[meager plinth]

Not spesifically this car, but in this video the driver is not demonstrating the safety of the car, but how good it still is after the crash
https://youtu.be/Ki9fDmBTX7w?t=9

I would like something newer than that, like the Ibishu Miramar

[willow jolt]

Lol, not to suggest you're wrong, but this was probably filmed at 10 frames and played at 25... so while it looks like a 20mph crash, it was probably not much faster than walking into the wall. But if you'd like some suggestions I'd love to see a Ford Cortina or early Escort, maybe an Anglia.

[drowsy leaf]

oh also personal recomendation if youve got no modeling, texturing and beamng coding experience is to not make a car as a first modç

its just a very big task

and most people that do that just give up due to loss of motivation

it takes months to do this sort of work

[meager plinth]

Like I said I have general Programming experience, and also I have been using Blender for a while.

[drowsy leaf]

still wouldnt reccomend it

just make a smaller thing till then like a custom part for any existing vanilla car

[cyan drum]

wait until he finds out jbeam isn't coding

[willow jolt]

Already explained that haha, it's just data

[drowsy leaf]

totally havent spent like a week modeling this highpoly engine model which still has a bunch left to do (like the entire lowpoly, seams and baking)

[nova haven]

Anyone can help me with this?

[drowsy leaf]

uh are you in walking mode ?

i think theres issues with triggers in walking mode

[nova haven]

Yep

[drowsy leaf]

just enter the car

[nova haven]

Still doesn't work in normal mode too

[drowsy leaf]

uh weird then
idk should post in the thread for the mod in the forums

[willow jolt]

Damn, those textures... I'm sorry, I think I just came.

[drowsy leaf]

the magic of procedural blender textures :p

i have painted 0% of that

even the oil stains

i made those with a noise texture

[willow jolt]

Yeah, that would have been a bitch to hand paint.

[meager plinth]

Something I made in blender a while back

[meager plinth]

Is that just 1 thing? Like 1 model?

[drowsy leaf]

yes

tho admitedly this is far higher detail than it would ever need to be

since im also trying to make sure that it would be a functioning engine, with all the sensors and a wiring diagram even

[meager plinth]

I dont think when people spawn in a car they would open the hood just to zoom in on the engine and start doing a "4k 60fps engine stream"

[drowsy leaf]

yeah but i do

[meager plinth]

Fair

[drowsy leaf]

the main reason i do it is because of i love engines

such cool pieces of tech

[willow jolt]

Most players probably aren't even aware that the cars have engines, until they end up on the back seat after a crash, but still it's fun to model the details in.

[drowsy leaf]

im also planning to animate the throttle

[meager plinth]

😂 Never even thought of that, thats so unfortunate

So real though, ending up on the backseat after a crash

[drowsy leaf]

you cant even see the throttle plate unless you willingly remove the other part of the intake manifold or run itbs

[meager plinth]

I wish I could experience my first moments with BeamNG again, I dont have any memories of them unfortunatly nor any clips

[willow jolt]

ITBs will be an option, I hope?

[drowsy leaf]

i misworded it lol
i meant airhorns or however you call them things
by default it has itbs

[willow jolt]

Well, yes, horns/trumpets

[drowsy leaf]

yeah well thats kind of mandatory if you have any sort of itb system

swag factor + 1000

[willow jolt]

Agreed

[willow jolt]

I am a massive fan of (especially the older) M engines

[drowsy leaf]

fun fact

this is the first m engine

from the M1 that then made its way over to the e24 635csi and m5

and double fun fact
the etk i series has this exact engine, just at a 2016 beamng model engine quality

[willow jolt]

Man, I'd give both nuts for an M5

E28 iirc

[drowsy leaf]

hey you know how the equal lenght tubular headers from old race cars are called

lemme pull up a model

these sort

[willow jolt]

I mean we always just called them equal phase

[willow jolt]

Miramar?

[drowsy leaf]

yea

found what i wanted

i think they are just called long tubular headers

[willow jolt]

long tubular works, kinda explains exactly what it is...

@drowsy leaf Seriously, though, thanks for the advice. I won't lie, the effort I'm putting in isn't actually for BeamNG per se, I want to improve my blender game seriously and having something to work on is better for me than making random scenes. My ideal end goal is make some tribute models of the car marque that my dad and I loved the most. I mean I still love them.

[lyric cedar]

Gave +1 Reputation to @drowsy leaf (current: #58 - 29)

[willow jolt]

They haven't existed since the late 80s/early 90s though, and even then they were essentially just rebadged cars from other manufacturers

[drowsy leaf]

no worries mate
if you need more help specially with engines i can help

[willow jolt]

I'd love that

[drowsy leaf]

in that case my dms are open

[willow jolt]

This and a more modern (possibly 2005ish) reimagination is what I'd love most

[drowsy leaf]

i dont even know what that is but i like it

best

[barren magnet]

how do you use materials so well

im actually just fucking flabbergasted

[drowsy leaf]

they are procedurally generated by blender

[barren magnet]

yeah but like is every piece a different mesh?

[drowsy leaf]

also i mean ive been using them for like 1.5 years specially

[drowsy leaf]

nah its like a common material that you can apply to all meshes and it works
its not UV based

it just uses object data for it

[barren magnet]

i gotta figure this out

very annoying only seeing stuff im building in blender grey

[drowsy leaf]

the only thing that cant really be applied to everything is the oil and block materials since they use a gradient i placed so the oilstains work

basically i gradually decrease how many oilstains there are the higher it goes

[willow jolt]

It's a Triumph Dolomite Sprint, it was the British answer to the 2002, and was as quick as the turbo while being NA, it has the world's (officially speaking) first mass produced 16v 4banger. A 2.0l engine producing 135+ hp back in the 1970s

[drowsy leaf]

may be able to appreciate here

this a twincam?

looks like a single jingle

[willow jolt]

SOHC 16v

[drowsy leaf]

oh

thats unheard of

[willow jolt]

it is today

[drowsy leaf]

well i mean even then single jingles were almost all 8v even for a performance car

[willow jolt]

Had long arms to actuate the exhaust ports with the same cam

[barren magnet]

yeah 16v single cam is a little impressive

at that age

[drowsy leaf]

oh also with the curve tools addon (built into blender) ive made sure they are all equal lenght

[barren magnet]

curves still elude me

i still build toobs with geo nodes

[drowsy leaf]

o god

[barren magnet]

yeah

[drowsy leaf]

they are all within a cm of lenght

not perfect since it doesnt account for the tube, just for the path

[willow jolt]

A lot of 16v Hondas were SOHC in the 80s and 90s, like the D series engines in the Civic

I think the early Golf GTi 16v was SOHC too

[drowsy leaf]

nah that was a 8v

[barren magnet]

isnt that triumph motor like late 70s

[willow jolt]

It is

[barren magnet]

first gti was 8v

mk2 i think got 16v

[willow jolt]

my dad's was a 1978

[drowsy leaf]

i think golf 3 got 16v twincam

mk2 might have been 16v single

[willow jolt]

Yeah, golf 2 had a single 16v

[drowsy leaf]

but yeah they disappeared as fast as they appeared

[willow jolt]

Yeah, because they're a nightmare to look after lol

[drowsy leaf]

late 70s was the start of dohc in high end cars and by the mid 80s most performance cars had dohc

[barren magnet]

@drowsy leaf any recommendations for channels with good blender tuts? i gotta figure materials and whatnot out before my next project and im a little intimidated by it all still

[drowsy leaf]

its like a margin of 5-8 years at most

[barren magnet]

and the next project is a whole ass vehicle

[drowsy leaf]

whats your experience

[barren magnet]

uhhh

6 months

[drowsy leaf]

i just know youve done something but i dont know what it even is

[barren magnet]

small parts for people

[drowsy leaf]

only modeling?

[barren magnet]

yeah

im just handling modeling for this

its a group thing

[willow jolt]

Triumph's decision came from lack of space, more than anything else. The car was originally built to be a 1.8 SOHC 8v, but the Sprint was asking for something almost twice as powerful

[drowsy leaf]

do NOT agree to make textures btw

[barren magnet]

i havent

[drowsy leaf]

you will just shit out garbage specially if you use blender

[barren magnet]

ive got substance but i've also been in the process of getting a handle on that

[drowsy leaf]

oh then you might be fine

[barren magnet]

unwrapping is still black magic

but im getting there

[drowsy leaf]

use the auto uv packer thing from blender 4.0

i use the paid addon from someone

cost me 40 buck

[barren magnet]

yeah thats not worth it to me at this point

maybe if i get better

not maybe, when

need to have confidence

[willow jolt]

TBF Blenders smart unwrap isn't bad... I've seen much worse

[drowsy leaf]

ive only used blender

[willow jolt]

I used to use a program called Milkshape

[barren magnet]

i wanna use substance, i've seen the shit like what BDR.Isaac does and its crazy

[drowsy leaf]

yea

[barren magnet]

a lot of inspiration but none of the skill to back it up yet

[drowsy leaf]

also what group proyect is it if you can share

[willow jolt]

Never been able to afford (or at least justify) 3DS

[barren magnet]

i didnt sign anything but idk lol

i'll dm

[drowsy leaf]

i mean if you cant share publicly

ive already shared enough of my next proyect

[barren magnet]

ive mentioned it but its so early on, i dont wanna get any undue expectations going

[drowsy leaf]

true

lets move the convo to dm

[willow jolt]

Should I just say that anything I'm working on is not necessarily going to make it to a finished mod? lol

[waxen lichen]

I manually do seams and press unwrap

Then scale up things that i want to have more detail

And then re-pack the uvs

Its pretty easy once you get the hang of adding seams

[willow jolt]

Yeah, you need to seed some seams, otherwise you end up with odd seams

[waxen lichen]

I also suck at modelling so there’s that

[abstract mango]

I series engine pack?

[lethal swift]

Does anyone know how to get to a mods population file to modify it?

[thick niche]

anyone interested in doing a s10 mod? it's a 100 dollar model i would be willing to purchase for someone to work on. it's highly detailed

I would be willing to pay commission aswell

no extra parts, just plain jane model.

[celest sundial]

wouldn't be very hard to do yourself, just base it on the D series

[thick niche]

lot smaller than d series and i wouldn't know hwere to start

[thick niche]

know of any good tutorials?

