*sam* Posted Nov 6, 2007, 12:35 am	Ooh ooh! I haven't checked turbosquid recently and I found a few new cars models that weren't there the last time.. what d'you think..?
*Chase Bansi* JohnBMan033@aol.com Posted Nov 6, 2007, 1:26 am	The Baja is my favorite. Had one in high school, was a great car. For our purpose it needs doors for side armor. A combination of the 2 VW would be great.
*Speedealer* Posted Nov 6, 2007, 3:05 am	get em all!  better than an IROC, do they have a firebird? suweeet... edit: just went to turbosquid. man, there's a TON of cars! what do you look for spec wise? will any do? edit2: I think I know now. I recognize several of those chassis  also, I want a buggy pulled by mutants!
*sam* Posted Nov 6, 2007, 8:26 am	Yeah, it's a great resource - turbosquid is where I bought most of our current cars. The limiting factor is that they must have less than about 2000 polygons speed, unfortunately that rules a lot of them out. Also they must be textured. RE mutants and carts - that reminds me of Judge Dredd's Cursed Earth - a mutant horse pulling an old car with no engine. That image looks too high-poly though, the curves are too smooth.
*viKKing* Posted Nov 6, 2007, 8:35 am	VWs are looking really cool, not to mention textures are already ready for our game! Sam, I have 3 cars I downloaded a while ago for Darkwind, I'll send them to you. I found them back, while backing-up the iMac before upgrading to Leopard.
darthspanky Posted Nov 6, 2007, 12:07 pm	id love to see something fast and touph trader chaser or get away from bh car the vamps i use arnt tough enouph that second car pic is sweet looking?
Alocalypse Posted Nov 6, 2007, 2:52 pm	I like 'em all (except Speed's carriage). The the camaro is probably my favourite.
*viKKing* Posted Nov 6, 2007, 2:59 pm	Could we have this one with that paint scheme? we already have A-Team's van!
Joram Posted Nov 6, 2007, 3:46 pm	Not that we really need another small car but I really like the Bug. I was even going to suggest it before this post came up. The Camaro does look cool too.
Clifton Posted Nov 6, 2007, 5:38 pm	I like them all. Can't wait to be able to get my new video card and renew my subscription. I miss actually being able to play. hehe.
*Speedealer* Posted Nov 6, 2007, 6:55 pm	oh my god, I think I've spent over 2 hours looking at cars on turbosquid  this one's kinda cool too russian little suv
*viKKing* Posted Nov 6, 2007, 8:37 pm	That's a Lada-Niva, very common here, mostly used by hunters and farmers. Very cheap too.
Clifton Posted Nov 6, 2007, 9:44 pm	A school bus and/or a taxi would be cool additions I think.
ISHOULDCOCO Posted Nov 6, 2007, 10:56 pm	3 axle Land rover ? 2 axle flatbed truck Banana Split 6 wheeler ( Na na na - naa nen naa na!) Ack ack truck (Flatbed boxvan - with turret that can only have 270 degrees arc) Fuel Tanker Bridge laying , river fording , mine sweeping AFV. Fast attack Vehicles ( faster on road than buggy) Quite like to see a dedicated People carrying bus. with 12+ seats and 3 weapon points on left and right. I think the right of way should go to the biggest ! COCO
Joram Posted Nov 6, 2007, 11:53 pm	I strongly second the Schoolbus idea (don't know how that slipped my mind earlier!). I also really like the flatbed truck. Which would be especially cool once we get turrets implemented I just have this image in my mind of a quad 12.7mm AA gun twirling around chewing up passing cars. Ahh, the fun of it all.
*Speedealer* Posted Nov 7, 2007, 12:58 am	my favorite taxi
*Chase Bansi* JohnBMan033@aol.com Posted Nov 7, 2007, 12:59 am	Flat bed would be good for vehicle recovery too. Because it's unarmored the vehicle being transported would receive damage if attacked. Also weapons from transported vehicles could be fired IE: car placed rear facing on flatbed could fire front mounted weapons to the rear of the flatbed.
*Speedealer* Posted Nov 7, 2007, 1:59 am	sweet idea chase! there's got to be a way to haul vehicles with dead engines
Clifton Posted Nov 7, 2007, 2:20 am	that taxi is awesome speed! Good find
Yarrr Matey Posted Nov 8, 2007, 1:41 pm	There is a 3D magazine that often has models included on its disc, most of them allow for commercial usage, so that may be a cheap way to get extra vehicles. Maybe try using Moo Tools Polygon reducer to reduce the number of polys in a model?
Hula Posted Nov 13, 2007, 4:05 pm	I want this one....
*Chase Bansi* JohnBMan033@aol.com Posted Nov 20, 2007, 11:07 am	Did someone say s'cool bus?? It's dirty and cheap and low poly count.
*viKKing* Posted Nov 20, 2007, 12:18 pm	Sam already own an Imperial Bus model, Toe is dreaming of it for almost one year. Cheap should be understood "free", to match the game's development budget. A direct link to the models would have been welcome. Thanks anyway.
*sam* Posted Nov 20, 2007, 12:35 pm	Quote: Cheap should be understood "free", to match the game's development budget That's not really true, you won't get much for free. The game's development budget (not including developer time, of course, (that has never been paid for) but purely money actually spent or committed to spend at this time) runs well in excess of US$8000. I wouldn't want the impression given that we've done all this for nothing! The vehicle models I have bought to date have cost anything up to $60 each. I wouldn't be happy paying much more than that for a single model. That top bus is really nice though chase.. you have a link?

BTW, I noticed a very nice set of 3D models for an Arabian like town, with human models and vehicles (and certainly everything to be redone to have collision boxes and all), only US$1,195!  *using Lutor's technic to dodge Sam projectiles*
WolfEater Posted Nov 20, 2007, 5:06 pm	wow nice i would like to get my hand of those car's when they show up in the game
*Chase Bansi* JohnBMan033@aol.com Posted Nov 21, 2007, 1:44 am	Both buses came from turbosquid http://www.turbosquid.com/FullPreview/Index.cfm/ID/171311 2334 polys $40.75 - It's got that Dark-Wind look to it. I can imagine it row of MGs down the side....
Mad Mike Posted Nov 22, 2007, 3:09 pm	just try to please make sure the car sizes match... the big pickup looks like a ford ranger next to the landrunner
*sam* Posted Nov 22, 2007, 3:11 pm	Yes, there's a few other sizes that are slightly wrong. I want to reduce the size of the courier van and increase the size of the sonic. Please post any others here! I can fix them without too much trouble.
