eva Nowicka' custom works: the 1942 BMW R75

This time, I'm going to recover another of those vehicles that appear abandoned in many grids, without properly identifying it (although in this case, almost everyone has seen it in movies) and without adding a script to make it travel on roads or cross fields.

This is, as its title suggests, the BMW R75 motorcycle with sidecar, which, given the model's characteristics, appears to be of the type manufactured in 1942.

So far, I've only done three tasks on this model:

  • Adjusting the size (as mentioned, I like to adjust this parameter to be compatible with my avatar size, closer to the actual size that Hypergrid residents usually see).
  • Adding a main prim to ensure the movement script works correctly.
  • I adapted the script I created, based primarily on the P319 Tron Mcp script. In this case, given the characteristics of the original motorcycle, I preferred to work with the car script instead of the P318 motorcycle script.


Due to the characteristics of the existing object, the front wheel doesn't rotate, as it's integrated into the fender. The rear wheels rotate correctly. The number of gears, acceleration and top speed, fuel tank size, poses, sounds, headlights, and the ability to carry two additional passengers have all been adjusted.


To finish the project, I need to "clean up" the object, working with the textures so that the resulting color is correct, not as seen in the image, despite applying the period-appropriate color, Flat Sandgelb RAL 1002. And if I find an MG 34 or an MG 42, it will look even better... And let's not forget to find me a more suitable uniform! :D
