More detailing to come. Engine is about 40% complete. Interior needs finishing & the rest of the suspension.

Comments & critisisms welcomed as always,

Cheers.

Sonix.

Great work. I like the engine details!!!

I can’t wait until this is done. I’d like to add this to my gallery of Blender cars.

The 60’s cars are something eh? Meshing all of those weird curves and slim chrome strips and stuff. I know what you are going through. Here’s My 60’s car in Blender. I did this a while ago. I still need to tweak it, do a better background and find time (like 20 hours) to render it at high-Res.

Beautiful.

The only giveaway is the tire.

really nice one! Nice moddeling, much details!
I only don’t like the glass, but you said you will change materials… So… Awsome done till now!
i like the pimpala-ss picture of the name most…

Not had chance to do any more modeling, these were rendered yesterday.

Windshield & tyres to be improved.

Thanks,

Sonix.

Nice… reminds me of GTA San Andreas. :slight_smile:

Can you post the render times?

2hrs for some, 30 mins for others. The last render was composited from several, the longest of which rendered for 8hrs.

Final renders will run between 8-16hrs.

Glad you spotted my GTA influence. :wink:

Sonix.

Just wondering, shouldn’t there be a metal frame around the windshield? Other than that it looks great!

nice work very Grand theft

yeah very nice mood on the pic, very GTA indeed :wink:
but whats going on with the front tire, it looks like its blewn and flattened :eek:

Nice job, I like the attention to detail. what’s the base poly count on the car?:slight_smile:

nice work!the badges and details are a great touch!nice paint too!
