still isnt helpful. i used 3DS max to try and reduce the vertices and such by using the vertices scale and setting 0.1. when i use SimPE's mesh importer, it lists all the entities, but says there are no vertices or faces. in another attempt i even saved the grouped meshes as seperate OBJ files. I really want to get the Nissan March project off the ground because i can't seem to find it on any download site. Franky, i can't really tell if the wheels are the same size. Im using the Sedan as a reference for this since its the only 4-doored car (the minivan doesn't count since it uses sliding doors) and the March is actually a hatchback.
what i mean is, the main body group, as i saw in the maxis car object, consists of the mainframe. In my Nissan March object, the main body includes things like handles, Nissan Logo, bonnet, mirror, etc, will i have to make all these pieces into one mesh and merge it together somehow? By one mesh, i am talking about having to merge all the 3d entities into one entity, possible reducing the amount of faces and vertices, which is at a ridiculous 27,000.
ok then, so what is meant by "separating" the doors, the mirrors, etc from the main body? I'm now trying to work on a Nissan March (Micra), and im facing other problems that involve me not being able to import my OBJ model into Milkshape (which I just obtained). when I import the model, milkshape zooms out to a ridiculous level and imports nothing. Am I doing something wrong? Do I have to join the entities in a group together? If so, How?
Daz_far, many creators have used premade meshes and made lovely car objects. Just make sure you separate the necessary parts such as wheels, doors, etc.
BTW, I if it isn't too much to ask, I'd love to see the smart car once it's finished as I like the look of them and was actually considering making one myself at one time. If you make it, I'd love to have it in my game as well.
you see the problem is i dont have Milkshape, i use 3DSMax
