79 datsun28ozx

Hi, sorry I haven't updated in a while, I've made good progress on the modeling aspect of it and I'm working on implementing everything, unfortunately I lost my original project files for it but I have the assets and just have to reprogram it all, I'll post some more updates when I can as I'm quite busy with school but I can say that I have nice models of both the s30 and s130 and respective parts for them both.

its been a while but ive made some more progress when i could. Working on getting a model of the 240z made as well as working on the double wishbone rear subframe.

im going to put the apex suspension in the game first, then later i plan to implement T3 parts as well.

just about finished on the apex engineered subframe model

should i model the apex stuff or the T3 stuff tho, i want to wait to do the other until later in the game development.

T3 or apex engineered suspension parts for the game?

i will also put the 3d models on github.

what engine and transmission options should i put in the game. I plan to do l28et paired with the turbo 5spd, stock engine and tranny, rb20 and 25 transmission, rb26dett and tranny, ls1 and some transmission, maybe a 350. Any others that i missed that i should add?

that will be very helpful when modeling the transmission.

rear crossmember.fbx Rear Lower control arm RL v1.fbx Rear Lower control arm RR v0.fbx

most of the parts i've been building in fusion 360 then adding details and textures and such in blender. if anyone wants the part models i can post them here, they are .FBX

i also plan to have multiple versions of the 3d model, one assembled, one disassembled

in the end I hope this to be one of the most accurate 3d models, and it will be available to anyone on this site.

more parts including rear crossmember, and both rear control arms are modeled

First Iteration of a torsion bar

Well basically you start out the game with the shell of a 240z, that you inherited from your uncle or grandfather or something (not sure yet) and your goal is to re-build it before the end of summer races, you start out with very little money and so you have to do jobs to make the money, then you can buy parts for the car, I want there to be dozens of choices of engine, engine parts, suspension parts, body kits, interior, and so on. The thing is you could spend money on the oem parts which are going to be cheaper and do races to gain more money, or you can do more jobs and spend money on the more expensive parts that will make the car perform better. I plan on it to be an open world, first person game. You get parts by ordering them online and you have to wait a day in-game for them to arrive. I plan on releasing the first beta to this thread in a few months. If anyone has any suggestions I am open to them, but because it is just me and a few friends working on this I can not guarantee they will be implemented. The first few betas will be free to those on this forum for feedback reasons. If you have any other questions DM me or you can email me at zackintigh@gmail.com, i will be posting status updates on here every once and a while.

Will do! Thank you

the main focus right now is to get the body right so the rest of the car, and parts can be based around it

that would be very helpful, it doesn't have to be a drop in model as i will have to do some editing to make it work in game, just anything that can be used as an accurate reference works.

thank you, that is very helpful, if you find anything else the more info the merrier.

I am in the process of developing a game right now, and i want to use the S-chassis as the main vehicle, the problem is i need either very precise and detailed measurements to make a 3d model, or i need a CAD model, would anyone know where i could get such things, for free that is, i would spend money on this, but as this is purely a passion project im not ready to spend 100 bucks on a model that is not accurate. If anyone is wondering i plan to fill the game with tons of different parts,(engine swaps and individual pieces, suspension parts, body parts, some interior bits.) When finished i will post the download link on this thread for anyone that wishes to try it out. Game is not currently licensed so things will be named differently to avoid any legal problems.
