Toon Car Finished

[camzilla]

I am glad to say my car is done. That doesn't mean I won't take help so if you have a comment or critique please let me know. Now I'm on to animation with it for a commercial I'm hoping to get.

Thanks, I really like doing this model I may need to stick to cars.

Awesome toon car! I love the style. Very nice.

That's cute one!

 

You might experiment with just a bit of front detail, like a bumper or a grill to give it a "face".

I like the style, too! I assume the people who drive the car are just as stylized.

 

Thanks for showing your work,

I'll see what I can do with the front to make it come alive.

Actually, at this point the comercial doesn't call (or pay) for any people in it. After I finish the project I will look at using it for something more important and creating characters for it. Thanks for the compliment

Here is an animation about 75% finished. Needs dust and a few other things tweaked. As always C&C is appreciated.

See car-rigg thread......

Thanks for the compliments this has been a fun one. As for the rigging... Well I did this in a simple way that I double will work for other projects. I created a parent bone for the body and all non moving parts on the car. I used children for the trunk and hood. Then I used four different parent bones for the wheels and made pose sliders for the left and right turns. A slider for the body lean and an action for rest. I know I probably lost some respect with the simplicity but for the project I'm working on it is all I need. I will eventually completely finish the car inside and out with a fully functional rig.

 

Thanks again for the comments

Nice car! You should try rendering it in a Ives Skylight scene.

I'd love to try that but I'm not sure what it is. Let me know how to do it and I'll give it a try. Thanks

Here you'll find info about the skylight rig http://www.ypoart.com/tutorials/skylights-intro.htm. Nice car by the way

Any suggestions about how to make dust come up as the car skids around the corners. I have tried using particle systems and I have not been able to figure out how to get the dust to start and stop. Any suggestions?

you know that AM has dust volumetrics right?

Yes but I couldn't get it to look the way I wanted it to with them.
