shadow -- the hover car

Artwork Finished Projects

hey opensourceblenderheads :smiley:
maybe you know that i’m working on “Journey to the Center of Earth” all the time. sometimes it happens that i need a rest from all the EC stuff… so there’s no better way to do some random blending.

i modeled a future- style hover car… messed around with it, created materials, deleted them, created new ones, deleted them again, made a short movie with it, found out that it sucked, made new materials, deleted them again… finally i realized that the modeling came out best without complicated materials. :wink: here’s the final image:

any comments?
pleeze no suggestions… i dont wanna delete it, make new materials, delete them again, add new light, re-render it, lose it on my hd, search it, dont find it, re-model and render it again…
:stuck_out_tongue:

if you’re interested in the crappy textured version:

Hey man! I finally got to see the anim here at home. I would definitely say that those textures did not do it justice.

I still like the blue and white version, but hey, it’s your model :wink:

Did you run a radiosity solution on it as well? If so, would be nice to see.

Great model, as I already told ya! :o

I agree with everyone else, thats a great model, and the GI really brings out the details nicely.

I’m curious as to how you did the clouds in the first shot of the animation, they look really cool.

it looks like a giant, flying, SHOE!

the textures could use a lot of help. Nice model overall.

thx for the comments so far :smiley:

it’s done with a plane and a wave effect on it, the texture is a regular cloud tex which is linked to a moving empty [or animated offset values, doesnt matter] alpha is switched on and i lit it from the back with a halo spot…

well… didnt you read my post? :stuck_out_tongue:

uhm… then you might wear some real strange shoes :stuck_out_tongue:
about the textures… i think it’s impossible to make perfect textures for this model without losing too much of the modeled features of it. that’s why i kept it untextured in the final version.
