Quote from: Butch on Mar 04, 2026, 11:59 AMThis year's list is complete. Since people no longer read and write even less....



and about the unique and rare cars.



About the 33 stradale and the Xj13, they have already been created for other games, so I'm waiting to see if anyone will convert them.


Looks like a nice list, even the Mercedes C111 and Isdera Imperator are there!

Butch we love every single breath you do <3 Just do what you think it's right. I wish i'd be able to convert some cars to nfs4 like the VW W12 Synchro or the Mercedes C112, but it's such a huge and immense thing to learn. Especially reducing polycount in a good manner that it doesn't get ugly when it gets into z3d format.

Thank you all. After a little tinkering with Noise, it will be Ghibli, then Imperator.

About the isdera, I've planned two versions: 1981 and 1991


But later only one C111: the one in the middle.


What saddens me is the apathy of the forum.  The ratio between guests and users.
I'm lucky, on my topic "last rides..." I get one reply for every 1,000 views. It's one of the best ratios on the forum, and I thank you for that.
Frankly, I admire the team that administers the site, the T3ED Updates team, my X-Files partners, and all those who offer something original in these games.
Those who animate our forum do so mainly with regard to the older NFS games. I think I share this nostalgia for the early days of modding with a generosity that is lacking in our time. These games are ours.

pete9516 -> I use Lightwave 3D for decades, it's my job and I'm too old to change. But if I had been a beginner, the fact that it was free would have led me to choose Blender and this https://ksami.gumroad.com/l/QRemeshify.

NFS4 from scratch:
- 43 classic cars with dashboard
- 17 concept or unique cars
- 11 cars with agentMulder, Madman_nfs and Mr.X

Thanks Butch, i might give that a go sometime when i find WiLL and time. It gives me a feeling that it might be a better plugin than the function from Houdini which i've tried out already years ago

Why have coupes and convertibles practically disappeared from current car production? At dealerships, there are only SUVs with bug-like front ends and supercars that all look alike and are out of reach. For games, SUVs are love killers, and supercars pass through gamemodel and end up converted into most wanted with vulgar colors... sadness.

I'm waiting the Maserati Kyalami, the Lancias, islero, 400i, 504 coupe and Ferrari Rainbow.

Good choice @brakesLate, i prefer any car which is non-existent in any form for nfs4

When you criticize, it's only fair to explain a bit more.

Would you be happy to have more real modellers around?, like sparring-partners. You're basically the only active nfs4 carmodeller who works from scratch. I'm afraid you give up like Fabian (Psychedelic rock).

Or do I understand it wrong.

I guess we both are in the same boat lol
If you want to succeed, never give up and believe in yourself.

Noise ->

The subject isn't my cars or NFS high stakes. I don't feel sorry for myself. The vast majority don't care about supporting those who create here. They don't even log in. No one rates the add-ons or takes an interest in the images that authors upload to the forum. I know there are a lot of bots among the guests, but still.

So somebody sees a nice add-on which he can download without logging in. And can't find the words to say something about it,didn't notice there's a ratingsystem, is he unsupportive or uncaring? What means bots b.t.w.

I didn't think the Peugeot 504 would have so many fans.

People help themselves at the buffet and leave without saying thank you. It's a matter of manners. I want to keep this little flower of utopia alive. Encouragement fuels voluntary creativity.

Many guests are search engines or AI. These are search robots. Obviously, they are not going to log in and rate add-ons.
