chargerbandit's epic cars

Hey guys. Long time MM fan here, recently unemployed so I decided to get back into the 3d modelling scene and make some cars that me and my friends have been fantasizing about having in MM2.

I am doing all of these oldschool MM style so they can easily blend in with the rest of the ingame cars. Eventually I hope to replace all 20 ingame cars with new ones.

Here we go, first off, a classic Citroen ZX, mostly finished, secondly, Renault Megane Coupe, very close to completion too.

Any comments appreciated, hoping to keep the community for a while longer :)

Very nice, finally something really new in the community. :P Hello and great welcome back with these very nice cars projects! :D Low polygons modeling and texturing is awesome. :)
Have you ever released cars in past? If yes, where's possible find them now? And under what author name they were released?

These are brilliant cars, these are even better than the MM models.

Thanks. I have never ever released a car for MM, let alone make one until like 3 days ago. I have been making models for fun for years now, used to do some GTA mods. A little peak at the flying Megane :)

GTA vehicles? Are you also converting that tank?

I believe you didn't undestand me completely :) These cars are completely from scratch, made by me. I just used to do GTA cars, not anymore, I am not doing any conversions.

Thanks for all the comments. Seeking some advice from you guys that probably know more than me about MM car making... the camera on my cars always goes so annoyingly low that you can't see anythign in front, any ideas how to fix it? See picture 2, comparison of the same view with the Mustang.

Thanks guys :) After a quick break because I was sick for a few days I am back with an oftenly forgotten japanese classic, the Suzuki Swift GTI... a proper replacement for the Mini Cooper. Fairly boxy, I guess it will be easy to texture.

So I have been thinking, what other cars should I make, any suggestions? For the Mustang Fastback replacement I was thinking Camaro or Charger (gotta love a good '69 Charger)... also need to find replacements for the Panoz Roadster and GTR... the cars must be mean, fast, terrifying to see in the rear mirror. Maybe a Porsche?

Wait, so it's a mod to replace all the default cars?

The shape looks perfect, good work with this new model. :) A Porsche would be ok, and seems that your target are 1990s cars, mostly European ones.

Nice models, look cool in the game. My idea is a Bugatti Veyron for the GTR-1 and some boxy-shaped car for Fastback. :wink: Are you using Zmodeler 2 for making them?
