Nice and shiny, GTR. I noticed some odd little pointy things on the stripes. I think they might be geometry that you may have forgot to fix:

I'm curious as to how you made the tire treads. Did you make a cylinder and then boolean them? The polies seem a bit angular and jagged in some pictures instead of smooth. In Syn3h I noticed that the bottom of the buggy was quite ugly in terms of poly flow around the edges - it almost looked like a vertex weld job :O. I'm guessing that it was the "bottom skidplate" you mentioned in your post.

@Geek377

Aubrey stated that the dimensions of the new buggy are 2x the old one - the old one was 1m by 1m so the new one is 2m by 2m ;)

Achilles, that is the result of the smooth mode in modo. It won't look like that in the game. And yes, The skidplate is the result of Aubrey's optimization to the poly count.

Aubrey added the inlay, which is a great idea. I made a smoother one that is currently on this version.

Aubrey already puts a cubemap on GTRs buggy in Syn3h. It may be that you need to turn up your quality level past fastest and fast in order to see it.

Absolutely amazing design. You should get a job as an automotive designer.
By skid plate did you mean front splitter? If not then a cool racing splitter would be awesome and great for going fast around turns.

This is not the thread to troubleshoot Syn3h, sir.

The skidplate is the bottom plate on the buggy that protects the underside when it bottoms out on jumps.

Unfortunately, you guys, I already started an animation with the buggy that will take another few days to render. So... I can't make any changes yet.

Nice animation GTR. The original pictures were a tad bit low on the quality (slightly pixelated and blurry even on the highest setting for YouTube). Another qurik is that you used the smoothed mode for the animation which made the wheel treads look a tad pecuilar and melted looking. Overall, good job.

I dont like the Syn3h buggy. 1. It is too big and bulky. 2. It doesn't flip if it's upsidedown. The old buggy does that. 3. I hate the wheels. I rather have spinning ones than a tire spinning on a static rim. ITS TOO BIG! IT WONT FIT IN ACHILLES CUSTOM CAR! AND IT DOESNT FLIP IF IT IS STUCK UPSIDEDOWN! Rating of buggy: -5 Yep! Thats below zero.

1. I'll tell Aubrey about that one. That's not in my hands. 2. That can be fixed. 3. I'll think about it

4. Don't be such a jerk.

I worked several days and gave up 6 days of time to render this for you. At least appreciate it a little.

I'll look into the wheels for you since I'm not too into the idea of static rims.

sUn (Fai)

2 weeks - 18,835v

Posted 2011/01/11 - 2:05 GMT

I actually like the static rim...

An idea that both parties might like is a inward static wheel, with a second hub within the static rim that splays outward, so you can still see the static rim, but the hub and tire rotate.

Andrew,

Constructive criticism? I don't much like the buggy either, but I also realize it's a work in progress as well.

I also appreciate GTR34's hard work, and admire him for his talents, unlike yourself obviously.

I'm quickly running out of patience with you Andrew, and many other's have already run out of patience with you.

We're tired of your spam, your arrogance, your ignorance and your rude behavior towards productive and well respected members of this forum.

Get your act together Andrew, and get a clue.

Gtr, thank you for your hard work. I personally don't like it very much because it did look rather clumsy when playing in game.

I see that you updated it since then, so I will reserve further judgement until another time. Thanks for the work once again.

4 days - 11,652v

You see, dude, that is constructive. I have to say that I agree with you. I can improve it, but certainly not mid-week.

I watched the video again and noticed a split back window, kinda cool resembling the 1963 corvette stingray. But maybe some touches later on could be a very thin chrome stripe down the middle of the window shell.
Carbon fibre would look really cool on this car too although it might be impossible.

I just played Sy3h for the first time today, and all I can say is, GTR, this vehicle is remarkable! It handles well, has no trouble scooting under the tables in the Sky King, flies well, and looks futuristic in a way that is reminiscent of the new Enterprise. This is, by far, a worthy successor to the Mars Buggy.