[celest sundial]

for just basic part swapping and stuff this one is pretty good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_b9p9POjQOk&t=395s

[bronze shard]

nix already has an s10 mod on his patreon anyway, not worth paying $100 for that model

[thick niche]

nix is a 4x4 extended cab

[bronze shard]

has a single cab i thought

[thick niche]

but 4x4

[cyan drum]

no

[drowsy leaf]

for now only that

i mean its actually just a i series engine but not made in 2016

[abstract mango]

could very well be earlier lol

[drowsy leaf]

it is earlier

the engine is a m88 but the one in the i series is probably a s38

which is early 80s while the etki is mid

the one im doing right now is a m88/2 or /3 that went on the E28 M5 and E24 635CSI

the m88/1 was a race engine for the BMW Motosport M1

[runic zealot]

heya anyonoe know of a mod that adds from aero for the d series ?

like a splitter or even an invisible wing that makes the boats turn

[silk tiger]

Is there any good MRAP, M-ATV or any other military vehicle mods?

[tribal fjord]

How are you editing the headlights?

[cold pewter]

what do you mean?

[barren magnet]

ax53 in the mfd server was teaching me about an interesting way to do glow maps that look really good at pretty much all angles, i can ss the explanation if you wanna give it a try for another project, see if the workflow is good for you

oh nvm youre in there

[cold pewter]

i mean i just do regular baking lol, not really special in any way

i dont know how to do them really great or anything, just simple decent looking :p

[barren magnet]

yeah ik, im just saying if you wanna go the extra mile

[cold pewter]

Sure, send me pictures

[latent ivy]

Question how can I make the fifth wheel available on the D series can I do it through blender just by importing the models?

[restive phoenix]

Still looking for somebody willing to do this

[barren magnet]

i mean you don’t animate it

look at how a vanilla car does it

the jbeams won’t be all that different

[safe gazelle]

anyone know if boost-by-gear can be applied to superchargers?

[quick badge]

Has anyone made mods for the dynamo yet?

[celest sundial]

I think there's something like that in the classic engine expansion pack, so you could look at the jbeam for those superchargers

[latent ivy]

I’m not sure if this is the right place but I don’t know anywhere else so would anyone mind advising me any way I could make this racetrack layout more realistic? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/763934279058456608/1247659436554846302/image.png?ex=6660d4e6&is=665f8366&hm=6247bbc2c5563d7b2af116347fe8e9cb366548490f792f72416bb97721832861&

[drowsy leaf]

how big is the map?

[latent ivy]

4096x4096, I wanted to get speed up and have the large mountain actually be large

[drowsy leaf]

i would add a few sharp turns

[latent ivy]

Alright, I’ll add em

[drowsy leaf]

like touge map stile 180 degree turns

add a section with those on the bottom area

[round basalt]

Guys anyone know how can i do these type of stickers in tinted windows ?

[rough iris]

I love to see how I started with a vanilla D-series, but slowly I am adding so many parts that fit seemlessly together! This time it's Loading Ramps I added!

And Yes, this does mean I figured out by myself how to make them go up and down, only took 3 tries over like 6 months

they do the doubble unfold like this

very intuitive jbeam, not at all confusing in the slightest

[latent ivy]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1245649183252152320/1247668373010255952/image.png?ex=6660dd38&is=665f8bb8&hm=a6fd20d14236bd55b989ec16956dba16bbc378447a5016391bfea0b3a485ae4e&

I got these now, toward the finat section of the track, so you slow down before decending down

[latent ivy]

that’s so cool, funky folding thingies

[rough iris]

Thanks! They even come in 4 sizes: this one, the same but longer, and both lenghts in single unfold

[lyric cedar]

Gave +1 Reputation to @blazing sail (current: #734 - 1)

[rough iris]

I am also currently thinking about making them slightly movable from left to right, so that you can load any vehicle

Not at all me over engeneering what could be a simple plank

[latent ivy]

it’d probably be easier to just make them chunky

otherwise you get too many switches to flick

[rough iris]

Alternative idea is wooden planks on each side for that makeshift extension look

[rough iris]

Good point, currently they only have one button per side, but more buttons could be confusing

[cursive peak]

does anyone know of a 2001-2003 f250 mod?

[latent ivy]

I’d change to just one switch for both sides for a more cinematic capability

[cursive peak]

ik im prob being stupid by saying this but to not show the boxes for the buttons press alt + U

[rough iris]

Good point, however I think I like it more like this, since there is more to do and it feels more immersive

[ocean mauve]

Very cool, nice work!

[cursive peak]

yes indeed

[rough iris]

Thanks!

[latent ivy]

you could make it a button combo that lets both down? That way you can do the realistic thing and get the cinematic bit too

[rough iris]

It's using these ui buttons like on car doors btw, not keybinds

So it would be weird to have one center button that does both

[latent ivy]

I meant having a seperate keybind, as like a kinda extra feature? I dunno

[rough iris]

I mean you can pause timey press both, and then unpause to have them go together, I did that for this pic

[latent ivy]

So they’re in the same place?

[rough iris]

They are on the ramps themselfs, but you can press them while paused and they will go as soon as you unpause

[latent ivy]

that makes more sense, I thought it was going round each side to access

[rough iris]

They are placed on the outer side, but you can reach them from the middle while in walking mode

[latent ivy]

yea

does anyone know of a 2001-2003 f250 mod?

dose anyone know about the city.sites file becasuse i have ripped the intornet apart trying to find a solution on why i cant have it load with the map and i have put it everywhere in the map files. in the editor i can manually load them up and even in the default beamng maps i have to load them up manually so i dont know what is going on. please message me if you have any ideas.

