Editing/creating rFactor vehicles

raikkonen_man

Hi everyone,

I don't know the first thing about editing/creating rFactor vehicles, but I only wish to be pointed in the right direction and then I think I can handle it. Please please please could somebody give me a brief insight into how to edit a current rFactor model or how to create my own i.e what programs do I need (preferably free ones) and any links on how to get them would be greatly appreciated :)

Thanks in advance
 
Hi

I need to import gmt models to 3ds max, but I have 64bit version running on Win7, also 64bit. I have downloaded plugins but they are not working in 64bit software.

Is there any other way to import rfactor car models to 3dsmax?
 
Programs needed for this operation: 3ds max (32bit), gmt plugins, text editor, photoshop, time and time. Also some people do this with Zmodeler2 and 3dsimed but as I do this stuff a lot these days I prefer to use 3ds max with plugins to get the best result.
There are some tutorials and stuff out there (sorry not time to post url´s now).

But when you get into this it is much fun for sure. And dont give up! :)

@feels3, you need 32bit version of 3ds max. Plugins wont work in 64bit version. So you can install 32bit version to 64bit system/windows if you like.
 
The first step is to learn the basics of 3d modeling & mapping. Blender is free, and will allow you learn those skills without investing thousands of dollars in a program you can't utilize yet. The internet is full of tutorials on how to model cars, although you may want to start with basic poly modeling first. Always keep the end purpose in mind, there is a difference between models built for a game engine, and those built for making renders. Game models are built like a race car, you don't add unnecessary things if they can be avoided. As little polygons as possible to replicate the shape, the smallest texture and number of materials to build the model. Hopefully by the time you've mastered (or have a firm understanding of) the basics, the blender gmt plugin will be available.
 
How can I change the prameter of available modle like power,torque, gear ratios, weight...?
