Model 3 customisable 3D model

[Hugues1965]

Hi guys,

for another project I'm working on, I needed to make a decent computer rendering of our M3.

I found this model on Thingiverse:
Tesla Model 3 by stunner2211

But apart of the wheels, this model was designed in one single mesh, so it was not possible to assign different materials to all the parts.

So I took it to myself this week-end to split the above referenced model. It was quite a lot of work to individualize all the main components, but i finally managed to do it. I also singled out the calipers for those found of the red calipers

Here is a rendering image with the colors corresponding mostly to my own car currently:

You can download all these stl files here:

Download the zip files, unzip and load it into your favorite CAD. The stl files do not have any colors, this will be your job

So now people can simulate the look of a chrome delete job on their M3, or black rims, a vinly wrap job, ...

The windows, headlights, flash lights,...do not render that great. I could not assign a transparent glass color to them because there are no components behind, so it did not look right. The best I could find was a silver metallic finish. If you find something better, please share.

Enjoy !

Looking at the rendering above, I'm wondering if the rear wheel is not placed too much inside. I just re-used the same spacing for rear wheel as the front wheels. Is this correct ? I'm too lazy to check. If someone knows the spacing of front and rear wheels, i can then check my model and re-adjust if necessary. I think the rear wheel are spaced farther apart. And then, are the rear tires the same width as front ones ? (19")
