Vehicle: 2004 Acura TL

[Pavel]

I have started this car few days ago. 13 hours of work so far.
There are no blueprints for the car so I have built it from pictures.

Coments and crits are welcome as always. :p

so here are two renders:

Wow looking very nice and clean.
What sofware are u using ?
How do u get those edges that sharp?
Keep up the good work!!

[Kujoe]

SUPER DUDE.Great work :D

[snowMAN]

Your cuts are lookn real nice, i wanna see updates of this car.

[brazz]

wow dude, very clean mesh. loving it. want to see some ups there.

btw I´m doing this project with a friend that I met in the forums, we want to make this car animation with fast and the furious like cars. It´s been like a month and he is already texturing his Toyota Supra(looking great btw) I was tunning a Peugeot 206 but I lost the file,danm it. So start it this car, an audi A2, not exactly what people would chose to be tunned up, but I was did the oposite way, hehe.
so I hope to finish mine, already tried some rigging for the car, like assign dummys to the rotations of whels and stuff. We did some sketches of a storyboard and it will definetely look great,
loads of nurning ups,
just wanted to share this and maybe encourage more people to take part in projects like this, it´s fun, everybody learns and in the end you will get nice results. I´m thinking about putting up a homepage to show the progress of things so far.

see ya

sorry pavel for using your post to say this.

[Pavel]

Sasp:I am using 3ds Max 5.1 with Brazil RS.
Well I just chamfer the edges by 0,1 .. or more if needed.

brazz: Its ok mate

HOLY......I love those rims.....they honestly don't get more realistic than that.

[el_crni]

how did u made those rims, please explain???????????

they look amazing...

[Pavel]

I use technique that takes a lot of time to model a wheel but you can model difficult shapes that look very good. There was a tutorial on turbosquid.com that use the same technique. You can search for it.

Here is update:

[SNap]

Very nice, very clean! Great model!

[Ferry P]

Wow...even If I wanted...I can't find anything to crit sofar...

Now finish the car and give it some nice paint and throw it in a scene....


great work man....on the car and the rims!

[Pavel]

Thanks for the great coments. I will do everything except the lights today and I hope to finish them tomorrow.
So expect another update soon! ;)

I wont build interior for that car because it is for a client and he don`t want it.

I will model a bodykit... when I finish the car.

[Pavel]

Here is another update! Any crits are welcomed.
I forgot to model the line on the rear fender ... that will be added the next time.

[Pavel]

I am doing a bodykit for it now... just rendered the front bumper. Still a lot to do on it and the front lights :)

http://www.freepgs.com/pavel/2004-Acura-BK-02.jpg

I will do the final renders when I finish both .. stock and tuned versions of the car !

[Honki]

Very Nice Bro.

Could i ask what your Environment settings are????
Did you use lightboxes for those reflections on the rims etc?

[Pavel]

Honki: There is a plane above the car. The material for it is:
Standart max material , 100% self illuminating - for the scanline renderer
And Brazil utility if using Brazil r/s

Then you click with the right button on the plane and go to properties .. remove the tick from `cast shadows`

:p

[Pavel]

Here is an update ... finaly
These are previews of the final renders.
I will have to render very high resulotion images of the finals ... and I can resize them and post if there is someone interested.

[Ferry P]

wow...that looks very thight.
Nice modelling and renders...I can only suggest one thing:

the grey surrounding from the holes in the front (by the grills) will look better if they are also chrome IMO.

[Kujoe]

super work.I like the last the best.Like the color too;)

[R2Wrace2win]

very nice! awsome job with no blueprints :D you plan on doing the interior on this car??

Keep up the good work

[Pavel]

I am not going to model the interior. This is for a client and he dont want interior. I will proceed to other project after that.

:)
thanks for the replies

[Pablo!]

Very nice car it's heavy :)

Greetings

[Pavel]

Well here is the final update!
Modified the vents on the front fender, rear fender and side skirts.
And lowered the car a little bit. :)
Thanks for all the comments guys.
