    Computer 3D model Mk I Escort


    Hi All,

    Recently I have been trying to model the Mk I escort in my 3D modelling software (3d Studio Max) in my PC. Thought you might like to see what I have done - not your normal die-cast model

    I managed to get a link to some blueprints from the AVO owners site which helped a lot !

    It is early on in the process at the moment - mostly just a shell - and I also tried to model some RS alloys.







    In the near future I would need some good images of some parts of the car (I am using reference photos and my memory) - in particluar close-up photos of the F O R D letters on the bonnet and boot, the Escort badge on the boot and the RS2000 wing emblem. Could anyone help ?

    Thanks,

    Dave

    that is brilliant! i dont suppose you could make it into a car which would work on midtown madness 2 could you? that allows cars which have been done in 3d studio to be put into the game.

    Re: Computer 3D model Mk I Escort

    Cheers ! Thanks guys ! And Thanks Mr "popuptoaster" ... that is VERY helpful.

    I will eventually map some RS2000 side stripes onto it.

    What racing games are you talking about, guys ?

    I am not actually holding back with creating polygons on this model, the fewer the better for game models. But I am sure I could adapt it and simplify it for a game.

    Please point me in the direction of some documentation regarding model import into your game and I will have a look

    Thanks for your help !

    UPDATE .......

    I had a look at the links to add cars into games - I'm not sure that I could convert it easily. I'll have a play around and see - there are just so many formats, and I am modelling with many polygons (not a good thing for frame rate!).

    Here is a little update - Testing the stripes (just a test shape I knwo it is not totally correct) modified the wheels, grill, body and rear :

    Re: UPDATE .......

    we havnt got one in yet, but there are LOADS of differnt cars you can add in, and also new parts of the city, i got a motorcross play park on the beach in mine, has ramps and half pipes and loop the loops.

    but can only do it on the PC! sorry

    one of the reasons i gave up on consoles and started gaming on the PC, is the games never die, you can add stuff, they are called Mods, games like Halflife have been almost completly rewritten and have a huge amount of differnt things to download.

    Thanks and UPDATE .......

    Thanks for the reference photos And the feedback

    I created the F O R D letters and the Escort script (Thanks again guys).

    Also started on the glass and rubbers. Many more little changes ..

    Thought you might like to see this - exactly the same view, one with textures the other grey-scale :




    And a front and rear view showing where I am at the moment (There is a gap down the middle because I model one side and mirror it to get the other, when I am happy with the body I will join the sides) :

    That looks F*+@ing A ! That is going to look SO good when you've finished. Can you promise to do a version with front and rear views (as above) in silver with blue stripes to be used as a desktop background?? That would look so good on my pooter

    Cheers

    UPDATE II

    Thanks again for the image !

    Helps a lot ...

    Very easy to change the No. Plate.

    managed to create the door handles ... and the RS Stripes ..

    Just a few more adjustments to the exterior before I think of the Interior ... or maybe even under the bonnet !

    I have a small image as a test on my Mobile phone ... I'll take a photo and post it later



    Still tweaking the Silver colour ....

    Hello mate - wow that looks good...!

    My Mex doesn't have any stripes - the one in my sig is a mates which went to the great scrap heap in the sky many years ago..! It doesn't have any spot lights either, so if its possible to take those off it would be great.

    Heres a pic of a Mexico badge:

    PICTURE REQUEST !!


    Hi !

    Could someone with a MK1 take a picture of the windscreen wipers for me ? And the area around the wipers - the panel with all the cutouts ... THANKS !

    And what wing mirrors are mostly on these cars now ? Is it the old 1300E style door mirror ?
