Cut and shut VW Beetle. (Now with Rocket engine.)

sonix · May 26, 2003, 12:39pm

Hi all, —EDIT check my posts below for new renders EDIT—

This is a VW Beetle that I have modified. The original model is a free download by blend.polis for Blender, I take this oportunity to thank the creator.

The creator is Elysiun’s own:- ‘pafurijaz’. Thankyou.

This is the original render before I started working on it:-

And a wireframe version:-

Noticeable changes I have implemented are; New chromaflare metalic paint, wide arch body kit, soft top conversion with 6 inch height reduction. Rear and front spoilers added and front bonnet air intake. 6 inch ground clearance reduction. Neon hover under-lights also added, thanks to the people who helped me with this little problem.

Modeled and rendered using Blender. Small amount of post in Photoshop. (Grain and titles.)

Thanks for viewing,

Sonix.

are you russian? another thing: he didnt model it, if you want to give advice about the correctness of the design, contact the dude that actually modeled the car in the first place…cant remember his fucking name but who gives.

sonix, you lusty fag, thats a nice pink ghey fucker car!! lov the convertible design, but the air intakeat the front needs some work, its all fucked up. :Z

Bone · May 27, 2003, 1:37am

Ehmmmm.

I’m Russian but all my life live’d in latvia
I know that it is just a mod. I downloaded a beatle model, no comments to author, it’s exacly what he wanted to show it (IMHO).
I realy like this one. Here is not more then one hour work, anyway
this guy have a good style, love it.

Bone, thanks for the comments, I’m glad you like my work. There are probably a 1000 renders of this model already online because it’s a freely available model.

I certainly didn’t create this from scratch, I have just modified it here and there.

Blendermax, thanks, I think. It’s purple cromaflare paint with a yellow flip colour, maybe your monitor’s showing it as pink.

A couple more renders from a little online comp at threedy.com.

Phase 2:-

And just for you wire frame lovers:-

Thanks for looking, any more C&C?

Great! Very nice texturing here.

No matter who modelled it (and he should be thanked and congratulated).

arnaud0, the read me file that comes with the model doesn’t say who the creator is. Full respect to that person though for suh a fine Blender model.

So if press the space bar and select Mesh and Cube and then go on to make it the best cube in the world you derserve some credit.
Well done Sonix.

great! i luv the car. the neon lower lights rock! very real design, looks awesome, could u do another black converitble one, but with a more sober design than the purple one.

bmax · May 28, 2003, 3:19am

i welcome you my brother…well not really…but close enough…im from poland…

pafurijaz · May 28, 2003, 11:31pm

Hello. I am happy for being useful. It is not badly the modification of the car. A question for bone: You have made the rendering with Yafray.

sonix · May 29, 2003, 1:59am

(3 images will appear below.)
Here’s one I prepared earlier:-

And this is the last render of this little car, with the rocket engine modification:-

Next project is a rocket fueled UPS drag racing truck. Built from scratch.

Thanks for looking, and a huge thankyou to everybody who has taken time to comment,

Sonix.

Oh my! Now that’s a rocket engine! The single most unlikely word to use here is “subtle”…

Very cool overall thing!
