There is no such thing as a “Holden Falcon Ute.”

Holden and Ford were fierce rivals in Australia for decades, much like Ford and Chevrolet in the United States. They both produced their own iconic “utes” (utility vehicles), which were essentially a car with a large tray or cargo bed at the back.

Here are the details on the two distinct models:

The Ford Falcon Ute:

  • Manufactured by Ford Australia from 1961 until local production ceased in 2016.
  • It was based on the Ford Falcon sedan platform.
  • The Falcon ute was known for its car-like handling, comfortable ride, and powerful engine options, including the famous Barra inline-six and V8s.
  • It was a popular choice for both tradespeople and enthusiasts who wanted a vehicle with the practicality of a truck and the performance of a muscle car.

The Holden Ute:

  • Manufactured by Holden, a subsidiary of General Motors, from 1951 until local production ended in 2017.
  • The Holden Ute was based on the Holden Commodore sedan platform (and earlier, the Kingswood/Monaro platforms).
  • It was the direct competitor to the Ford Falcon Ute, and the rivalry between the two was a significant part of Australian car culture.
  • Like the Falcon, the Holden Ute offered a range of engines, including V6s and V8s, and was also loved for its sporty performance and on-road comfort.

In summary, the Holden and Falcon utes were two different, competing vehicles. While they shared the same basic concept and dominated the Australian “car-based ute” market for many years, they were never combined into a single “Holden Falcon” model. Sources

This covers the making of my last video for the Holden Street UTE. I cover making the image I use to create an AI generated video for the model.

I also cover creating the correct files for RS to make the model usable in Rad Sandbox.

I cover assembling the video first in Movie Maker to get the basics done, then in KDENLIVE to add all the extra tracks, sound and video both,

then finishing it up in Movie Maker for the Title and the Credits.

I will show the generation of the opening video in Deep AI an app I use for AI video and have a monthly subscription for. I will show creating the images I need to make the video from in another AI app.

I tried to annotate all of it in a readable form to help you understand. I have just begun using KDEN live, and so I assume that will do the titles and credits but I am used to Movie Maker and so I can do them very fast there. However, the more I use KDEN Live the more I learn and the more I like it, so I bet it won’t be long before I am using it solely.

As for the AI apps I use I have been with DEEP AI for about 4 months or so now and I like it. It is consistent in renders. What does that mean? Well, I have tried others and sometimes it takes a half dozen renders or more to get what I ask the app to do. I mean even simple things. And there are times when I render a dozen times and still don’t get the render I need. So, I switched to Deep AI because all those renders cost credits and credits cost actual money.

Perchance: Perchance is an AI image generator. There are several examples at Perchance you can look at and build your own from. The Cost is zero, and the renders are very good. As I said you can build your own as I did and tweak it as much as you want.

Also, Gemini from Google and META has an AI, also Bing has an AI. These are free to pay. You can get some free image generations and even video generations.

The Plymouth Fury. This is a replica of the famous car Christine. A car that didn’t actually exist in the configuration Stephen King bought it to life in. Pretty cool that they had to build a custom version of this car for the movie, several in fact. This is not an exact replica, so if you are looking for an absolute measurement model this is not it. This is a model that captures the spirit of thew car without violating the copyright that Chrysler owns on the original car, and of course the car itself did not exist so it should be a moot point anyway. I built this car a few years ago when I began to build the wastelands version of a 1958 Plymouth for my Wastelands collection. Both the burned version and the clean version are included in this double set. FBX, 3DS, Direct X and OBJ versions as well as all of the graphics and maps to reproduce it as shown. I do not use special filters when I shoot my models, I capture them right in the modeler so all you need to do is load the file and you will see exactly what you expected to see. #plymouthfury #wastelands #dellsweet #radsandbox #fbx #obj #3ds #directx

This is a Dodge Van. I owned a new one exactly like this and I loved it. I like the aesthetics; I liked the cargo space and the gas milage was awesome too.

This is a 1996 Pontiac Trans AM. This has the T-Tops and the standard Trans Am hood scoop. The rims are stock and the tire width is factory so thinner than I would want. Almost bought one of these, but I bought an 89 model instead with low miles. I just hated the headlights and wanted the older round headlights or at least the hideaway headlights. I did own a Camaro that was an original square headlight model, but someone swapped out the front clip to an older round light clip. Awesome job too. It also comes in 3DS, FBX, OBJ and Direct X.

Sentul road course track – Dell Sweet This is Sentul a track that someone sent to me and I modified to work in Rad. This is not a bad track at all, some thought was put into the design and so it is very drivable. #Track #DellSweet #Sentul #3DRoadCourse #directx #Track #rs #dellsweet #directx #3dmodels #fbx #lopoly This model is designed and rendered in Direct X. #3DCarModel #directx #dellsweet #lopoly #landscape #3ddesign #3droad #3DLand #dellsweet

With a V10 this truck has lots of power to get anywhere and do anything once there. A truck frame has been mated to the van front body and the 4-wheel drive mechanicals have been added to that.
