the one on the XJ220 looks sweet!!!

The others look like they've just had spoilers attached, maybe a bit more should be going on there???

For example adding in a bodykit for the miura to make it look like the recent, modernized concept miura. the AC cobra and S type should be lowered closer to the ground with nwer cockpit models almost looking like CAterhams (i.e- Gokarts) difficult to achieve but it'd be epic!!!

How's the progress on actually porting those into the game?? I wouldn't mind a spoiler on my aventador but I think you might need to do a little more with the kit to make it more interesting...

By the whole though I aprreciate trying to d this. It's pretty epic actually.

Thanks guys, Im working on a M3 GTR actually as a bodykit for the E46!! Freaky. I have a lot more bodykits but couldn't upload the pics in this thread due the maximum of 10!!!! My full Aventador bodykit is in its own thread if you want to see it all. Imagine you could get my bodykit on the Scion Drag Car?! Still no idea how to get them in game though unfortunately. I love messing about with bodykits so if you have other requests I will do them for you

Thanks again!!

Hey dude ! I've got a few question to ask you.

#1 How are you opening the Shift 2 models in zmodeler? Because when I try I get the 'Out Of Memory# error

#2 How are you making the kits?

This is going to be long so bear with me! You need a full version of ZModeler for this. First, go to import then go into the folder of the car you want open. For example:



In this cae, it is the Lamborghini Reventon. Scroll down until you get to a file with the name of car ending with .vhf. In my case, it is lamborghini_reventon.vhf

Import that file and you should get the following:




Now on to your second question, to make the kits i have made, you need to know your way around ZModeler. It takes a lot of work but you will get there!! My next bodykit project is the Aston Martin One-77 by WinnerSD47. Here is a picture if you want to see:



If you want a detailed tutorial, PM me!

That looks pretty epic mate can we have some screen shots in game for any one of your body kits??? Both on track and in garage. Can you rip off body kit parts off the DB( and apply it to the sides of the One-77, make it look closer to the ground mate, less of a gap between the track and the undercarriage).

@LamboMantisMan23 : Use a program like FRAPS or Bandicam.

You know I could use some help on the Hennessey Venom GT i'm building. Can you edit materials?

240ZG, E-type and Shelby Cobra with GT spoiler looks weird, other than that it looks great.

Just wondering, can you try to bring 240ZG body kit from NFS World?

A remodel of the 240ZG to the Devil Z from Wangan Midnight (260Z/280Z though I can't be sure) would be EPIC. It's gotta be the best looking 2xxZ car around

I'll have to agree here. I never liked the look of the "G-nose" on the s30, I feel like it makes it look a little awkward.

I think finding a way to convert Forza 4 Aston Zagato might be faster.

Anyway, looking forward to see those body kits in game.

Is your hennesy longer than the original lotus? It has to be because I don't think the huge millions of miles of engine could fit that small car.. Plus the tail lights should be changed and (correct me if im wrong) the exhaust is in the middle of the rear lights. Just mentioning..

Nice work in anycase

@Martin918RSR : No, it's not longer as I cannot edit this in Zmodeler. I know that the dual exhaust should be in the middle of the tail lights but the problem is it's part of the chassis. The black plate where the tail lights are must also be replaced by woven wire mesh. I also need the defuser in the front and rear to be deleted. The logo's needs also to be replaced but I was hoping lamborghinimantisman23 would help me with this.

I have made the logo's (at least the textures). The tail lights are fine, I prefer these to the original one's.

Edit : Here is the link for the Hennessey Venom GT mod (Warning to other users : it's password protected so you can not open it unless you're authorized).

hennessey_venom_gt.bff
hennessey_venom_gt_Cockpit.bff
hennessey_venom_gt_KC03.bff
hennessey_venom_gt_KC04.bff
hennessey_venom_gt_KIT03.bff

This is already a standalone car. You have to upgrade it fully to works (except for the drag parts).

Lambomantisman.......download fraps it's free and very small sized program. Run it before you play S2U and press the predetermined function key (on mine it's f9) to screencap....Pause in replay and enter camera mode to get the best shot....Don't take a picture with the ingame camera it doesn't let you do anything.

Talking Tutorial for making bodykits

Many people have been sending me PMs about how I make my kits. So here is a tutorial

Step 1
Choose a car you want to make a kit for. I generally make ones for cars without Bodykits already such as the Mustang RTRX or addon cars like the Lamborghini Aventador. You could do some research if you want to make a real life kit such as the Aventador J by me.



Step 2
You are going to need ZModeler for this. Import the .vhf.bml file into ZModeler. In my case, it is the Lamborghini Murcielago R-SV GT1.



Step 3
Import some parts from other cars or make your own! Here is my quick one for the Murcielago R-SV. I am creating a road version of it.





Step 4
Now you have done all that, you are going to have to export all the parts into the vehicle folder as KIT03 or whatever kit you want it to be.

Step 5
Now for the hard bit, you are going to have add all the lines to the .vhf file to make it appear in game. This is really hard for the first time, so if you need help or a template bodykit file, then just PM me.

Step 6
Now for actually making to the kit available in the shop. Go int othe folder 'upgrade' in your S2U directory. Find the your car name and open it. All you have to do is add the following lines under Body catergory:

Code:
<package name="Body_1" category="Body" stage="1" price="3100" label="Body_1" description="Body_1" />
		<package name="Body_2" category="Body" stage="2" price="9200" label="Body_2" description="Body_2" />
		<package name="Body_3" category="Body" stage="3" price="19000" label="Body_3" description="Body_3" />
Step 7
Now go into Garage and purchase your newly created bodykit!!



Bodykit update
These are all the kits and cars I have created:

Lamborghini Aventador GT1 (Bodykit and liveries, GT1)
Aston Martin One-77R (Standalone car with liveries)
Nissan 240ZG from Devil Z (Bodykit with special livery)
Lamborghini Aventador J (Standalone car with liveries)
BMW M3 GTR (Kit for the M3 E46 with special livery)
Bugatti Veyron SSR (Bodykit for Bugatti Veyron SuperSport, GT1)
Dodge Viper 2013 race car (Standalone car with liveries, GT3)

I have also now started making convertible versions of cars:

Lamborghini Sesto Elemento Spyder
Aston Martin One-77 Roadster
Bugatti Veyron GrandSport Vitesse
Lamborghini Aventador LP720-4 Roadster
Pagani Hauyra Roadster

I looked into your files, all the KIT03 weight 0kb, so they can't show. I really don't know anything about 3D, Zmodeler etc, but i saw also that the .vhf and the .vhf.bml files don't match. Maybe this will help, and I wish you good luck!

Thanks for the help. I don't think the .vhf and the .vhf.bml file need to be the same. I think it is defnitley something to do with importing with an error, then it won't export anything out!! Nobody will help me fix the problem anyway who actually knows what to do. Thsnks for all you have done GUYS!!

Maybe this can help (zmodeler pro, help us please!!) but I tried doing something with zmod, and when exporting, I didn't specify the format (.vhf or .vhf.bml) and the files were all 0kb. But when I specified the name as "lambo__aventador_lp700.vhf.bml", they were apparently good.
