The model has a very good look in-game, just make the windows a bit more opaque. Nice tail lights, but they can be improved, like making a bit more little the white glow. However, very nice work so far. :)
You mean reflection? The most easy was is to go in ZModeler and set the material to 'unused' instead of glowing. They're other ways too. Looks really good ingame, great work.
This step doesn't work from MM2, it's only for NFS and ZM "rendering".
Really it works also with MM2, but only if you use the Maxoff's PKG filter for ZModeler 1.07b for the model exporting. It's available here.
The manual alternative is use the MM2 City Toolkit program too called File Browser, as Riva explains. With it is also possible regulate the intensity of the shiness, with values from 0 to 255.

Really nice tail lights, I would match up the reverse with the stop lights.

Oops indeed I forgot this plugin.

BTW Radu, why do not you plan to use the same lights than the X6 ?

Good. Cool car and great look in-game. :)

He did only the glowing effect using the NFS Shift's texture for the glowings, was me who improved the effect. :wink: However that effect isn't the best for LED tail lights.

@Riva: Point taken ;) i will use those glows,

the problem was from FCEPlug-in, i set some things from that and messed a bit with matterials, anywayz.. still need a few touches this vehicle... and i should make proper properties.. and than.. the care will be ready for public

Some one have any idea how i can make those headlights led to have lightglows on day time?

I dont think you can. probably only works when paired with taillights, so will work at all times except noon i guess

The X6's tail lights were really nice. They would look good on this too, but as Franch said its mostly for LED.

Looks really nice ingame.

Really nice LEDS. ;) Try to move the glow a bit up.

Very nice Radu-Cristian, I guess that you've followed my suggestion, great result. :wink: Now the headlights glows need to be rightly placed.

i have did like your suggestion but didnt came with a good solution, i made something like MM1 lights...
btw this leds will be lit in day time too but not so visible(is a natural thing too)

and another question: how can i make that normal glow(from headlights) to be smaller? to be more clearly how can i adjust the dimensions of the headlight glow?
