Well, I made a pretty little car shader for cycles. the others look good, but they have like 4 different colors to change, so I made one in the same style except you only have to change one color. real nice
thanks for the crits chop_suey. I think have of my problem when modelling this so far, was that in my reference images, I had two different versions of the car. before it was mainly like a BMW328i. My goal is a BMW 335i. Here are some updated stuffs:
thanks for the comment Quandtum!
here is a bit better render. these are from Saturday, but I was really busy, so only had time to render them. it took a bit over an hour, well, this one did. I was running out of the house and thought, well, why don’t I start rendering this. when I came back, it should have been done, but it said, tiles rendering 3/56 WHAT THE HECK! then I looked under the settings, and the resolution was set to 200%
oh, I forgot to mention, on the lexus, I tried using a normal map to make some of the cuts and details, and it works pretty well for most angles. Here is another render from a different angle which shows the downsides of the normal map.
As you can probably tell, these renders aren’t coming out the best, so I was wondering if it was my modelling or texturing that wasn’t up to par. I was guessing that it is both. So I decided to take some of the cars I made, and put them in good scenes that other people had made, and vice versa putting their cars in my scenes and seeing how they would turn out. here are three of my cars in other scenes from blend-swap and such
Chevy Camaro - Mike Pan cycles demo scene
here is a nicer render of the BMW. I redid the lights… still doesn’t look quite right… the whole car doesn’t look quite right… maybe it’s right below the door that needs work… Sorry, just noticing these things now
Nice thread man , all those cars you must have a big garage
The CLA needs some more fixing , but you did the front grills thats looking tight and the front lights.
On the CLA project you can get more references from a mercedes forum (i dont remember the name)
Many work but acctualy non of those car is modeled good i mean c’mone there is so much wrong proportions in CLA or dodge you have still a lot of tweaking and work to do!
yes, tweaking, where art goes from bad to good…
Right now I am trying to finish up the charger and then BMW with the other cars following after that. Kramon, would you please bit a bit more specific on where the cars aren’t quite right? that would help me a lot.
