New USA-1... again

Post by Rep Fan »

I love USA-1, it's my fave truck, and I made a rep of the one that ran in late 80's, the 2nd one. The one I made that I have out now is 2360+ verts, and that just isn't acceptable.

The body I used is really ugly too, this time I'm making my own, starting from a stock Executioner, and now it finally looks right. Twice the detail, and only 1254 verts now.

and for those that like it when they ran chrome wheels, I made some new chrome wheels for it...

I'm getting old, {old is slang for lazy} so I'm farming out the paint duties this time. Cale has made some killer paintjobs, and he knows how, and has the programs to make it look great, so he's handling the stripes and logos for me. I'm tired of that blocky pixel look, and he knows how to smooth out the rough edges, so in a few days, there will finally be a excellent version of the 2nd USA-1.

I should take a break from the game more often, everytime I do, good things always happen.

With Cale's paint, this is going to be one <i>fine</i> looking truck. Fersure.

Well, I can tell you that I am going to have fun making this, I'm heading back to the apartment and high speed internet tomorrow so I'll be fully loaded for making this thing.

Then finish up my tutorial, start on T-Maxx (maybe), finish up Roddity, begin in earnest on Motor Species, there's classes in there somewhere... [:P]

The truck looks sweet bro, and I can't wait to see Cale's artwork on it.

I know what you mean by taking a break from truck-making.....I didn't do one for several months, and the results of that break are showing....My trucks seem to be getting better than ever.

I may take another break once my Escalade/Caddy V-16 truck is finished....Gotta build up some more inspiration juices...

I'm looking for some help right now, I need a side pic of a 1988-1998 Chevy Silverado, just one flat color. No one takes pics of them apparently! :shock:
