i usually just start out with a plane on the very front of the hood and work around that. I just textured it red and black like this and it looks freaking sweet

craigsnedeker · October 11, 2008, 4:41pm

just colors, or texture maps?

edit: can I see a wire or mesh?

Jay_Dee_892 · October 11, 2008, 4:51pm

here it is with textures and the wireframe

Oh thats cool!!

Also save it as a .png for super clearness. but that’s great work! I can’t model cars to good. how did you get the shininess?

Jay_Dee_892 · October 11, 2008, 5:01pm

for the shininess…
just make a texture of the color you want and scribble a little bit of white over it in gimp. Then, in Blender, go to the UV Image Editor > Image > Realtime Texture Mapping > Reflection. I think It looks decent and you don’t even need GLSL to do it.

what do you mean scribble?

Jay_Dee_892 · October 11, 2008, 5:52pm

ah, cool. heehee. scribbled. LOL.

I think I will model a really high poly version of this car for the cover of the game.

Jay_Dee_892 · October 12, 2008, 6:58am

Here is some more progress on the Veyron. It is currently 532 poly. I just need to model the engine, wheels, and bottom of the car, then it will be done.

Wow That looks cool!

Jay_Dee_892 · October 12, 2008, 10:36am

Here is a render of the high poly Veyron so far. It’s really hard to model because of all of the seams in the body.

Good work on everything so far!

Jay_Dee_892 · October 13, 2008, 5:09pm

thanks. It kinda sucks how bad the game is running right now. All I have is the car and ground (combined total of 1964 poly) and it is running at 70-90 FPS.
I guess this means I will need to make the landscape flat and low poly

Ace_Dragon · October 13, 2008, 6:20pm

Unfortunately people don’t like totally flat racing games, you can make hills without shooting the polycount through the roof.

Neat! I like it. What kind of landscapes are ypu planning to do?

Jay_Dee_892 · October 15, 2008, 3:45pm

i dont really know. the track that I modeled is an island, but I’m thinking about making an actual racetrack

toastface5 · October 18, 2008, 2:35am

Woah, that’s some nice looking car models I look forward to playing it!

Also, the bugatti veyron looks sweet as! I wish I could model as good as you (I am not very good at modelling at all). Keep up the good work!

Jay_Dee_892 · October 19, 2008, 11:22am

I haven’t been working on it much lately, but here it is so far.

Well, it looks nice, but why not make the game first and then the hi-poly renders after?
