Anything and Everything Automotive

That´s Audi A6 allroad quattro, or something similar, quite common car here in europe :slight_smile: That commercial is nice, would be nice to see something like that done in blender.

There is one quite popular for Toyota :smiley:

…um, okay…I’m pretty sure I know why that one was popular, and…well TBH I rather dislike that kind of advertising :expressionless: (Also, I think posting that vid wouldn’t be allowed by the forum rules - maybe putting a warning above it? Just saying)

Aaanyway, back on track - I just started watching “new” episodes of Top Gear series 16 (new on Netflix), and…I really love Top Gear :smiley: I’m watching the Middle East Special, and they’re being hilariously ridiculous again. I’m laughing my head off :stuck_out_tongue: James May had a nasty head injury as well, but he seems to be fine now.

Oh yes Top Gear :slight_smile: My favourite is the JC’s Powered Up movie, could watch it all day long…
I still can’t find a better automotive show on this planet, maybe Drive on youtube is one of the best, serious ones - where they do serious reviews, but Top Gear has to be the best show :slight_smile:

BUMP (this thread has really stiff suspension…)

Found some stuff that might be of interest :stuck_out_tongue: First, a show from the early-to-mid 90s that I used to watch all the time as a kid - and I found the episode where they explore the internal combustion engine:

…beware of peanut butter :evilgrin: Also, if you look at the comments, people are posting funny comments about the engine itself - one cylinder in a bus!

Aaand, I also found some of my old Hot Wheels in a box the other day. They are now parked on my desk:


lol 22min spent watching this… sigh i got work to do…

Lol, I could say “22 minutes well wasted”, but you can’t actually waste time watching the awesomeness of The Magic School Bus :stuck_out_tongue:

What I always wondered is, if the bus already has the standard(ish) components of a regular small bus, where in the word do the mesmerglobber, shrinkerscope and all the other weird gizmos fit in? The bonnet of a car is always jam-packed with piping and cables and whatnot, it’s not like there’s a lot of space left :wink:

…unless…it was bigger on the inside? :wink: TARDIS bonnet!

or it has a form of localized spacial compression. but who knows :smiley:

as for me, im not too big on cars. but, i think one favorite would be:

A jaguar XKE :smiley:


New McLaren P1… thoughts guys?

I´m sure it is going to be a hell of a fast car…

Naturally. And with a price to match, or likely exceed.

You need to model it real quick so we can see it at a higher res /nod.

I was actually just looking at that on Facebook, TopGear posted about it…along with the Ferrari F12 and something about Leonardo DiCaprio and cars.
However my internet dropped out before I could actually finish reading the three articles, but I’ll see if I can dig up some pics :wink:

Looks epic, that’s for sure :yes:

@J.F.Robot - Nice one! Any other faves?

A shot of the Ferrari F12. The “Make Awesome Render” button, now on wheels :evilgrin:

Along with the articles I’m half-reading while doing other things:

http://www.topgear.com/uk/car-news/top-gear-meets-leonardo-dicaprio-2012-09-20 (haven’t yet started reading this one)

Model it real quick? Not my style lol :smiley:

@Phillippe: The attachment is not working :confused:

I know it’s not showing up here (although it was not too long ago), but if you click on it you can see it in a new tab. I’ll double-check anyway though, and see if I can fix it.

EDIT - There we go; the new system is a bit odd :wink:

:eek: Is that a render?

Nah :stuck_out_tongue: I just called it the Make-Awesome-Render-button-on-wheels because it’s a Ferrari F12 :stuck_out_tongue: Dumb joke, I know…

>.>
<.<
…although now I look at it, it could be a render…

Oh… I get it now :smiley: dumb me… IMO that is just too awesome to be a render…

Maybe a Spam, but I just wanted to share some of my favourite videos :o

Haha, that third video, with the guy doing the sounds…hilarious :smiley: And the weed-trimmer, lol!

Has anyone on here tried modelling cars according to photos? With photomodeller, or whatever programs…

Hmm, I’ll have to look into that, miskolciart, sounds interesting :yes:

Saw one of these parked on the street earlier, though it was blue:
