my first serious project

mr_demon · 31-03-2004, 10:20 PM

this is my first serious car project, as in, I intend to finish it! tell me what you think of it

mr_demon · 31-03-2004, 10:24 PM

this is one with the window meshes in place, mind you, all the panels are separate objects, since i intend to make a set of panels as in modification options, one more thing, can anyone tell me how to model the reflectors of the front lights cause i can't seem to get them right

it looks really nice so far. Are you using poly or spline modeling? those are some nice cuts... i think i'm doing mine wrong....

I can't wait to see what yours is going to look like... keep us updated

mr_demon · 02-04-2004, 02:20 AM

hey, your ferrari looks ok, the only thing is you need to learn to work with meshsmooth and vertex weights (finish the nissan and fiat turtorials, or at the very least read them, u learn loads by actually doing someone else's models first) + don't put such a bright material on your work in progress, since it makes it look a bit crappy and it's sometimes harder to see errors (but that's just my opinion), use a normal material, then, when ur finished apply textures. by the way, where did u get the free version of brazil and the hdri maps? i've looked all over but can't find any free ones

Very very nice... does the test version allow you to render higher than 512x3XX?? what are the limitations on the test version? I got the Rio version.. only allows renders up to 512x3XX
Yeah probably a good idea to do the tutorials because I don't know what vertex weight is...

thanks

JHarford · 06-04-2004, 11:12 AM

test version is very old - rio is better for now - even with size limitation

mr_demon · 06-04-2004, 11:33 AM

it might be so, but i want big res for big prints to make posters, etc., also rio is a demo an it stops working after like 30 days or somit AND you can't save your work. here's another update

Very nice!!! how do you get thoos nice white reflections on the windows???

mr_demon · 06-04-2004, 11:42 AM

and another, the reflections are just the blueprint pictures behind the car and a reflective falloff fresnel on the windows

mr_demon · 07-04-2004, 07:51 AM

i made a headlight today ..... what d'ya think, is it realistic? next up: door handles and rear lights + side indicators

geoMan · 07-04-2004, 08:30 AM

it looks good...but i cant actually look at it properly....pleas show a closer shot of it....maybe a flat shade even.....then i'll help you with the reflection materials.....

cya demon!
