why my Mod is more Technical than you Think 

Love how much detail u go into when u do these mods. You're definitely making the modding process more approachable for people

They should add this into the game

I never quite understood why BeamNG didn't have operate-able convertibles or sunroofs that slide open. It'd been cool to have these features available on vehicles. If it works for bus doors and such, I suppose it would for that too. This video though, is cool to see the whole process happening. I do love a bit of nerdy stuff, I seem to understand the who's, what's and do's. 🤓

Despite the pain you need to be hired by beamNG

You are really making the best videos. I just love it to watch you suffe....... I mean i love you watching modding. No, but no joke, i really love your videos. And this is done really nice

Awesome job fillman, very technical. It's wild to hear how much time these videos take to create. I'm glad you are doing it for us.

More roof options in BeamNG really needs to be a thing. Glass roofs, convertibles, foldable hardtops, T tops, targa tops, we need all of them removable and moving. Also do add movable sunroofs as well!

Its only a matter of time before your channel starts getting the attention it deserves, these vids are so entertaining

Some of the jank folds at the rear of the soft top are probably due to the original mesh topology. I doubt the devs actually thought someone would actually try to fold it. For best results it might need to be remade just for that purpose, wich is a lot more work than you put already, even more work considering you need to model it planning the topology to fold nicely.... i'm tired already just thinking about the amount of work it would be XD. i wonder if someday you could team up with other modders, they could help you in the areas you dont feel confortable (like material making), i bet something really good and polished would come out of it. Nonethelless you are already making really good content and at the very least, bringing attention to some really cool concepts to be explored by others.

filmman might become one of the best beamng modders next year...

This is honestly impressive, even experienced modders struggle with things like an openable roof. I think for the soft top folding you could have reused the original soft top Jbeam and attached it to your moving frame.

I could defiantly see the Burnside as a soft top

So Awesome!! And the Satsuma 210 mod could have helped you because it had a foldable roof. But it's awesome you got it working. And I can feel the pain you had at coding this stuff, as I'm in a Software Enginneering college and the coding is just mad haha. Great video

I don't know if it would make it easier but I own a Jeep Wrangler with a soft top like this and the side and back windows are removed entirely before the top itself is folded. maybe it could eliminate the jankiness and complexity of the rear. Otherwise it looks just like the real think. Great Job!

I love ur vids bro,I can only wish that you would continue ur F1 series. That series was absolutely on the ball. Stay on it bro an keep vibing dude

Love the detail you go into while modding, although I am definitely not confident enough to try it myself, Also, is that an xr6 seat in the background??

I would love to see an Ottowa Switcher (Lego Looking Semi ) Yard Tractor with Adjustable Height 5th Wheel Plate. Movable coupling surface :0

Your mods are always so great I want to get Beam some day

Next title: I made a working optimus prime and it broke my mental health

Love your stuff allot.

My hopes were soured when you said you weren't the best at modeling, but I might as well throw it out there: Could you or someone else make a time machine out of a Bolide? I saw a picture of a mod that did this, but it was in very early stages and it seems to have never gotten past it. Nevertheless, it would be the coolest thing to see my favorite car in the game be turned into the star car from Back To The Future.

Y'know what would be cool next? A auto Targa bolide.

Beaming should hire u with the quality of ur mods 🎉

I can’t imagine how much pain active aero gave the devs.

Nice work man, keep it up! Edit: 6th Comment XD

Top notch work Fillman! I hope you're doing good brother!

modding for beam is very very very hard, im making a shelby cobra mod for beam, and Im struggling. Thank god ur videos exist and a lot of the problems I have you also had, and I can learn how to fix them, so thanks :)

There was a mod a good while back idk if you can still find it I think it was a 68 Cadillac that had a functioning convertible roof and for the fabric to be more lifelike the 8x8 military truck had that on it

For the Bluebuck you could have taken the roof mechanism from the 1958 Ford Fairlane Skyliner and have the trunk open up in reverse and the foldable roof collapse inside of it.

I really like your videos. I enjoy watching them to calm down or to learn something new. Keep on doing this great stuff!

Why is MTT capitalised in title?

convertible cars in beamng is something I really wanted thanks I wish there was other small things beamng had. (like good AI)

Why aren’t you an official BeamNG developer yet?

hi fill i love your videos so much beacuse i can understand what you do fully while i cant even understand any tutorials. thank for making videos like this!❤

As an idea of what to do with your newfound power, what about an excavator? A simple excavator we can use to destroy cars with.

I know this would be one of the hardest things to do in beamngdrive,but i would love to see a motorcycle mod.(if its even possible to do it that far,would be cool if it looks like a hayabusa 😅)

I have wanted this for so long

You gotta Patreon? gotta keep the mod people gotta keep the mod people paid boiiiiiii

There is a car which came as a convertible where the top was a metal hardtop roof that retracted into the trunk/boot of the car and had a similar roof line to the bluebuck and that was the 1957-1958 ford fairlane skyliner, and looking at the design for both the skyliner and the regular fairlane two door hardtops they have a completely different greenhouse and profile. The difference with the skyliner is that the greenhouse is pushed more towards the front of the car and it has a more angular design than the regular fairlane which has more of a bubble top style to it. That would be a cool thing to make in the game with the bluebuck as a template.

