    Nice

    ...so this thread continues.  Nice.  Most of the cars I have are from the store here or Rendo as on other sites they are usually in formats that don't import and I just don't have the skill to convert and clean up any issues in a modeller (and if not free, usually out of my budget).

    Still looking for a good original Mini Cooper with RH drive. The one sold here years ago has some smoothing and Ngon issues.  

    Also looking for a good 25 window VW Safari.  My old grade school had a couple which they used as school buses.

    The push-button ignition was a luxurious way to start your car until it wasn’t

    One of my sisters has a Honda with push button start.  It shuts off if you wander away from the car a certain distance and locks up the doors.

    I feel like it's not that far off from an existing model in the Daz store, but I can't remember what it's called.

    Lukon100 - clever! and nicely done!

    Here's a 1970 AMC AMX/3  - sadly the deal to make these fell through.. model is a Sketchup model  - tok a lot of work to get it to be really useable.

    ..now that's a rare one. .Nice find and good work getting it in "Daz" rednering shape (I've heard numerous tales of getting Sketchup Warehouse models fixed & cleaned up)  

    I remember seeing it mentioned in a couple of the car magazines of the day.

    Made by the company who' we in Wisconsin affectionately referred to as "Kenosha Cadillac" . I used to work at their parts distribution warehouse in Milwaukee in the 70s.

  • hacsarthacsart Posts: 2,025

    Now that's a nice tie in!  I exported it from Sketchup as a 3ds, then pulled it into Poseray, did a vertice weld and normal recalulate and then exported as ,obj.. that was a good starting model..

    Thanks! And like your conversion from SKP format, that computer-mouse lookin' car was a conversion from another nurbs format, a SolidWorks file. It took me months to fix the mesh up, 'cause I don't know all the tricks of the trade.

    So glad I found this thread!

    There are such awesome cars here, but that 67 Chevelle, though.....

    Reminds me of one my friend had until gas prices started going up & he had to get rid of it. sad

     

    Funny that I was actually working on a render with both a car & motorcycle before I found this thread!
