2017 Mazda MX-5 RF

Hey there,

over the few months I modelled this Mazda MX-5 RF, you can follow the thread here: https://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?403560-2015-Mazda-MX-5-Miata

I started off modelling the softtop MX-5, but somwhere in the middle I decided to go for the RF, as it looks cooler in my opinion and the Hardtop was much easier to achieve then the softtop. I also built a full interiour and I have plans to animate the car and do some cool stuff with it.
I’d really like to hear some feedback from you, especially about the materials and the lighting/rendering setup, because this is really the first time I’ve really tried to achieve something good. I hope you like it!

Hi there,

Thank you very much for all the praise :). It really means much to me. But if anyone has some criticism, please write it, I would really like to improve from the point that I’m at right now.

So here are, as promised, some wireframe renders:




I may try a similar render setup as what Dan80 has done with his Corvette. Those renders just look awesome.

Insanely good…thanks for sharing

So cool to see this finished, congrats! Beautiful modeling Scalix!

Hi Scalix, incredible work! I just bought an MX5 2018 and started a similar project using Maya. I never saw this amount of details for this model. Specially the animated roof top:slight_smile: . Honestly I’d like to ask you your project to learn Blender but I understand. Instead I will give my contribution if you need it. I created the texture for the tire based on the real original Potenza tire on my car. Feel free to use it.

beautiful work!
