bentothemax Posted June 23, 2005 Posted June 23, 2005 Holy crap, REALLY nice job I love the headlights . . . i hope my picutres helped neither can i wait for a spin!!! good job One thing ghouhm what about the grill? Ben Quote
Jin-Kazama Posted June 23, 2005 Author Posted June 23, 2005 hi guys bentothemax: sure the pix helped..but cuz i made a mistake from the start. i couldn't get the front light the way they should be....i tried another design instead. iGeek: very good tut. but for decaling, not for the material i wish to use...i think i will use this once i fail trying the projection map...well.. let's go for something else, the material of the car itself,,,,does this mat is ok?? lighting also is very important for realastic pic....this is what i want to get as a result....if someone wish to post him the porsche model....i will.....this will increase the ideas that we can get to have a car render similar to other 3d apps....proving that AM is not less than other apps.... Quote
Jin-Kazama Posted June 23, 2005 Author Posted June 23, 2005 ok,,,,,,,do u think it's time to post my first (how to) tutorial in how i modeled this car??????? does anyone interst about modeling cars?? Quote

itsjustme Posted June 24, 2005 Posted June 24, 2005 Very nice, Jin! The only thing that I'm wondering about is the window on the door, it looks like one piece of glass from the door into the body behind the door (I'm not familiar with how this car's windows look, so, feel free to ignore me)...I could just be looking at it wrong. I'm definitely looking forward to the tutorial! Quote

jamagica Posted July 2, 2005 Posted July 2, 2005 Sweet! Finally someone has a tutorial on modeling a car...from start to end Quote
DarkLimit Posted July 2, 2005 Posted July 2, 2005 Jin this is fantastic stuff... when we next talk we will discuss any errors the tut has.... thanks so much for doing this tut.. Quote
patrick_j_clarke Posted July 2, 2005 Posted July 2, 2005 jin, Great job modeling the car! It's nice to see other A:M users doing some mechanical modeling. We used A:M the first year of our Dodge contract to model their line of trucks and found it to be pretty nice (low patch count is NICE). We now get he CAD dataset (polys) direct from Dodge (the same file is used to produce the actual vehicle) so we now use Cinema 4D for our Dodge project, but building from scratch, I'd go back to A:M in a second. I feel we could achieve the same quality as our Cinema 4D stuff with all we've learned over the last 3 years. Dodge Truck in A:M 2002 If you want, I can help with some of the materials (paint, chrome, lights), just let me know if you would like me to give it a shot. Headlights are tricky. To get real good ones without using maps, you need all that crazy geometry that's actually in a headlight. I really haven't found a way to fake having the real stuff in there. Dodge Durango in Cinema 4D 2004 Anyway, EXCELLENT job on the car! Great splining! Can't wait to see more shots, and more of your tutorial. - pjc Quote
Jin-Kazama Posted July 2, 2005 Author Posted July 2, 2005 jamagica: thanx man dark: u can fix any language mistakes, ask dennis, he has the user anem and password of where i uploaded all the files, take the html files and update them then upload them back..only replacing the html file..me and u are one person brother.. patrick_j_clarke : sure u can do anything u want....start from now...i will upload the mdl file contains the final step i made...now i'm working on the next section of the car...i will upload the mdl file so u can check and do whatever u want...do the tuts u want...i will try to take sometime to design a good home page for the tutorial...that link is only the start of the tut...as many friends asked me to hurry up writing it ( what do they think i would write anyway ) just give me 3 days to finish the home page and arrange all the sections...i will try to make this site as A:M vehicle modeling site....u and others will share writing tuts...i like that car....crazy idea to compare mine with this one...eeeeeeeeh....a small noob...anyway...just give me 3 days and i'm ready...or u may send your e-mail to me so i can send u the mdl file or the complete PRJ file...this is my yahoo e-mail: jin_kazama00110011@yahoo.com thanx for all support....i love u all brothers....we will keep it up Quote
patrick_j_clarke Posted July 3, 2005 Posted July 3, 2005 Sounds cool jin! BTW, on both Dodge projects, my main modeler and animator, Kevin Lyon modeled most of the A:M truck (I spent most of my time on the cargo and the wheels) and in the Durango version, Kevin did an excellent job on the environment. MORE PORSCHE!! - pjc Quote
Jin-Kazama Posted July 8, 2005 Author Posted July 8, 2005 aaaaah...bad days left....we were busy in the company cuz we've changed our old GSM system into a new one....was a nightmare... yeah patrick, i loved those cars....very smooth, smoother than mine...when i compare....mine look like an old car in a garage...hehehe u r good modelers and i wish to be in your level one day....bye the way..i saw some tuts previewed in flash player...i wanted to do my car tut using this way....very very cool way....does anyone know how they did those tutorial files??? keep us in touch and send me your email address brother.... love ya jin Quote
Jin-Kazama Posted July 14, 2005 Author Posted July 14, 2005 hi there.... i'm so sorry guys cuz i had to stop writing the tut...but guess why??? there's no arrangment for what happened, i was modeling a porsche car...and now i'm going to do a commercial add for prosche carrera....i was very happy to be choosen and the company in my country asked me if i can do them a tv add for the car....i'm happy and scared as well....not an easy job for a noob like me...so i may need the most help u can offer....here's the latest steps i did for the car....if there's any comments about smoothing please give it to me....i will need to model this car very well....also for the material i have to use....settings and stuff... thanx alot and i'm happy to be a member in hash family jin Quote
bentothemax Posted July 14, 2005 Posted July 14, 2005 WOAH !!! Congratulations! thats really great to hear. I think the carrera looks really good so far! If there is any help you need that you can get from me, by all means just ask! Great job Ben Quote

thejobe Posted July 14, 2005 Posted July 14, 2005 congratz man!! i know it sounds like oh my god how am i going to do this, thats how i felt when i got my first ad design job, just do the best work you can and all will be fine. remeber we are always here to help Quote
ddustin Posted July 14, 2005 Posted July 14, 2005 Congratulations Jin!! The forum is here for you if you need help!! David Quote
KenH Posted July 14, 2005 Posted July 14, 2005 Wow! That's great to hear! We will be able to help you better if you give us wireframe combined with shaded imges so we can see what's going on with splines. But it all looks good to me at the moment. Quote
Jin-Kazama Posted July 15, 2005 Author Posted July 15, 2005 HI AGAIN....THANX ALOT FOR THIS SUPPORT here's the shaded wireframe image for the car....i hope it help i tried to use the minimume number of patches....is this correct.? thax alot and will keep posting new steps as it finishs. jin... Quote
KenH Posted July 15, 2005 Posted July 15, 2005 Looks just fine. There may be one or two splines that aren't necessary, but I can't see them. I would have thought porche already have a 3D model of their car?!? Quote
thejobe Posted July 15, 2005 Posted July 15, 2005 man its coming along great. this is going to be an amazing model what did porche ask for anyway if you dont mind me asking? Quote
Jin-Kazama Posted July 15, 2005 Author Posted July 15, 2005 till now nothing....a friend of mine..who knows the owner of the company whitch toke the distrbution rights from porsche saw my porsche 911 and asked me if i'm able to do a commercial movie for porsche...i sayd said sure...then he talked to them...they welcomed the idea and the manager called me to insure my ability to do the add...this add would coast them alot if they made it outside of the country....so at the moment, i'm preparing the 3d model of carrera....there's no idea in thier minds...i thought about making it 3d not a camera add cuz i will do some morphing and effects that can't be made on a real carrera...changing from a spaceship looks somehow like the body of the car into the carrera shape....( came directly from future) this is the basic idea i have...i thought to do the modeling in A:M then do the animation in C4D....i changed mymind as i want everything to be done inside A:M...with adobe after effect support..one of the concepts they asked for is to give some localize look in the add..like the porsche standing and an old yemeni building in the back....not sure yet what will i do....i think i have to finish the model first then i will have the material which will help me to do the add.... jin Quote
thejobe Posted July 15, 2005 Posted July 15, 2005 wow really cool, sounds like alot of fun thats a really cool concept morphing and everything. Quote
Jin-Kazama Posted July 17, 2005 Author Posted July 17, 2005 hi.........seems somebody liked the idea....here's the latest steps... Quote
Mr. Jaqe Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 Wow! Turned out pretty darn good! You gonna add tires? Quote
Jin-Kazama Posted July 17, 2005 Author Posted July 17, 2005 sure i will add tires...not now....let me finish the car's metalic body first...i found some mistakes in the frontlight area...i detached it and will rebuild it again.....when all body fixing progress is over....i will start with tires then will move to model the chairs and cabients (the intiror car stuff).....sorry for the bad english......... jin Quote
Dhar Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 Bad Engleezi is no problem akhi, your work is worth a thousand words. Hey, forget regular tires, how about the wheels that turn downward and anti-gravity light comes out of them and the Carrera flies away? Kinda like the DeLorean in Back to the Future Great work! Quote
oakchas Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 All this progress "from zero to 120" in a month and ten days! First post June 7... last post today! Wow! Fantastic.... I hope I do 1/10th as well.... wow! wow! Quote
spikerthree Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 I hate to jump in on this thread so late, but I couldn't resist. Jin, excellent modelling. For everyone, www.3dtotal.com is a great resource for all things 3D. While they're not aimed particularily at A:M stuff, check out the tutorials section (Free stuff>tutorials). There is an EXTENSIVE car modelling tutorial under the tutorials>Maya section. Happy modelling Quote
