mirroring objects?

im making a 1971 Hemi Cuda, my thought was is that if i made 1/2 the body and then reversed the X axes vertexes then flipped all the faces then it might be mirrored,that would let me make the model in almost 1/2 the time, would this work and is there a easeir way?

PS when i say reversed that meen make a positive a negitive ,and a negitive a postitive

That how I make my headers bro! I make one side, save it as 'temp.bin', then mirror to the other side.
To mirror left/right, I select all faces, 'flip all faces in group', then go to resize and add a 'minus sign' to the width dimension (x axis). this will give you an exact mirror copy. I then insert the temp.bin file.
(Make sure that the surfaces and vertixs that will be shared by both sides are at zero on the x axis. Otherwise they may be far apart or overlapping.

WOW! That mopar is gonna have a lot of awesome detaiL! You have more patience than I do LOL.

Too bad there's no way to extract the car models from the playstation game, GRAN TURISMO 2. There are 500 beautiful cars in that game, including several MOPARS....

There may be a way to get at the Gran Turismo models. I've seen a Corvette form it converted into a Carmageddon add-on but he never said how it was done. Actually he never said it came from the game but he did call it Gran Turismo vette so....

I dont own the game. Couldent tell ya squat about the file formate.

I knew a guy named Rakkan on the zone before, he knew how to take stuff from games and convert but he never came back to the zone the second day i saw him, he had a twisted metal bin, and i wish i had kept that pic to.
