Its annoying, everytime I do a render I find something else that looks wrong!!!

this render reminds me of an ad for tires in a magazine i have ehhe... gj

same angle and everything...

3Dway'OLife · 27-02-2004, 02:51 AM

Thanks guys

Scott99 - oh yeah I knew it looked familiar, you mean that B&W ad saying even getting lost is fun

I've been messing around with the materials but don't really know how to create what i want can someone help?!?

I want this material, and will be rendered in mental ray

3Dway'OLife · 29-02-2004, 01:25 AM

the closest thing i can think of is... brazil chrome mat with glossy reflection... I can't get max 6 to boot up with mental ray so i was forced to remove the mental ray plugin and use brazil

Thanks mengy but i'm using mental ray. Its got a blur setting for metal (lume) material but i can't get it to work

Started on the interior here's so far

hmmm what should I say... other than NICE... better than mine (check it out, link is below)
I do think that the side line should be deaper, and yes I know how hard that will be, because I had to fix mine eeek (the door seems get all messed up)
also you add another cut to your seems, they look too rounded..
some one told me the rule of three, three cuts all about .01 apart make a really crisp edge...
looking very nice tho.. keep it up one day we will both finish these and I should send you my file to have you render them side by side and we can have a look-c that would be cool

(you get to render because you computer is um kind of nice aye)

3Dway'OLife · 14-04-2004, 09:02 AM

Thanks for the comments man i'll ave a lil look at your work in a mo.

I'm pretty sure i did make the crease bigger, can't remember as i left this model alone for a while to do some architectural work. I do think a lot of the car models you see the edges are far too sharp.

Attached is the latest render i have.

I wanna get the model on the same level as the z4 of Radu3

Nice idea bout the comparison

Kujoe · 14-04-2004, 11:19 AM

That cars looking sweet.Your have a nice set of rims there.Great job

3Dway'OLife · 17-04-2004, 03:36 PM

Thanks Kujoe, they were a battle to model but learnt a lot from em..............still trying to get the material right on them

Lil update been tweaking the rear quarter pannel, cutting the tail lights and working on the side windows. Still lots to do just keeping yall up to date
