Much much love for this

 

[Samuel Fuller]

if i could i would. having been a loving owner of a 1986 red mini chelsea and driving it like i stole it every time please remember me for the ardious task of test the beauty

 

[Rupe Wilson]

They must of heard of the fun we have in GTLegends...

It will be nice to see hows these line up against the older ones..
Would like to see the 1275 gt clubman aswell that was my weapon of choice in my younger years..

 

[CCX]

Thanks for the kind replies. If this project goes well I may consider making some other Minis...
that's if someone's willing to help me.

And Rupe, I would love to make a 1275GT too. I love all Minis really, but I wanted to start with the Rover cars as they are far easier to get data for and I will be able to compare the mod to the real thing.

 

[Rupe Wilson]

Hi,
who doesn't love a mini. I wish you great success in your project
When I saw your mini pictures all those great memories came flooding back...
Im sure you'l do a great job....

Thank you. I'll put plenty of time into the physics of the car, but if there's nobody to make a model then the mod will remain a dream sadly.

 

[Dinca Andrei]

I can try and make the 3D model of the mini PM me

 

[CCX]

Just to update this thread, Dinca is now working with me and creating the model (thanks ), and hopefully we will be able to update this thread with progress. I have all the data I should need to make the physics so I can start as soon as AC is released, and in the meantime I will be helping Dinca to make sure the model is as accurate as possible to the real thing. We're planning on modelling the sim version mostly off my car, so it will be right hand drive.

If anyone is interested in helping with sounds, please PM me.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Best of luck guys. Thanks Dinca for stepping up and help with this project. Very nice.

 

[Scott Webber]

i hope this is a dream come true, really i want to drive this beuty around!

it reminds of this...

 

[Dinca Andrei]

Peter had the ideea to post the first picture i`ve taken of the model,so as you can see the work has begun.

 

[Fred Joseph]

Can't wait for this mod !! (and the actual game LOL)

 

[XN-Sigma]

The model is looking very nice an smooth already, good work Dinca.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Looking good Dinca Going to be fun when this car can be placed in AC. Can't have enough different Mini's

 

[Cedric Germain]

YES!

 

[Dinca Andrei]

Update*

Because i am never pleased with my work,i keep trying till i got it right.I think this time i am on the right track.
First try was...hmm not right.How about this eye-scanned portion of 3D model?

P.S. No,no turbo smooth,its a low poly.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Wow made with eyescanning technology?

Looks great already Dinca

 

[diesirae]

Looking mighty fine so far, just curious about what sort of poly amounts are you aiming at?

 

[Dinca Andrei]

Eye-scanning technology is far more advanced than laser.

Looking mighty fine so far, just curious about what sort of poly amounts are you aiming at?

As low as possible without damaging the quality.I dont have a target,but i am absolutely sure with today technology will not be a problem if its not to low in the end.
