THE NEW BEETLE (+ new renders)

Artwork Finished Projects
1

Hello fellas :smiley:

This is my latest model, I always wanted to make a Beetle, so this is the one.
I have totally remodelled this twice, and now I ve got it right this time by modelling separately all parts instead of cutting and sculpting 1 mesh (which I first did).

Rendered in Yafray v0.8

I am trying with different paint jobs on this one and I am happy with the results,

I can’t see anything wrong with it, could you post another view, preferably lower to the ground?

thanks MrMuscly, the_one,PandaChamp for the comments.
the red image as I said was a previous one so, it had a few caustic errors in it. And yes I am planning to make an animation from this model a nice path animation with a twist :wink: it will be usefull for my demo reel.

Well I was rendering yesterday night and I did it in different angles and in different colours

Nice car there, It seems to me like car modelling in Blender is going up, more and more of nice highpoly cars is coming every day…

Only crit is about your carpaint, try to change it to less reflective and less metallic…

There are some errors int he mesh though but overall I think is OK, and better!
Keep it up! :smiley:

Red one looks the best to me.

Crits:

  • car paint is too reflective
  • those flares looked nice… 5 years ago. :stuck_out_tongue:

hey thanks MassTA, and scw for your comments. I kinda reduced the paint reflection in the later renders, is that a lot as well ?

btw :smiley: I got a lil carried away with the flares and I knew a comment was coming but flares are still good (I am a flare fan). I ve kept the flare where it looks great, on the green one only.

How long do the images take up to render?
