Hey guys,
I’m slowly starting to write/create an animated short movie that will be called “Escape Velocity” (let say it’s a working title for now…)
I’m not saying much for now, but it will include somekind of dragster car and a sci-fi race-track and other crazy environnement.
Here’s what I started yesterday night,
That is really cool looking, makes me look forward to seeing more from this project.
Damn that is awesome! Only thing I don’t like is the exhaust pipes there on the side, they seem like they’d blow smoke into the driver.
Wow wow wow !! This is gonna be awesome!!
well been a while, but the project still goes on in my head :spin:
started texturing the thing. Very basic at the moment
More to come…as it comes…really don’t know how long this project will take haha.
ps: might be a bit dark depending on your monitor setting (or mine actually)…I’ll try getting a better update soon.
Looks good. How many polys?
sweet!
is this animated short related to your boat model in any way?
Maybe that keeps him alert :yes::eek::spin: or gives him that nice pleasant gasoline smell and burns
hi
It’s very nice, as always ;). The design is really inspiring and interesting.
Good work, bravo 
I see the plan!
Keep at least one MontageStudio WIP on the first page at all times!
now you’re rumbled! 
Still looking very nice though, I really like the texturing on the suspension, the inner section on the rear wheel looks a bit plain though.
Dang, this thing is ready for the F1 like months ahead of time! :eyebrowlift:
Or late by a few…
JK.
I rather like the colour scheme in progress - I don’t use purple that much but that thing looks mean.
Here’s what I started yesterday night,
huh? all those modeling in a night? whoah! that’s what i call speedmodeling! 
You should see this guy model live, it’s crazy!

@mr_bomb: oh! i’d be very much willing to learn from him! have any link to his videotutorials?
I said that as I’ve watched him model live at the Montreal Blender Conference. However, you can check out a timelapse of his on our Montage Studio channel here:

thanks for the comments everyone
probably will have an update by tomorrow.
Jeepster, nop this is completly different.
about the polies, hmm didn’t check but a few hundred thousands…mostly because of the subsurf on the wheels. the threads and inner section takes a bunch of polies :o
the model itself is quite ‘low poly’ is we don’t take subsurf into account.
no pipes. go electric. the pipes ruin the flow, imho.
Keep the pipes, change the texture - the original colour looks nice - how about a brushed or burnished aluminium look?
not much of an update, more like I did test, and ended up doing a render:
Still need to fix the front suspension model&texture, redo the texturing with some cleaner flames (or at least, better positionning of the texture on the unwrap) and cook some a scene for a promotionnal poster
