[Michael Hornbuckle]

For the love of all things internally combustible there must be at least one modder that loves the bandit trans am as much as me.....

Great work so far guys, I'm so jealous of your skills...can't wait until we get to try them in AC.

Hi, I started to model a basic Miata NA a few days ago, and I just found this topic
As I see the Spec Miata is about the NC car right?

Here is few pictures of my model of course still wip:

That is looking pretty good already! The MX-5/Miata is definitely a must have car for AC, whether it is the spec racing car or the standard road car. I will be following this topic, hopefully Wardez sees your message.

 

[Wardez]

My man, that looks fantastic already!

We actually have switched focus to NA as it's a lot more pure in the sense of racing Spec Miatas.

Would you like to team up?

I have an excellent source for references of all type, interior and exterior right here in this gallery as well btw:

It's an NB but the only different to the NA in the interior is the dash, otherwise this is a great reference for the little details!

I will buy a NA Miata as soon as I get my bloody driving license. Going to put a few mods on it for the E Stock class, slalom and autocross (pavement, kinda racetrack/slalom mix)

So basically, I want your mod

 

[Wardez]

haha, great to hear.

A lot of us in the group actually just happen to have, or have had, Miatas, so it's destiny really

We also had a couple league series sponsored by Flyin' Miata. Which may come back again for the league we set up with this mini-mod.

 

[Gergely Kiss]

Sure!
My aim was to do the basic original car first, and then modify it to the a racecar version.
Still a lot of work to do
Btw, those pictures are excellent!

 

[Wardez]

Yeah, that'd be the way to go. It's gonna be so fun to race, can't wait.

I have all of the stat's we'd ever need for it as well, so just let me know if you'd need anything else. I have a friend, John Wilding, that runs Spec Miata at Sebring who can hopefully record sound for us. Then we have coders in our league already as well. We should be able to kick ass together. Looking forward to it, and getting to you know you more.

Cheers,
Eddie

 

[Gergely Kiss]

Sounds great, I am looking forward to it also!
Thanks!

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Would be a fantastic car to have guys. Thanks very much.

 

[Hampus Andersson]

Not only are you fantastic at skins Gergely but also modelling

Btw, Mclaren skin is looking so sweet, got many compliments on it

 

[Gergely Kiss]

Thats great to hear Hampus!
Yea this is my first try at this, I am studying architecture at Uni, and I had to learn there how to use photoshop and 3ds max, so I know basic modelling and how to paint a skin and now I utilize that knowledge

 

[Gergely Kiss]

BTW, I just found this, you can scan anything with an xbox kinect, so someone could scan the miata and it would be mm perfect

and a video tutorial of it

 

[Wardez]

Wow, very cool! I wonder if anyone out there's tried it for a mod yet.

 

[Hampus Andersson]

In a week the German newspaper will say

"Nordschleife invaded during the night by 200 guys with Kinnect scanners and laptops running around the track"

Very impressive i have to say,

 

[CCX]

Great to hear you're both working together on this mod, It's looking really nice at this early stage! If you're making the spec race version, please make the road car too - I would love to have both in the game. Best of luck with the project.

 

[Shadow Explorer]

very good work,but looking at those scanning techniques saddens me.

to use a scanned data,you have to have a license as well,companies also license the use of miniuatures if they intend to scan them. (at least I know one,but they will not say the scan miniature instead of the real thing....)

It is not any better than a mere conversion from game to game.
