DarkLimit Posted July 12, 2007 Posted July 12, 2007 Cool...... The way I approach modeling is viewing the model in half.....it makes it more simple for me to visualize it although u have rotoscopes.... Quote

Viper GTX2.0 Posted July 14, 2007 Author Posted July 14, 2007 I spend a good 4 hrs or more and this how fare i got. I am thinking to redo the bottom part but then if u look at the nixus pics it looks like its a lil flat not all the way round. So wat do you guys think is it good or somthing wrong. Quote
3DArtZ Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 Ahh, Nixus from the great Cristobal Villa of EI fame..... This will certianly be an interesting project for A:M's modeller. Keep us posted! Mike Fitz www.3dartz.com Quote
the_black_mage Posted July 15, 2007 Posted July 15, 2007 btw, you have made sure all the images are in sync right? if one image is diffrent from another it could cause confusion. you can stretch the images to fit the size which is what i do... Quote

Ya i know lol i always make shure its all the same so everthing match but thx for pointing it out. like i said eny help is great. Quote
Viper GTX2.0 Posted July 15, 2007 Author Posted July 15, 2007 I think i need to go on a control point diet/spline diet. What do yall think. Quote
the_black_mage Posted July 15, 2007 Posted July 15, 2007 Make that your last step, i think its fine though... Quote
3DArtZ Posted July 16, 2007 Posted July 16, 2007 I think i need to go on a control point diet/spline diet. What do yall think. To save you a bit of a headache.... expect to delete splinage after you've modeled most of the car. That way you can build to match the shape/rotos without going crazy. Also, I'm not sure what you ment before, but this car was not constructed of one solid piece. It was built section by section. So certianly dont try and build this as one mesh.

Viper GTX2.0 Posted July 16, 2007 Author Posted July 16, 2007 I think im geting the hang. its looking better every day and still need to make it a lil more smooth but its geting there. I cant wait wen its done its going to look off the hook. Quote
Eric2575 Posted July 16, 2007 Posted July 16, 2007 Viper: I don't want to detract from what you are doing, so I am not going to model the NIXUS now. You are doing great and should keep this thread for yourself. If I can be of any help, I will. I will certainly keep checking back in here. Keep up the good work. Eric Quote
Eric2575 Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 Smoothing it out comes last. Finish all the rest of the panels and everything else. Patience, patience, patience. Besides, from that angle it looks pretty smooth. Once you are done with all the panels, put a high spec and med intensity value on all the panels and look at it from all sorts of different directions. The spec values will give a clearer indication of where the panels need to be straightened. Then smooth, then post final and wireframe render of trouble spots for us to examine. Quote
case Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 wow for the little you have done it looks smooth nice work! Quote
Viper GTX2.0 Posted July 17, 2007 Author Posted July 17, 2007 oK SOME PANELS ARE DRIVING ME CRAZY LIKE THAT FRONT WHEEL WEL. ENY ONE KNOW HOW TO MAKE A WHEEL WEL VERY SMOTH AND SHAPE LIKE THE NIXUS. Quote
Eric2575 Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 Start with the wheelwell outline and extrude back. Very similar to the back wheelwell. You are doing great, just keep experimenting. Every shape is a new challenge. Quote
Viper GTX2.0 Posted July 18, 2007 Author Posted July 18, 2007 Done a lil today but im geting there. Quote
agep Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 You are doing a good job. The model looks smooth so far Quote
Viper GTX2.0 Posted July 18, 2007 Author Posted July 18, 2007 I did a copy/flip/attatch to see how it looks. Quote
the_black_mage Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 lookin good dude! btw i totaly know what i'm doing with this! i'm goin for realism man.... Quote

Viper GTX2.0 Posted July 20, 2007 Author Posted July 20, 2007 done wheel today. I mite restart the wheel cous i dont think it look right wat yall think? Quote
Viper GTX2.0 Posted July 20, 2007 Author Posted July 20, 2007 i tryed the nixus model in 3D max to see how it would turn out not bad not bad at all. I convert the model format from AM to 3dmax format. Quote
DarkLimit Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 Looking good man....keep up the good work..... Quote
Viper GTX2.0 Posted July 20, 2007 Author Posted July 20, 2007 I started working on the front wheel wel today. Quote
Mr. Jaqe Posted July 21, 2007 Posted July 21, 2007 Looking good. Very smooth and neat splinage. Can't wait for the finnished car! Quote
Viper GTX2.0 Posted July 22, 2007 Author Posted July 22, 2007 Yup i think i improved a lot sins previes models i made dont ya think? Quote
the_black_mage Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 seriously man, you've gotten much better! Quote
Viper GTX2.0 Posted July 22, 2007 Author Posted July 22, 2007 Worked on the side windows today and later in the day maybe roof. Quote
3DArtZ Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 Looks great from the side.... however, I don't like that 3pt patch you have, or at least what looks to be a 3pt patch by the back wheel area. Youd be better off running another spline around the wheel fender for avoid any rendering artifacts... But overall, very nice repro sofar of a pretty sharp car design...
