	The idea was to re-scale one of the models and ~~covert~~ it to OBJ to load it with CarWorks or Stressed and start working on it. The CERV III was chosen first. The 3D model produced lots of artefacts in Stunts, so it was simplified until it was more or less stable and then Cas made the first very rudimentary 3SH file with CarWorks 0.1. He also obtained the dashboard images from Test Drive III by brute force, taking screenshots of the game and made a very basic VSH file that produced many glitches. From that point onward, KyLiE worked alone on the model for months with Cas only testing it from time to time.

	Around the middle of November 2020, [[KyLiE]] asked [[Cas]] how feasible it would be to import a Test Drive III car model into Stunts. Cas replied that making a Stunts-compatible model was not the problem, but interpreting the format of TD3 models might be unthinkable. Looking at the binary files, he hadn't a clue of how it could be done. Then KyLiE pointed out that he had seen a topic in the forum not long before regarding Test Drive III models. Cas remembered it. It was a Stunts forum topic that contained a link to another forum in which somebody had created a Blender model of one of the Test Drive III scenarios. Cas downloaded it and found that the three original car models were part of the scenario model, so he cropped them and turned them into separate Blender files.

			== Performance ==

			The performance of the CERV III in the Stunts world matches the real car as closely as possible. While it's impressive by supercar standards, it's important to remember that this is a road car, not a race car. It is similar to the [[Ferrari F40]] in terms of acceleration and grip, however the CERV III has a higher flat track top speed.
