Another concept car

The model looks great. Is the model incomplete as I find the doors missing? Will you later add some wheel tracks to the sand?

Thanks Shay! :slight_smile:

And yes, the model is incomplete. This is an old aborted project, so it is unlikely that I will add doors or tracks in the sand. Maybe some time in the distant future, but don’t hold your breath.

wow, that looks great.

how do you do the sketches? draw on paper, then rework with mouse in photoshop/corel/gimp/inkscape/whatever?

or do you use a tablet or a tablet pc?

The sketches for this car was made in inkscape, but usually I don’t sketch at all. I just have a vague idea when I start modeling and lets it evolve as I go along.

I draw quite a lot with a wacom board and gimp, but I rarely use those drawings to do 3D work.

The car looks like a mix between a mustang and a porsche 911. Nice job on it.

Thanks. :slight_smile: But I was aiming more for the look of an old Buick

yes . a door will add allot , and separate window for the door will add details to the reflation in close view

i think a hole for the air before the rear wheel will be nice
i edit your image so u know what i mean (hope its ok)

I like very much the design of this car :yes:

Thanks Rogper!

Where did all this interest come from all of a sudden? :confused:

Now I almost feel obliged to keep working on it.

I’ve been doodling a little with car design again tonight. I have discovered that it is much easier to draw a car since you usually only draw one angle. I managed to get the top view pretty good. The three quarter view is ok, front view has problems, and sideview is just bad.

Added about a quarter to the height
Wheel arcs
windows
moved the wheels closer to the center of the car
moved a lot of verts in the back part

Major rework of the side of the car
Added temporary rims
General polishing

Lots of small changes. The most visible is increased slope on the front.

Still not pleased with the side view, but it’s better than it was.

I hope I don’t bore you with this project.

hi looks like a great progress ,
and it looks weird from side view , ןi think the engine dude (hood ?) is to low
maybe when u add some details ,like door ,door handle etc ,it will look better

this is not the same car from the same post ?

wow, must be hard.
whats the car called?

I think part of the sideview problem is that I rendered it in ortographic mode.

Here’s a perspective render of the side view:

Do you still think the hood needs to be changed? Don’t hesitate to do a paintover if you think you see how it can be made better. :slight_smile:

I’m holding off with the details till I’m satisfied with the basic shape.

edit: No, it’s not the same car that I started the thread with. That car is too difficult, I need something easier to practise on first.

Good question. :slight_smile: How about “Mazui M2”, where M2 is short for ‘model number 2’?

the hood still look weird to me .
from this view i can hardly see the the bump shape on the hood . this what make it special

the part of the hood that is close to the front window is to long . (or losing shape there)
and its look that is not following the lines of the front side (70% of the front side) of the hood

hope u understands what i meant
see attached image

and i think you should call the car
MAGNIV (cool in hebrew) :slight_smile:

I’ve been working on the hood. You’re right that it needs some change, but when I try to do what I think you mean, it makes the car rather flamboyant. Flamboyant would be a-ok in the first car, but what I’m trying to do with this one is more discreet elegance.

The name is good though. From now on this car is the Magniv 2, from Mazui Motors Inc. :slight_smile:
The Magniv 1 is the first unfinished prototype.

i am sure you will made a good changes . i am waiting to see them

good to know that you like the nick “magniv”
if u want another word to translate don’t hesitate and ask :slight_smile:
