Game Modeling Using Low Polygon Techniques
Charles River Media By Chad and Eric Walker
The helpers and designers of the award-winning
“Game of the Year” Age of Kings for Microsoft
and the Age of Conquerors x-pack. The multi-billion
dollar computer game industry is growing
at an incredible rate, and the competition
to produce real-time games with faster,
more realistic effects is fierce. Mastering
real-time issues is a challenge for even
the most seasoned developers, but one essential
tool for overcoming real-time problems is
to use low polygon models. The Art of Low
Polygon Count Modeling teaches modelers
how to create game-ready 3D models using
any 3D application. Through step-by-step
instructions, modelers learn the necessary
skills, organizational techniques, and most
effective ways to use 3D applications to
create low poly models. Tutorials and “how-to”
guidelines, teach users modeling techniques
from the initial sketch phase to final development.
Multiplayer Game Programming
by Todd Barron, Andre Lamothe
Multiplayer Game Programming enables you
to write your own completely Internet-ready
video games using DirectX and or sockets.
This book reveals techniques and secrets
of online gaming technology and teaches
you the skills necessary to get involved
in the video game industry. This book is
perfect for hobbyist programmers who want
to learn how to write online video games,
software programmers wanting to move to
online game programming and the millions
of video game players who want to learn.
Proven for years in television, film, and
games, LightWave 3D® is also being used
to create graphics for print, web, industrial
design, architecture, medical imaging, and
many other applications. A full, robust
program, LightWave 3D® includes many of
the tools that others sell separately. Soft-body
dynamics, particles, hair and fur, plus
unlimited render nodes, to name a few; LightWave
3D® ships with all the tools an artist needs
to create virtually anything. This program
is around $1000 I think now.
Voted 59% over other software's, this site
has a try before you buy plus you can also
download some plug-ins too. Most of all
the tutorial and learning process is superb.

Independent 3D Editor 1.7 or 2.0
ZModeler gives you a some common functions,
like Move, Rotate, Delete and others. ZModeler
also has an advanced edit- and create- functions
that makes a creation process much simpler
and faster. Also Modeler is very good when
working or creating a low-polygon-count
object (that all 3D games use) and that
feature distinguishes it from other advanced
editors that create realistic, but too detailed
meshes. Low polygon count meshes rendered
by Direct 3D with a high speed FPS (Frame
Per Second Rate). These are things that
you should remember when you create a detailed
meshes in any Modeler.

Independent 3D Editor
Anim8or is a 3D modeling and character animation
program that I have written over the past
couple of years, not as commercial endeavor,
but because I love 3D graphics, animation,
and programming. While it is far from a
complete professional level application
like 3DStudio MAX or Lightwave, I believe
that it has enough capability to be of use
to others.

This site has been put together in an effort
to properly document the model editing program
BINedit, written by Oliver Pieper, and currently
being updated by Richard Borchard III. BINedit
is an editor for the objects used in the
Microsoft and
Terminal Reality Inc. (TRI) games Monster
Truck Madness and Monster Truck Madness
2, Fury3, Hellbender, CART Precision Racing,
FLY! and probably some more. This program
and this site were developed with MTM in
mind, but should work for other games, too.
Strata outfits design professionals with
products that are easy to use. These products
provide sophisticated results - sitting
between basic design tools (such as Adobe
Photoshop and Illustrator), and complex

