In your future update you should make the trim in the back the same color are the back panel, (darker black or skin color all together) and the mirrors the lighter black plastic trim color of the door handles and moldings. If you need anymore info I can help, like tiny things interior exterior etc. (proud owner of 2009 cvpi) other than that looks good! Can't wait to try it out!!!

What exactly do you mean?

Thank you for your comment, PantherP71. I am also not sure what you mean about this. Could you please elaborate with photos? Thanks.

Disregard my previous response to your comment. All of your requests have been fulfilled in version 1.5, after discussing it with other members and referencing photos from this site. Thank you for your help in improving this resource.

No problem it is not a big deal. Good work to improve it further. The better the model gets:)

There're a few more things in your credits that could be more precise: Most parts of the HQ dashboard are from D:SF, the seats and other interior parts look a lot like Schaefft's, the grill was modeled by KevinDV and most of the headlight modifications were part of my rework of the original version, which included many other changes as well.

Thank you, Cj24. The more accurate I can make the credits, the better. I made them based off of what I found from other published models that I used for resources. I will update the description here, then I will update the ReadMe file in the download when the next version is released.

EDIT: The changes have been made to the description and credits. A lot of details get lost between the conversions of work from different individuals, so I thank you again for bringing this to our attention. I hope that you find you and others are properly credited for your work and effort. Thank you for making this possible.

That is okay. There are many differences between his release and this one. The screenshots and Features & Fixes section of the description describe these differences.

To list a few:

• The frame has been entirely overhauled - The interior was retextured for accuracy, door cards were remodeled, gaps in rear seats, rear window, headliner, etc fixed
• Exterior trim placement fixed and adjusted
• Driver's door re-aligned properly with the car
• Front fenders fixed so they have the inner metal, which was originally stuck to the frame model
• Tail lights changed with custom ones
• Front seats removed and replaced with remodeled ones that I worked on with Original Light
• Detail levels L3, L4 added to car
• I remade all of the collisions and their placement was adjusted for more proper crashes
• Various material fixes and adjustments on the body of the car
• Texture replacement, changes, and overhaul for accuracy and components added to the car
• Glass crash feature adjusted

The list goes on for quite a while, as I've been working on this for a long time. Anything not listed here appears in the description, photos, and change log. I hope that you use this resource for your work in the future. Thank you.

Sure thing. Happy to help. :)

I'm not sure why it's white on LOD 3. Did you put the GTA V vehshare.ytd textures in the same directory as the model files you imported? 

Another reason why this happened may have to do with Zmodeler 3 itself. With some of my previous works for GTA V, parts turn white on the L2, L3, etc detail levels. I believe it's a software issue, but it appears properly in game despite how it looks in Zmodeler.

i have the vehshare in a separate folder, but its one of zmodeler preloaded packs so its fine.

as far as the trim ill check the material of it to see for sure

Okay, very good. I wouldn't be too worried about it looking white, though. Here's one thing with the model:

The material used for the rear trim is the same on all LOD models. So, if it appears black on L0, L1, etc, then it will be fine.

Beautiful Model. Thanks for releasing it for DEV

If I recall correctly, police_badges.dds and grill.dds are default GTA V textures, yes. I forget if they are located in the .ytd files for the original police model, or if they're in the vehshare directory. It is one or the other.

so i found police badges and sheriff lights in police.ytd but couldn't find grill. but i was included in f544s cvpi so i used that. also its missing the emerglights texture. 

and after loading up the car again, (from a z3d) the white trim is now black :)

Excellent. I tried importing the model again myself, and the trim was black. I guess Zmodeler is just picky sometimes.

If I recall correctly, police_badges, grill, and emerglights are used in the L3, L4 models, which are far away from the player; so this won't really affect how you see the car in game. I'll have to check my archive that has the versions from 1.0, to see if they went missing in the .ytd. It seems that way, so I'll re-add these textures in the next update. Thanks for helping to look into this.

I'm sure you have noticed this, but thought I would bring it to your attention.The third brake light needs to be stretched out a little on the X axis. Thanks for the Vic! Making a model with it now!

I'm having a weird issue. None of my lights want to show through your windows. I've put them up in the hierarchy, and also above the whole material hierarchy. I'm not sure if this is your model, or something I'm doing wrong. 

@Murphy   Hey I think I found an issue or two with your Vic.  So I found there's an issue with the UV mapping on the passenger side of the car seen here:

The other issue (idk if I'm doing something wrong or it's the model) is that after "X" amount of editing in Zmodeler3 and importing/exporting I've found that the vehicle collisions get messed up (shown in the video below), and to fix them I have to remove all my added parts from the car, delete the car, re-import the base car, and then add all my stuff back on the car.

Thank you for sharing this. I have no idea why the collisions aren't working for you, as it probably has something to do with the modifications you've made in Zmodeler 3.

However, I do know why there is a problem with the trim - I must have accidentally overlooked the UV mapping for the passenger side.

I will have this fixed within this week.

This is indeed my model, but it is based off of other conversions. See the credits for further details.

To answer your question, I believe this has to do with the material hierarchy when you imported it. Make sure the materials used for your lights are above the materials for the glass components in the Materials viewer. Hope this helps.

I will be releasing an update that includes a few fixes sometime later this week.

Thank you for pointing this out. I didn't notice that yet, but that will also be fixed along with the UV mapping error on the passenger doors.

Ok, I didn't quite know if it was something I was doing or not.

 Awesome I'm glad I could help you find that bug.
