Also can anyone tell me how to make cars?

Hi, again. Another thing i have always wanted to make is cars but i have tried to make them out of prims it just didnt work. But i have seen other peoples cars and they have a weird outline when i have highlighted them and i just don't know why/how. So please could some enlighten me thanks for reading.

Regards

The weird outline you are seeing is most likely the alpha outline (invisible part). Without knowing your skill level with the external programs that are needed to make a really good car, you question cannot be answered. To make a good car you need to know how to make textures. As far as any scripting needed, just get one of the linden free cars and rip the scripts out and put them in your new one.

the weird outline could also be a sculpty prim.

There are three main ways I've seen cars built in SL:

Built from normal prims
Built from normal prims but things like the side view are actually a side view picture of a car with the non-car photo bits alpha-ed out
Built from a combination of sculpties and normal prims

When building a car from prims you are better off adapting the car design to the way prims work, rather than beginning with your design then trying to conform to it strictly without adapting it as you go along.
