party wagon

dejawolf · Mar 2005

well, spent around 9 hours on this one. it's complete with a pizza table

the colours are an early test, for now.

Sean McBride · Mar 2005

haha oh god that brings back memories. Keep it up man.

Omar_Nabiev · Mar 2005

Now here's an idea for a simple mod. Get some sort of simple music support for vehicles. That way you could hop in one and hear a predefined track or set of tracks that the developer chose. For this vehicle, it would have to be a selection from Turtles in Time

dejawolf · Mar 2005

thanks for all the comments!

yeah i've been thinking of assorted music.
of course i forgot putting a stereo in there, but i do have a fold-up pizza table

as for modding, i'm not sure. was thinking far cry.

Wells · Mar 2005

this rocks

dejawolf · Mar 2005

some more work, mostly internally

well, from right to left, first there's settings for the doors, and guns.
the power measures how much guts there's left in the big battery in the rear. thinking about adding hatches in the rear wall for maintenance entry and recharging handles.

there's settings for turnig on and off most of the equipment in the vehicle. so you can put all the power to the guns for maximum firepower, or to the foot tracker, for long range scans.
there's also communications, for contact with the sewers, and splinter with a microphone activation button, and a casette player, with a storage for ddifferent casettes underneath.
i added some speakers in the roof as well, and there's some small storages for random stuff, as well as a weapons cabinet to the right of the foot tracker.
i'm thinking about a floor catapult under the opening roof, but because of the seats i'm not sure if there's space for it.

currently all the text and stuff is polygonal, but i'm going to make most of it textures later.

i tried to make every button and switch have an actual function, rather than just go for the "look techy" thing.

here's the drivers spot.

the lever moves the guns on the roof, and the big red button fires them.

the grey block is the rear view screen. i'm going to add a small hole for a camera in the green shell roof rear.
the arrow is part of the navigation system.
in the rear, there's a stick that moves a marker on a map, and the arrow points to that marker.
there's also an option to make the arrow follow the signal from the foot tracker.
target polycount is around 8000. with 2 1024X1024 textures.

Slash · Mar 2005

Really cool.. Im gonna have to dig out those bootleg vcr tapes again..

The3DGuy · Mar 2005

wow. you are a god among men. it certianly looks like a VW bus turned into a turtle van.

dejawolf · Mar 2005

hehe, thanks for the praise

i spent 2 hours hunting down reference of the VW bus,
and created it first. then i added turtles specific details, and scaled it a bit.

i started texturing it.

pizza table unfolded.

closeup of the controls.

the rear of the computers. in case something go wrong, Don can open up the left door and do some tinkering.

Vince · Mar 2005

100% pure awsomeness.

Cubik · Mar 2005

Now you've gone and done it! Now you have to model a turtle too!

Freaking cool model. Great textures, but I don't think that your text will very sharp with just two 1024 textures. Can you show the underside of the car?

Soccerman18 · Mar 2005

The control pannel looks really nice. The wires one the computers look really out of place. The control pannel is very clean and detailed, but the wires are somewhat blurry, undetailed, and have an excess of black. Adding a bunch of smaller wires and larger cables as well as other componets could add some nice detail and make it more believeable.

oXYnary · Mar 2005

Gawd this rocks.

Could you make it all more cartoonish to keep with the toy? Heh.. even funnier? Make them look like they are stickers.

Now someone needs to make a version of the new shows one.

dejawolf · Mar 2005

well, believe it or not, the text is actually textured now. using only 2 1024x1024 textures for the whole vehicle.
i'm about 75% done texturing now

as for the backside of the computers with those wires, i didn't really pay much attention, since it will mostly be hidden underneath the side door.

the work continues though, and soon i'll post more updated pics.

and no i won't make it more cartooney.
as for the new series turtle van, someone else would have to do that.