Suurland
Well this site is the top one that most
people think of when they want blueprints
although its not been updated in some time
its still a nice place to go.
Suurland Website
Blueprint69
This is a nice site but as far as usefulness
goes they are pretty bad I however go there
if he has a car I want to do (If I can decipher
the image and what everything is and its
clear enough to make out) I'll look at those
and use them for reference to how a car
curves in the front etc.
Blueprint 69 Website
3dBOX
This is a site with a small share of prints
but prints none the less and hey it helps
fill up this post I'm making.
3d Box Website
3dCenter.ru
Well I just found this site and its pretty
nice, especially if your a Russian car enthusiast.
Car names in there I couldn't even begin
to pronounce.
3d Center.ru Website
onnovanbraam
This is a very very good source for prints
he has prints unique his site very clean
and easy to navigate great site to check
out
Onnovanbraam Website
Gearhead Heaven
This is a site I've known about for some
time but forgot when I made this, its a
site you really wouldn't find unless you
searched specifically.
Gearhead Heaven
SwaqValley
Well first off thanks to L Åström for
this link, I had been there but I had forgotten
it. But anyhow this is a nice site there
not blueprints but Hot car folder images,
and they can be as useful as prints in my
opinion, so check it out.
Swaq Valley Website
jaspers-bv.nl/schade
Well this was a new one on me ,special thanks
to my friend Remko for this great site I
checked it out and indeed lots of great
truck prints. So give it a try if your into
big rigs or delivery trucks.
Jasper truck prints
Historacing Blueprints
(EDIT)Well I checked this one out finally(EDIT)
Its a nice site easy to navigate, there's
not to many prints but for the ones they
do have they are unique to there site, I
especially liked the Ferrari P4 I thought
I knew which was coming up but it was a
totally different P4. and the other types
of images they have (angle drawings) well
don't dismiss them just yet you could probably
use them to see where an air vent is on
the hood, or how far the tires sit in the
car , views such as that. Special thanks
to Remko for this very interesting site.
Check it out here
Historacing Blueprints Site
Pelican Parts
Well thanks to Remko for this great site.
I think I've been there before it has a
few prints but they are great none the less.
Plus has other links besides prints unique
to itself. So check it out here.
Pelican Parts website
Transwheel corporation
Well not blueprints but great for if you
want a texture for your stock wheels. Thanks
to Remko for this great site. I checked
it out a few links and its nice because
the wheels are facing you and not angled
so that helps a lot check it out here
Transwheel corporation
Hobby Search
Well this is a nice site where you can get
blueprints instructions . Its a nice site
that takes up space. It takes a bit to find
the prints you have to wait till your search
brings back a car with a setup like this
(
http://www.1999.co.jp/asp/GoodsDetai...ce_right_e.asp
) see the numbers at the bottom those are
the ones with the prints. check it out (main
site) here
Hobby Search
www.Carmodeler.com/colorcatalog
Well this is not a blueprint but I'll put
it up since Remko was kind enough to provide
it. I checked it out and this is quiet nice
no more just throwing random colors on you
cars if your making them for games or just
modeling for the rendering of it. This site
provides many color codes. Check it out
here
Carmodeler Color Catalog
www.ferrariclub.com/colors
Well for some people a Ferrari having the
wrong colors can be the worst sin of all.
A Ferrari in Hot pink would even make me
sick. But not to worry thanks to Remko for
this nice link it provides the colors that
Ferraris come in Check it out here
Ferrari Color Code section
The Mustang Color Guide
Well this is pretty interesting not only
does this person who made this website show
us the color codes but also real pictures
of each car with the colors on them. Not
only that but the each Mustang year type
is individually separated. So thanks to
Remko for this. Check it out here.
Mustang Color Guide
JP Racing
Well believe it or not but I didn't know
that JP had blueprints till a few weeks
ago I never got around to adding here so
here we go. Well this is a really nice site
its clean, and easy to maneuver around,
also has prints not found here. Thanks to
Jurenic for providing this. Check it out
here.
JP Racing Blueprints
Awkua Blueprints
Well I recently found this place on my own,
and they have very high quality prints there,
very few but what they lack in number of
prints they make up in quality. You can
find a 80's 911, 360, f50,Toyota Zagato,
and some other prints there. Check it out
here
Awkua Blueprints
The Blueprint Collection
Well I thought that blueprint69 and this
were the same but I guess not, before this
site was hosted on a geocities I thought
and the prints were at least useful but
now the only good place to go is this place
because blueprint69 is useless the pictures
are incredibly to small. Check it out here
The Blueprint Collection
Mr. Clipart
Well this was a surprise, great site, to
get the full service or images in higher
quality you have to pay for those but if
I was desperate for a print of a angle of
a car Id go here, I wasn't to fond of of
there Hummer but the rest looks fine.
Mr Clipart Site
GTSLOT
Well I found this a while back it was ironic
in a way. I was looking for McLaren F1 GTR
prints I had some small ones and I decided
to enlarge them. So I did so they were ok
and I was satisfied. Well the next day at
school I decided out of boredom to give
it another go and try searching for more
well oh and behold I found this site and
was flabbergasted. It had perfect prints
not just of the McLaren but of others too.
Porsche 917s, Corvettes all racing but they
were great. So check this great site out
here.
GTSLOTCars Prints
Mark Gussin's Slot Cars
Well yet another slot car site comes up
in having great prints. I found this site
a while back but until now could not remember
the url. Got lucky and found it and here
it is. It has a lot of prints from another
site I think I have on here. But also have
some color new ones, not sure how they were
made. Check it out here.
Mark Gussin's Slot Cars
Scale Plans
I have known of this site for quiet a long
time now its funny, don't know why I never
posted it in here. but it probably doesn't
matter lots of the prints from that site
are already here. But it takes up space
and makes this list nice. Check it out here.
Scale Plans
HO Models
Well its good to see a new site again, it
just goes to show that there are still so
many print sites out there that are still
unknown about to me. And this one is no
exception. Special thanks to AlexK (who
also donated quiet a nice supply of prints
to our collection also) for submitting this
site. Well its in German and I didn't really
examine it closely but its got lots of trucks
and bus prints on it, (old ones mostly)
But there are still a lot of people I'm
sure who just love those types of vehicles.
Check it out here.
HO Models
Herderova Auta
Well this site is GREAT, I found this ,
cant even remember how. But I was doing
a routine search for new sites or prints
and found it. I've noticed a few people
around who always complain of prints being
too small. Well this site will probably
make you bite your tongue off. Its prints
are HUGE, and great quality. Has great cars
such as 935 Moby Dick Porsche, 935, XJR-5,
Alpine Renault A443, and many others. Also
don't forget to check out the second page
with more prints, its got a link at the
bottom. Check it out here.
Herderova Auta
Japanese AutoCAD designs
Well I couldn't even tell you what the name
of this site is since I'm too lazy to download
the foreign language correction program.
But anyhow it has some great cad designs
that look very accurate. Mclaren,Rx7 ( 94
design) and the new MR2, along with a few
others. Well also I didn't download any
of the designs but you can get a larger
version ( I think) by clicking on the pink
letters next to the picture or by clicking
on the picture. Check it out here.