Dude stole my mod idea👍
My: https://www.beamng.com/resources/fully-customizable-transmission.30422/
His: https://www.beamng.com/resources/rks-highly-customizable-transmissions.31115/

[drowsy leaf]

oh dont you dare disrespect RK

[barren magnet]

rk has had the “customizable” market cornered for years at this point

he’s always stated he wanted to do transmissions eventually

[drowsy leaf]

hes the guy that made the customizable market

[barren magnet]

literally

[drowsy leaf]

you know

and his includes all cars but 4 and you only have the bx and i series

[inland flint]

This doesn't change the fact that the idea was borrowed, lol. I didn't say his mods were bad

[barren magnet]

it wasn’t borrowed?

[drowsy leaf]

no as previously stated the idea isnt borrowed

he made the customizable engine mod and wanted to make a customizable trans mod

[inland flint]

Wheels from civetta, I like it

@drowsy leaf I saw your mod https://www.beamng.com/resources/ibishu-nissan-rb26-etk-i.19278/
Would you like to work with me on my RB25 mod? https://www.beamng.com/resources/rb25det-2-5l-i6-nissan-engine-and-transmissions.25103/
I want to add support for i-series as well

[drowsy leaf]

its a 2 year old mod that has a VERY bad model

and ive already got my own rb

like one that doesnt suck ass

[inland flint]

I have the RB25 model, I just need to put it in the i-series

[drowsy leaf]

you can do what you want with that old mod of mine
theres really nothing special tho since the values are wrong and everything is pretty inaccurate

[idle leaf]

i demand a ui app organizer, one that packs neatly into those collapsible side menus and it allows me to turn the ui apps on and off

[agile ermine]

A W16 would make one heck of a crawler

[thorn glade]

Agreed

[misty kayak]

is there a decent mini mod out there

[drowsy leaf]

And I demand you shut up and stop telling others what to do

[misty onyx]

[small jackal]

I need this sticker for my real car.

[oak spindle]

If there was to be the one what would be the best free mod im board and i wanna do something but i dont wanna pay for a mod so

[ocean mauve]

Almost all mods from the official places are free

• The in-game repository
• https://www.beamng.com/resources/
• https://www.beamng.com/categories/mods.23/

Unfortunately, the search feature on the official site is pretty bad.
If you're looking for a specific map, I'd recommend googling site:beamng.com and then whatever map you're looking for.
For example, searching site:beamng.com racetrack will show all results for 'racetrack' from the official site.

[oak spindle]

Thanks 😄

[iron wing]

Is this a mod i can buy off you?

[iron wing]

What mod is this?

[thorn glade]

It’s a 2JZ mod for the BX I’ve made.

[drowsy leaf]

no its #1121527926869983283

[iron wing]

Do you have a video of it with engine sound and etc?

If anyone is looking for good engine mods, hit up Hellraiser. this car got his RB25 engine mod in it, custom engine sound and amazing model.

[dense tangle]

that model has no textures

that metal looks like a hunk of cement

[iron wing]

I presume you havent seen most ''rb26 /2jz'' engine mods

[dense tangle]

i presume you have no idea how a properly textured model looks

[iron wing]

why are you mad lol

[dense tangle]

that piping has no right in hell to be the colour of concrete

[dense tangle]

im not mad

just stupid of you to say it even looks good

it doesnt even have texuires probably just plain rgb values which is stupid when most of the stuff there can be mapped to generic perf parts in common

[iron wing]

you dont need to be enious of hellraiser. Just dont bother me with your shit talk. i dont have time for it. Thanks!🙂

proportions are wildly inconsistent on this ngl

i like the layout though

7/11 double gulp

the intake, valve cover, coils

the engine itself is quite thin

not trying to hate or anything, just calling out what im seeing

[olive island]

How do I move this thing in blue?

[cyan drum]

that is literally not how pressureWheels work

[cyan drum]

adjust these parameters inside your wheels' jbeam

[tropic maple]

For modding, how do modders get their models? Do they make their own models? Must be insanely talented to model them.

[ocean mauve]

Most real life car mods use models from other games, most lore-friendly mods use custom made models.
Though for both cases, there are exceptions.

[fathom thorn]

Correct
And all parts/addon mods are custom modelled too, unless it uses vanilla beam models

[tropic maple]

Are there plenty of artists/modellers that make models and textures of cars? Any idea how much they usually charge?

[cold pewter]

an entire car could realistically cost you up to thousands of dollars but there’s not many people who offer commissions though you would have to look

and if you want specific things done to said model it could raise it more

[urban wasp]

@wispy lotus Hey! I've replied to you on the forum, but I realized I'd share this video here so you don't have to download it from the forum link xD (as well as some other videos I made by messing with your code):

You ever make that etk turbo kit a thing?

Dude I need to make more stuff like this. I loved making this mod

[frank cove]

Am I going crazy or is the exhaust entry into the turbo on the wrong side?

Fantastic model btw

Especially love the twin turbo setup

[thorn glade]

I think you are my friend the exhausts is going into the back/hot side of the turbo

I guess I meant more wrong direction than wrong side. My b

Hi guys!
I just got a dashcam mod but know I’m looking for a mod, like the enhanced chase camera, but for the hood. If somebody had a link, please DM it to me!

hello !
im searching for someone that know verry well blender and could make me learn how to do some things that i want to do with my vehicle
i tried looking for youtube tutorials, but their methods dont work for me :/

[icy coral]

when i download offroad cars from modland they come in with the wrong tires anyone know why?

or how to fix it

[thorn glade]

Really? Cause that’s how I learned. The best way to learn is on your own

[austere lake]

yeah, i know that the best way to learn is by your own
but right now, im trying to do something, and the tutorial videos i find dont work for me, that's why im searching for a "teacher" to help me learn TnT

[thorn glade]

What are you trying to do?

[austere lake]

im trying to modify the flexbody of my automation mod
byt fusing together some fixtures so they are just "one big piece" and deform better in beamng drive

[thorn glade]

Textures have todo with UV mapping

[austere lake]

no, not the textures, really the 3D mesh of the vehicle
i can show you in a screenshare if you want

[drowsy leaf]

oh yeah that
no didnt do that

only did the twin turbo etk one

couldnt be asked to touch the vanilla etk i6 model

[icy coral]

anyone know what the best website is to download mods on?

[ocean mauve]

• The in-game repository
• https://www.beamng.com/resources/
• https://www.beamng.com/categories/mods.23/

Unfortunately, the search feature on the official site is pretty bad.

[austere lake]

BeamNG.Drive official website
the only good site to download mod (and the ingame repository)
all the other are HIGHLY unrecommended, because most of the times these mods are :
-stolen mods
-virus mods
-poor quality mods

[dense jungle]

don't use modland

I'm surprised no one has put this front on the d series

[thorn glade]

Still looks really good

[dim palm]

How do I fix my brake calibers glitching and pulling the textures between the wheel and car body?

It's a modified version of the carbon ceramic disk that has the brake pads of the normal race brakes

For some reason the calipers only glitch on the front when the front and rear are made the same

[fathom thorn]

I am too tbh
It looks very similar to a gmt400 Chevrolet front end

[dim palm]

Anybody?

[dim palm]

I don't get it

How come both modding chats are super alive and then the second I need help they both just die

[latent ivy]

Will the blender jbeam editor get like some sort of jbeam generation? Like from scratch

[drowsy leaf]

these chats are barely ever alive

you should ask in modding for dummies, there people are more active

[dim palm]

Cant

Got muted for 7 days for some bullshit

[drowsy leaf]

bullshit? you mean ignoring what people tell you and then making a fuss about it

[dim palm]

Well they said they would only mute of the drama kept going and still muted me even when it stopped

[drowsy leaf]

yeah well you had been warned multiple times before
also people arent entitled to help you, if you post maybe no one will reply so just wait

[dim palm]

Yea but I told them reason and they still gave no shit so why even try

[drowsy leaf]

being autistic isnt a reason for being an asshole to everybody, specially when most of the beamng modding community is autistic themselves

[dim palm]

I literally gave a different reason

I literally said that I learnd it from my abusive dad and never leanrd better

[drowsy leaf]

still that may be a reason for your actions but it doesnt mean people wont dislike you

if you murder someone because you think thats normal it doesnt mean you still shouldnt get charged with murder lol

if you get what i mean

[dim palm]

Yea but you can at least go easier on them

Like I already went through alot of shit so why maker it harder on them on purpose

[drowsy leaf]

yeah we had a lot of patience with you, more than i expected
its not the first time youve been annoying and youve been told multiple time

[dim palm]

I can't even learn my dream of modding just because of it

[drowsy leaf]

havent you quit modding like 5 times this week

also if you cant do what you are doing right now
why not make a simpler mod

[dim palm]

Yea because you guys purposely try and piss me off to the point that I hate even trying

[drowsy leaf]

what?

you are just being an ass about everything and getting bad responses in return

[dim palm]

How is being confused being an ass

Literally the whole reason I act like you guys are wrong about everything is because I have trust issues and feel like you just trying to make me brake my game

[barren magnet]

the entire point of the mfd server is to help people

if we intentionally fuck peoples stuff up

we’d be banned

[drowsy leaf]

we act "wrong" because you act like an asshole towards everybody, that is why you got muted

[dim palm]

Ik but that doesn't always stop trust issues from making people think they will do stuff to mess you up when the trust issues is so bad that you trust nothing at all

[barren magnet]

i have multiple people in my life with paranoia disorders

i get it, that still does not excuse the way you act towards other people

[dim palm]

Literally all I do is not trust you guys and then get mad that you keep being mean because I act like i know more then you

[drowsy leaf]

why do you not trust us
what would we gain from breaking your mod? literally nothing

[dim palm]

Because my trust issues is making it hard to trust because I trust nothing

[wheat harbor]

hey. so i have done some modding and learnt jbeams and things and moving onto my first car mod

[drowsy leaf]

anyway if you dont change your way of acting you are also eventually gonna get banned in MFD and here

[drowsy leaf]

what sorf of things have you done

[wheat harbor]

what is expected to be in a beam mod

[dim palm]

The whole problem is you need to gain my trust but you don't even try to gain it

[wheat harbor]

(detail wise)

[drowsy leaf]

that is a very broad response? like what have you modded in beam

[dim palm]

But anyway does anybody know how to fix this?

[wheat harbor]

i'm talking about like

do i need to have an engine bay, door frames, main car frame,

[dense tangle]

obviously

[wheat harbor]

how much detail

[drowsy leaf]

oh was the original message ment to be a question

[wheat harbor]

needs to be put in a mod

[dense tangle]

unless you want to drive around a 5 polygon kor

[frank cove]

A good reference would be all the vanilla cars. Everything has to be pretty similar to a real car and how that works

[drowsy leaf]

use the bastion 3d model/textures as a reference. its a very good model and textureset

[wheat harbor]

ok, i'm just saying

because i don't want my first real model car

to look like it came from world of mods, or modland

[frank cove]

My recommendation would be to modify a base game car to be something slightly different.

Something like a Coupe LeGran or something

[drowsy leaf]

but i reccomend if your experience is none or very low, to not make a irl car mod
its just very difficult

[wheat harbor]

i want it to have detail

[dense tangle]

dont even try to make a car mod tbh, just wait

[drowsy leaf]

dont dude
those are all bad and modifying already bad stuff will just give you bad stuff

[dim palm]

Actually does it even matter if I upload my mod and it has textures that get pulled between broken parts if it only happens when a front wheel brakes off?

[wheat harbor]

no i'm saying

i don't want my car model to

look like it came from there

[drowsy leaf]

oh yea i see

[frank cove]

Making a high quality real car mod takes 500 hours minimum I’d say. It’s a HUGE time investment

[drowsy leaf]

500?

thats rookie numbers

[wheat harbor]

i'm aware of that

i have patience

[drowsy leaf]

trust me you dont

[wheat harbor]

but this is what me and my friends have so far

[drowsy leaf]

assume that all the things you are gonna do are gonna take up 10 times more time than you expect

[frank cove]

Fair enough.

In that case PBR textures will set it apart from allot of mod land cars, as well as a non mesh slapped high quality Jbeam and fully animated parts

[drowsy leaf]

not a bad model

can you show wireframe

[wheat harbor]

yeah sure

[drowsy leaf]

with solid faces so i can see the polyflow

likethis

[wheat harbor]

ah yeah i see

[drowsy leaf]

is it using subsurface subdivision?

[wheat harbor]

on this model its all over the place

[drowsy leaf]

but its Really lowpoly

[wheat harbor]

yeah

i uh don't know ho to fix that

I would like a modeller to help me out with this to get the

medium details out the way

such as door frame

engine bay

pretty much that

[wheat harbor]

also no

it doesn't have that, is that an issue?

[drowsy leaf]

no

[drowsy leaf]

do stuff yourself
people arent just gonna randomly make everything

[wheat harbor]

i tried it and everything went round

like really round

[drowsy leaf]

yeah that happens

subdivision subsurface subdivides and smoothens the mesh, for very high poly models you use that

the subsdivision subsurface models before applying the modifier are generally VERY lowpoly so thats why i asked if you had it

[wheat harbor]

ah

will this make it look less...

crap

and came from a ps3 game

[dense tangle]

use it on simple mode

[drowsy leaf]

no dont

simple mode is worse

[dense tangle]

that just makes new faces between doesnt it?

[drowsy leaf]

yeah but it doesnt smoothen the polyflow thereforce its usless

[dense tangle]

then use edge creases

[wheat harbor]

uhhh

[dense tangle]

for normal subdiv

[drowsy leaf]

remove the modifier

just ignore subdivison

[wheat harbor]

ok

i don't want this to be as high quality as possible

i just want it to be acceptable

if you get what i mean

[drowsy leaf]

yea

but as i told you and as ive seen, you barely have any experience with modding

you shouldnt do a full car

and if you do dont expect people to guide you thru every single thing

[wheat harbor]

yeah i understand that

a friend is helping me with it so

thats not bad, right?

he is decent at modelling

[drowsy leaf]

what has he done

[drowsy leaf]

oh a meshslap

[wheat harbor]

is it?

[drowsy leaf]

ew

[wheat harbor]

it doesn't look like it

[drowsy leaf]

yeah it seems like a meshshlap

[strange kettle]

Wait what is that car?

[drowsy leaf]

yeah that seems very low quality+

[strange kettle]

never seen it

[wheat harbor]

its a private mod i thin-

[strange kettle]

So it’s lore friendly?

or a car that exists IRL

[wheat harbor]

i think.. its lore friendly..?

idk

he modelled this one himself

[drowsy leaf]

oh so a "lore friendly" rebadge

[wheat harbor]

idk if it's true though

[strange kettle]

Meshslaps usually can be differentiated from high quality mods the most by the interior and the jbeam

[strange kettle]

Ohh it’s a chevy!

[drowsy leaf]

id toesnt seem good

[strange kettle]

interesting

[floral salmon]

ravon r3

or r4

[drowsy leaf]

thats a gta mod

according to google at least

[floral salmon]

rebadged chevrolet for uzbekistan

[wheat harbor]

oh yeah your right

[drowsy leaf]

oh ok google found it yea

yeah it also doesnt seem very good
normal glass is eh
theres no glass on the headlights, the mesh has some shading issues

[drowsy leaf]

i couldnt find anything by that name

[strange kettle]

I bet it’s a cut off version of the modder’s name then if nothing shows up

[wheat harbor]

nah

[wheat harbor]

it is magnods

[drowsy leaf]

https://www.beamng.com/resources/volkswagen-amarok-v6-4-motion.25816/
the amarok is an automation mod and he may have just slapped a ripped model on top

yea he only uploads automation stuff

[wheat harbor]

oh yeah he said he used to do automation

then moved onto modelling so maybe the cars are private

[drowsy leaf]

idk but i doubt the guy is going to guide you thru making an entire car

[strange kettle]

See how the car deforms crash it into a wall or something

I’m curious

[drowsy leaf]

^^

[wheat harbor]

ok i will but i'll have to get the file

lemme see if he is online

welp he is not online..

damn..

how do me

The vast majority of mods are parts mods, but there’s also cad mods

#mods-discussion message

this will give you a pointer

go to Documents\BeamNG.Drive\0.32\mods\repo

put the zip file in that folder

So, in the end you didn't answered me Yesterday @thorn glade ^^'

[barren magnet]

you can join fixtures together but you will have to make sure you fix their uv after, as they wont share one until you unwrap the mesh again

[dim palm]

It's really hard to mod when you are timed out for 7 days in one of the only active modding servers

I have like 7 different problems and can't even ask for help

[austere lake]

That's what i tried to do last Time
But it wasn't working
That's why i was asking for a "blender pro" to teach me how to use it and show me why what i do doesn't work TnT

[dim palm]

Literally just because I'm timed out for 7 days my mod is going to look super low quality

I honestly find it funny how this server has over 100k members and still is dead

[barren magnet]

how are you going about joining them?

