Lesson 2: Creating your first car

Preparing for the lesson

So you`re ready to begin your second lesson, huh? Well, if you ever wanted to know how to make a car in OFP you`re in the right place. This lesson will teach you the basic on how to set up a car in OFP. It wont teach you how to model one (3d modelling lessons can be found all over net), but a step-by-step guide on how to get a car model in the game.

If you havent already made a car model that you want to test in OFP, you can download a very simple model from this site (see next page). I`ll be using that one during my tutorial. Be aware, compared to Mehanics fine automobiles this one is so ugly your eyes will burn.

But to make up for my lack of modelling skills, I`ll make sure that we get to test our model in OFP very early on! I have read many different tutorials for different stuff and many of them are very long and it takes ages before you get some results. No such things here. Here we get to make some small adjustments, compile and test our result right away! That means a little hard work made up by LOT of fun testdriving in OFP during the tutorial.

So, what do we need then. Lets see:

OFP (daahhh), O2 and Bulldozer
Basic understanding of the O2 interface
Having fully understud stuff from lesson1 (like creating LODs, selections etc)
PBOTool and TexView

Ok, thats the most important things. Lets have a look at our model next:
