[Zeta]

this whole project is fantastic zaphod, full customization is a great idea as well. hope it plays as good as it looks

looking awesome. but why do you have the tail lights and those flat engine parts subdivided that way?

[zaphod]

well, I normally use only 10 sides for circular stuff but the tail lights looked a little blocky with only 10 sides, and you are going to be staring at the back of this mostly so I wanted them to look nice and round. As for the flat part of the engine, I don't see anything incredibly wasteful . . . I could save a triangle or two by merging some verts.

ugh, texture tomorrow:

release the model as obj and make it a texturing contest and the winner is announced in the credits of the game

Nice UV

[zaphod]

me and Brian were actually talking the other day about making it totally open so anyone could make a custom skin / kart / wheels / etc and it would be viewable by everybody. Custom maps as well perhaps.

So there could be a lot of competitions and stuff like that!

[Bic-B@ll]