zzzip's Prints
Sorry zzzip (hope I got the right about
of ps or spelled it right, if not I'll go
back and recheck). Anyhow this site has
two very rare and nice prints along with
a Ferrari F50 and F40, but along he has
a Nissan 300ZX and a Racing CLK-GTR. Thanks
zzzip for the heads up on the site. And
also everyone check out the great models
on the site as well. Check it out here

perso.club-internet Jeep Blueprints
Well this place is a real treat. AlexK posted
the url to someone in need of a CJ7 reference
pictures. Well I took a look inside and
almost every possible Jeep you could think
of from WWII to the 1980's CJs. I didn't
look long enough to see if they had the
other Jeep models made after the CJ. But
anyhow if your a Jeep enthusiast. Check
it out here.
Perso.club Jeep Plans
AutoColorLibrary.com
Well this again is not a blueprint site,
but I like to include whatever someone has
to give, as long as its relevant to modeling.
And this is a nice treat. This site is has
every color or so it claims from 1920- to
Present or what be. The only draw back but
easy to get around is this little no right
clicking message when you try. To get by
it I already knew myself, Just right click
message pops up keep finger on right click
and put it over the message. Left click
the ok button and then right click the image
and it should work. OR to get by all that
hassle when the image you like pops up just
press the Print screen key and take it into
a image program like Paint, PSP, Photoshop.
Thanks Remko great site Check it out here.

Wheels and rims.com
Well Ive not checked it out but I'm sure
if Le Bucheron says its a good source then
it must be So check it out here.
Wheels and Rims Site
Auta a vojenská technika - plánky
What the title means I have no clue but
its in Czech. But language barrier means
nothing when you see this site. A big thanks
to Le Bucheron for the heads up on this
place. I saw a multitude of prints not seen
elsewhere. Bunch of 70-80's race cars an
Mercedes 300 SLS some military vehicles,
just to name a few. My next venture is to
see and find out more about the source these
came from. Some magazine. if we have any
member who knows please tell so the collection
can grow here. Check it out here.
Auta a vojenská technika - plánky
lwg3d.com FNF prints
Well this next place has the prints in a
topic, thanks to Cereal for the heads up
of this place. I could not view them but
I figure that you must register to view
the prints. However I did not register but
if you want to see these prints then just
register there. I think from what I read
they are Fast and Furious prints. Check
it out here.
FNF prints topic by axelr8
Bim.Km Prints
Well judging from the url ending in .ru
I'm guessing this is a Russian site. So
I don't know the name of the site. but I
do know its got some ok prints. I say ok
because I've seen most of those at other
print sites, but since it helps add to the
list here we go. Credit to Disco for this
site.
Bim.Km Prints
Auto-Graphisme
Well this is a nice site, though I've seen
larger prints (for most) of these cars thanks
to the wonderful contributions of the members
and so forth. They may be small but I could
make them work if there was a car on there
I wanted badly enough. Well credit to Zum
for the heads up on this place.
Auto-Graphisme
Speedysigns
Well this is another site that is supposed
to be used by professional people for designing
signs and graphics on vehicles a type of
template. I've seen quiet a few of them
but most were not worth showing, just to
small in some cases, but this one is different
has larger versions of the vehicles. Great
find by DaMotax.
