i´ve added some modifications... both the scanner and redrawing the corners of the window, less tail light and turn signals cut-outs... but you know, it´s only a pic trick, it´s only that i would like a final model like this :D

and hey men, can you put this kitt onto a real scenary in 3d with reflect in the chassis!?, this would be great for doing screensavers ! :D:D:D

Great, Great WoRK! :D

Now THAT! is a fantastic idea!

Imagine if you will.. a slow moving 360° screensaver of this 3D model, with the option of adding a small selection of backgrounds [workshop, FLAG foyer, Michael Knight sitting nearby] and the scanner could also move along with it! You could also make the option off adding your own music in MIDI or MP3 [KR theme or customised MP3 with snippets of KITT talking] formats.. How cool!!!

Thoughts?? ReddawgKnight please suggest that to your friend!

Adam

yeah, model looks nice. However, some things are incorrect, in my opinion. I can't tell you what exactly, just a feeling.
But sure go on, it would be great to see more KITTs in the game scene!

Good luck

I had exactly the same feeling. Looks great, but something just isn't right

I know what you are feeling.The front nose is too big,the tops of the head rests are curved not so square,The roof needs to be smoothed out,the headlights need to be more spread outward.I dont think the font nose lower lip is supposed to be that big.Other then that everything looks realy sharp.I noticed the rear of the car.Was that taken from Daviles's version?

Nope the whole car is completely scratch made Knight Racer...
I noticed people are starting to nitpick at the model itself...please keep in mind it was built with only a *?$# load of pics as references,of course its not perfect...hell i dont ever think there will ever be a perfect KITT or KARR model ever Created due to lack of actual Blueprints.

So just please enjoy it as it is cuz it will most likely stay in this form exept for a few tweaks here and there. :wink:

ReddawgKnight.. did you suggest that 360° screen saver idea to your friend? It would certainly be unique as i do not know if that style of screen saver exists.

Cheers

Im sorry to say this but the KARR Version will remain the Basic black as KITT,but with the traditional Yellow Scanner...the reason why is my buddy erik is kinda having a hard time applying KARR paint because the front and rear bumper are not leveled out like it is on the show...so it always comes out crooked or mis alighned.

Well they are both done..but still lack an interior..also KARR dont have any silver paint on him...hopefully within a week or so from now they will be converted first to NFS 4 High Stakes,after that NFS 6 Hot Pursiut 2. :D

This is great, the first NFS 6 car based on KITT has arrived. I have both versions of KITT and KARR for NFS 4. The better ones were by Dodgeboy. I can now add KITT and KARR to NFS 6 along with the General Lee that I already have.

Yeah, I've tried buiding KITT in 3d Studio Max, but it's difficult to get bang on because the reference images are photos and stills, rather than blueprints. I've found it particularly difficult to get a decent reference image for the front.

I might have to buy a model of KITT, and take photos myself! :D

You guys realy should get in contact with the guy I refered you to.He mad an awesome Interior nearly identical to the real thing.Except for the upper and lower consoles.It would be great to have a season 3 dashboard though.

So far the cars have been converted to NFS 4(But Not publicly yet due to some loose ends that needs to be attended to) without the interior but the problem will be solved soon since knightfan40 officialy granted permission for use of his very nice and (Crispy Looking) Interior....more news when i get it...i figured i give u all an update...

Now the problem is that i need to find a modeler to install the interior since erik is done with it?

All these renders look awesome!!

Do you have any renders on KITT & KARR's dashboards?

Not a problem.

I'll need to try these renders out, also. I have several photos for the dash, so there's a good starting project for me. It shouldn't be too difficult for me, because I have a degree in CADD.

Where can I get the program at?
