Correctly?? ... When you open the ambulance texture you will see from the top left down it goes - left view, right view, top view, front view with extras to the right of the front and then the right top corner is the back view.

Not sure how to show you where the front and back starts because if you zoom in to the sides, you should be able to make out where the outlines start.

Tutuorial video and images. The BLS ambulance is giving me some trouble. I wanted to make my own ambulance but it irritates me how I can't even find where the box (patient transport) section begins and ends as well as the cab. Also, I'm not too good wwith making nice straight lines like you may see with RCMP cars, NYPD, and other nice police cars and ambulances.

It's really not that difficult. On the BLS ambulance it is the same thing as ambulance04. If you ZOOOM IN where you can just see one view, you will be able to tell where the cab and the box ends at because there is a red line that runs from the cab all the way to the back. It doesn't have to be perfect lines on it and if you can't make a somewhat perfect line then why are you trying to edit it in the first place?

And I want to edit an ambulance with ZModeler just does not work

I don't think you can reskin an ambulance in Zmodeler. Zmodeler designs the model for all the units. I don't use the program so I don't know anything about it.

He's changing what the ambulance looks like but the model itself, not the skin. Also, I know how to make straight lines but I mean like how you see an ambulance graphic where the line goes straight then branches off like this.

I just eyeball everything so I have no technique. Maybe someone else does on here though.

I'm not positive but I think if you wanted to be real precise, there are shapes in Photoshop you can use instead of paintbrushes.

There are but I just wanteed to learn how to make curves or branch off a line or something but i'l find out how to od it myself.

Unit 42- first I used rectangle select to make a long stripe the length of the unit and while highlighted I filled the stripe with colour.Then I used the free select tool (good for angles and curves) to make the back stripe,after I had it as I liked I just copied part of it and used it for the stripe in front of it.Everything else you probably know how to do...hope I helped you

I am trying to reskin one of my ambulances to be like the Mohawk Ambulance Service, but with LA Mod v2.1 and every file already has a .V30 file so do i just unpack that and do it from there cause every time i rename the Ambulance04.dds to Ambulance04t.V30 i can't find it in the editor, as if it doesn't even exist! and i was going to reskin it it standard Paint, i have gimp but its too complicated for me.

[Unit 42]

You rename the dds file to have the file name of v30 so it'll be from ambulance04.dds to ambulance04.v3o then unpack then rename it back to dds. Download the DDS converter and convert the dds file to jpg or png.

[ScotiaFD]

there already is a .V30 file for the ambulance04 and when i try to unpack that it says its already unpacked. where would i find the different files when its unpacked?
