[VEHICLE][WIP] /8 Mercedes-Benz W114/W115 (1968 - 1976)
-
The Mercedes-Benz W114 and W115 are front-engine, rear-drive, five-passenger sedans and coupés introduced in 1968 and manufactured until model year 1976. Mercedes also used a '/8' on the W114/115 ID plates, indicating their 1968 launch year.
W114 models featured six-cylinder petrol engines and W115 models featured four-cylinder petrol and diesel engines.
I have two models I can work with. One, with a small number of polygons (12528) is from the game "Lowrider Extreme", and the other with 678,700 polygons was given to me by IKSR (thanks amigo)
There is no doubt that both models represent a version after facelifting from 1973. The first thing that indicates that are the taillights.
... the 3d models I have don't have an engine, so it's up to me to choose the right type of vehicle ... when I get to that part
-
Sweeeet. 678k polies is quite an overkill tho. Will you be able to reduce it for L0 somehow ? Then again, L0 is only visible from real close or when the player itself drives it.
-
@Frostelis And it also needs additional polygons for patching holes and making missing parts ...an engine should be added. I will reduce the polygons; I believe that in the end the highest lod will have somewhere between 200 - 300 k.
-
Nice. Good luck
-
The headlights, front fog lights, and front turn signals are behind the same glass.
I am still looking for optimal transparency and brightness of the glass (Everything looks different depending on the weather and time of day).
The rear lights are more or less complete.
-
For clear glass usually something around 60-70% and colored glass 95%.
-
@GreenAid I think it’s good if the top is a little more transparent so the blinker can be seen in daylight.
-
I chose the engine. It is a diesel engine OM615 which was installed in W115 (200D and 220D)
I created a badge on the trunk ... so it will be W115-200D. If for some reason it is better that it is 220D, I will be able to easily change it.
I started from undercarriage. I was looking for pictures (there aren’t many of them) and managed to put something together.
The next post will show (hopefully) how I put together the engine. I must not overdo it because intention is to reduce number of polygons in the end.
-
@NajPotez If you have proper light settings in visualsettings.dat, they can all be seen in dayllight.
-
This should be under the hood:
I came to the new 13,000 polygons by changing and assembling parts of various engines from "Forza". I also made something myself.
It still needs to be finished with textures and materials; then I need to finish the engine bay as well (more polygons). Probably an in-game video will follow when I’m done.
-
Impressiv!
-
Engine and engine bay done:

Teaser:

Nice! Will you make an US Spec version too?
-
@satyricon84 There are many differences in the headlights, turn signals, bumpers ... Also, I think that the engine should be different. I can't make it in a short time, so it won't be in this version. Maybe in another mod.
-
hi @NajPotez Nice car i like it.once you done those, can you make hillman hunter vehicles and sunbeam vogue, hillman avenger? make them LHD
-

-
@Frostelis LOL yourself.
-
@Jonathan12521 Search for "Peykan" mods... It was produced in Iran under this name until 2005. Btw, I like the car, it was on the roads of my childhood ( we called it "Sunbeam").

one more thing one of modeler made two hillman hunters https://www.gta5-mods.com/vehicles/1977-peykan-deluxe-2535 and https://www.gta5-mods.com/vehicles/1975-peykan-taxi, these are low quality and there is no hillman avenger for gta games
-
@Jonathan12521 Yes, there is no 3D model of it, I was also looking for "Plymouth Cricket" ... nothing. I can’t make a good car from scratch, so we’ll wait until it shows up.
-
ok @NajPotez