[drowsy leaf]

womp womp

[drowsy leaf]

yeah well there is 21k ppl online and barely anyone is a competent modder and most of those are not active here

[dim palm]

Like literally the main thing I want to fix is literally just the glitching front calipers

[drowsy leaf]

why cant you just use standard calipers ?

[dim palm]

They are that's the problem

I changed the brake pads one the carbon disks to use normal pads intsted of carbon and it made it so the textures pull on the front caliper when the front wheels brake off

But it doesn't on the rear

[drowsy leaf]

carbon brake pads?

you mean carbon discs?

[dim palm]

Yeah because when you use carbon ceramic disc it forces you to use the carbon ceramic brakes

They have their own custom pads

When you use carbon ceramic disc on the scintilla it forces you to use carbon brake pads

So I changed it to use normal brake pads instead of the ones that it forces you to use and it made it to the front calipers stretch their texture when the wheels break off

When it doesn't do that for the rear

[barren magnet]

why do you want the regular brake pads

[dim palm]

Because I'm using the race brake pads on front and semi race on the back like I was told in mfd

[drowsy leaf]

just use the vanilla stuff like cmon you dont need to change everything in the car

well then dont use carbon ceramics

[barren magnet]

carbon ceramic should be the same brake force just with less fade

[dim palm]

Literally the only difference between mine and the stock ones is mine have better Cooling from the fact that it's the carbon but also has the power of basic brake pads

[drowsy leaf]

just
use
vanilla
parts

[dim palm]

Literally the only difference is the slot that it grabs the brake pads from

[drowsy leaf]

wellthen it shouldnt have that issue

[dim palm]

If I use vanilla Parts my brakes are going to freaking heat up instantly and break because even with the extra cooling they're going up to a thousand the second you tap the brakes

[dim palm]

That's the whole reason I'm confused why it's doing it because it doesn't do it on the back but for some reason does it on the front when there is nothing that should be even causing it

[drowsy leaf]

because you have a 1400hp race car

which is also heavy as fuck

[dim palm]

I literally lowered it to 700hp

Plus the car isn't even heavy

It has less weight than the base scintilla

[drowsy leaf]

does the standard race scintillas brakes die

[dim palm]

No but that's because it's not low to the ground

I have tons of downforce so of course I have more fade

[drowsy leaf]

do you need that downforce

[dim palm]

Yes

That's the whole thing keeping the steering working

[drowsy leaf]

forgot you cant drive

[dim palm]

Without the downforce it just oversteers like crazy

[drowsy leaf]

driver issue

[dim palm]

Oh yes being able to do over four laps of a race without crashing a single time is bad driving

[drowsy leaf]

while i beat your time in a 300 horspower RWD etki by 10 sec and got the same time in a 200hp 930 turbo

[dim palm]

Because those cars are literally finished

[drowsy leaf]

and the scintilla isnt?

[dim palm]

My car can't even put out its full speed yet

[barren magnet]

also the herman isnt

[drowsy leaf]

yeah the herrman specially the config i was using sucked ass

it had the snappiest of oversteers

[dim palm]

So does mine even though it has like zero turning radius

Like the Turning angle is pretty much zero and it's still overs like crazy

[drowsy leaf]

sounds like driver error

[dim palm]

God damn literally everything of you is driver error

At this point I highly doubt you even know of any other word in the English language

Everything else is probably AI generated because you don't even know how to spell anything other than driver error

[drowsy leaf]

has massive downforce
has powerful engine
has awd
has low steering angle
has slicks

still spins out

[drowsy leaf]

womp womp kiddo

[dim palm]

Since when did I have slicks

[drowsy leaf]

racecar?

[dim palm]

I'm literally not using slicks at all

[drowsy leaf]

why

[dim palm]

My tires aren't even race tires

[drowsy leaf]

then use race tires dummy

theres a reason why fast racecars have slics

[dim palm]

Honestly at this point I probably should just leave it as a body mod instead of adding cars

Like I haven't even added a single car yet and it's already almost a gigabyte in size from all of the custom parts

[drowsy leaf]

how

like
how
how unoptimized can you get something

[dim palm]

Because I added a lot of custom parts and Jbeam

I literally currently have entire engine parts and entire body and I'm currently working on a new interior system

[drowsy leaf]

yeah well a not completly finished car with 2 engines, suspension, interior and a lot of body panel tuning is 90 mb while yours is 1gb

the ccf which is the most detailed car in the repository is about 500 megabites

[dim palm]

Wait it goes over 80 MB

For some reason I thought after 80 it just went up to a gigabyte

[drowsy leaf]

????????????????????????????????????????????

what logic

[dim palm]

I don't know probably the fact that I still new to having a computer at all

[drowsy leaf]

1024 byte = 1 kilobyte
1024 kylobyte = 1 megabyte
1024 megabyte = 1 gigabyte
1024 gigabyte = 1 terabyte

[dim palm]

Is it bad if my mod gets so big that it hits one terabyte?

