VW T1 Samba+bus

the sounds don't seem to work

Personal car and bus ? Perfect ! I know what to make in this brand new car manufacture now ; )
Thanks a lot

zilonaut: :) :) yes.. i read it too and some other info from another websites dont worry ;)

First Model came in 1950 with a 1,1l engine and 18kw.
Most common was the 1,2 l engine wqith 22kw from 1954 - 1964) with 22 - 25kw.
The last models ( 1963 - 67) where equipped with the "new" 1,5ll engine with 30-32kw:

Furthermore it is not called T1 but Type 2. Means generation 1 of type 2.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_Type_2

Mostly a transporter with flat platform.
As a personal car it was sold as "Kombi". A combination of personal and cargo transporter.
Samba was the name of the luxery model for commercial bus cruises. It had windows in the roof and you could order it with a foldable part of the roof too like a semi convertible. Very rare and not common.

ZILonaut: very first models come with 22kw, but from 1959 come with 30kw so i choose this power due it was more years used than 22kw version... this all info about version etci searched on internet (also because i want to know info about model version and design differences before i start modeling to prevent i accidently can mixmatch model versions together)

The T1 had 30hp, not 30kw.
Change engine power to 22kw.

Hippy van :D

polcorp: i like you are happy and enjoy my models :) thanks

Stele:

sadly, in this very shaped cars yes.. tris are arround 10k which is still good for game... my other cars which are more ,,boxy" has arround 4-6k tris ... also due all this tris count, im doing LOD immidietly ffrom 100m distance only... so at all... my models are absolutly not heavy for your pc/game :) ... if you go with camera close...how many cars you can see on monitor? maybe 20-30? thats it

Stele: yes headlight are too much i know but no time to fix it as i have more projects..anyway doesnt matter for now..... wireframe is just for idea for people, how model look when its in WIP.... my models people like due im using some little details such as that bumpers or grills which in real are not much heavy on tris ;) but i get nice ,,plastic" effect of car and be more realistic shape.... otherwise i can do only box models of cars like many other and just put texture....
-game of course you can go very close with camera as you can see on pictures and believe me... nearly half players enjoy cam from car and driving their city with thiscam view ;)
-about bumper and smoothe corners.. no... smooth dont help if you do it from like 3 segments... you have to do it little more like i have.. than you get very nice smooth...
-wheels..im doing this way because when wheels are rotating, you dont see diference in low/high poly
-3d arround window help to get tha effect car is not boxy :)
