Original first post:

I figured that, since I have a WIP topic on GOM, I may as well have one here.

This is my latest project: a Holden VE Commodore, made from the Forza 3 meshes of the Pontiac G8, HSV W427, and Holden V8 Supercar. Thanks to Robban for converting the Forza meshes for me. (Pics are the same as on GOM.)






A few notes:
- Since taking these photos, I have also fitted a hood to the W427 front end.
- Speaking of the W427 parts, interestingly, none of the three Forza meshes line up, because of the way Turn 10 modeled the cars. Aargh. The W427 parts required a lot of editing before they lined up, and part of that was copying over vertices from the G8 parts and re-doing the UV mapping entirely. (Hey, at least the car will be fully paint-job compatible once it's done.)
- I am going to change the scale, because even though it looked right to me at first, the consensus over on GOM is that it's a bit too big. Here's a scale comparison:
