Hey Taxi

Post by GAlex »

For those who cannot resist to shout: "Hey Taxi ... Pad 1, please" 8)
as soon as they exit the spaceport gates...

here is my proposal of an MPPTV.
what's it? it stands for Multi Purpose Personal Transport Vehicle ... in other words the 30th cen. version of a riscio or, if you prefer, a taxi.

and as usual, the models in .blend and .obj+.mtl

Ha, I like the idea!

How about making all those manouvering jets, lateral thrusters and stuff like that to it? And perhaps the chassis (?) could use hovering thrusters like those that the airplanes with vertical takeoff have?

It could be useful when 3D walkable bases will arrive, I think.

:wink: I advise on making windows opaque. As the hull looks too thin, and there seems to be no amenities inside except seats. :lol:

I like the concept. :wink:
A Step Into Oblivion

Dreams of things that will never be,
Songs of thoughts only I can hear,
Leave me be to sleep forever,
To dream my dreams,
And sing my hymns,
Of things that will never be...

the hull is thin as it's made of a kevlar lamier, the interiors are spoiled of everything not useful to transport 2 passengers with the minimum of confort (if you look well, the seats are that of a barber-shop), the driver has it's own touch-screen monitor and a joystick, what else?
remember it was thought to be a riscio, and thus to serve as a taxi in planets assimilable to '50s indocina projected in 30th cen. and over.
if this vehicle had to be a 21th cen one, it could be an Ape (you know, that 3-weels cough-cough-twinky-chugga-trinky-breeeem-brooooom-bruuuum-eeeeekk combo motorized thingy).

GAlex, Maybe you should ask chuck for an FTP account at deeplayer if you need a better host.

I was able to get the file, and I'm uploading it to my deeplayer space now.

EDIT: can't get onto deeplayer for some reason, so I posted it here:

it hurted me too when I saw that filelodge changed its policy, but for immediate (well quite so) download you should just wait the screen that has a big central "free download" button for 10 sec., or click on the little "skip" text on upper right corner. :twisted:

:oops: maybe I should ask for chuck courtesy :oops: :oops: :oops:

For a temporary solution you could try rapidshare. The files there get deleted after a period of inactivity, though.
