California highway patrol crown vic skin 1.0.0

It's looks good but the lightbar is the big one for me.

California Highway Patrol is a great agency to practice with. And practice is really the only way to get better. There is definitely improvements that can be made, but that said, it's hard to stand out when so many people have done CHP, LAPD, LASD etc... One thing I learned was to look for a vehicle model that matches with the agencies vehicles. This includes accurate lightbars, pushbars, spot lights and even antennas.

What I find helps a lot is to take in what people suggest in comments and even reviews. If it's a reasonable request, or you can see that the suggestion will improve the realism... give it a shot :) By updating the vehicle skin, you continue to learn new techniques and improve the overall reception of the community when you show the effort and interest in providing the best content of your ability.

Another trick I use is once I feel like it's getting close to ready for release, I will put a picture of the finished product side by side with the model I made it based on and compare. helps make the differences stand out :) The closer you can get to the same profile of the vehicle the better.

(BTW I'm pretty sure I've seen you on some live streams )

For a first public release, I would say it's a good starting point.

Yes but it was very basic, I'm working on a better skin for it and finding a different model to skin for CHP

i know ya been working on this for a bit Jokez and i'm glad you finally released it. as others have said, there are room for improvements, but breaking the ice is the hard part and ya got past that :) no this will not please everyone, but who cares really when ya think about it. there are probably better CHP skins out there, but again who cares? different strokes for different folks. keep working on THIS model until you perfect it. the object of this should be to get as close as possible without being able to improve it anymore. then move on to another project.  you can still put your own spin on the skin as long as it fits in perfectly and doesnt look out of place..i mean it is your skin after all :)
