Opel Speedster

Opel Speedster

The new Opel Speedster breaks through the barriers of ordinary thinking and conventional technology with a stylish, futuristic design, amazing acceleration and a road-holding experience like no other.

Opel's leading edge thinking has resulted in a lightweight vehicle with an enhanced power-to-mass ratio, ensuring pure driving excitement.

Exceptional agility is achieved by placing the powertrain system right near the centre of the car's axis. By positioning much of the car's mass centrally, Opel's engineers have ensured that less force is required to turn the car, allowing the experienced driver to fully appreciate the power of this rear wheel-drive machine.

I put the car into the class B, Serial #7

Installing the car

- Unzip all files into the NFS4 main-directory.

- Start "Install_Opel_Speedster.bat".

The batch creates a new car folder "OSpd" in the "\data\cars\"-folder of the nfs main-directory and moves the "car.viv" into it. The videowall file "OSpd.qfs" will be moved to "\data\feart\vidwall\".

Used tools:

- Cinema4D XL R6 (modelling and texture mapping)

- Photoshop 5.5 (creating the textures, videowall and predefined colors)

- FCE Compiler (converting to NFS4 mesh data file)

- NFS Wizard (putting all together and editing car performance data)

Thanks to Jesper Juul-Mortenson for developing "NFS Wizard" and "Addict" for decoding and publishing the NFS FCE mesh data file format.

You may distribute the zip file in it's original state for free.
