KITT - Pontiac Firebird Trans Am

[Darkwing]

So figured I'd add to my plethora of projects, my first attempt at modeling a car! Now I have horrible car sense to begin with and know next to nothing about cars. Despite that however, there is one car in particular that is definitely the coolest car ever. At least in my puny sense of car stuffs.

 

So, I give you the beginnings of my model, the car of the future...can you guess what it is?

Looks like K.I.T.T to me.

[Darkwing]

Yup, it indeed be KITT!

 

And here's some more to finish off the knight (get it?). One thing though, why is my Shaded-Wireframe render rendering the wireframe of the lights and not only that, like creating a bunch of lines that are just going through stuff?

 

[Darkwing]

And some more! I'm definitely open to C&C on this one as like I said, I've never built a car before!

 

[Wildsided]

Well I know i'm liking it so far. Once all the panels are done and you smooth em out it's gonna look sweeeeeet. What are you thinking for the red lights at the front? Animated Decal or a bunch of lights turning on and off in sequence maybe.

[Darkwing]

That's actually where I'm working now. It's going to be a combination of material driven objects and and actually light done all up in an action to be dropped on the model whenever needed.

 

EDIT: Apparently this model is already at the maximum amount of patches that my laptop will handle (about 2600) so time to break it up into separate models!

Here's a quick look at the scanner area. Still some tweaks needed I can see

 

[Wildsided]

love it dude. just need to track down that shooom shooom shooom sound effect for when it's strobing.

[Darkwing]

Thanks! Glad you're liking it!

And this is the last render for today. Probably not gonna get so much done on it after today as I have to start prepping for finals grr

 

[Darkwing]

I wasn't happy with the body, so I've started to remodel it and the new mesh for it is significantly cleaner and therefore sleeker.

 

[Darkwing]

And working on the front some now. This section seems to really help add that 3-dimensionality to the model

 

[Darkwing]

And final render for the day!
