No worries. and by meshes do you mean just the gmt's?
yeah so am i haha :/
It just appears to be better, might not be. have a feeling its to do with the textures more than the model. but if donnie can make smoothing changes and,
all that like the march, i guess it wouldnt matter what model..?

Good point.
I wonder what the differences are in the three different bodies. I haven't spotted them yet. I guess I need to look closer.

I made a comparison, and merlin's is the way to go! It comes with 3 different bodies, different naca ducts, different wing & wheel configs.
The body of the car has more details like mirrors, wiper, air vents etc... Also the rear tail lights look better, not just the light effects,
but the housing.

OK. If you can do the wheels, I will work on the bodies and wings. I am not sure when I can get this done though. Hopefully this weekend.
Yes, .gmt files are the meshes.

Here's my first attempt at the Corvettes : www.mediafire.com/download/wym79rayvh4su20/VetteT710.rar. This has a all three bodies and they look pretty good except for one thing : the windows are opaque. I messed with them for while and I could not fix them. I thought I would let you or Donnie or someone else have a shot at it. The cars use a GenString to select the body style, wheels, and rear wing. |

They are pretty good. I spent most of the weekend 'sorting' them out: merging into one .gen file and one.mas file, adding a body with a wing, adjusting skins, etc. Now they look like Group 5 cars. I am going to work on backfires next. I like Group 5 and GTP cars the most so I switch back and forth between them.
I have another car with the opaque windows problem so I need to sort that out first. I don't think it's an alpha channel issue but it might be. I guess I'll try that next.

It seems Donnie is just the opposite of me : he prefers the cars without the big Group5-style wings. |

I spent three hours on the Vette's windows today and I can't figure out why they are opaque. I caught one problem with the cockpit's window materials and I set both the cockpit windows and body windows material properties to be the same as the March and that didn't fix the problem.
As a test, I painted some random stuff on the window texture image and it did not appear on the car so I don't know what's going on.
For now, I am going to use an older version of the car until this problem is sorted out. Sorry about that.
