my first wip! a speedboat...

Artwork Works in Progress
1

hi all,

i thought I’d post my first wip: a newbie to blender and yafray so please be gentle!!! Its modelled in blender, exported and rendered with yafray via yablex (using hdri and cached pathlight): unfortunately the website i’m using to host seems to have reduced the quality and resolution a bit…

Apart from finishing the model (and increasing the seat size!), there are a couple of things I’m not sure how to do, and I’d appreciate any thoughts… I’d like to bump map some “ribs” onto the hull of the boat, and also put it in some realistic looking water…

any other thoughts on improving it also appreciated!

cheers

leon

I like it, it looks great. You say your new at this?

It needs one of those nice comfy bench seats along the back of the uhm passenger thing. area. something…

fractal sub-d plane with subsurf looks good for water

for ribbing like that, you’d either have to UV map it in yafray, or model it.

id model it.

seems to be some stretching issues on the front top bit there…
