  1968 Barracuda: Poke rface. #3DModels #3DCarModels #dellsweet I built this to look like the series car, it was destroyed at the end of the series, almost made me cry. This is a 1968 Plymouth Barracuda. I never owned one, but I did have the opportunity to by one for $75.00 bucks with a perfect body and blown engine. The things I passed up back in the 70s, makes me wonder. This model is in a zip file, it includes renders in 3DS, FBX, OBJ and, of course, Direct X. it includes the graphic files with the UV work done for you, to make the model appear as it does in the photos and the video. This model is designed and rendered in Direct X. #3DCarModel #directx #dellsweet #lopoly #landscape #3ddesign #3droad #3DLand #dellsweet https://wendellsweet.com/pokerface-cuda/ https://youtu.be/17U0fUkXq2U

  This covers the making of my last video for the Holden Street UTE. I cover making the image I use to create an AI generated video for the model. I also cover creating the correct files for RS to make the model usable in Rad Sandbox. I cover assembling the video first in Movie Maker to get the basics done, then in KDENLIVE to add all the extra tracks, sound and video both, then finishing it up in Movie Maker for the Title and the Credits. I will show the generation of the opening video in Deep AI an app I use for AI video and have a monthly subscription for. I will show creating the images I need to make the video from in another AI app. I tried to annotate all of it in a readable form to help you understand. I have just begun using KDEN live, and so I assume that will do the titles and credits but I am used to Movie Maker and so I can do them very fast there. However, the more I use KDEN Live the more I learn and the more I like it, so I bet it won't be long before I am using ...

Falcon Street Ute

Image
This is a Holden (Australian) GM Based Sport UTE heavily modified as I built it. I started out to build a plain jane Sport Ute but that went south, and I found myself building this lowered street machine instead. I enjoyed this and I built it over the last week, on and off, and then finished it off last night and early this AM. I did a double tire map as well, so different Tred front and rear, probably something I will do from now on. I Simply split the rims off to two different tires and tred patterns. The lights and rest went on the same map. I also decided to record the entire process some of that is in this video, a little, explaining what I am doing, but the other video will be out in a few days and takes you through the entire process, animating the model, adding to RS and all the steps it takes to get there. This model is designed in Direct X and also comes in 3DS, OBJ and FBX too, along with the graphics and map work to make it look like it does. #Holden #UTE #australian #3...

Christine 3D Model

Image
The Plymouth Fury. This is a replica of the famous car Christine. A car that didn't actually exist in the configuration Stephen King bought it to life in. Pretty cool that they had to build a custom version of this car for the movie, several in fact. This is not an exact replica, so if you are looking for an absolute measurement model this is not it. This is a model that captures the spirit of thew car without violating the copyright that Chrysler owns on the original car, and of course the car itself did not exist so it should be a moot point anyway. I built this car a few years ago when I began to build the wastelands version of a 1958 Plymouth for my Wastelands collection. Both the burned version and the clean version are included in this double set. FBX, 3DS, Direct X and OBJ versions as well as all of the graphics and maps to reproduce it as shown. I do not use special filters when I shoot my models, I capture them right in the modeler so all you need to do is load the file an...

  Lifted 4×4 Dodge Van – Dell Sweet #3DModels #3DCarModels #dellsweet This is a lifted Dodge 4X4 van. I actually had this project set-up to be built in real life when I was in an accident that stopped me from ever doing real life work like that again. So I sold the two vehicles and let that part of my life go. But the other day I was working on a model and remembered it and so I build it in 3D instead. It is built in Direct X. It includes all of the maps and graphics as shown. It also comes in 3DS, FBX, OBJ as well as Direct X.

Old Ford Truck

Image
Old Ford Truck #3DModels #3DCarModels #dellsweet This is an old Ford truck. I nearly bought an old Ford truck like this down in Alabama. It had a good body but the suspension and motor, transmission were all stock and barely functional. The king-Pins were shot, so driving it for more than a test drive to see if the motor turned over was out of the question. I went about a 1/4 mile sawing that steering wheel back and forth to stay on the road, turned around and went back. I passed on it, bought a 72 Plymouth Trail Duster, lifted instead. But I liked the way the old Ford looked and wished I had had the time and money to swap out the frame to a modern 4×4 truck of some kind, modern V8, etc. This model is built in Direct X. It includes all of the maps and graphics as shown. It also comes in 3DS, FBX, OBJ as well as Direct X. This model is designed and rendered in Direct X. #3DCarModel #directx #dellsweet #3DModels #3DCarModels #dellsweet https://wendellsweet.com/old-ford-truck/ h...

1970 Firebird 3D Lo-Poly #3dmodels #3DCarModels #dellsweet This is a 1970 Pontiac Firebird. This is the model I always liked, with the round headlights.

  #3DModels #3DCarModels #dellsweet This is a 1996 Pontiac Trans AM. This has the T-Tops and the standard Trans Am hood scoop. The rims are stock and the tire width is factory so thinner than I would want. Almost bought one of these, but I bought an 89 model instead with low miles. I just hated the headlights and wanted the older round headlights or at least the hideaway headlights. I did own a Camaro that was an original square headlight model, but someone swapped out the front clip to an older round light clip. Awesome job too. It also comes in 3DS, FBX, OBJ and Direct X. This model is designed and rendered in Direct X. #3DCarModel #directx #dellsweet 1996 Pontiac Trans Am – Dell Sweet  https://wendellsweet.com/1996-pontiac-trans-am/

  1999 Dodge Durango – Author Wendell Sweet A 1999 Dodge Durango. I loved this when it came out. I thought that Chrysler was bringing back a Trail Duster type vehicle. Of course, it didn’t go that way at all they evolved it into an SUV hybrid something or other. I’m not really sure what it is supposed to be now, but I was hopeful when it first came out and a lot of people I knew were too. #dodgedurango #1999DodgeDurango #dellsweet #3dtruck #3dmodels #3ds #fbx #directx #obj https://youtu.be/hP2lAWvJSLI   Tags:  3ds ,  Dell Sweet ,  DellSweet ,  DirectX ,  fbx https://wendellsweet.com/1999-dodge-durango/

  Lifted Duster Concept Pickup #3DModels #3DCarModels #dellsweet This is a Plymouth Duster pickup truck concept machine in off-road form. It is a what if Chrysler had joined the Pickup/Car market like everyone else did and made something unique. The Duster would have been a good platform to build it with and this is my concept of what it might have looked like after I got one, added 4 wheel drive and a full frame and then a lift kit with 35s.
