polygons? So I guess all of you guys could make something with 1230 polygons, and then sell it for $250?

LOL Who would pay for models...

Media Type: 3D Models
Published: Jul 21, 2006
Geometry: Polygonal
Polygons: 123
Vertices: 88
Textures: Yes
Materials: No
Jointed: No
Animated: No


There even are some that cost over 200$.... Regular users would NEVER pay 25$ for an horrible car model And companies wouldn't pay 200 for a model they could easily make.

Especially for a game such as Halo that requires alot of rules to be followed...

Lol, all that is is a box with textures. I could make that better then they can and I can't even make vehicles.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

The one we modeled blows it out of the water. I saw those models before you guys posted it and yeah they suck.

I'll try and post some pictures of what we have. They aren't textured but they'll work. It's a clay model render.

OK here are some clay renders of the car.







Sorry if they don't look as good as you might like but these are clay renders, not textured pictures of a model.

Yea it needs to be even with the front not twice the size.

It does look better then the one on Turbosquid though.

Hmm I'll be sure to let GRUNTS know.

I think the one on turbosquid is better because that one is more accurate. Even if it is practically a box its accurate. Yours looks as if you never seen a car before. Just look at where the mirros are placed. Look at the doors. You have parts that waste polies. And then some places that lack the detail. Like look at the steering wheel. There is just a flat body. And look at the errors. Fix the smoothing. I don't think this si close to getting textured. Needs a lot more work before you start skinning.

Wow... Thats really bad. Period.

^this man knows best! also, those are crappy clay renders.

Hmm I see what you mean. He's trying though, which is a good thing. Think anyone here wouldn't mind trying to model one better? I have pics of what the car should look like.

I assume you did not show them to him... O_o

That looks nothing like an avalon. Cuz me dad owns a 1995 Avalon and it is still running.
I can probaly get take a pic of it for u if u want it for reference

The cup holders...they do nothing!

Yeah I'm going to get some pics of the exterior of the car soon. I think you're right on some levels. It could be a little better.

But you gotta admit for someone that models mainly weapons he's trying his best. He did do this soda machine that's in my map now. Take a look at these.





Are these any good for vending machines?
Edited by Rambo on Mar 5, 2008 at 04:37 PM

you know what would be pure win? making that a device that vends soda when you press E near it. you would get my download for that
also that little thing that says insert $1.00, if you made the bitmap scroll, i would love it even more. but duce has a good point, it really does not look like a working vending machine

Edited by Donut on Mar 5, 2008 at 04:43 PM

it seems like he never seen a vending machine either. How do you get the soda from that...?

honestly that just looks like a box with chamfered edges on the corners and inset,extrude in the middle. and some textures on the side.

This might help. Put it on a plane and line up your vertices to it

Or cut it and make a new model out of it

Here's a tutorials page that teaches modeling with ortho's (front/side view pics)
http://www.poopinmymouth.com/tutorial/tutorial.htm

Thank you so much for taking an interest in my idea. It feels good to know that people are interested in something like this even though the model itself needs work. Thank you for the pic reference of the Avalon. I hope this and others like it will help with modeling.

Now for a tough question. Would anyone be willing to help do this model with us? I'm looking for a low poly, high quality model. The reason we put that much detail into the interior is because we wanted it to look professional, like gauges on the dash, stereo in the dash, cupholders, etc. etc.. The Warthog has a lot of detail inside and out so I figured, "Why not?"

Please help me model the car. I had GRUNTS do it because, to be honest, I have bad eyesight and cannot model at all right now. I'm going to try to learn regardless of how bad my vision is but right now I can do nothing but direct ideas towards others.

It's a start though. Just needs moar TLC

You can?

I sure hope that "car" thing gets fixed.

Here are some more pics of stuff GRUNTS made. This is a new sniper rifle, the NTW-20.

First, the model of the real rifle, which isn't finished yet.



And here's the PSG-1 we made for Blood Creek.

I like that second one... and to see that the first one is not finished yet is a huge relief for me.

This thread inspired me to work more on a car im doing. Just thought I'd post a pic, as a suggestion of how to go about it

It's alot easier working on half of it, then mirroring it later. Figure out the interior later (but save your interior, it's a good start)
Import the warthog for a reference using the gbxmodel importer

So the wheels are like... ?

duh, chewy gumdrops! Havn't you seen chewy gumdrops before? o m g .
Anyways, thats besides the point. Point is the modeling tecnique for a symetrical object, like a car.

That was the basis, but it's not gonna be the same

I bet you can find a cheap toyota avalon off turbo squid for free. I've seen lots of cool cars there for free.

Wow. The splattermobile.
http://www.turbosquid.com/FullPreview/Index.cfm/ID/271119

All for FREE! And obviously better than that $25 boxy Avalon.

i have lots of these and less polly models if any1 wants them.

No, he probably found them on Kazaa or Bittorent.
