Too bad I'm on the east coast. It would be great to look over your shoulder ... I mean help.

Rock on!

If anyone knows how to convert a Grand Theft Auto IV wtf file into something blender can read I would apreciate it

Update. I have a model of my car now. Computer games and game modding community can be a great source for digital car models. This model even has an interior so I can see what happens with the windows rolled down

Edit: Note I'm working to correct the error that causes the hood to crumple.

problem fixed. I had to delete some of the data that was there from the game that showed body damage :P That is what I get for using Grand Theft Auto III for a model source.

more pretty pictures. Note only half the car is shown because I can only view the work of one processor at a time while its running.
