Hello...

As a huge Mopar fan I can tell you that if you intend to make a Charger convertible, you'll never find reference material since no Charger of ANY year ever came as a convertible.

Well, OK, 1 was ever built. I found this bit of info...

"Legend has it that a single factory-approved convertible was created for the designer of the 1968 Charger. Beyond that possibility, any drop-top Chargers you might see are custom pieces."

If you want/need reference material, you're going to want to look for a Coronet of the same year that you're making.

I can't tell exactly what year that is, but it looks like a '68 or '69, (like the Dukes Of Hazzard General lee) And those years had Coronet convertibles.

This goes for anyone wanting car reference pictures...
---- Go To Ebay!----

Plenty of ads have a LOT of pictures to work with!

Good Luck, cars are a great way to learn to model!

Well i found the conv.. charger and came up with this for now.

Tell me what you think.

From what I can see, it's looking pretty good... but the perspective view in MED really doesnt show it well.

Maybe put it in a simple test level and we can see it better

Keep working at it

well heres one shot of it in a test game. does any one know of any screen capture programs that dont screw the color up?

Press the "Print" key on your keyboard, open a photo program (can be paint aswell) and hit Ctrl+V (insert as new image).
You can also hold down the Alt-key when pressing Print to only take a screenshot of the window which is active.

For the model: Looks very nice but the screenshot is a bit dark

Yes, pressing the "Print Screen" makes a copy of the screen (I do this way all the time) and that will copy ...

But to make a slight correcttion, when you open a paint program (or Windows Paint) You want to hit CTRL + V ( CTRL + C copies things.. CTRL + V pastes)

A strange cooincidence happened today, my brother went to look at a couple cars he was offered for free... but he hadnt sen them yet... turns out, one of them is a '68 Plymouth Belvedere

Just press F6 ingame, this will make a Shot_#.jpg of the current screen into the root of your workfolder (or into the savefolder if you specified one).

regards,

Hey if i post a download to this model can some one make a better textuer for the body? Im not good at car textuering

I could have a go at making a better texture for it, I'm fairly new at creating textures but I'm willing to give it a go.
