Go get that 3d meshes

Try to locate exact 3d meshes/models:

  1. Open your *.TRK file using text editor eg: NOTEPAD.exe or other editor.
  2. Look for these value  as shown below:
    ......................
    ......................
    ......................
    truckHandling
    0.513102
    truckQuickClass
    0
    truckModelBaseName
    XLxvert  <<---------------------------------------------------car/truck body *.SMF or *.BIN file:  replace it right here
    tireModelBaseName
    XLelite  <<-----------------------------------------------------wheel's *.SMF or *.BIN file:  replace it right here
    axleModelName
    NULL.BIN
    shockTextureName
    susp.raw
    barTextureName
    NULL.RAW
    axlebarOffset
    0.000000,0.000000,0.000000
    driveshaftPos
    0.000000,0.000000,0.000000
    driverHead.initBPos
    ......................
    ......................
    ......................

    2 lines of marker above indicates where the main truck body/base models and wheels filename are located.

  3. Once you manage to locate the filename of each models (base body and wheels/tire) go to the [MODELS] folder and search for *.SMF or *.BIN file that matches the particular filename.  You can edit *.SMF files using dedicated 3D modeling tools such as "Z-Modeler" or "3D MAX/Studio" with plugins that can support and import/export *.SMF format (EVO1/EVO2).

Good Luck!
