You should have somebody convert Goliath for GTA San Andreas

[cajunknight0153]

I know but this model is alot better by far!

[cajunknight0153]

ook i havent really seen it yet cuz i havent played it yet cuz my cd drive is messed up on my computer

These models would be more suited for GTA 4 as they are pretty high in detail, KITT is about 21k in polygons and Goliath is about 23k. I did Level of Detail for each model so KITT in his simplest form is 6k and Goliath is 7k. I used bump and normal maps for details such as nuts and bolts and some of KITT's body lines and such use bump mapping as well. It also gives interior carpet a textured look. I used specular maps and reflection maps as well, stuff that GTA 4 will definitely be supporting. I'm going to be making the Flag Semi soon too based on the later seasons with the sleeper. I know one was made for GTA already but I like more detail.

It would work fine in GTA SA if you had a decent machine, i dont think we'll see GTA IV for awhile on PC. Besides GTA SA was perfect for Knight Rider being set in California & Nevada. Wouldnt hurt to try would it?

Ken, is there any news about your game? Maybe a video or something?

[K2007]

oooo....it's getting better.....This is going to be something to brag about MAJOR when it's done, dude!!!!!

[msKEN]

Just an update for those who have been asking.... I'm still working on KITT.









I'm getting ready to start doing some character modeling soon, then I will start on the flag semi.

[DavidKnight]

Amazing process. Keep up the awesome work!

[cajunknight0153]

[msKEN]

Not yet on the website. The old site is still up here though but it hasn't been updated in AGES.

[msKEN]

theres somthing not right with the wheels and are you going to do spm model plus animation

What is wrong with the wheels? I modeled the rims from actual 15 inch turbo casts so if you see something horridly off please let me know so I can correct it. Thanks for the comments! Some big stuff will be coming soon regarding the game, I've just been side tracked with other projects/events.

[ki20]

no there's nothing wrong with the rims there awesome it, the tyres it might be that its not textured yet any way can you show me some more pictures and are then any betas to download oh and didnt kitt only have 2 sets of fog lights not 3

[cajunknight0153]

no it was 3

Great work!
One thing though I noticed, the top edge of the windshield goes a bit too high and the T-tops begin right from the windshield, there should be narrow area of solid metal between the T-tops and the windshield.
Perhaps the attached image from a red car shows better what I mean.

Thanks! So far I know the following....

1.) I might need to rework the tires
2.) The windshield/t-top is not proportion right
3.) The side molding on the door has a downward slope
4.) The placement of the fog lights needs to be more accurate

If anyone notices anything else please let me know! Thanks everyone!

[ki20]

can i maybe look at a beta?

[K2007]

If I were you and I had the diligence to go through with all this...I would end up completely remaking the T-Am. Sleeker, more long than tall, better rims (not that Kitt's were bad), a wicked-awesome air scoop, etc.

Plus, Kitt would speak German
