HolziFFB, I've made a Yaris for you.
Here is an animated gif as an example of how it looks.

Based on all I've found here and the great ezran's convert page I've been able to build my own car icon for my C510 from an Sketchup model.
I've used:
- Sketchup to export two sets of 36 images each (3D and 2D views).
- ImageMagick to append the two sets into a single .png file
- Paint.NET to resize sets, add transparency, reduce noise and create the final 2881x160 .png
- ezran's web page to convert .png to .srf
No transparency nor noise problems up to now.
I can provide detailed instructions if anyone is interested.
Yep, that would be interesting... |

I just realized that since each vehicle view is rotated by 10 degrees, it is possible to add the current heading value as text to each vehicle view. This seems to have worked well with the crosshair "vehicles".
I just wish it would work with "Track Up" and "3D View" on my 880.

Hi everyone, first time poster, long time lurker.
I've been battling with random noise and crap around my vehicle renders using all kinds of different graphics software as the end output. I've finally found a solution that creates pixel-perfect images with no extra blurring and no noise pixels of any kind. It's a batch file that runs ImageMagick commands on a set of input images.
In my case, I'm using 3D Studio Max to render out 36 side and 36 top images of my car at about 400 pixels square. I then use ImageMagick to resize the images and combine into strips. I then combine the strips together and then write out a black background flattened png and an alpha channel. I then composite them back together and everything is golden!
I'm new to ImageMagick, so I'm sure this code is sloppy as hell, but it works! Sample image and batch file to follow.
montage side_*.png -filter lanczos -set option:filter:blur 0.9
-resize 80x80 -tile 36x1 -geometry +0+0 -background none -depth 8 sides.png
montage top_*.png -filter lanczos -set option:filter:blur 0.9
-resize 40x40 -tile 36x1 -geometry +20+20 -background none -depth 8 tops.png
montage sides.png tops.png -tile 1x2 -geometry +0+0
-background none -depth 8 temp.png
del sides.png
del tops.png
convert temp.png -gravity east -background none -splice 1x0 temp1.png
del temp.png
convert temp1.png -background black -flatten -alpha off color.png
convert temp1.png -channel alpha -negate -separate alpha.png
composite -compose CopyOpacity alpha.png color.png output.png
del temp1.png
del color.png
del alpha.png
NOTE: Some of the code lines above beginning with "montage" were stretching the screen, making the topic hard to read, so I inserted a line break and indented the resulting next line. -dan |

This is Chinese to me. 
So there's still no easy way to make your own car for the Nuvi. |
Yes indeed, from Belgium. |

To AchillesPDX, this is by far the best home made car in srf format I have seen on my Garmin.
One of the good point about your design:
- Usually others have great cars in 3D mode, it looks ok but then when you switch back to 2D mode and zoom out a bit, the car is usually way to big, yours AchillesPDX is perfect!
- Shadow is a bonus and it works great.
If only someone could come up with a software to make it easy for all of us to create cars, trucks and even animated designs... |

Hi All,
First poster here, great work everyone, thanks for the effort. I have a 2005 Infiniti G35 coupe in Gold (Serengeti sand) color, and I would really appreciate if someone could point me in a direction where I would fine a srf file for my car.
If AchillesPDX or anyone could do it for me, could you PM me with details?
Thanks a lot,
Ben |

Marcelo,
That Yaris you made looks AWESOME! I've struggled with my noob-ness trying to make my gray Prius. Do you think you could tweek that Yaris that you made or send me some hints?
Thanks in advance,
Rebecca |

Can someone repost the Yaris .srf file?
i hope to convert it to my own car.
Is it easy to change the color from blue to red?
Or is there a red yaris file ? |
Yes indeed, from Belgium. |
