xXCARL1992Xx Screens & Blender work

In Blender.

( He made it.)

MAN TG3 TGX, a lot of work went into it, and even more after I learned how to fix SCS blunder with this truck after it was pointed out, and I couldn't unsee it anymore (who in there right mind thought gradient AO is in any way OK on a truck).
Other than that, paintable chassis now that it is doable, and also strange choice of color I made

Interior, with the 1.60 Beta this was the first one I updated by making it from scratch, fortunately it wasn't much in terms of 3D modeling I had to redo (basically nothing) but just copy/pasting and applying materials.
Also, 3rd truck to reach 100k km after my Scania (retired) and W900B. And smaller display, the bigger one was wasted because I don't use the corner cam (still works though).
My iPhone to make CarPlay more believable and a functioning AC are also included

And last shot a night shot, the glowing logos were made before SCS released the Holland Style DLC.

yeah, I am back, lol. Also, Linux FTW, glad I made the jump away from Windows 10 because Garbage 11 is not worth anything

That interior sure does look more utilized. Nice modifications!

[JoeAlex23]

Look who's back! Seems like you have been busy! Glad someone had the audacity to fix the AO on that MAN, looks so much better.

Cheers mate, good to see you're back from ghosting

It's really nice to see a completely white SCS truck cab. I like that charger cable

[xXCARL1992Xx]

@Drive Safely Thank you, took a bit to gather stuff to make it more "lived in", the iPhone is one of the more recent addition with the second toll device (the right one).

@JoeAlex23 After someone pointed it out I had to, glad I found a solution to do it.

Left SCS, right what I redid. It is a bit lighter than the NGD for example, but I wanted to get rid of the gradient.

@abasstreppas As you see above, good AO makes the truck white and not gray , Yes the cable, that took some time to do, Blender is finicky with the setup of the curve modifier, if I do it anywhere else then the center of the scene it screws up, idk what I do wrong.

Something from over the pond.

It's been a long time, Carl. Good to see you back!

I did something similar with the TG3 some time ago, as it really put me off of using it any furter with that strange gradient. Altough I never really bothered fully finishing it

Yeah, it takes time and trial&error, rear fender are one of those, there was always a part baked pitch black, and I couldn't figure out why. At the end it was the mesh where the rubber straps go through, to secure the top part, that "blocked" the surface to be baked properly.

Hi xXCARL1992Xx, nice to see you back
Blender has some addons that are easier to use than that curve modifier

What were they thinking...?

Good work.
