Hi there,

I'm Victor Santos, senior environment artist.

www.theartofvictorsantos.com

This will be my first submission on the Asset Store, I've been working hard on my spare time to make a AAA quality vehicle for Unity Developers to "fight" against the big companies in my field of expertise, vehicles and environment art that could be on AAA games like Watchdogs, The Last of us or Tom Clancy's the Division.

I decided to make a Crown Victoria look-a-like:

Latest screenshots:

​

My plan for this is to make a package, which will consist in these 4 skins/models (rigged and animated), interior and exterior:

1. NYPD
2. LAPD
3. Taxi / Cab
4. Sheriff
5. Standard
6. Destruction model

And also I'll add a car paint shader / material and another one animated (emergency lights, night lights, blinkers, etc).

There's a posibility that I make another package for Mobile.

Any feedback or comment is very welcome

Thanks for tracking.

 

Looks fantastic.

 

Thanks a lot John!!

 

Saw this on Polycount; well done sir

 

Looks great!

 

Looking great, truly AAA quality.

 

Thanks for the kind words people!!

I'm working in the LAPD car right now, if you are thinking about buying it and want another skin that I didn't mention just let me know and I'll see what I can do

 

What he said!

 

Thanks Axtel! I really think this pack can help many Indie Developers.

I forgot to upload a pic of the interior so here's the cockpit:

 

That looks amazing man! Are the Interior and Exteriors separate or all in one? What 3D Package do you prefer? And HOW did you get such cool shaders going on? Really impressed man.

 

Woah! Thanks, that's the spirit

Well, It's all part of the same prefab, they're separate assets with different shaders. I'm working with 3DsMax and I made the shaders in Unity thanks to my experience with Unreal Engine shaders using a cube map for the reflection which depends on the camera position.

Thanks for tracking!

 

Im interested and contacting you though pm with other questions.

thanks

 

Thanks for the interest x.e.r.t.!

Many people asked about the price of this pack, I'm no entirely sure mainly because It's not finished yet and right now there isn't something even close to this vehicle package for sale in the Asset Store but I'm estimating between 40€ and 80€ with all this included:

• NYPD - model/skin
• LAPD - model/skin
• Taxi / Cab - model/skin
• Sheriff - model/skin
• Standard - model/skin
• Destruction model
• LOD

As always, any comment, critic or ideas are very welcome.

Cheers!

 

very reasonable pricing hope to snag it soon

 

Thanks for the kind words x.e.r.t.!

Here's a couple of Work in progress screenshots of the LAPD skin/model:

 

It's been one of the busiest weeks in time but I hope I can work a lot on this one next week!

Cheers!

 

My only issue is that the side on your model is flat. It should curve in at the bottom. Same with the roof. It's just flat at the sides, round it out. Cars aren't flat.

 

I thought it was just me. The front is flat to the point I almost didn't recognize the vic.

 

Oh! Great feedback, thanks guys!!

 

While you're at it, the headlight corners are sharp at the bottom (as you did), but smoothly curved on the top. I think that threw me off the most.

To not be just negative- love your overall textures and interior!

 

It's ok, really. I'll post some images as soon as I can :wink:

 

Hope to see a more.. rounded-realistic car. Waiting for updates.

 

Hi guys!

Sorry for the delay but something came up and it's been a really busy month... I'm back in action so you'll be seeing updates soon.

Thanks for tracking!

 

I've been searching for this kinda cars from asset store. Only problem is how to match rest of the content with these ones Any thoughts to make another package after finishing this? for like basic van, sedan etc?

 

Hi Treshold, sure. I'm open to suggestions, someone already suggest to make another package with SUVs.

 

Fantastic work !

The only reason why I would think twice before buying it, would be the licence. It's obviously a Ford.
AAA companies have their lawyers or the money to pay if trouble shows up but as a small indie, that might be dangerous.

 

Thanks Florian, I've been thinking about deleting the logo for a while... so I'm removing it.

I'll do it for the indie community

By the way, pretty cool porfolio

 

The animation set is complete, now the car it's no longer a Ford, it's a NexGen Victor , here's the video:

Happy weekend!

 

Quick update!

The NYC Taxi is almost finished, just need a few details and it's done. I'll post some screenshots when it's finished.

Next skin is the "standard" version of the car and the destroyed one.

Thanks for tracking!

 

Great update!!

I'm gonna have plenty of time to finally get this done and make another package with SUVs (probably)...

About the pack, I just finished the NYC Taxi skin, I'll upload some screenshots in the next days but the coolest thing is that I just bought Shader Forge so I'll make another set of car paint shaders (much more efficient and coolers) and bloom shaders for the emergency lights of the police cars.

Thanks for tracking!!

 

Any updates on this also + 1 SUV's, will surely instant-buy from asset store heh

 

looks damn nice!

how'd you've done this?

how much fps you've got? what tris / verts / polys?

 

I think the interior lets it down somewhat - the steering wheel is too low res for it to pass as AAA. Perhaps LOD of this will help. Other than this, its a polished asset that I'm sure will be welcome on the store!

 

Thanks for tracking people!

I'm now at full time with this and I'm re-making the car paint material... these are some screenshots of the Taxi Skin:

​

 

Thanks a lot!

Right now is moving at 75 FPS but I'm pushing the engine at maximum to see how it responds...

About the model its 9800 polys and 10000 verts but it can change a bit between the different models.

 

It's already planned, the next package will be SUV's

 

I'll try to make it with a little bit more resolution to pass the AAA test and yes, the LOD it's planned.

Thanks Hippocoder!

 

Finally!

I'm almost done, all the shaders are completely new, I re-design some parts of the meshes and remake a couple of animations, everything it's now much more cooler than before

The shaders are going to be 3, car paint standard, night lights and emergency lights.

I just need to polish the standard car (a couple of afternoons) and it will be ready for release!

These are some 1080p screenshots:

​

Cheers!

 

Damaged models are finished!

I'll make the submission to the asset store as soon as I can

And I'll upload some pictures and videos tomorrow.

Thanks a lot for tracking!

The Particle FX will be included in the package (light and heavy smoke).

 

Turntable video!

I'll make the submission this afternoon!

 

Nice one - looks very versatile pack. I like you added wreckage versions too.
how much $$$?

 

Thanks a lot!! Sorry for the delay, I've been out off the office for a few days.

I submitted the package a couple of days ago so it should in the store tomorrow according to their references.

About the price I don't know the final cost because I don't recall if the Asset Store respect the price you set on the uploader or they add the VAT and the 30% commision...

 

Finally!!

American Sedans are available at the Asset Store:

http://t.co/bp3JMsccGz

 

Launch offer! 50% discount for American Sedans.

50$ for the whole pack!

 

cool, like it!

 

Thanks !!

 

Hi I like your car assets, but there are a few things I need if I were to get it.

Is it possible to make the ford victorian police car with different numbers? Also could you add those police things attached to the bumpers in front and the things near the side view mirrors? Also could you make a skin where the word police is painted more noticeable like in these pictures? Ford victorian is the car I most like next to the charger police cars.

 

Great references! The model updates will depend on sales because I'm seeing that the Desktop high quality assets don't have as much sales as the mobile friendly packages...

I'll add a few textures with different numbers in the next update (in a month).

Kind regards!
