± Personal Appeal

posted by: The_Transporter on Wed 19th Jan 05, 6:43 am CET

Today I was browsing Riva's site and I saw he cancelled all his cars. It happened one of his cars was a BMW 745Li. A while back, I made a comment at the Automotion Forum that people like Riva make such great cars in very short periods of time. Now I feel this may have had an impact on his decision to cancel. I would like to apologize for the behaviour I showed in the past. I personally wanted the car to be released for MM2 but I guess it is not going to happen. Also he mentioned the fact that people just do not care for such hard work, I agree totally with him. I think everyone should appreciate the work he has done for the community.

± Updates

Hey folks, finally I can get some time to update the cars. I have not done much work on them. The BMW thread has now been officially started. If you visited the MM2 Central forums, you would have seen a sneak preview of the 745Li in progress. The Mercedes though, needs tons of work on the normals because I have these lame prints to work with so its more guesswork. Concerning exams and stuff, work may take a break from time to time because I have a lot of studying to do. Also I have to teach myself 10 chapters in Additional Mathematics within 3 months because our teaching term was disrupted due to special events in school. I have a couple of reports as well to hand in at the end of this month so work will be at a low. Anyway, have fun.

± Update: S-430, Start: BMW 745Li

Yep, this is the second car of the Luxury Package I am making. I think this car is going to be way easier than the S-Class. Basically I will make them alternately. The poly count so far is 400 on this car. I hope to rival Riva's 7 series which is on the verge of release. The detailing on this car should be very high as well. Anyways, have fun. More details to come very soon. The S-Class has been updated so check out the forum or the web site itself.

Hello. Well I have been able to spare some time to do some work on my vehicles. Work has begun on the Mercedes S-Class. Not much is done so far. The poly count is like 200 already. Anyway, I will post some shots when I finish the entire front which may be a while from now.

± Automotive Development Works Version 3.0

posted by: The_Transporter on Sat 8th Jan 05, 2:53 am CET

Hello folks. Well Automotive Development Works is in its 3rd version now. I have been told by many people this site design is leagues above the rest from version 2 and 1. It has been quite a while since the site was closed so let me just inform you all on what is really happening. Concerning site work, a new template has been designed from scratch by me. The forum runs via phpBB. I have installed version 2.0.11 which is the latest to this date. A few mods have been installed so far and more are to come. What I am worried about is that when I have to update the forum files to version 2.0.12 (or whatever), I will have to re-install all the mods manually which is a pain in the royal butt. Anyway, I have modified to forum to make your surfing experience much easier and friendlier. I am totally sorry for erasing the database from before but a fresh start was needed. On the modeling side of things, I will not actually start work until July which is very far from now. The reason for this is because I have GCE O-Level exams in the May/June period and I have to study from now as well as hand in 3 reports which are part of the exam. If you want to find out more about CGE, Click here. The next project in line is the 'Luxury Package' which consists of the BMW 745Li, Mercedes S-430, Audi A8 L and Bentley Arnage 2003 edition. The BMW 540i is pretty much cancelled because of numerous body errors which I have now discovered. Sorry for being so lazy to actually finish some work but I will try after exams. My final word is I will be active in the forums but as you know, work is on a halt. Have fun and see you in 5-6 months.
