Another Shiney Car :P

Stylus · 22-01-2005, 08:36 PM

Okay, after the failure of my last project i decided just to have some fun, and maybe learn abit more about poly modeling along the way. So i was thinking about what to model and dedided that a car would be the best thing to do, as there are tons of tutorials on modeling them so if i get stuck i can hopefully find a solution pretty easily.
Im not using and referances because painstakingly following blueprints is not my idea of fun

Anyway... here is where i started :

i might add that this is my 1st car and my 1st propper attempt at poly modeling.
just need to upload next image....

wow, looks great so far. Very nice clean renders.

Stylus · 22-01-2005, 08:51 PM

Thanks jdgill, there are errors in the msmooth but you can't really see them

qooq · 22-01-2005, 09:00 PM

Looks great

I really need to know how you did that nice looking material in that first image or is that a secret...?

You made me want to start modelling a car too... With my own desing!

Maybe I will post it to work in progress too!!

Stylus · 23-01-2005, 06:52 PM

Stylus · 23-01-2005, 07:01 PM

saxo_boy · 23-01-2005, 07:14 PM

hey - nice car man - love the silver car paint - keep em coming

qooq · 23-01-2005, 08:59 PM

You are doing great job!

Your model makes the feeling that the body has the mass that it has... if you know what I mean?

How you do that it displays both mesh and wire?

Stylus · 23-01-2005, 09:28 PM

Ctrl+V with the model selected to copy it, add a push modifier with a value of 0.25-40approx on top of the copy, and reduce the meshsmooth iterations one down from the original and then make a new material with wire enabled, adjust the wire thickness and diffuse colour and then click assign to selection, also you can try adding a relax modifier over the push mod and fiddle around with the values for a tighter fit.
Hope that helps

another update in a minute,....

stylus...

BTW... I have waited over a minute without an update!
