32 bpp vechicles

[Zhall]

I do suppose i will shut up and stop annoying everyone and put all of my free time to good use.

I searched the wiki for the 32 bpp vechicles and saw that the grain truck set hasnt been taken.. I did some light searching and to no avail did i find that one already existed.

Im using Ben's 3ds max light setup but i am a bit confused... The tile you are given to work upon represents one game tile correct?

Also, i am curious as to how to render my models when i am done... A pointer in the right direction would be much appreciated.

Heres a quick render of my work in progress. I figured i wouldnt pour in abunch of time before i was sure that it hadnt already been done. Comments and suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Edit: its eventually going to be based on the first model that comes out, i hope to make them all!

the back part looks good (I assume the front isn't done yet).

Sorry I can't help you on your questions, I know nothing about 3D modelling. But anyway, it's cool to see we'll be having new 32bpp graphics soon!

Heres an update of the hereford grain truck V 0.2!

The back of the cab is missing/hasnt been done yet. I based this off of a 1935 semi truck http://www.oldengine.org/shows/scrap97/aug31_06.jpg atleast thats what google said it was

I checked the wiki and thats when it comes out so it will be in the right time period when it comes out.

The strong point right now are the wheels... i spent like 2 hours perfecting them. Can you see the openttd lettering on them? I didnt think so

O well, things to come are a real cab and doors + a shorter more realistic trailer.

For now im gonna go rest. Local time = 1.32 am

Wow... Low profile tyres They look really nice. I am just not sure if they fit the vehicle. Perhaps you should keep them for something more modern?

[Zhall]

Thanks for the suggestion. Ill take that into consideration

Not only the low profile tyres are to modern, the rims are it too. Maybe the wheels are right for a sports car (truck racing?).

For the trailer of an 1930-ies truck maybe these pictures are usefull suggestions.

Opel Blitz, next one with plane and another one with higher boards (for bulk freight).

And, for transporting a cow, <trumpet>tata</trumpet>: here is Goliath.

Tschö, Auge

I think they would fit very well trucks introduced after 2000.

Nice work so far. Perhaps change the tyres to something that doesn't look as modern? Looks a bit race car to me.

The tyres definitely doesn't look like something you would find on a 30's lorry. They more look like the tyres for a modern racing car.

I'm not that happy with the trailer. Firstly the rear bumper is way too thick - judging from the scale of the lorry it looks like it is 15 cm thick or something. The ladder on the side also looks thicker than one would make a ladder in the real world. The rim of the trailer also have some strange edges that doesn't look that good (marked in red).

I think you should redo the trailer from the images posted by Auge.