I hope were ging to get an real online mode

My goodness! All that work to make a foldable roof for a Hopper. It looks like you pulled it off though, fillman! Nice to see a cameo of Spealer as well! 👍

BeamNG devs must have some high-tech program to at least help them make base game vehicles, if not they are very tallented people to be working with the BeamNG file system

*What You Typed* *why my Mod is more Technical than you Think* *What I Read* *why my Mom is more Technical than you Think*

Hello I have a question on your shelf behind you have yours Automation car, but behind your automation car what car is that? I think it’s a Bugatti

Clicked video 2 minutes after uploaded. But, didn't comment right away. RIP claiming my extremely early spot.

The effort to make this looks painful but you did it! I'm always amazed how you create these things. I couldn't do this myself so watching you do it and then download it from the repository will do for me😂

You should’ve made the backseats pop down to enable the option to fold down to roof

This is very weird to explain but your voice almost matched what I initially thought you looked like but then it doesn’t at the same time

19:22 Looks like Elvis' hair lmao thank you, thank you very much

thank you for making this, ive been looking for one like this for YEARS

love ur content man, keep it up ( could you make a 2001 Citroen C5 mod?)

Try to make a transformer mod where the car just turns into a transformer

Mind blowing 🤯 BTW, Great haircut 😊

I love your mods ive tricked a few freinds with your rv mod lol

🎶my beams dont jiggle jiggle, they fold🎶🤣

The first one to do this was me, on the first mod ever released for BeamNG, with that 1949 Cadillac Series 62. It was a massive pain in the ass to make it work, and I'm glad more people are making these now, because BeamNG is about the only game where you could do this without faking it.

hopper making an appearance in 2023? damn this an anomaly

i wonder how one makes a tank with tank tracks, i wanted to make one but my knowledge about modding is just enough for an engine swap

5:12 to 5:25 that sounds so wrong out of context.

I just remembered I haven’t driven the hopper since 2020

The fact that you took your time to explain everything to us is amazing man! Keep doing what you’re doing this is some great content 👏🏽

I have been there in real life making a folding top on a 1925 Studebaker just from photos . It was all missing

its so great, but I still dont get it how to create beams, nodes and the trigger like u can. hard for me to get familiar with such things

Increasing engagement by commenting this

Complications

1:09 check out the cherrier monaco, its a vivace based convertible but it doesnt have a functional roof

great job!

Could you turn a gavril t series into optimus prime the flat nose a g1 style optimus transformation and the longnose a 2007 movie optimus transformation

Hello Sir, I don't know how to speak English, sorry... I would like to ask you to create a larger platform winch, double or triple axle options, your truck engine mod does not work on the winch, my father worked on a winch he died in an accident by car, I would like to buy from you... please create this vehicle for me, thanks in advance.

@filman86 love all your videos, I've watched every beamng drive mod video you put out. Love how you explain everything. Keep up the great work! Wanted to give you a suggestion on your next mod. I'd like to see you implement wheels that have spinners that rotate with the wheel momentum. Would be cool to see you try and tackle this!

It would be hilarious to have the bus roll open like a sardine can :-D

thanks to your tutorial/test videos you made in the past, I've successfully swapped a bolide engine into a pigeon. (lol) I've got some Jbeam stuff and modeling left to do and I'll have it done. as of right now, it actually functions and is in the right position :D

You just turned the Hopper into the ultimate hairdresser's car.

fill forgor to turn his mic on 💀💀

Plz plz do a mod review on the "olds/codename fullsize mods" there's 3 cars with very detailed rust

What about take the jumping suspension from the Bruckolet and yeet it into other cars, that would be so much fun

tell me that you've never actually seen a jeep top go down without telling me you:ve never actually seen a jeep top go down.

I'd like to see a two door Sunburst that has the Subaru Impreza WRX coupe look.

They should make you a dev

well, its definatly better then me, the best i can do is change a few numbers and either make cars fast, or spontainiusly combust them when spawned

Its funny because I watched this video and the day after i saw the mod on Beamng mods section. Thanks!

nice haircut and shave fill

3:01 ahh, just like the tractor episode "why is the mic off by default!"

I can't wait for a fully functional T-Series Prime

any fix on black texture when trying to make automation swap?

just make a miata, then hardtop convertible with it

Next thing you know filman is hired by beamng 😁

If they do a hopper remaster, they HAVE to put it in the remaster

Lucas also did this for the 1994 k series.

The moon hawk would’ve been sick

i know the 90s etk k series mod has a folding soft top

dude the burnside special would be so nice

Sub to him

This is amazing

Well done!

loving the mods

I had an idea like this, and you are right there, thank you very much😊

SO SICK DUDE

this is asum
