-FAQ-
Lately I have been bombard with questions on how
to this and that. So I have discided to make a FAQ page. If the FAQ page doesn't answer
your question please feel free to e-mail me and
ask.
| 1. What Do I
Need To Create A Car? |
| Here is the list of
required tools, as follows:
- One download of the Vehicle Creation Kit,
- One registered version of 3D Studio MAX
r2.5* (full details on price, availability, distributors, etc from http://www.discreet.com/),
- Or alternatively, a download of ZModeler to create from scratch or convert vehicles from Need For Speed 4 .fce
or Sports Car GT .vrl files (you will also need the corresponding extractor or converter
for these files),
- A decent graphics package (take your
pick, there are plenty available),
- Wordpad or Notepad - both kindly
supplied as standard issues by Microsoft,
- If you're going to play with sounds, I
recommend some decent sound editing tools (again, plenty of freely available software is
out there ... somewhere),
- Some good photographs and as much
information as you can find about your subject matter,
- Oh, and not forgetting lots of time,
testing and patience!

cars to MM(2) cars.
