F1 Challenge W.I.P.

I’ve started working on a F1 vehicle for the F1 Competition. Here’s what I have so far…

Speculations:

Ve: 1890
Fa: 1957
Hours: 4

To do:

  • Engine
  • Wheel
  • Jet Propellers
  • Cockpit
  • Braces
  • Texture

I’ve updated some things. Added wheel brace.

Ve: 2322
Fa: 2470
Hours: 5

I’ve noticed a slight problem in the matter of actually entering the vehicle… should I add in this ladder, or leave it as is?

Attachments


Model looks good, I would keep the ladder, but I think the overall proportions might need tweaking. The car looks Huge based on the cockpit size, and the ladder. I think the seat cushion might be too thick as well.

Looks great so far! I would adjust the ‘box’ that the cockpit is inside so its a little less boxy, but i’m not too experienced so i wouldn’t know how it would turn out.

Well, I’ve added two Jets(incomplete) and a wheel(incomplete). Adjusted cockpit sit, and adjust some other things as well. By the way, I’m not using subsurf modifier at all for this mesh. Everything is either “Set Smooth” or “Set Solid”. Which explains for the low poly count.

Speculations:

Fa: 4010
Ve: 3870
Hours: 7

i could imagine this in an animation as a super-tank flying down city streets and blowing buildings up into smoke with gigantic plasma cannons…but then again, i get these sort of bursts in imagination a lot…
It looks really good to me, though a lot of the modes i see look really good to me :stuck_out_tongue:

These are all the pieces to my F1 in wire-frame and Solid/Smooth. Modelling is about 10% done. Lots of details to be done.

I’ve started an engine, and added the exhaust pipes. All that’s left is braces everywhere to keep everything together, detailing, and texturing.

Attachments


one quick question, is the engine visible?

No, not inless you “pop” the hood. Here are with hood and without hood images of the engine.

Attachments



A subsurf render… took forever to render, which is why I dislike subsurfing. Modelling is about 20% complete.

Attachments


I’ve started to experiment with some colors. I’m going to try “Black and Yellow” for now, then “White and Blue” - and in the final… it will be beautiful.

Attachments


Love it specially with those colors! Looks like one of those Lego vehicle :slight_smile:

Looking good, if not a bit clunky for an F1 car.

It reminds me of an F-Zero X car. :slight_smile:
The little thrusters on the front look too weak to hold up the seemingly heavy weight.

Did some work on the back wheel and added something details… Also, I’ve been experimenting with materials. I want this thing to look glossy and futuristic. Modelling is about 25% done.

Here’s another render except now you can see what the cockpit window will actually look like…

Attachments


I’ve added some springs…
