Omni..... INTERIOR!!!

Well out of a stroke of what I can only call luck, while cleaning out my desk the other day and found some disks, found quite a few that i had to got through, and 3 of them were in cases and labeled "Back up 1" (there was also a 2 and 3). and in the first disk alone I found a bunch of old Racer data, and some old z3d work files, one of them was for the Omni's interior. sweet. So I have been working on that.

So heres what it looked like when I found it...



and what I have so far...



I think its pretty clear what all I've added to the thing, incase you couldn't notice, here's what I've added
- the Omni Dash Plaque
- an entire center console, no detail has been left out (the drawer at the very bottom has a sliding top that isnt' textured yet)
- center console air vents
- steering column, with the ignition and key in it, and its running, whoops, might want to turn it off as to not waste too much gas lmao.

Something?

Yes I actually did something *yay* lol it wasn't much but its something, adjusted the grill on the Mini and fitted a trim piece inbetween the grille and the eyebrow, then exported to Racer, and also, applied the changes to the Countryman and exported it. There is plenty to still be done, like the gutters (drip rails?) door handles, covering the behind of the grill, making a bottom to this thing, badging, etc.

Reason for a lack of 3d stuff lately?

Ok, this is to kind of say why I haven't really said much about my 3d models, kind of obvious I haven't been working on them, I just had a "Driver's Training" meeting for a Test Driver position with Roush this morning, lasted from about 9am to 12pm. Of course thats not including the drug test, wasted another hour there waiting to be called, as the 30 people that were at that meeting were also at THAT clinic (even though there was 4 other clinics we could of gone to). I am hoping to get this job, and sadly, the job doesn't involve Mustangs, or really any Roush products, its all Fords, as in Foci, Fusion, MK-Z, MK-T, sounds like I might even get a chance to drive a new Fiesta, that would be cool.

This really isn't a 3d model, at all.

Nope, no where near being a 3d model, infact quite real, and was kind of dirty as I found out pulling it. But nonetheless, $65 (with the $15 shipping) the Headman 4-2-1 header, is finally mine, not to be mistaken with the 4-to-1, the 4-2-1 is supposed to help increase low end power, this is because of its unique design, the exhaust that comes out of the engine is assisted by the vacuum created by the previous cylinder's escaping exhaust gases, allowing the gases to escape from the cylinder faster.

But all this talk is weak, pictures are needed, right? Well here you are...

Back to normal programming

Ok I have done some modeling, not a lot, some of it is due to needing more reference shots. Firstly the Dolly Sprint, went from having detached lines in the hood, to having them connected, slightly rose the poly count, but well worth it I feel. The Caravan, is severely complex I feel, as the fender goes out from the hood then juts down and back out then juts down and well its complex. so progress will be slower on the Caravan, as I'm trying to get it right. I want it to be a lot better than my first car (The Chrysler Town and Country). The caravan is one car that I feel having to deal with loosing the hard drive, actually helped, as before it was mostly done, but not highly accurate I feel.

Not 3d modeling

Ok nothing to do with 3d modeling, at all. made a short video yesterday showcasing the chair I use at my computer, I had plucked it out of a 90 Dodge Caravan, its an electric power seat. converted to work as a computer chair.

Here's the link to the video...

Guess which car got the spotlight again....

Again the Omni gets another post about it, this time, its a big deal, this is the BETA release for the Dodge Omni (so expect some errors) I've tried to rid it of at least all the Qlog errors it had. There is a few color to select from, but no engines or transmissions to select from, this is the 87 Dodge Omni America with the 97hp 2.2l TBI 4 cylinder engine, with the 5 speed manual transaxle mated to it, (I believe its the A-555) The thing isn't a power house, nor is it very fast. The turns i feel are where it makes up for being so slow.
