Another Russian station wagon to the mix.
(This mod has been already released. Please check it here.)
In case if you're wondering, this car is one of many recurring ones in Russian NFS Most Wanted modding community. Notably the most iconic version was Strik's (replacing Eclipse), the most tunable was Bif B's (replacing IS300), and the most recent one at the time of writing is piman's (replacing RX-8 (standalone version) or Mustang GT (4 in 1 version that also includes VAZ-2105 and 2107)), but unfortunately, Sturgeon's Law is in effect, meaning that they might not be good anyway (Strik's VAZ-2104 being the worst one thanks to it not made for high shadow settings in mind as the UVs are located beyond acceptable), not to mention about the fact that all of them were converted from GTA mods. For my VAZ-2104, I decided to go for a different approach...
I originally intended to take Motor Depot model as base, but I actually learned it uses model from GTA mod as base as well (and so does Russian Rider Online, which has tuning parts), so I had other options: take model from Лада: Королева Рейсинга (Lada: Queen of Racing) or combine models from Lada Racing Club. Knowing that the former's model is terrible, I took the latter approach. The front is of playable VAZ-2105, and the rear is of traffic VAZ-2104. Though I had to alter the rear part of traffic model because traffic cars have less polygons and their door seams and some detailing being part of 2D texture. Also it's gonna be 2005-2012 model rather than 1984-2004 one (which was used by other VAZ-2104 mods)
