Since I don't want to spam my ETS Thread with ATS stuff I decided to make an own topic over here.
The 579 was the first truck I modded when I started to mess with blender something over a year. I got a little better at it and started to play around with modeling in Blender.Short story about me: I'm playing and modding ETS and ATS for years now but mostly skins and texture editing since I had zero knowledge about Blender.
A few months ago I started to mess around with Blender. Mostly because of the lack of good mods for ATS or better said the selection of mods is just less in comparison to ETS.
I still consider myself as novice but at least I can implement most of my visions which I had for years without the dependency of other modders or their mods.
I want to share there some of my work and maybe learn something new from Blender experts in order to get better.
A little kind of "disclaimer": I have very little to no knowledge of proper 3d modeling. That's why I have to use given 3d models by SCS or even from other mods which are floating around the web or on my hard disk.
Because of this you will most likely see 3d assets from other modders or even by yourself if you are reading this.
But don't worry: my works will never be shared with the web. I'm modding mostly for my own enjoyment and to make my game better and more realistic.
That's one thing I wanted to clarify beforehand.
Still an absolute beginner but I'm having fun learning new things. Lately I was updating the 579 to 1.40 and reworking some stuff I smashed together bumblingly.
It's kind of an hate/love relationship with the 579 since I like the interior and exterior design very much but the quality of the truck is just horrible. Especially in the interior with all the normal maps instead of real meshes.
Reworked the interior as good as I could:

I started to mess around with some shops across the map. Available mods don't cover some of the oldest shops and I decided to rework them myself. Nothing special but imo still better than thos corny burger shops and yummy restaurants:
