allways do backups! thats not a bad idea!
cant wait to see the first pics of the roof rack!

btw:
here is an other intresting version of the ecto 1!
it is from GHOSTBUSTERS THE VIDEOGAME.
as we can see the emblem (LOGO) is from the 1. film, the decals are from the 2. film.
also the roofrack is from the 1. film except for the single flashers witch are red instead of blue!
ps. noticed the big sidemirror?

I have the beta version of the ECTO-1 in a zip file but don't know where to upload it for download. I wanted to upload it at a GTA site, but don't know of any GTA sites where I can do that at the moment. Anyone know of a good place where I can upload it for free download, or maybe someone here can upload it for me at some site?

hi BM!
here is a link
http://www.gtainside.com/news.php

this link takes u directly to the upload section:
http://www.gtainside.com/en/download.php?do=send

there should be no problem to upload it for free!
i can remember that a pic on the download (ingame) is needed (there is a max of resolution) and a good readme so everyone can understand what to do to get in ingame!
the rest, as far i can remember, is selfexplained during the uploadprocess!
but be aware that it could take some time (even days) till its downloadable, because the content of the upload will be checked by the admins of that side!

or just upload it here! in this thread!

cheers

Unfortunately, I can't upload it on this thread do to it being too large of a file. I really don't want to post it in a place where I can't take it down later, so I don't know what to do.

hmmm, i dont know if u can take it down on this site i posted. also, i dont know why u should do it! u just upload it as a beta and later, if u think this is it, u upload it as a compleated version!

but if u want the possibility to take it down, u should comtact te admins/moderators of that site!

http://forum.gtainside.com/showgroups.php

an ther possibility is to register in the forum, thats for free!
there is a sections called W.I.P. (work in progress), there u can also show ur ecto 1 and get into contact with other user/modders! from my experiece this is verry helpfull!

I turned up all the detail to get some better pictures. They're very high resolution but they're much better looking than the pictures I showed before.

very well looking pics, bigmac!
intrested how ur car looks in gta sa?
well here some pics!
the last 2 pics shows a major bug!
it happened while doing an standart conversion with an conversiontool for 3ds max!
to solve this problem (same for the chrome and several reflection) it requires manual adjustments to the material!
but basicly it is a good working conversion!

so if u like me to do a conversion for ur finished ecto 1 let me know!

…how many GTA games have come out since you started this?

Two, San Andreas and GTA IV, but the model is detailed enough to look great in all of them I think. Who knows, by the time I finish the roof rack there could be yet another GTA game out.

But lets all hope it doesn't take that long.

-

Looks like GTA San Andreas makes parts of the car look extra shinny, including parts that aren't suppose to be shinny. The interior looks as if it's all metal with that luster look. Did the model just turnout that way after the conversion, or did you make it like that?
