Repaint for the Bochum fire department, I'm tending to go with the yellow markings...

Now I'm thinking a repaint of my fire vehicles to fit the Bochum department.

What would fit better, yellow or white markings?

Update for the DAF55 distribution trucks is available with a highly improved spoiler. Thanks MaikC & Dunkel for the tips.

DAF 55/LF Distribution trucks

Sven Rose hope you like these better.

melectro The cargo size is corrected, thanks for your notification!

The steam version will be updated in a bit.

Trying with the edge split now and that does improve indeed.

1st image has a smaller angle set I like that the plating around the wheels is still flat but the bumper isn't rounded yet, 2nd image therefore is better.

I'll see for some youtube tutorial to get a more familiar as I expect you can limit the effect to parts of the mesh...

Main reason for the 2.79 version is the 3ds import feature. I just pull the uv-maps, most I just take as the (smart) unwrap will provide and then an fbx export. So for that didn't really feel the need to switch to 2.8, also as I then just got a bit used to 2.7.

Have you used the edge split modifier additionally to set the max. angle that gets smoothed?

I've used only the Shade Smooth in Blender 2.82, then with ctrl+c & v copied the mesh back to my model in Blender 2.79 and exported from there.

Unfortunatly my legacy 3D max tool (3D VIZ4 I'm using) doesn't have .obj export. Only .3ds and .stl are compatible.

But till about a year ago I had never used Blender, with practice efficiency increases, so I'll just keep going and keep learning more.

Working on the next car, being a '96 Honda Civic and experimenting with Blenders Shade smooth modifier.

A bit cumbersome as I import the 3ds in Blender 2.79, I can then copy the mesh to Blender 2.8 and there add the shade smooth modifier. The smooth modifier in 2.79 gives a different, not nice, result.

Is there a 3ds import option for Blender 2.8 that I overlooked?

thanks MaikC and more tips are always welcome

That's going to be very very good !!

But there is a function in blender called smoothing then it would not look so edgy anymore.

I must admit I'm not a fan of Blender, I use it to convert from 3ds to fbx and get some UV's, nothing more. Unfortunately Blender doesn't apply all added functions from my 3ds VIZ files. But I will have a look at it, I mainly dislike the Blender UI being so keyboard driven.

HI. Danke für deine Mods.

Ich hab heute mal die DAF55 plaziert und einen kleinen Schönheitsfehler am Kabinen Dach bemerkt. Bild anbei.

If you mean the square shape, mainly visible in the spoiler, that is currently just how it is as I did want to keep the tris limited.

The 2nd vehicle that is completed is the 90's Alfa Romeo Spider.

You've really made work of it

Repainting might be an issue, the uv maps aren't really nice, so my paint materials are basicly plains.

The first car is done, meaning lods are added and the asset is created.

It will be a while till I've got all done as I want to have 15 to 20 vehicles in the first pack, each in a few or more colors. For the Alfa 155 I've settled on 6 colors and minor differences in interior color and rear spoiler.

sometimes simplicity is key

Or the sound of walking? With a squealing bird that is being pulled on the tail as a horn?

...if You build this, I´ll build a pterodactyl airliner to go with it

Just need to add that bird .

But I do see some possibility to use this for a theme park ride in game. So the 2nd image has a bar to hold the passengers and features no driver. lol
