This is me working today 11-11-24

Today I wanted to make a landscape to serve three purposes. First to show how easy it is to do in OFX and second, so I have a desert looking landscape to add the El Camino to and drive it around. And third? Well, Horvi likes hilly terrain so he will probably use it for something :). So, I started by making a few height maps. No sweat, you are simply making a map using shades of gray to denote height. Try it with OFX, experiment a few times until you get the hang of doing it. You will see in the video that once I found something I thought translated well I used the clone stamp in PhotoScape to clone an entire random map while leaving several random high spots. I took that to OFX and as you see I made a wonderful map that just needed a few adjustments to make it useable. I then switched to Ultimate Unwrap and added further model improvements. Didn't know you could do that? You can. It has a ton of modeling features. After those adjustments and fixes I added just two textures. Both are seamless textures. That is where I left off today. I hope you enjoyed spending those two hours with me and that you learned something, Dell... #3dbuild #3dmodels #3dmodelingsoftware #3dmodelingtutorial

El Camino Full Build

El Camino Full Build Nov 10, 2024 

#UVWork #3DModelBuild #3dmodeler

This is all 4 parts of the El Camino, with the exception of adding it to Rad Sandbox. This does not show building the model, this concentrates on the finishing work and the UV work instead. I am open to doing more start to finish model builds if you want to see them. #UVWork #3DModelBuild #3dmodeler #openfx #radsandbox https://youtu.be/SEnEAjx0iQU

El Camino 4 - The Lifted Models

El Camino 4

I did two render builds for the lifted El Camino, one a color assigned and shaded via emissive and actual, the second with the use of an image map and a patriotic color scheme that the car I was inspired by had (That one was a lot wilder). I finished up the UV and graphic work for the two 4X4 renders so only the street version is left. After that I will add them to the site and possibly to Rad Sandbox or Render Studio.

This is a two-model package. An El Camino type project. This is not to specs, none of my models are and I do that so there are no licensing issues. This is rendered in Direct X and it is compressed. This model includes two different versions and includes all of the image maps and graphics to render the model as shown. Lifted El Camino 3D Model – Pcgeos

El Camino 3

Taking my time on this build as I have several new release novels I am slowly working on finishing, plus links, plus website work and a plethora of DR visits this last week. I haven't worked on it much this week and here it is Thursday already. I do like the way it is coming, and I hope you do as well.

El Camino part 2

A second look at the model build. I have added an S10 frame, heavily modified to fit and with leaf-spring axels added front and rear for the four wheel drive. I had a hard time finding information online regarding wheelbase for full-size Chevy Blazers, The S10 4x4 long bed frame was within an inch so I used it. #3DModels #RadSandbox #GameBuilds #3ddesign https://youtu.be/QA6aElgBVO0
