BZ's "Works in Progress" thread


Recommended Posts

Hey all, I figured since I've started doing stuff with models for the game, I'd post about the work I'm doing. Bear with me, I'm new to Zmodeler and whatnot, so it might take a while to become very proficient with everything.

 

Currently I've completed a unique version of Schaefft's Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor, based off the publicly released and unlocked version of BxBug123's CVPI 4.2 model.

 

After struggling with textures and learning how to mirror items correctly, I was able to accomplish giving the model have a true dual exhaust, as the real CV does.

Also included is a more realistic headlight setup. On the real CV, both parking lights are on, along with the headlight. The only way to achieve this look before was using the Indicator Mod, and by doing that you end up having the amber light reflection on the ground on all four corners of the vehicle. This modification simply ties the indicator lights in with the headlights, so when the headlights are on, so are the parking lights.

Both of these modifications are just a simple way to add more realism to the car and the game. The model can be found here: '?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>>

 

If there is enough interest, I will do a model with the 2009 style hub caps.

Other works in progress:

 

E-109 Contender Police truck (so far just a rambar, vanilla computer and radio, and 2008 Tahoe wheels... need a template for skins)

Modified Landstalker Police SUV [the unlocked model in the downloads section] (Whelen Liberty up front with rear lights removed, Tomar traffic adviser in rear)

The issue I personally have with this Landstalker is that it's too high off the ground, too big for the rest of the vehicles in the game. That's the way it came, someone modified the suspension. So I may end up starting this over with a fresh civilian version and build it up.

I will try to keep this thread updated with new projects, releases, and works in progress.

You think you could fix a small thing on the CVPI? I know I'm picky, but since it my fave model & the one I use most, I'd really like if you could :)

I'm talking about the back part of the trunk, shouldn't it be meant to be straight & flat? Instead it is all scrambled, like you can see how it reflects very weird at sun....

If you want my attention, quote me.

you should use the dsf model I don't like bxbugs ford crowns very much they are tiny

 

To the contrary, the DSF models are gigantic and unrealistic. The body dimensions are disproportional compared to the real-life CV.

 

While I do like the fact that they're low poly, I do not like how they dwarf most of the vanilla civilian cars in the game. The Schaefft CVPI model better suits the environment of the game, despite it being high poly.

Been a while, and I honestly haven't been playing LCPDFR as much because every time I try it play it, the damn thing crashes on me.

 

However, I was able to obtain a certain vehicle part recently and inspired me to do my next project...

It's not 100% yet, I still need to figure out how to properly format the number on the roof behind the light bar and see if I can track down a Code 3 siren control box instead of the Whelen that comes with most of the released public models.

Disregard my last, it had something to do with the handling line.

 

I am currently using the 2010 Taurus SHO handling line for Bugs' PI, drives like a dream in-game and no bouncing. I just made an adjustment to the AWD, made it 50/50 for better turning.

 

I also added front headlight strobes and reverse light strobes, so this thing has plenty of lights on it. I need to adjust the rear deck lights, space them out a little.
