*A:M User* Shelton Posted May 3, 2009 Author *A:M User* Share Posted May 3, 2009 Thanks Stian. I am starting the model of a transit bus this week and would like so crits from you and the other mechanical modelers. I have not built anything such as car or truck so this one should be difficult for me. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*A:M User* Shelton Posted May 19, 2009 Author *A:M User* Share Posted May 19, 2009 I am back at it and trying to create a mirror on the bus. I want to see the refelections in the mirror, I can see the glass reflecting toward the windshield but if I go at an angle to see to the rear it only shows a dark color or no reflection at all. What type of settings should I have on the surface? Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*A:M User* Shelton Posted June 1, 2009 Author *A:M User* Share Posted June 1, 2009 I have been sick for several days and have not felt like doing much. Had a few minutes this evening and finished the rear end. Rendered these shots and found several mistakes. corners on the back front doors hanging, etc. I will complete these items but as little time as the bus will be on screen, i am not going to kill myself finishing a detailing it out, which would be fun. I will keep this project around and visit it later. Good news is I found some help with the short. Voices, texturing, music and several other things I will not have to kill myself to complete.

*A:M User* Shelton Posted June 8, 2009 Author *A:M User* Share Posted June 8, 2009 Thanks the only thing is the advertising panels and a couple of decals on the tires and she is done. Steve Ran into some corruption of the model. and so to cover it I am placing the adverts on the bus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*A:M User* Shelton Posted June 8, 2009 Author *A:M User* Share Posted June 8, 2009 Here is the shot of the bus spline corruption. Not sure what caused it. Notice under the second window from rearof the bus the black dots. These dos are evident all along this spline on both sides (copy/flip/attached). If I remove this spline the entire model distorts. I restore this spline and all is well except for the blemishes during the render. I like who the mesh turned out on the grills Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Forwood Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Cool bus, Steve! I think that the creasing/dots that you can see are cause by that row of hooks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
