RoR DAF Semi ReBirth

**Nadeox1** · 10-05-11

Ahoy people! Here's my last project - A Refresh to one of the Oldest and Best truck since RoR Origins - the DAF SEMI! [Woohoo].

This is like a alternative to RoR Content Task Force Project thingy. This is my personal contribution

What i want to do:

-Make a Detailed but Accessible Mesh
-Refresh the NB
-Make RoRBot Happier
-Further AMPIROLL and TWIN TURBo Version from this

Things i want to say:

-This is not the DAF 3600 (RoRDAF isn't based on 3600 even if it says so, more like a 3300, but even tough, i will consider it as a custom RoR Version)

What i did till now:

-The Base Body
-Details (Extinguisher, Grill, Text, AirIntake, Tanks, Interiors, Exhaust, Meshed Rims (Courtesy of Box5 - Amen), Number Plate

The actuall PolyCount is very Low (to make it accessible to crappy pc) and it's around 40k Polys (Including LOWPOLY text, and others stuff) - You should not have any Performace problem tough as it uses original DAF N/B with Minor Fixes.

Here are some pics - Enjoy

======

Recents Changes and Near Future Stuff:

Added a pair of LowPoly Horns
Planning to add Puffy 70' Dices into the Cab

- Thanks to Loady588 for the NB work

That thing is not lowpoly at all, it is as boxy as can be, and it has twice(!) the polies my (rather unoptimized) jeep has.
Also your model is 'flat shaded', I suggest you use the edge split modifier to give them a smooth shading.

Looks cool and all but definalty should look alot better for amount of polies. My rock hopper is only 28612 triangles and its made almost completely of tubes. No offense to the model but if your gonna keep it that boxy reduce the poly count. Or use all those polies to make the thing less boxy and more realistic looking.

Great work so far . back in 2007 we had quite a flow of 3600 3300's come through the door . mostly for clutch's and body repair's . them Diesel's are a strong as the come !

Are you Planing on makeing an interior For this truck ?

Well, i don't have any Expire date on it, i already did the chassis 2 times tryin to make them smoother as possible. I will try to scale the curves (those are present but i made them too tiny). Also, i decimated that thing 2 times. I think the extinguisher is eating most of Polys (2k) or maybe the Text (??? - 2k). Also the ingame pics are a bit a fail, i forgot to smooth and EdgeSplit in some (:P) - The 4th pic is smoothed and edgesplitted btw.

I will work on that

looks like project is coming along nicely, but how did you make it meshwheels?

Editing the truck file :P

**Nadeox1** · 10-05-11

Smoothed the curve as much as possible. All manually and with the help of LoopCut.

Also now PolyCount is way Lower and with the same truck quality - 32K (TRI)

**Adrien 33** · 10-05-11

Wow , nice

I like this truck .

Very nice truck

**masfilip** · 10-05-11

Very nice project!

Will you do your custom dashboard?

Eminox · 10-05-11

This is looking really good. Are you going to make a special custom one to mark the occasion?
Maybe revamp the 6X4 with twin stacks from the repo. Anyhow... Well done with this.

Nice mesh so far

Although I think 32k polys for that model is way too much...
Your talking about a "lowpoly model" that 32k isn't actually lowpoly. Maybe on round things you should use less edges. Like how much edges do your horns have? Look at this model (although it's not finished, I know): Each horn has 16 edges, makes 160 polys for each horn. Yours look like there are 32 edges or more.
This is only some constructive critic, please don't take it as a bad one

I like the model and how you inprooved it but maybe you could spend even mor work on reducing the polys

3600,3300 and 2800 are sharing the same cab,this looks more like a 2300

but nicely done
