Okay, so I need to make a mesh for my first NFS 4 car. Before I go any further, there are a few things you will need to know...

-I don't draw cars, I design them;)

-99% of all my cars go more than 200 mph

-Almost all of them are either GTP, Can-Am, LM Prototype Class
600 (LMP 600) or 900 (LMP 900), or just plain-old barely street-
legal racecars.

-They all go by the name 'HMD' or Hearndon Motorsports Design

-The least powerful car makes 560 hp, and the most powerful car
makes over 1700 hp :D :D :D thanks to a Pratt & Whitney
jet turbine.

So I need:help: on three things;

-A Perfect Mesh

-Exhaust Notes that for some reason or another sound too high
pitched for 7800 rpm, and anything past 6400 rpm is played at
44,100 Hz. I change it back and it still does this...

-Texturing

-Special Effects (like a turbo whine or blower or a wastegate
blowing off excess boost)

-A Boost Gauge (see interior pics on website)

Thanx to all who help:) :D ;)

If you want to see pics, go to my website currently under construction. If it looks goofy, I started it a long time ago and haven't been able to work on it for almost a year because of Internet access problems. It is getting better though...

oops sorry about that. I didn't mean it like that; personally I'd rather you wait two weeks before you visit my site because I just started working on it, and it won't be finished for at least a month. Didn't know you guys had a "policy" about that sort of thing. I won't do it again:) Anyway I'll try to post pics on this post. If they don't show up, then I don't have any pictures under 102 K yet. Tomorrow I'll post the good stuff because the good stuff has a file size of 1,313 K The pic that should appear in this post is two cars, a front 3/4 and rear 3/4 view of the car on the same street. It's called the LM-1; the first design in a series of Le Mans style cars.

thanks; it seems that all my class mates at school hate my designs. Maybe it's because they couldn't do any better:D :D :D

Looks promising, kind of like I expect the Ferrari f60 to look (based on a few blurry spy photos, heh. ;) )
I am aware that it's your own design though, it'll be interesting to see this car in NFS4. :cool:
