Tarek Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Hello Everyone,I have a couple of questions relating the modding of Emergency 4/911 First Responders,Currently im working on a mod with my mates from a clan, I just have some questions which i hope someone can answer them1. Using zmodeler OK so first thing, do i have to use zmodeler to model my vehicles and add them to EM4/911:FR? i have 3D Studio Max & Google Sketch Up 6 PRO & Antics, I don't really know how this thing works so probably some help here too, what i don't understand is what exactly is the process of adding the new vehicle or what's the difference if i use zmodeler, 3d max, antics or even paintshop also whats the format that is needed.2.What is textures?I know that textures are basically the views or looks of the vehicle/person/object but where can i get them from, or must i make them?! and how do i use them3. Getting vehicles?Also where can i get polygon models of cars for free, or any vehicle which i can basically paint job for my mod so it fits the rest of its friendly vehicles!These are my questions till now, when answered i will ask more Thank you very much in advance Tarek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use zmodeler to texture my vehicles (or uv-map for the technical term) and there is a tutorial on the main page of this website on how to do that with zmodeler.and for vehicles, sorry bud but you either have to make them yourself(somewhat hard) or ask someone else to do it(which there are not many modelers here that are not already tied up with a project)hope that helps!-Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helljumper51 Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 well if you can find them..GREAT! but odds are you wont be able to and you will have to make them from scratch. honestly it is not as hard as it seems. it would take me like an hour to do a 2800 polygon model. btw, i would make one over 2500 because the game doesn't like models that high.
