Hi everyone

I'm working on focus wrc 04-05 (pics. my first model) and i'd like to conduct an early test ingame but i'm having problems with rbr exporter for 3dsmax.
I'm using 3dsmax 1012 for modeling the car and exporting it to 3ds format which i then open it with 3dsmax 5 and than i have the problem exporting the car into sgc. format.
First i was trying to export original impreza 03 which came with the exporter and i get these errors

Error exporting custom attribute for material: coll2
Error exporting custom attribute for material: Material #77
Error exporting material: coll2
Error exporting material: Material #77
No intersection with collision mesh: c_e_body

The game itself lunches as usual but when in main menu there is no car (pics)

Any help would be much appreciated  

I don't use the 3DS Max exporter but maybe you have an option to rewrite ini files ?
Can you show a picture from you car folder  please (with sgc and inis) and maybe post your main ini here.

your first model   it's very beautiful for the first  

This is a problem of scale. You probably work other than a meter in max 2012
We therefore need to pivot to the right scale

Maybe I can help you? I wrote it in Russian, but there are a lot of pictures.

Thanks for the tips so far

Yep now i see that the scale might be problem

Garyson thank you far that guide. To bad you didn't make in english but screens are quite helpful. (that car looks awesome)

I'll report back if i'll run into problems but hopefully i won't.

Well i've done some early testing of the shape and thanks to garyson guide i managed to get the model into game.
There is still lots of work to do whole interior, gravel and snow tyres, mapping, physics tweaking and than painting but with time the car will be finished.

Nice 3d!! But i have a question, why are you doing this care when its already done twice!! I'm saying twice and i have them, those 3d by 2 personne !! It doesnt mather for me but there is other cara that is not done like the evoIV or V ... But i wish you good luck with your projek!!

Cus i'm not quite satisfied with previous ford focuses.
The first one that was released has mistakes in rear wing, rear bumper, front lights, intakeroof etc. but the base is ok.
The "kazhol team" focus is ok (much better) at the back and overall but front bumper, front lights and front fenders have some errors so i decided to make one more detailed focus.

If you're not satisfied with some cars and want to remake it, you can start the M3
Just kidding, good luck for the integration of your model which looks really nice

I have made some progress on the car mostly external details

I have added wipers and suspension and I've tried to improve geometry on the edges of panels (hood, doors, etc...)

For the exterior i still need to do gravel and snow wheels and the bottom of the car but i don't have any good photos of buttom so if anyone have one pls let me know:) Thanks

Anyway some pics from 3dsmax

Wipers

Greatest work! Congratulations!

Thanks toto090369

At the moment i'm working on wheels than i'll start the buttom.

Does anyone have good photo of buttom of the focus wrc 05?

This car is ready http://rbr.onlineracing.cz/index.php?act=download&cat=1019 no sens making this

I think i've already explained myself why i'm making this car
The pyros's car isn't bad but for my taste it lacks details. It would be easier to modify existing ford focuses but i can't import them and than there is a question of author's permission to modify his creation but since i'm so far with this project i see no point in modifying.
