Idea Inside!!! @@LOOK@@ Really cool idea

[ACC0RD22]

i actually just had a good idea.

there are quite a few experienced solid modelers here, and more than a few inexperienced ones. what if we made it more of a project, and instead of charging people, made the information publicly available. it could be a cool feature for the wiki.

I say we take it a step further... put the models into a game and make a cb7-only racing game!

[ACC0RD22]

hahaha, im sure once the models are made, we could market them to a franchise, if theyre good enough that is. i mean, we could bring a ton of mods to the table with it, realistically.

good stuff, I use autodesk and inventor

I've always wanted to see CB7's in a video game! I'd love to drive one in a game where you can race or do cruising.

I guess this will do. It's a 93:

Some for the wagon guys.

to make it truely customizable, were going to have to make this a large assembly. the grille, headlights, bumpers, tails, basically everything will have to be modeled as a part (.sldprt in solidworks) and then assembled to make it really work. I would love to help out, since im fairly competent in solid works, and could at least do a headlight or grille or something of that nature.

although, im sure everything i just said had already been thought about.

Dinner_Time - Man, you are my hero!! Those prints are awesome man, thanks a ton.

Accord R33 - Did you get those prints from www.smcars.net lol. If so there the ones I posted there about 2 years ago :P. I got them from the patent website
Thanks tho man!


As for the game idea, that actually how i got into 3d modeling. I use to make cars and put them in Viper Racer, Racer, NFS... ect. Not a bad idea but it would have to be a completly diff model for it, very easy to make tho.

As for all the diff parts being there own model, thats the way I planed on doing it, as for using Solidworks, I have no idea how to use that program, im using 3D Studio Max 8 right now. Im not sure if you can import Solidworks files into Max, we will have to figure something out.

Now that I have some sweet prints im going to start on the model tomorrow and will post progress pics in this thread for those who are interested.

Glad I could help!

I hear Studio Max kicks serious butt. I haven't actually been able to use it but I hear good things. Can't wait to see the finished products!
