nerrazzi Posted November 8, 2003 Posted November 8, 2003 Sup guys! Well I'm back at it again, this time I'm building a Subaru Impreza. Quote
jfirestine Posted November 8, 2003 Posted November 8, 2003 Wow! Nice model! You going to do the interior as well? Keep us informed of your progress. Can we see some wireframe screen shots too? Quote
Grubber Posted November 8, 2003 Posted November 8, 2003 Fantastic model! Hey! You are really good at car modeling! I wish I had such skills! Quote
JohnArtbox Posted November 8, 2003 Posted November 8, 2003 Nice car, can we have a look at the mesh.? It looks like it would be very clean. Quote
nerrazzi Posted November 8, 2003 Author Posted November 8, 2003 I've taken the liberty of snapping a few shots of my progress while building this sucker, have a look-see. 1. In the first panel, I like to start with the hood when building my vehicles. 2. The second panel shows how I drew a spline around the edge of the hood vent so that I can have a templet to work from. 3. The third panel shows how I extruded that spline right through the hood. I do this because since A:M doesn't have a "fillet" tool this technique serves as a substitute to guide me through the cutting process. More later... Quote
nerrazzi Posted November 8, 2003 Author Posted November 8, 2003 After I extrude, I click on each spline and add a cp. Next, I move that cp so that it's just even with the hood's geometry. When I'm finished adding cp's, I then draw a spline around the newly created cp's and delete the top and bottom splines. From there I can incorprate that spline into the hood's geometry. After you patch all the holes just copy/flip/attach. Quote
nerrazzi Posted November 8, 2003 Author Posted November 8, 2003 Then I work on the grille and fender area. Quote
nerrazzi Posted November 12, 2003 Author Posted November 12, 2003 Added the wheels. I'll be working on some of the details now. Quote
nonuniform Posted November 12, 2003 Posted November 12, 2003 Thanks for posting the pix of the modeling in progress. That was a great example of a modeling workflow how-to! Quote
JohnArtbox Posted November 12, 2003 Posted November 12, 2003 Thanks for the process pics Nerrazzi. I might go back to my Merc E with new eyes now. Very cool car Quote
nerrazzi Posted November 13, 2003 Author Posted November 13, 2003 Hey you guys are welcome! I hoped that it would do someone some good. Anyway, I textured the wheels (I know my texturing isn't the best ) and started the vents on the hood. I'm going to wrap this car up in the next few days or so and post it on my website for download if anyone's interested. I'll also send it to Hash's free models site. It won't have the interior or engine included because quite frankly I don't have the time to do it. Quote
nino banano Posted November 13, 2003 Posted November 13, 2003 great modeling!!! really you have a good hability ...congratulations Quote
gra4mac Posted November 14, 2003 Posted November 14, 2003 Hi nerrazzi. Im' very impressed by your car models and really liked seeing the WIP shots of the Subaru. If you ever had the inclination to put a tutorial together, I would love to see it. I have a lot of trouble keeping the surface smoothe. As for the Lamborghini rotos, if you could find a model kit , the instructions might have the ortho images you need. You could also make the model, then scan it. Also, some of the images on the sites listed above are very close to what you need, could you not alter them in PhotoShop to get them close enough? Keep up the great work. Quote
