Here is a very early wip of a modified monster truck. Just posted it for any suggestions to be made/improvements. Please bear in mind by 3dsmax skills are very weak im only just learning the basics. This truck has an angled back for stratos to launch of whilst its moving and will be featured in my stunt map im making.
hmm........rather than slanting the back downwards, why not just adjust the truck's "hydraulics" so it can be either jacked up or slammed to the ground? the slanted back would catch on the slopes of jumps, prying the rear wheels upwards and unless you have 4-wheel drive, you're stuck. but hey, i suggest you keep at it. i'd love to see that in-game . for texturing, the ramp part could use some sorta diamond-plate steel texture, like on monster-garage . if u want, i can post a pic of the texture. but this thing is gonna be FUN!! __________________
well, i mean like, keep the ramp but just don't have the back pointing down like that. jus level it with the bottom of the truck and adjust the bottom limit of the shocks so that you can slam the truck to the ground __________________
try makin the ramp flip cars too by usin the up and down buttons (the ones used for suspention) heck we could use it to catapault players too lol __________________
and JC, if u've played the pirates and been "in" the komodo, the head can be shot downwards with either the primary or alt-fire button (i forget which one) and it'll pop back up after the fire button is relased. perhaps what he could do to catapult the cars is have the fire button shoot the ramp up , launching the car, and then the ramp goes back down when the fire button is released. then can be used again as a regular ramp again. __________________
