Overhead images of KITT
progress:
I'm trying to make my own 3D computer models of KITT and want to make them as accurate as possible. But I need more reference. Specifically, I NEED overhead shots of KITT. I also could use a profile shot of the front bumper. Anybody know what episodes are best? I've got the three seasons on DVD ...

Oh and just to show you *something* here's a WIP of the diagrams I'll be using to generate my models. They're obviously not finished, and not tweaked to perfection, but they're close.

I had a stab at making a 3D KITT but was kinda limited by not having exact measurements (so I had to guestimate everything) and having to get by with looking at screen grabs from the DVD boxsets.
I should have some overhead images somewhere so I'll go dig for them and stick them online. Not sure when but hopefully by the end of the week (Sunday by the very latest).
Depends if you can wait that long
PS the drawings are cool. I always did have difficulty with the front shot of KITT.

I've been using Max 7 but seem to have real difficulty in getting the right materials to apply to the car (the black paint and the glass) so all I can manage is this: clicky andclicky 2BoMcD wrote:It's Max 8...
The polygon count is quite high.. the rendering plug in that I use creates the outline "vector" drawings...
Any advice you can offer?

I haven't messed with it yet, but you'll want to use several material attributes - For the paint: one attribute that has a sort of soft light look to it and one that has the hard highlights. for the glass, you can set transparency with highlights. That's likely what I'll do. Just mess with it Also, you should use actual lights and not the automatic lighting generated by max.

Simple my buddy modeled it for me after pesturing him about it for over a year....the game mode kitt....well you simply have to have the model finished before it goes into any games,yes that is GTA San Andreas The First Edition for PC only.
My car is about 20 or 30,000 pollies i think...im not really sure but any thing up to 100,000 pollies or triangles can be put into gta games.
