No texture and no dash. This is the beginning.

:love: whoa!:p

i say it looks done even without a texture..........that looks perfect:D

It looks nearly perfect even with no textures, except, for the chrome parts..

They always have to be textured, have "high chrome" enabled, and, a form of lightly blue tinted greyscale gradient mapped to them..

I know this after the Citroën DS21 project, the only old (1965) car I've modelled. I still have the Citroën mesh, and textures. Compared to this Mercedes, they are very low detail.

It's looking very sharp already. It still misses some stuff, like the mercedes brand in the back and front, but these are just the first shots of the car in game. Some finished cars are not as nice as this one. Finally, my dream car is being made. Again and always: thank you, NFS Bolide.



P.S. - NFS Bolide, I have a lot of pictures, some of them pices of art and some of them of fine details, I can gather them in a ZIP file and e-mail them to you, they might help with some small (but brilliant) details. Are you interested?

I guess I was just too eager to have this car. It's my dream car, my favorite four wheeller, my worshipness and NFS Bolide is my last hope...
Are you delaying this car, NFS Bolide? Or isn't it ready yet?
Now that I've come so close at having a top-noch 300SL, I kinda feel the rug being pulled out under my feet. I'm starting to guess that if I want this car, I will have to perfect my ZModeler skills (it will take a very llllllllloooooooooonnnnnnnggggggggg time) and make one myself.

This is where I am:

I have to finish wheel, and map texture on console, inside door, body and make damage. I must find 3 hours in my schedule.

I hope I'll upload it next week-end (saturday maybe).

Mmm, love that dash already. :love:
Patience is a virtue, Pilot. ;) Quality cars aren't made overnight...

being that busy at work is a good thing, I think! :)

NFS Bolide, this kind of feedback was all i needed to rest asured for some more weeks. I now stand safe enough to say: "take the time you need, there is no rush." The Mercedes is absolutly divine, the dashboard is a piece of art (you are the best dashboard maker in the world, no doubt) and I can almost feel the taste of this baby rolling in my tracks.

you guys will have to forgive me on this one, i know my behavior is being kinda childish with this mercedes, but this is the only car i ever wanted! plus, I am such a square most of the times, so let me explode in awe and fury at least once in a while! (geez, I need to fetch something to eat, maybe the need for food is messing arround with my brain) :)

Perfection on Wheels! The car is looking absolutely awesome!
It seems that all it needs are the front and back textures and the back mercedes logo. Can't wait to have it in my hands!

P.S. - Is it me Butch, or is the Mercedes logo in the steering wheel upside down? I know that some older Mercedes trucks had the logo upside down, but I always though that they were glued that way after they have fallen off.

Perfection, man. -^ I'm getting it now...

The dash view has a sort of quirk.. On some tracks, it's almost like looking at disco lighting effects, with the flashing/rotating reflections, but, otherwise, the best 300SL out their, by far.. I haven't seen many NFS vehicles which have exterior reflections as good as this.

BTW, any body thinking of downloading this car should turn on the Anti-Aliasing feature on their video cards (if they have it). It really allows you to view the fine details of this car much better.

Also, is anyone else thinking that this 300SL Gullwing needs a 300SL Cabriolet to go along with it... (Hint, hint..) ^_^

I just love NFS Bollide cars. :) his attitude make all kind of 60's cars is just fantastic thing. :)

Bollide: there is only few cars more that I would love to see in your collection:
- 1967 Mini Marcos Mk I
- 1965 Toyota Sport 800
- 1967 Isuzu Bellet 1600GTR

after that, it would be close to perfection. :)
