It's FINALLY here! You're about to see your vehicle appear in-game for the first time after many hours of work!
A whole series of tests will now have to be carried out to check that everything works on the vehicle.
Every flaw will have to be reworked on Zmodeler 3, and believe me, a vehicle is never perfect and finished at the first spawn!
To make your vehicle appear, you'll need a trainer. I recommend the following THIS TRAINERwhich for me is the best. You can also run around the city to find it in traffic, but that might take a bit longer!
If the vehicle is installed as a replacement ► navigate to the " Vehicle spawner "Then look for it and make it appear.
If installed as an add-on ► select the " Spawn by name "in the Vehicle spawner "then enter the name you have given it in your CSD.
Your vehicle should now appear!
Don't hesitate to test everything: damage, opening doors, trunks, hoods, shattering windows, bullet impacts, first-person view meter, all lights, driving, player position, correct placement of each script dummy... etc... anything that could be corrected.
Don't forget that a mod is never finished! Don't be ashamed to publish your models, even if they're not necessarily finished. You'll have plenty of time to come back and update them later! Here's a small example of how a mod has evolved over several years and is now one of the most downloaded on GTA5mods, my LAMBORGHINI Reventon.
Write down every problem you encounter on a piece of paper, because believe me, you'll often forget to fix things once you're back in the software! Re-open Zmodeler and work on your model to correct every little bug or modify textures, mapping... etc. A vehicle is never perfect at the first spawn.
