pixelmech Posted March 25, 2005 Posted March 25, 2005 Well, I went as far as I was going to go with this project. I'm supposed to be learning animation not building cars, so I stopped tweaking. I learned a lot by doing it, the next time I do a car I'll do a bunch of things different. I was going to decal a second version to be a kind of formula 1 racing car, I may still do that for fun - with sponsorships on it and the whole deal. Anyway, here is my first rendered still, the car is pretty much complete as I said. This is using one of Yves 25 light skylights with a 16 pass render. I don't think its centered but oh well. Took about an hour to render. I'll do a couple more from different angles and post them when I get a chance. Let me know what you think! Tom Quote
John Bigboote Posted March 26, 2005 Posted March 26, 2005 Love it Tom, good work! HEY! Maybe you should do-up a nice render of it and enter it into the image contest!!? Why not...? Better yet- (brainstorming) Lets do a combined effort! You supply the car, I'LL put on of my V11 ultra-bimbo's posing on it...kinda like a motorcycle magazine or something! Your part will be the SCI-FI, mine will be the fantasy... JUST an idea... see avatar for example Quote
pixelmech Posted March 26, 2005 Author Posted March 26, 2005 LOL John! Love the idea! Was thinking of submitting it - it totally is a fantasy car - pm me if you really want to and we can figure out how to do it! It has to be as tasteful as a bimbo on a car can be though More fun than sexual if you get my drift Tom Quote
pixelmech Posted March 26, 2005 Author Posted March 26, 2005 A rear shot, didn't come out as well. I need to get some materials for the floor (carpet or something) and seats (some kind of synthetic leather or something) and probably the dash and door insides - metal is not good there! I kind of stopped doing much in the cockpit since you can't really see in, but you kind of can here. Quote
agep Posted March 28, 2005 Posted March 28, 2005 The mach 5 looks very nice.. like the overall dynamic shape, its very smooth Also like the rear end.. The paint is might a bit bright though (atleast on my monitor).. Keep up the good work Quote
Sevenar Posted March 28, 2005 Posted March 28, 2005 Good job, pixelmech! Apart from the other minor quibbles already mentioned, it looks like there's a slight crease in the body right near the top of the door frame, and the headlights are the wrong color... But still a damn fine job. Kudos! Quote
pixelmech Posted March 28, 2005 Author Posted March 28, 2005 Thanks guys! Yeah, there is an issue by the door because I didn't do a good job of breaking the door out and making it an actual door so it can open. I just don't have the time to redo it now. I almost wish I could start it over - but I'm not going there! Quote
Eos Posted April 2, 2005 Posted April 2, 2005 Nice car! C'mon man, let's see it in a background or a carshow platform! Quote
pixelmech Posted April 2, 2005 Author Posted April 2, 2005 JohnBigboote and I did a co-entry into this month's image contest and here it is - platform and more! The girl models and the setup was done by him. Quote
Eos Posted April 3, 2005 Posted April 3, 2005 I like it! The rims look sensational now with all those reflection. That chick is meant for carshows too. I wonder if one day all the great car modellers in this forum would like to do a virtual carshow, with all their cars in platforms and 3d chicks presenting them... wouldn't that be nice! A good group proyect. Quote
agep Posted April 3, 2005 Posted April 3, 2005 Beautiful!!! Love the platform, and the paint and the chrome, just what i want for my mclaren (that isnt the chrome that is on the cd is it??) Quote
pixelmech Posted April 3, 2005 Author Posted April 3, 2005 Sorry so long in replying Stian - the chrome is the one I got from that free AM materials website (not the CD), not sure of the link but if you still need it let me know - looks like you are there with your car now based on the McLaren thread. It didn't actually look that good until Matt rendered it in his scene - didn't look so good (or as good) in my "black" render. The paint is Colin's 'basic metal' from the materials forum area - colored white of course. BTW your car came out awesome, it continues to get better and better! Tom Quote
