Did you know that you can add anything into BeamNG.drive? (BeamNG modding tutorial)

In this video, I explained and made a tutorial how to add any object to BeamNG.drive and create its own physics for it, i.e. Jbeam.
The step-by-step instructions look like this:
1. We install an environment for 3D modeling - blender, and also install an addon for blender, I explained how to install and activate it in the video.
2. We organize folders and documents for our mod, where they need to be created, I described in the video, also below in the description I left all the necessary files for this.
3. We create the model itself in the blender. We add a sphere, if this is your first mod, then it is better to make it large, because it will be easier to work with Jbeam.
Important! The name of the project in blender, the name of the sphere and the name of the document folders must match exactly!
4. Creating Jbeam, for this we set refnodes, as I showed in the video and then export Jbeam, it will be exported to the disk in the Jbeam_exported folder, from this folder we transfer the Jbeam file to the folder of our mod.
Importantly!
You also need to edit the text in the Jbeam file by adding a part of the text that specifies Flex bodies, this text is also in the description under the video below.
5. Set the visual model. We do the same export as for Jbeam, only click export collada. And we transfer the corresponding dae file to the folder of our mod.
And that's basically all, now our can should appear in the game and it will have its own physics. Next, it will be necessary to specify the materials and specific values for the nodes, but that is a separate task. So now you know how to create your own mod for BeamNG at the entry level and how to make a Jbeam for it in the game.
This is just the beginning of a long way of BeamNG.drive modding!
Required files to create the mod: drive.google.com/drive/folder...

I will do more modding videos in future , gonna work on it 👍

[@KianMaxy]

The amount of effort u put on this videos is crazy👏
As always, a great video! Keep it up ❤

[@vertviger]

Thanks , friend 😊
I'm happy that you like my videos 🙂

[@Bacongoober]

just as a heads up, that ball is way too dense node wise and thats the reason it behaves so weird :p

[@vertviger]

Yeah , agreed. For this size it should have much less nodes , my little mistake 🙃

[@RainbowSheep_was_taken]

@@vertviger you should also use an ico sphere since its equal all around but a uv sphere has 2 poles

[@vertviger]

@@RainbowSheep_was_taken Yeah , that's right
I already used ecosphere in some of my Jbeam projects, I just thought that for the first project it would be easier to understand how to work with the same models for Jbeam and for visual model.

[@Cyrstall]

This inspired me to at least give modding a try! Doesn’t seem that hard after all. Btw, do you know whether modding vehicles is similar to props? Thanks for the reply.

[@vertviger]

I'm glad that you like my tutorial 🙂
If there will be any problems - feel free to ask
And , well , car modding will be a lot harder , bc BeamNG has very complicated suspension setting system, so to create it from scratch could take a lot of time. I'm trying to make my own car , just setting the body to autobella suspension and I can say that it's pretty tough. But don't worry, we will deal with it 👍

[@nerfgodbigguy1405]

This was a great tutorial, me myself didnt know how to mod but this helped 👌. The stickers are a funny addon to the videos 😂👍, also did you get a new mic? , because your voice sounds cleaner and clearer. Either way , your videos are great.

[@vertviger]

Thanks , friend , yeah , I hope that stickers make video more entertaining 🙂
No , I'm still with my old mic , I just started to speak louder , is it better now ?
Thanks and I'm really glad , that you like the video ! 😊

[@nerfgodbigguy1405]

@@vertviger yeah it is , I think the problem with talking is that in the video the music sounds louder than your talking so it seems like your voice it quieter, here its a perfect match. 👍

[@vertviger]

@@nerfgodbigguy1405 I see , friend
In the next videos I will make the music quieter 🙂

[@nerfgodbigguy1405]

@@vertviger no no , there's no need to change it, the music is fine for sure , this was only a problem in your earliest of videos. In this one its seems spot on , that's what I was trying to point out that the audio sounds good , keep it that way 👍

@@nerfgodbigguy1405 Ok , friend 🙂
I will make all future videos the same is that one in terms of music and my voice loudness 👍

Thanks , friend 😊
Glad you like it !

[@loumister]

Could you do a wheel and tire tutorial at all and putting them in game? It would help a lot but this helps too! Thanks

[@vertviger]

Yes , I think I can so that. But it will take some time , because I already have some next video topics planned, but of course I will do that. It will a new stage of BeamNG modding 🙂

[@loumister]

@@vertviger appreciate it man, will definitely be on the look out for your next video there’s really not a lot of people actually making videos on modding so thanks

[@vertviger]

@@loumister Ok , bro , I'm always glad to help 🙂
I like that there is some people that really want to dive into BeamNG modding, because it's really interesting 👍

[@loumister]

@@vertviger agreed, I really just want to make good mods for people that have the same interests and such

[@NikodemFigurski-hm2eq]

if u ever make this a mod and upload it on the forums or repo it would be funny if in the description there would be "!Warning this mod may contain balls!"

Please give the official link for the add-on

The problem is that I myself downloaded it from Discord
But I think you can find it here : wiki.beamng.com/Blender_Exporter_plugin.html
Is there any problems with my file , or you just want a safe link ? 🙂

@@vertviger just a safe link, you never know. ty very much

It's on my own Google drive , so if something is wrong with this link , you can download here. Enjoy your modding 🙂

[@livemusic5743]

Hi, nice video! I am trying to make the ball, but after installing the jbeam files, I only saw one file that I could activate at 2:10. Later, when I selected the dots and pressed mesh, I couldn't find jbeam at 5:32. Can you help?

[@vertviger]

Oh , I see
You can try downloading Jbeam editor also and I think with it you will have this function. If no - write here again , we gonna deal with it !
Here is a link for Jbeam editor : github.com/BeamNG/Blender-JBeam-Editor

[@livemusic5743]

@@vertvigerdo i need to download and install both the jbeam editor and extractor ?

[@vertviger]

@@livemusic5743 Yeah
Actually Jbeam editor will be useful in the future too
Say to me wether it worked or not , ok ?

[@livemusic5743]

@@vertvigerhmm is still wrong so i instaled both of them and it still does not show jbeam in mesh

[@vertviger]

@@livemusic5743 That's weird
Well
Try check if ALL of them activated. Search just J and something and if something has jbeam in its name and it's not active, turn it on.
If it's all turned on , then check whether you do all like I said in the video , I mean that you need to go in modelling mode , then mesh -- Jbeam and , well here it is.
Also there may be another way to do it. Try selecting all of them and press Ctrl and F at the same time. Maybe that will work.
Also don't forget to save your project before doing it !
And tell me how your progress is 🙂
We gonna deal with this sphere and it will be in BeamNG 👍
