Check my kinda-futuristic 4x4 car! (?)

Hi, this is an early wip for a futuristic 4x4 car i am working on. It is supposed to be a drone car to explore dangerous not-human ready landscapes, or something like that. It will have all the instruments it needs and the features later. Right now this is what i got after elaborating for 30 min an old model i did last year.

note: it is all blender, no external renderers involved. No italians were wounded during the modelling :stuck_out_tongue:

edit 1: added a slightly different version. It’s still an early model/scene.

edit 2: added another version with little changes (mainly not too visible ones). It’s still quite an early model/scene. I feel all this is repeating itself. A bug in the matrix?

edit 3: this is the last editing in the wip section, even if i still have a lot to do on the car. I will post the finished one in the finished works section:

You’ve got an exceelent model going so far, but one question…if its a drone care why does it have windows?

mmm it has windows cos it will be driven by some nanotech gnomes i guess, it looks pretty obvious!!! :stuck_out_tongue:

anyway the real reason is that i did the body car without having the drone in mind, so i added windows and now i am too lazy to get rid of them… i will decide later what to do, though i think they look nice so i will probably keep them!

emm

looks like a lamborghini with monster truck weels :smiley:

nice texture on the wheels and nice lightning. if you put some more elements in the car it will look great.

PS: if you dont want to remove the windows, just paint it black

just keep it going! :slight_smile:

Awesome. The headlight texture is great, looks perfect.

The tires seem to plasticy, maybe drop the hard and spec a bit?

wow the bump map on the wheels looks good and i like the evemap on the body of the 4 x 4.

Great image! My only crit (which is really just a result of personal preference) is that the tire spec is a little too high. I think it would look cool if they were more rubber looking…

Nice :slight_smile:

Ruff rider? where is the suspention :smiley: The axel looks way too solid. How about some swing arms and stuff like brake disks etc. brakes, yeah, they are a grea feature to have on a car :wink:

I love the concept though, a racing monster truck, and the body is really cool, does it come in red?

ehehe, the current version has brakes and yes, it comes in red too! – talking about suspensions : they are into the yellob boxes over the front axel – and looking athe the wips you can see the last 3 ones have an axel with a smaller section – anyway i changed it again in the current version (it’s some kind of f1 one right now, but bigger) –

thanks for the crits!
