Thanks for the comps. I consider it my first car because i actually modeled each panel, Iv’e done vehicles but it was always just a cube that id mutilate until it almost looked good. This F1 challenge started me on it and thats what ife got so far. I still have a long way to go but im getting there.

That looks quite cool. It makes me think of the car you’d expect some movie superhero to drive, the way it curves up in the front and the way the top is narrow. It’ll look even cooler textured.

Very cool. Reminds me of an Opel Cadet with an attitude. :smiley: :smiley: :wink: :smiley: :smiley:

Holy crap that’s an impressive first panel modeled car. :o :o

Did you use surface patches or spline modeling?

Superb,

Sonix.

Thank you that means alot coming from an accomplished blender like yourself. well started out with surfaces to get the general layout of each object, then i lowerd the resol down to about 6, converted it to mesh and applied subsurf and did the fine tuning. I still have to do a few more tweaking of the meshes.

Thanks but I’m unaccomplished car blender. Your tips though shall help me well, thankyou!

I’m still working on the wheels, I don’t like the way they turned out. Now I’m working on a seat and some interior.

Thanks for all the comments. :slight_smile:

OK everyone. Here is my terrible attempt to make it look real.

I added seats, texture, changed the front bumper, the back fin.
I am happy with the way the tires ended up. The env map is still not quite right.

Please tell me what you think.

Cool :slight_smile:

Windshield quality does not match the rest of the car. Try an envmap on that too.

it looks nice, but nothing like photoreal.
I wouldn’t actually even try to go that way… but… I would suggest, that you try to fit it into a photo environment. that I think is the best way to see how photoreal you can render it…

yeah photorealism is extremely hard to do. you also need to add photograin and detalil, detail, detail…

but still, it looks very good :smiley: …
