[kingcobra]

just started it this evening...first look...

[kingcobra]

meshsmoothed...

[Radarhead]

Damn, dude! You work quickly! Looks great so far.

[kingcobra]

this render shows the body line detail a bit better I think...

[Emperor]

Ello again KC :D! Very good n fast as ever hehe. I ain't familliar with this one in particular but it would be cool if you made the final composition of it to look like an old utility turck. U know kinna oil stained n dusty :D! Looking good. Keep it up :D!

[3Dan]

:p
So this is the stepdown you told us was sold. well, welcome back stepdown.
I'm with Emperor, wishing to see a stock used-up version.

Luke...

That's what i think too. It's coming along just fine. Have you thought about the color scheme for this beauty? Turquoise, Red or Cream were part of the supplied schemes.

[kingcobra]

yes I will do an original version in factory colors also...here is a small update...

[AbsolutePePe]

Very nice, looks kind of like a West Coast Low-rider

[Sniper]

Its looking great. I love the rims. Very nice indeed.


Luke....

[kingcobra]

still a lot more left to make...but here is an update...

[kingcobra]

another pic...

[3Dan]

Fantabulous! Specially the chain and bolts on the rails...
Now it needs that carpaint by radarhead to be a stunning model.:cool: :cool: :cool:

[Radarhead]

Update, please! :D

[kingcobra]

this is exactly what my real one looked like....of course I sold it last year because it didn't have a/c and it gets hot here in georgia...I do miss it though....

[Sniper]

Thats what your one looked like??? Man it was straight for an old car...LOL. Can you do one that looks old? Like oxidized paint spots of rust that sort of thing? That would really look good I think.

Keep the pics comming.....Luke....

[rubberduck]

Looks great man:)
But take a look at this, I know I'm being picky now:o

[ronrn]

SHARP!!!! Great work. Beautifull color and those wheels are perfect. I was the proud owner of a beige Apache about 15yrs ago. Always regretted selling it. BTW, nice to meet someone else from Georgia here. Small world huh?

[kingcobra]

my real one...

[kingcobra]

the back of the bed rails is correct....they are open...not capped...and the bed is sheetmetal...and has a rolled edge...as for the bottom of the door I will give it a look....thanks

[ronrn]

Let me guess? 350 cubic inch , 3 speed on column.

[kingcobra]

350, 700R4 w floor shifter....camaro subframe, 4 wheel disk brakes.....drove like a new one...looked like an old one.....the best of both worlds.

[ronrn]

WOW i bet you do miss it:)

[JOSHnigga]

Practically flawless model.

But why do the rimms keep changing?

[3Dan]

More views from the front, please:D
Where are the chromed window frames?

[Emperor]

Great model man!!! And I belive the rims keep changing cuz has a set of like well...MANY different ones done that he uses :D! Keep it going...and man that car is pwetty!!!:roll:

[kingcobra]

more front pics comin 3dan.....this one has the chrome window trim....the front windshield didn't have chrome...just a rubber seal... I have made a lot of changes to different parts of it such as curving the front bumper...and cutting the front fenders from the main body...

[kingcobra]

another pic...

[kingcobra]

here's a front pic...

[kingcobra]

thanks rinne....heres another one...4x4 style...lol

[Murc XIII]

those all look great

that last one is the kind of thing i'd like to drive...

[3Dan]

Hey, the last one is a rare find!
The Stepside looks better highrider than lowrider:roll:

[xboxthug13b]

lol..that last render is creative

[Kujoe]

Wow ,Great work ..I see you really learned alot..Looks sweet.Keep it up..Like the 700r4 too..;) :) I wish i worked as fast as you...:o

[kingcobra]

thanks....here is an update...also I am trying to set up my lighting/shadows/reflections...thanks to a friend of mine name kaine...I will get it eventually...

[kingcobra]

here's the new wheel I made for it...and other models...

[kingcobra]

another render...

[l7d]

i was just about to suggest a blower, but hey presto!!:D
we need more uncommon cars being rendered, rather than the old ferraris and porches and fiat500's

[Sniper]

:( your blower looks better than mine..:( LOL
But mine has 3 carbys..:D

That truck looks awsome. the blower fits in there very nicely too.

Im making up a few different V8 setups for future models Big tunnel ram and blower with fuel injection. Once Im done the porsche im going to make an Australian muscle car based on a car that I used to own.

Luke...

[3Dan]

These custom versions are really nice. "Big Foot" deserves good textures as well!
The faked sky reflection rocks too, gives good contrast to the scene.
I've created a very simple faked reflection, try it if you want.;)

[Radarhead]

Wow! That last one is a beauty!! The blower is very detailed.

[mason]

how bout a set of these on that bad boy!

[Sniper]

Ok KC I wont be out of town by high noon. But I propose a race..:D your Chevy versus my Cobra..:P Im sure we can come up with a nice drag stip scene for them.. :) LOL

Luke....

[kingcobra]

I will make a dragstrip scene....then we will stick em in there....and let radarhead do the render since he's the render machine around this place...hehe

[kingcobra]

check this out...hehe...( I guess gravity is holding the bike on the trailer...lol, no straps)

[Sniper]

That would be cool KC. That last pic is cool..lol what good hraley doesnt come with a trailer.LOL

Luke....

[kingcobra]

are you sure that little cobra want's a piece of this? muhahahaha!!!hehe

[kingcobra]

side view

[Sniper]

Hmmm.. Ok thats it...(Pushes the porsche back on the pile) Ok now you have asked for it..:P Check out the cobra thread for updates soooooonn..:D

Luke...

[kingcobra]

oh god what have I started???lol... I'm not done yet either!!!hahahah

[kingcobra]

rear view...gotta fix the jaggies in my paint...weird...only in this render...

[kingcobra]

update...

[kingcobra]

wish I could post higher quality pics...

[kingcobra]

you can see the NOS lines, fuel lines and scoop detail...

[kingcobra]

NOS bottle detail...

[Mafty]

maybe putting the nos tag on the bottles?

[shift]

woah absolutely kick ass :D that baby is gonna burrrn! :P

[AbsolutePePe]

Nos..........ughh

[Scop-Man]

you guys put nos in anything with more than 2 wheels!


that chevy would fall apart after using one of them, but two!!!

[animatedcircle]

kickass modelling here :) keep em coming!

[3Dan]

Can you light up the scene a bit so that the car shows better?
How about some white lettering on the tires:cool:

[Torlok2002]

man i really really hate trucks, but i have to admit, i wouldnt mind having this one!!!!!


I agree with lightening it up alittle

[kingcobra]

talk about reviving an old thread...anyways with my new skills I decided to have a re render of this one...
