I think I saw one of those recently!
Dana
Close, more like Ford Maranello Red, one of Tom2099's shaders, sadly, the paint shaders I paid for from DAZ don't work as well as the freebies from Tom2099.
Yeah Tom2099s set is real nice was happy when I found it and it turned out to be so good
Great story, and that HDRI looks perfect for car renders. Do you have a link? Nice looking Goat btw.
Thank you so much for that link Robert!!!
Yes, she is. I wouldn't mind dating mss Red.
There are two sets of car shaders from him now, plus some military shaders, still all free, and to me anyway, still the best!
Nice Ford GL! Awesome chrome wheel shaders...which are they...Toms? The white walls just give the entire render life! And is that THIS Ford, or is it the Ford you have been building for a long time? If so, I remember you started with the empty hull of a body...lol. It is just beautiful in this render. Great job!
Thats the Model A you have there, I simply used a warehous flathead V8, and wheels and tires from Nationale7's wheel and tire bundle, so yes, that one isn't the Duece, I still play with that Duece, right now I don't have any presets for it in my current installation of DS, but it will eventually end up being used on this computer as well.
Okay, after answering Mus yesterday, I had to put the Duece back into play, the Roadster up front is from Dudley, and is available at DAZ, the other one behind it, is the Duece Coupe that Mus was talking about, all one could download for that one then was the body, frame and radiator shell, there is a lot more to it now over on the warehouse, but I wanted it to be more retro, so that is what I aimed for, this is a Friday Night Cruise on Blake Ave.
Now that'sreally nice.. I have never had any luck with a GTA conversion. Can never figure out exactly how to get them do work.. Could you share that model, perhaps?
You can start by buying zmodeler, which is one of very few programs that will open renderware.dff files, and convert it to an obj file and work on it in Blender or Poser from there, or you can download a dff plugin for Blender and usually open them that way, once in Blender, you will want to eliminate the DAM files, since you won't much need those anyway, alt.H will open those files and you can simply delete them, sometimes there are very few, sometimes there are many, but you just have to pick the right files to delete, of course you will also need the TXD workshop in order to open the texture files so you will have your headlights, gauges and other items of need to make the model complete, the models aren't really ours to share, so that is kind of out of the question.
Ok.. Thanks.. Will give that a try... There may be questions!
Am I right that Zmodeler is a month to month subscription type software?
I think you only pay for it once, it isn't very expensive, but even if it is, you only need about a month to squeeze out the cars you want anyway!
Here ya go Mus, the Deuce Coupe from the warehouse, its had a nice long run with me thats for sure!
I simply just export the skp cars out of sketchup as obj's, we can do that now, I'm running Sk2017, since it would have made no sense to download and use an older version, still use Poser 7 to tie into the DS libraries too, great that even in Windows 10, Poser 7 still works like new, I still do all my work in Blender to get the model ready for use in Poser.
THAT would be it. Still a nice keeper. You worked hard on it, I remember. Been 20 different tires on it, 10 different engines, a hundred different colors befoe you were happy with it...hahaha! Great car.
This latest version of it, while I'm happy with the retro Deuce 2 as I call it, it has a fresh coat of Iray paint and chrome on it! LOL
I have Poser7 I bought from the poser sight. It is full version and was expensive. I installed it into this pooter (windows 10) and it will not work. It loads with Simon up and when I hit "delete figure" it freezes and locks up, or anything I push or move, locks up immediately. Then it does a web search for a fix and closes. How did you get yours to work?
Also...when I export any .obj from Sketchup parts or textures are always missing from the .obj file. It sux real bad. Thats why I do .3ds...always works and has the textures in place. How do I get the .obj exporter to work right?
I couldn't tell you about how to get Poser to work for you, I had the same problem with the same software on my previous version of Windows 10, but when I bought a new computer, it seems to work flawlessly, exporting obj's from sk has never been perfect, so they do require work, I do it in Blender myself, and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
Looks to be a subscription after the foirst 30 days - website says "from 2.92 per month"
Ok.. too much shiny here.... have a rat rod! This is an older model from 2006 or so, I think, came on one of those cds of free stuff that some of the 3D related magazines used to come with.. Old enough that it only came in .3ds format
Did a bit of kitbashing to remove the elements I didn't want and added some bits and bobs..
I like it nice Rat
Cool. Looks kind of rusty. Is that a shader?
Dana
yep.. 3dl shader....
Rust-icator
Yup it's a rat....rats are not shiney...haha. Looks good!
Where can I find these free car shaders???
