Vehicle model variant info
BUILT TO KILL COMPETITORS. Here is one special model i built in a hurry a few days after standard version of "MAXXIMUS" was built. Bigger, tougher, high-tower and dirt worthy sand blaster ready to stomp the soil and blast some mud! This is also a last minute work which i use some old parts under the carriage to save up building time and recycle back some worthy parts from "XCALIBUR" and "XVERT". I give a subset name of this model as ZEN. A perfect name which combine power and force within the off-road truck. This is my dream setup for having similarities to an Radio Control Stadium truck because the built looks tougher and really meant serious racing attitude. You know sometimes i really wnat to have this one built in real life rather having a miniature size in a form of RC truck. Imagine having this one cruise on every Sunday down the country side or add so me bling on the wheels and cruise into the urban jungle. What a ride! ZEN MAXXIMUS CD 17.1 XL-HT (High Tower) is a rebuilt model of the original standard version of "MAXXIMUS" with re-enhanced under carriage lower mainframe structure to support suspension hydraulic, struts and robust axle size. Lower skid bar added to the axle for better protection and side tanks for better fuel mileage. Each wheels supported with 4 suspension struts and several hydraulic linkages. "ZEN" have overall physic of Nitro fueled RC truck . The main chassis is higher off the ground made clearance for the suspension to expand and compress at high velocity compression. During its construction on 3d modeler program i just concentrate on rebuilder the lower part of the truck which consist of complex restructuring work of its chassis but keeping its polycount at safe level to avoid possible lagging on normal PC spec setup. There's also increase of polycount on the front and rear axle by 40% of face/vertices because due to adding extra bars and custom skidplates. Customizing from normal "MAXXIMUS" to "ZEN" only took 2 days which include custom racing theme paint finishing on its body. The wheel however was built a month before and it took just a day. Handling and performance similar too previous version of "MAXXIMUS" except with more flex and supple suspension setup. After testing "ZEN" this models built for those who would like to have fun on the dirt hill and do lots of dirt blasting jump just like any Nitro powered radio control in real life. Enjoy!
• Design History
It was funny incident on a day before this project was created which lead to reason why this models was designed. This project was spawn because it was my desired for satisfaction for not able to grab my hands on replica of truck models i saw on the toy store.. a vent of frustration which leads to creation of this 4x4 off-roader. Let's just say i'm dead broke to spend on such expensive R/C off-roader.....Sometimes if you can't have it just make one for yourself so i did. I think afters years absent in design and creating an off-roader finally i've fired up my favorite modeler tools and make the baddest and most wicked 4x4 off-roader ever built on the planned. Prefer to be rivalry of infamous HUMMER. MAXXIMUS CD 16.0 XL-ATX (All Terrain Xtended) is a high tower 4x4 off-roader design to tackle various terrains ever challenge in the wild. With higher ground clearance on the front and rear chassis prove an ideal design for various terrains application. Initially from the start the truck suppose to be design as coupe 2 door type off-roader, but after thinking for two days wondering why i should have a two door, since four door are much better at carrying loads and family based commercial value i just go ahead with 4 door based design and added rear hatched canopy on the truck bed for family type 4x4 design in mind. I tribute this new 4x4 design for my father because he always wanted a cool 4x4 dualcab pickup truck so he can cross country back to his green natural home on borneo island. He likes adventure. THE DEVELOPMENT There was interesting fact about the development of this truck. More importantly this model was built live progress where public can see step by step how this design and models was progress from embryo to mature state. You can actually view how simple 3d boxes grow and formed into complex 3d meshes which makes the shape of this 4x4 vehicle. The models development started publicly on 22nd Jan 2008 and completed fully on 15th February 2008. Its was by fastest and shortest duration of development ever made for complex models. Previous record before this was 25 days. You can view the development report and lifecycles from my blog website or our local forum. Anyways it was a challenge and its the best way to get public interested into viewing how design