The3DGuy · Mar 2005

oXYnary he actually made the version from the cartoon, the actual toy is a bit different.
not to steal any of dejawolf's thunder, but here is my turtle van from 2 years ago....

http://www.planetquake.com/polycount/cottages/the3dguy/3d/turtlevan/turtlevan_big.jpg

like i said only the colors are a tad different, otherwise the design is pretty much the same

Sean McBride · Mar 2005

ahhh many good days rolling that thing around when i was young.

Both are a walk down memory lane. Updated top pic is AWESOME!

dejawolf · Mar 2005

messing around with a turtles head.

Steakhouse · Mar 2005

Did anyone besides me really appeciate the original characters? the ones that all had red bandanas and white eyes? And they KILLED people because they were HARDCORE!

Wells · Mar 2005

heh, yeah. the old black n white comics. still have some around here somewheres, along with the TMNT role-playing guide. lots of great artwork in there.

i am in love with this party-wagon.

i'd like to see the turtles done in a more realistic manner like you've done with the van. i understand ninja turtle mutants can only look so real, but yours looks straight out of the cartoon. perhaps a texture will fix that...

dejawolf · Mar 2005

i can't find any of the original comics anywhere

but i'd really like to read them.
but i can tell you this:

this party wagon is a lot more serious than the one in the cartoon

and yes i'm going to get the turtle looking more realistic.
he's got no texture yet.

dejawolf · Mar 2005

more wagon wahooey.

getting closer to something i can call finished.
still, the drivers and passenger place is almost completely untextured.

cholden · Mar 2005

The van is fantastic, and I love the cartoon style turtle head. I'll keep watching Dejawolf, seems like you've got everything under control.

killingpeople · Mar 2005

awesome dude, i love the ninja turtles.

dejawolf · Mar 2005

well, after the severed turtle head:

here's the amputurtle

Wells · Mar 2005

that is totally tubular, dude. good job

gauss · Mar 2005

so that's the new 5th turtle, the quadruple amputee right?

very nice work, been watching it develop and the style looks spot-on. keep it up

Sean McBride · Mar 2005

radicool!

The3DGuy · Mar 2005

rockin

nealb4me · Mar 2005

That's the first time I've seen modelled pizza hehe.

dejawolf · Mar 2005

hah, finally someone noticed my pizza!
lol, have been waiting for ages for someone to comment it

Lore · Mar 2005

Don't forget to throw in some of Mike's comics on the floor.

dejawolf · Mar 2005

of course

what does he read?
i was thinking about a pocket on the wall under the nunchuck holder.

dejawolf · Mar 2005

scale test.

the Don clones discover that having a pizza without hands is a challenging task.

Steakhouse · Mar 2005

"Yarr, twas a fine day of it till the Shredder took me digits!"

oXYnary · Mar 2005

your my hero..

Lore · Mar 2005

I recall there was a episode on the new TMNT on Fox Saturday mornings or Cartoon Network that had the Turtles help out one of Michelangelo's favorite comic book heros.

Here is synapse from the episode guide at http://www.ninjaturtles.com/

EPISODE FORTY EIGHT
"Return of the Justice Force"
Story Editor: Lloyd Goldfine
Senior Supervising Director: Chuck Patton
Written by Marty Isenberg
Synopsis:

Mikey's quest for a rare comic book leads the Turtles and Casey back to Northampton, Massachusetts where they stumble on a mystery madman's plot to kidnap all the remaining members of a now-retired super hero team known as the Justice Force. All evidence points to a former member of the team as the mastermind behind the kidnappings. But is there more to his agenda than meets the eye?

Here are some links from the above site of the Justice Force.

dejawolf · Mar 2005

i'll make a justice force comic then

for now, i've created an MNT gaiden comic
from http://obscurezodiac.com/index2.html

also created a small wall basket to store the comics, since mike treasures them so highly i doubt he would let them float around gathering dust and getting stomped on.

as for the pack of milk... i used it to measure the size of the fuel tank. it's around 73l.

and here's an update on the exterior.

added some city grit and dirt along the sides, and basic wheel textures. gonna add dirt to them as well, after i've added a treadpattern.
