Hi Everyone,

Someone made a suggestion that I should show some of the work that I've done for some LSPDFR Members and show some of the stuff that I've been working on. This thread will be where I share with you all the stuff I'm working on and/or have completed

 

About Me:

I'm 32 Years Old, I've been making vehicle models since the end of April 2016 and still always learning. I've been playing LSPDFR now for about 2 months after building my new PC. I've been playing LCPDFR however for about 2 or 3 years now. I use to be a vehicle creator for GTA 4 but with my old PC's setup I was very limited on what I could create. I've been a part of a Role play community for LCPDFR. I found out about LCPDFR from watching Bay Area Buggs videos as I came across them one day. Then gradually found my way here and then Jeff's YouTube Channel as well when their was about 6 or 7 of them in Code Zero Gaming.

 

ALSO I AM NO TEXTURE CREATOR as in I suck with Paint.net and I am not familiar with photoshop so my paint jobs always tend to be awful lol. It doesn't hurt my feelings when I hear it because I know already.

 

I have a twitch channel that I broadcast when I'm usually building a model to help new zmodeler users understand some of the basics.

I also have my YouTube channel where I upload videos as well:

COMPLETED WORK:

ELS Pack: COMING SOON

 

I am releasing soon a Fictional pack of ELS vehicles that I created for myself. All of the models featured in the Video are going to be released with the pack. The pack is currently in Beta testing to make sure I didn't overlook anything as it is about 24 to 27 cars total in the pack.

Created it so I could have fleets with matching lightbars somewhat, vehicles with all the LOD's so I didn't have to worry about disappearing car parts, and also I like to add details to the inside of the vehicle to give you that feeling your actually in one when driving first person.

 

 

 

Non ELS Pack:

I have to wait for permission if I want to release some of these vehicles but others are DEV models so I will probably be releasing them as well. All Vehicle models were Template by me (I only retemplate models that are already done because I suck when it comes to photoshop so it helps me to do it this way).Below the video is a list of what each slot the vehicle uses. Many have components that can be removed or kept (Spotlights, Rambars, ALPR Cameras, etc.) Some more work is needed on some of them but overall I'm pretty happy with it. It took about 2 months to build it just right for anyone getting into modding.

 

 

Stanier: 1998 Ford CVPI Retired Police (Can Be Found Already on LSPDFR)

Tow Truck: GTA 5 Tow Truck Templated (Can Be Found Already in the Template Pack on GTA5mods.com)

Police4: 2011 Ford CVPI with Hub Cap Covers Unmarked

PoliceT: Chevy Express 3500 Van Marked

Riot: Lenco Bear Cat

PoliceB: The Hurks BMW CHP Motocycle

Cars:

First Car: If you couldn't tell from my profile pic I own a Mitsubishi Evolution. This was my first model so it has some flaws with it. I've learned a lot after this model and plan on remaking it one day with the knowledge I have now. It was real basic of sticking a lightbar on it, converting a rambar, console, and the toughbook computer all over from my saved gta 4 textures to gta 5. It isn't multi-livery as I didn't know how to at the time but with my knowledge now I do plan on recreating it.

 

Second Car: Karin Dilettante Marked Unit: I saw a request from another LSPDFR memeber here for a Prius or Dilettante to be a marked police unit for themselves. I decided to try and fulfill the request and further my learning of vehicle modeling by giving it a shot and it turned out pretty good. At least to the point that the requester was very satisfied.

 

ELS Version:

 

First Template Job: Delta4 posted help on getting the hood and roof fixed on his model. I ended up fixing it but at the request of doing more I was given the model again and had to strip the model down and fix it so it would have the original Audi Wheels, Create a New Template that was for Multiple Liveries, Add the SA Exempt Plates to fit the car properly, and UV Map the template and SA Exempt plates to the car again.

 

Fourth Vehicle Model: A Template GTA 5 Vehicle Model "Coach" bus to mimic a LASD Prison transport vehicle. The model is the GTA 5 Coach bus that I strip down and templated, I also added the police car radio to look more accurate along with adding bars on the windows to keep prisoners from escaping. Finally I again map the SA Exempt plates on the bus so it was the correct license plate as well. Also provided the template as again I can't paint models nicely.

I'm sorry to burst your bubble here but that caprice model you have is mine and you won't be able to release with it for V.

Its nice to see everything you've worked on, great stuff!

I'm no model texture expert but I'd consider myself pretty decent when it comes to Photoshop, so if you ever need help with anything in particular or want a entire livery made I'll definitely be up for it  

 

Keep up the great work.

Ah okay.

Regarding the door logos on the Raptor. I would remove them, they'll end up covering things on certain skins

Caprice Scrapped for now

Here's what it says in the header in this section of the forums.

" Please do not create threads here unless you are actively working on a new modification that will at least be released on this site, or are ready to release one. "

The dilettante is one that is released however and even though it is marked as complete I'm always working on improving it

You could try asking POLICESCO if you can adapt his model. The car needs a tonne of work thats the only problem

Are you planning on making it marked or as an unmarked car?  

The Grill and Front lights need a lot of work.

Thanks for the lead.
 

I spoke to the original model creator and he has agreed to send me an unlocked version of the car so that I can do with it as I please as long as I don't release it unlocked and credit him for the model.

 

Looks like the old caprice will be dropped and this one will take its place. The other guy that made the unmarked version never got back to me so I'll be dealing with all the bugs and issues from the original model that he was able to fix but at least now I can release one to LSPDFR. Stay tune for more updates as they come.

Ah this Caprice. I believe it is around 300k polys, if you would like me to work with reducing the interior I'd be happy to help!

Yea its gonna need some work on the front.

 

Yea if you don't mind Captain would appreciate it.

Really awesome progress. The grill certainly looks much better!

Providing the polycount is below 300'000 it should be fine ingame. Have you tried asking. BxBuggs or Lundy? Their cars are usually low poly. Lights look A LOT better btw

Edited May 19, 20169 yr by officerAMR

Haven't tried them. Figured they would be really busy or asked so many questions that they wouldn't want to help. I went ahead and sent both of them a message as well to see.

 

Edit: Lundy as nice enough to respond back already so I'm gonna have to do a lot of work but it'll pay off in the end I hope.

Edited May 19, 20169 yr by Thero

I got the 3ds max program so I can try to lower the poly count however I have never used it before so it'll take some practice to get it down. Still having a hard time figuring out how to import into 3ds from yft YTD files

should be able to export it into OBJ or 3ds format from zmodeler from there you should be able to import it into 3dsmax.
