raysox Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Hey guys. Been kinda laying low for the last couple days. Thought it might be cool to show you guys what I've been doing since saturday. One of my favorite games ever is Nascar Racing 3. It came out in 1999, and I spent years painting cars on the built in paint studio. I've painted whole fields of cars on the worse-than-ms-paint program. Last year, I started a sim racing series with some friends. Here is the link and I encourage people who like this thread to check it out. http://simcupseries.blogspot.com/ I was planning on trying my best on the program to make it look half decent. Then I researched into it, and found out how to mod the game with designs from outside the game. I found all these templates and a community that REALLY helped me out. It had a lot of things that I needed to learn, but I ended up figuring it out. After a while, I started making 2013 cars. They had the body deisng for the Gen6 cars, but the pre-made 1999 set wasn't the same. So I took on the task to make 42 cars to sim races with(your car retires before the race as the 43rd car). I wasn't planning on redoing them for this year. I thought about doing some guys that needed to be done(Austin Dillon, etc). Then I went to their message board and a guy had beaten me to it. Too bad they were absolute crap. I knew I could do better, so starting at 3 Saturday, I started redoing it. I decided I would work numerically, I start at Jamie McMurray(#1) and work it to Carl Edwards(#99). A lot were simple number fixes, due to laziness that made me overlook the way some numbers were tilted on the passenger side door. But a lot were redrawn. I worked literally non-stop. I focused more on making things perfect due to the template being flat, and the patches wrapping around the bumper. So cars with designs that go around from the side to the front were a bitch. There was a lot of planning and file renaming but today at 5 I managed to finish. If you're wondering, I did 15 the first day, 20 yesterday, and 7 today. I'll post a list of cars later. But weithout further adeu, here is some screenshots of everything. I'll post screenshots of some requested cars if you're interested. NOTE, this game is 15 years old. The color pallate isn't exactly extensive, so they might be a little off, but I assure you it is what it is. But yeah, ask questions if you have them. I'd love to share this amazing game. I'll take screeshots of the paint program, and 1999 cars if anyone wants to see them. @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1clkgtramg Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I should have gotten into this type of stuff, but I never did because all I have is a laptop. I do however make designs on Forza, so it's nice to see car people on here US and World License Plate Redesign - Fixing the Elite Ice Hockey League - NHL to Soccer Crossover - European Hockey League Twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvanBirchfield Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 That's so awesome! I wish I could do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
See Red Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I'm jealous. I tried finding that game not too long ago but it was very expensive on eBay and such. I'm big into the car designing thing, but the newer NASCAR games on xbox make it way too time consuming.Great work, man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derschwigg Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 If I'm reading this right, but are you telling me you updated the entire roster of cars from a 1999 game to the 2013 looks? If so, doing so in such a short amount of time is unbelievable, not to mention the quality you did it with. A job well done!

So I have all the 1999 cup and Busch cars, the 2014 guys, my sim league cars, and the 2013 nationwide cars which I downloaded(and I don't like much). @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raysox Posted March 12, 2014 Author Share Posted March 12, 2014 I plan on releasing the files for this on the Nascar Racing forums, but before I do that, I plan on making a bunch of alternate cars like so. @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Elwood Designs himself, I presume. You're iRating is a bit higher than mine, but I imagine we've had a race or two together. Though, I don't race very often so my oval iRating is probably a bit lower than where I should be running.Here's the link to my page: http://members.iracing.com/membersite/member/CareerStats.do?custid=28148 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
