Damn beautiful, everything lines up so perfect, how long have you been making stuff like this?
Can I see the wires now you have made in those little parking sensors I want to see how you did that so good, thanks. Dont forget to cut the door out;)

good job

thx, it’s my 5th or 6th car i think (the first ones were pretty pathetic so i’ve posted only 2 so far, links in my signature), but i havent really finished any car yet… hopefully ill finish this one :wink:

about the wires, it depends which sensor, but it’s more or less like this:

the one on the right was the hardest because even without the sensor, the modelling was quite hard, so the wire is a bit more complex than usual.

Wow great work! I have started several car projects, but always end up abandoning them because I just can’t seem to keep the mesh clean…it always ends up having slightly irregular bumps/countours that I can’t seem to get rid of by moving vertices around one by one. I always come close but with a shiny car paint material the irregularities still show. I still haven’t figured out how to keep the surfaces clean, any hints/tips?
Thanks
Dan

nice wires.

just noticed- on the last render you had (of the rear)- near the botom left corner of the left rear light:p the two panels do not line up quite right.

exactly like me, could you please check out my ferrari(in my signature) thanks.

Great work. I’m going to keep my eye on this one. I really hope you finish this!

havent posted anything in a long time…
made the rim today to remind myself that the car wants to be modeled :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Beautiful…

I just started to model the R8 recently, as my first car(I picked a hell of a car to start with ;)) and this thread has already helped a lot.

Keep up it!

Very coll! They are curvy and edgy at the same time, very hard to model and I can’t see any imperfection… awesome work Kroni :wink:

a lot of cars have wheels that have some arrangement to fill the pneumatic tubes with air. Unfortunately, none of the cars models i have done have them. And that is what sets an artist with an eye for detail apart. I just saw that little nozzle in your wheel and realized how closely i need to replicate reality before being considered a good artist. Great work there kroni. Although i will probably never model a car as detailed as ROGPER’s GT (or fish’s cobra), u guys have nonetheless been a big influence on the way i approach detail. too much of a rant? sorry i got carried away…nice work again!

just a quick update
redesigned the studio, played with a tire material … still cant decide if i should make a slight tire thread like this or leave slicks

Really nice going kroni! Your model is very clean and looks spot on to me. About the tire threads i think that you should go for some kind of threads.
The tire material is very nice if youre going for a studio render, but if you are considering making a background with a smaller environment or so i would go for a little different type of material.

now that’s brilliant stuff going on…just when i thought i was beginning to make decent cars, along came people like you and rogper…man i gotta push myself.

Modelled the front brake, unfortunatelly the rear one is different :frowning:

What an awesome model! The level of detail you’ve got going on is amazing.

Hey,

Awesome work, I’m speechless, I’m without speech!

It is clear that you have some modeling experience:yes:.
I still need to work on my skills…

Keep on the great work!

Great work and nice render Kroni :wink:

This is beautiful. Keep it up!

Man you have some amazing modeling skills! I can’t wait to see this finished with some nice materials/textures. Keep up the awesome work!

thx for all the comments :slight_smile:
another small update… fixed the door profile, doors are now cut out :slight_smile: and some other fixes…
