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.

Well I changed the knees. She was 5'5" and I decided to make her 5'8" and cleaned up the arms as well. Got the shoes on

 

It will be a couple of days before I post another update.

 

Will be taking my laptop on vacation, our year trek to Walt Disney World. Be back in three weeks.

Thanks Gene I appreciate the support. This has been really fun to get up and running again. I have a great deal ahead of me. The short will hope to be 5 minutes and so far I have created 4 characters and a handful of props. I have three sets to build, tons of props to go, texture, learn more on each step, etc......

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?

Here is an update. Getting close to painting the bus and calling it done. Got both sides now completed and doors in place. I keep forgetting how little time the shot of the bus will be on screen.

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.

 

Here are the pics

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

Help

 

What is the best way to place characters in the bus? To get him into place took me forever and I am still not happy.

 

Also what is the best way to place lights on the bus?

 

Got the wipers on the bus. Got to rig the bus. I hope to see how Mark rigged the trucks