and modeling works in SupermotoXL Design department. Overall meshes the models was totaled around 45k just save below lagging limit lines. To save some construction time i've used back several object meshes from my past 2 year old parts from XENO under carriage, suspension and engine...also the fact it have just enough polygon performance to save up any user PC from being cooked up CPU due to extensive lag on high poly models. THE DESIGN MAXXIMUS was design to rival H2 HUMMER design, which is why this 4 wheeler have wider chassis track, long body length, sharp edgy body contour, more front and rear end clearance for obstacle climbing, wide disperse headlights, higher suspension lift kit and big profile wheelsets. The design have a mix of retro and concept taste. Front facelift have almost an old skool style hollow type looks which belong similar category of muscle car like Concept Camaro, Challenger, Hemi or something feel phat or higher over your head feeling. The chassis shells was more edgy or something like aluminum box like style which at first reluctant to think about that design in mind but popular trend of rugged and rough edgy looks persuade me to continue follow with how 4x4 people would like to see on this vehicle. Just like all of my design the rear lights remain circular in design, looks sporty and classic....its just my style. I also added significant trace of "X" signature on my design just like other models i created previously on the front and rear chassis. The trace of "X" marking can be seen as dark groove grilled top and bottom inverted wide "V" marking which both combined as one horizontally sliced "X" mark. For those who don't know "X" represent my signature as in "XL" or "SupermotoXL"..every designer leaves a bread crumbs. The windows also looks more tuby hollow like the interior styling of an aircraft cabin window panel. port located above, behind the headlights beside the ‘X’ beam spoiler provide quick escape for heat dumping generated by the twin intercooler. At the end of the design phase the truck overall looks more out of the box adventure truck really to roll over anything in its path. Higher ground clearance on front and rear for easy vertical climbing. Bigger tyre and rigid wheelsets. Long body and aero dynamic rear truck bed canopy. Full dual four piston vented disc brake system. Side wall exhaust system. Wider body width and sturdy mainframe. How do i feel about this design?...great!! satisfied!!..95.99%..almost..well atleast it looks better and more off-roader looks than my old creation "XENO 2" which looks way urban style bug shell off-roader. Anyways if you look carefully "MAXXIMUS" share same engine, axle and suspension system as "XENO 2". Yeah the good reasons is i'm too lazy to think about design and built another mechanical parts for it. Its just another way to save my brain from over heat. In 2008 i'll be looking foward to design more off-roader until each of these rides could impact the way people off-roadiing around the globe. Peace and ride free.. Here's my advice ..."if you can't have one, build one'. Live to design and share the passion.
Enjoy.
Important note : 3d models checklist and notes
Please read the note below regarding the 3d meshes and texture issue.
In this SDK package include several material that should attached along together with this file these are:
1. | *.Z3D file (Z-modeler format)
2. | *.TGA file (Multiple of hi-resolution texture set)
3. | Sample of images file, 3d screenshots of actual models and image screenshot and details from 4x4evo1 and 4x4evo2 realtime in-game simulation.
| Before you start make sure you have proper 3d program/modeler tools. I recommend you to download Z-modeler v1.07 or Z-modeler v2 to open and edit *.Z3D file. You can download it at http://www.zmodeler2.com But if you already own a 3D Studio tools then you can open the existing *.3DS file attached in this package. But for high compatibility when viewing this models i recommend Z-modeler.
| By default these 3d meshes/models as usual runs perfect when editing using Z-MODELER tools because it was built using this tools from scratch, *.Z3D extension format is default Z-MODELER file. Before you open the *.Z3D file into Z-modeler program make sure the all *.TGA texture file located in the same location/directory where *.Z3D file is located else you'll have blank white meshes/models upon opening in Z-modeler.
| Make sure you double check if your Z-modeler or your 3D Studio program render the models as similar and as accurate as shown/published inside the models screenshots/images attached with this package. Make sure the reflection effect, transparency and parts are perfectly exhibited/shown correctly on your 3d tools view port. Good Luck.
