hi, again

still I am using 3drad for my simrace game car add-ons, to create a simple tool for skin makers.
from time to time I could put here some latest info and download links

what is Car Showroom skin tool:

The showroom application is a virtual garage for car model, you can rotate and zoom the car there.
The showroom application, if runs in a window mode, allows to refresh a texture edited in another paint tool.
Some of the showroom applications are also a genstring code help tool - by switching the code table value the skin maker can immediately see what for current mesh will change. Such genstring codes are used at car-addons.

Some latest videofootage:

this time Ive used 3DRad iObjectRefresh feature, for reloading the skinmesh texture into the showroom.

ok, and here is the latest Showroom for a Cooper T73 add-on car.
Ive merged parts of previous projects, and again, my favorite iObjectRefresh is the main thingy used, this time bit more user friendly should be the skin reloading

test DOWNLOAD:
ok guys, meet the car, and start make some addotional skins

Hi BorekSt Welcome back, as usual the models look fantastic have you found an 3d engine to make it in to a game that suits you yet.

Nice collection you got there!

Good to see you're still walking about.

BorekSt · « **Reply #7 on:** May 15, 2014, 04:30:27 AM »

thanks guys,
my (hobby) work is focused on the racesim games now, but I just still love 3drad, so I am trying to use this editor at the racesim scene too, for the showroom projects or showroom screensavers

it could maybe bit increase the slowly dying interest into 3drad, who knows

another showroom images with Ford Mark IV attached.

Hello, I am your big fan, often I go to your site, nice to see the continuation of the work with 3D RAD . What a tank simulator?

KO3bMA · « **Reply #9 on:** May 15, 2014, 04:58:52 AM »

what version of 3D RAD do you use?

yes... beautiful car models... ranks right up there in appearance with Mic's car models as good as you can get with 3DRAD's lighting capabilities...

question... what is the purpose of the showroom... to display your models, or to allow users to customize models used in the various games that you've created models for... or to allow users to make models for a 3DRAD game... or what... i never got that part...

Hello BorekSt, really excellent cars, the room made in 3d rad?, greeting.

Power Supersport · « **Reply #12 on:** May 16, 2014, 01:04:34 PM »

A little question...
How do you achieved this soft shadow lighting? I really want to achieve it...

BorekSt · « **Reply #13 on:** May 18, 2014, 09:21:20 AM »

@KO3bMA: oh, thank you

well, the latest showroom projects are made with 3DRad 7.22, the earlier with 6.50, but the code is almost same.
ah, the tank thingy... well, I keep my 3d and 3DRad projects on hdd, so maybe some day I will touch it again

@TheHades24, Power Supersport: yes, all the rooms was made by me directly for 3DRad

the floor/room shadow lighting is a pure paint, no special software tool or script was used to generate such shadows. in the scene projects is no skinmesh 3d shadow infact, I wanted to do it simple as it gets

Mike Hense · « **Reply #14 on:** May 19, 2014, 08:37:18 AM »

@PowerSupport

just put a "soft shadow" image transparency under whatever you want to "shadow"... works well enough when the ground is flat...

if the object is gonna move, link it via iObjectChildTransform() or Jess's LocalToParent()...