[barren magnet]

if your mod is a tb its a fucking zip bomb

[drowsy leaf]

the entirety of beamng is 80 gigabytes

its virtually imposible

[dim palm]

I don't think I even can make something that's a terabyte because my computer only has under 300 MB storage

[drowsy leaf]

most new midrange computers have a 512gb or 1TB

[drowsy leaf]

are you sure

you only have 300mb left?

[dim palm]

I am about to punch the person that made Google Voice to Text in the fucking face

[drowsy leaf]

huh

[dim palm]

I literally said that my computer has only a storage size of under 300 GB and it said 300 MB

[drowsy leaf]

i reccomend using a keyboard

[dim palm]

Phone keyboards are literally trash at everything

Especially when you have a cracked screen

[drowsy leaf]

oh so you also dont take care of your phone

to be expected

[dim palm]

Dude we all know iPhone glasses so sensitive that you could breathe and it will shatter

[drowsy leaf]

no its just called carelesness

[barren magnet]

screen protectors exist

[dim palm]

I love how I just asked a question about brake calipers and now I'm just being attacked for How I build my car how do I drive and because my screen is cracked

[barren magnet]

use vanilla brakes

stop messing with stuff you have no clue how works

until you sit down and figure out how it works

[dim palm]

It's not even my fault that it's broken because I didn't change anything that would mess with that

If what I did broke it then why is it not broken in the back also

The rear is literally built exactly the same as the front

[barren magnet]

well it’s obviously your fault its broken because you modified it

have you ruled out syntax errors

[dim palm]

Literally all I did was make it so it used a different brake pad that does nothing to the caliper

All I did was change the pad slot to the normal disc brake

There is no reason that should make the texture on the front calipers stretch out when the wheels break off

[barren magnet]

change them back and see what it does

[dim palm]

I did and it just works normally

That's what's confusing me because why does that happen only to the front and not the rear also

[drowsy leaf]

well another blocked user it is then

[dim palm]

I didn't even do anything this time?

[ashen forum]

anyone know how to install custom car mods

[ocean mauve]

https://documentation.beamng.com/tutorials/mods/installing-mods/

[austere lake]

Difficult to explain, i dont really know blender
I tried different things about collasping and merging things like faces, vertex, or things like that, but nothing work

Maybe i could show you my screen in discord when you have some free Time ?

[barren magnet]

i dont vc with people from public discords, sorry

[austere lake]

Ah ? Why ?

[barren magnet]

i dont like dms and just prefer not to

[austere lake]

Ah ok

😦

[barren magnet]

just google how to join mesh in blender whatever version youre using

if youre trying to connect stuff in the same mesh, thats a different story

different process/tools

[austere lake]

Well, i dont really know the "blender language" so i dont really know what i need to search :/

All i know is that im making my vehicle in automation

And it's made with thousands of 3D fixtures
And in blender, i want to fuse together some fixtures

For example, i have the door trim in automation that is made with around an 100 fixtures , and i want to fuse all these fixtures together in blender, so in beamng drive it deform correctly like if it was one piece

[dense jungle]

ctrl + J joins 2 meshes
shift + N with the selected vertices merges them

[barren magnet]

i dont know how they export, if each fixture is its own mesh or if it just shoves it into one whole thing

[austere lake]

Well
Automation export just one .dae file that i Can open in blender
And my entière vehicle appear and i Can see all the different small fixtures used to make the vehicle

[barren magnet]

so you just have like 5 meshes in your list?

or 10 i think

with everything underneath

but the whole car itself is just one, correct

[austere lake]

Hmmm, give me a few minutes i need to go on my computer and open blender to show you what i have

[austere lake]

i have this when i open the dae (i just made everything invisible except the 3D fixtures of automation (that are in e100e_body0))

[barren magnet]

holy poly count

[austere lake]

uh ?

[barren magnet]

that’s all fixtures correct?

[austere lake]

yup, that's all 3D fixtures i placed in automation (and it's not even the final version, but i wanted to see how blender works)
i think in automation i am at around 2300 fixtures placed, but that doesnt count the mirrored part, if i count them double, i think i must be around the 3500 fixtures

i created the wole chassis
the whole cabin
all the nuts and bolt
the entire fuel lines and their support to attach them to the chassis, etc... i made everything xD

[barren magnet]

well if i’m brutally honest, you will have to manually retopo the entire model. thats way too high poly for beam to deform correctly. your first step would be to cut it in half down the middle, delete half, and use mirror modifier that way you dont have to hand edit both sides

[austere lake]

how do you see the number of poly ?

and thats also why i want to fuse some fixtures together
to make the model more "lowpoly"

[barren magnet]

well its not that simple

topology determines polycount

i dont remember exactly where to see polycount

i think on the right next do your view gizmo, theres a little arrow, drag that out and i think its in tools

but to reduce poly, you will have to significantly change the topology and cut out unnecessary loops

basically you are in for a massive amount of work

[austere lake]

for example, here it looks like that
but i would like to fuse the fixtures together to looks like that :

[barren magnet]

well that also is not how it works

ngons (more than 4 vertices to a face) is not good for beam (or anything for that matter)
