Ottawa Fiero Club Forum

Hey there guys, just thought youd like to see a few images of my 86 GT being made for a video game by one of the best modelers who works for free there is =) We could find any blueprints of any Fiero...period, I even looked through all my service manuals and found nothing so the car is entirely based off of images Ive taken of my car for him. Here are some shots of the exterior, the interior is currently being worked on. Ill get you some in-game shots as soon as its finished.

Looks nice!

If you're obsessed with accuracy though, call up GM Vintage Services, give them your VIN# and a credit card #, and for a small fee they'll send you an information package on your car.

Within that package, are all the specs you'll ever want.  Wheelbase, track width, etc., etc., accurate down to the millimeter AFAIK.

Nice work!  What game?

Thanks dguy, I just might do that. And aaron88, its for the PC game called "Mafia" Came out in 2002 but still has graphics as good if not better than any console game out today. You can still find it for sale in most shops that carry video games, it now comes bundled with Max Payne. Here a few shots of other cars in-game so you can get an idea. (Plays just like Grand Theft Auto)

This interior was done by the same guy who is making the Fiero

BTW I am the founder of the largest Mafia site in North America(MafiaMods.com), probably why I get perks like this ;)

Edit: I looked up the GM Vintage Services and it appears they only offer it to Canadians or Canadian model fieros (I dont see what the difference is). Unfortunately im not Canadian, nor is my car, but I hope to be someday.

D'oh.  Well if you're looking for any measurements which are common across all body types I should be able to dig those up.  All of the body measurements I have are for the coupes with the square noses & tails though.

Keep up the good work!

If you have a hard copy for your car, I really would like to take a look at it at the next monthly club meeting.

I wouldnt worry about it dguy, thanks for the offer though. Hes pretty much done with the outside anyway.

Ok here are the first shots of the interior. A few skins and the main intrument pod still missing.

Soo much work, I can't believe how much work is involved in making a game.
