Ferrari, F430

[Der Meister]

Yes a ferrari F430 if you dont think it is real look for it on fastautos.net and you will see it there... ferrari just gave a press release on it last week so i figured i would get a jump on modeling it. it is a mix of the F360 and the F550 barchetta. so hears a pic of what i have so far.

[Der Meister]

Another update....

[Der Meister]

another small up date

[novoAlias]

wow very clean :) i like it

no crits yet

[Cyrenn]

I agree with Black wolf this is a very clean model. No crits so far.

I like the detail in the grill. By the way how did you happen to cut that grill in there. Is that done with opacity maps, or was that modeled in.

Mind posting a wire.

Looking forward to seeing this model done.

looks like it's modelled

nice model, great car

[droopdog]

very clean, wanna see more of it
keep posting

[Dridon]

Nice job on this 1 could you post wire?

[L10N]

Cyrenn: really looks like modeled. a very easy way to do that is by using the lattice modifier (in max) or was it under compound menu :)

anyway, try it on a 10x10 plane, and u will see my point...

[Jason-Lavoie]

oh this one is going to be good.. :)

[Der Meister]

yes the grear gril is modeled, however i didn't use the lattice modifier (did not know it was there) i made them with a bunch of boxes and then connected them all making them into 1 object.

hears the wire.... um do you guys now how to render the mesh with the wires iluminated????

[L10N]

im not a noob, but for some reason, I dont quite know what illuminated means :)

[SNap]

Illuminated means, lightened, with light, glowing.

Nice start on the car... keep at it.

[Der Meister]

another update window and prancing horse badge on the car

[Der Meister]

could not resist maping on the car :D ... nothing fancy yet...

[Der Meister]

Last one for the night... lol its 2:00 Am

[droopdog]

its looking nicly clean, but i think the nose + hood looks wrong, dont know why, but it looks odd maybe its just the cam angle

[Viper0]

Hi Der Meister, very good modelling and very clean.
How did you made de ferrari logos?? (the horse and the letters), can we see a close-up of this details??
Keep posting ;)

[Der Meister]

the Ferrari is just a simple Max text with and edit mesh on it for some tweeks... the horse is a line with an edit mesh on it that has been edtruded... it looks really good when there is a map on it....

[Mister Hot Rod]

Have you don the horse realy in 3D, or did you place the original horse texture over the flat model. The horse looks more realistic then the other parts of your car yet, but maybe that's for later ;)

[Der Meister]

the outline of the horse is done in 3d, but it's all in the map applied to it. the map gives it the true 3d affect. that you see...
the paint on the car is only for the effect (yha i know the apint on the car sucks, but the cars not done yet...)

[Der Meister]

With long adue.... i have been waiting forever to have time to work on this... you all know how it is when High school strats up again... your free time is non-existant... i have been working on my other car the testarossa at school. yha its pruty amaizing that they have an animation class in High school espeicaly in the US... any ways i have remade the front of the car i didnt really like the first one so i think this one is a better start tweek are needed but it will due for now... C & C like always!!!! :D

[Der Meister]

and a top side view of the car...

[L10N]

great, but you need sharper corners

[Der Meister]

can you explain your sharper corners idea and where they need to be sharper... thanks for the comment...

[L10N]

well, see the pic below.

1. this looks just weird
2. i dont think this area is meant to be like this. at first i thought its just too round, but now i see that the lower part is kinda dislocated or sth.. well, maybe you intended to do this or maybe the camera angel makes it look like this, go figure :)

[L10N]

damn pic missed the train

[Der Meister]

yha the window is a little messed up i need to fix that. i'll also take a look a the font.

[Der Meister]

ok reworked the front of car and window added front lights as well next is thae back lights there giveing me a little bit of a problem at the moment but i'll get them done soon. anyways C&C...
