3D models

[SinEclipse]

Well the 350z was my first car model and still learning. The second car is my current project and will be part of a portfolio I am making. These are some new render I did just now and still working on it to get the lighting set up correctly.

The second car is an Audi R8 and is my second car model. I would fix the 350z but I screwed up by smoothing it out and saving it.

I am still new to 3d modeling and learning everything through books and tutorials I can find.

Tell me what you guys think

The 350Z looks like a really good start!
What modeling software are you using? I used to use 3D Studio max a lot, though I never could do cars.. I got pretty decent at low polygon humans though (mostly character modeling for games).

I should had posted the image right to it but wasn't to sure if photobucket was going to make it full size or not. Thanks for posting the pictures directly .

I use Autodesk Maya 8.5 and 2008 to do all my 3d models. For rendering I use Mental Ray with a stage setup that is similar to a real studio set up for cars but still need change a few things for the render setup to get the lighting and shadow correct.

I also know how to use 3d Studio Max but I prefer Maya because it has much more options to work with.

Thanks for all the comment.

Ah, I have used Maya in the past (l before they were owned by Autodesk.. Version 5 or 6) LOVED the work flow.. Though thats about the same time when I got out of 3D Modeling.

Any ways, hope to see progress on these!

the 350 looks really good so far, and the R8 is coming along very nicely. knew what it was before even reading.

how much time do you have into both models so far?

Ever use Cinema 4D before?

The 350z was my first model and first time using Maya at the time and that took about 6.5 hours to get that far. That I can't really do much to any more when it comes to fixing and lining the body better because I did a mesh smooth and saved the work so I can't get back to returning to the original mesh to fix.

The Audi R8 I have put about 3 hours so far. I still need to fix a few bumps that can't be seen on the hood. I will be posting up new progress in the end of this week since I have a few projects I have to finish for school.

This was an Audi S5 I was doing but I lost the file when I had to reformat my computer.

Vprime- Modeling car is pretty simple and in these images you can see the blueprints of the car and the wires. Its basically keeping the polygon flow and in quads so when it comes to smoothing it out it will looks nicer.

Very cool.

A few updates. I got the doors done and parts of the trunk done. Just need to finish up the rear bumper and then start on adding the details to it.

At the same time I am putting this on hold because I am making the brake kit for it and then some rims and tires.

Those are two different render. Mainly trying out new materials and a few light adjustment.

I started this topic doing just a basic model of the Audi R8 and went into more details then I usually do because this will be one of my starter portfolio piece for school. Tell me what you guys think of these few renders. Each of the renders I did were a bit different and a few tweaking and different style for the portfolio. The ones with side mirrors are the most recent renders.

Dam looking good.

 

[Defiant]

Nearly as ugly as the real thing. So, I suppose that's good.

 

[Project2G]

Very nice. And I think they look very nice I like the body design. there's a guy on my block that owns a silver one and it's sexy.

Thanks for the comment. I really like the design of the car and I had a good time modeling this. It is still in progress to fix a few bumps and finish up the headlights since it is still missing a few pieces inside and finish up the inside of the tail lights.

Overall I am happy with the stuff and the way the render came out. I decided my next project after fix this a bit more will be a 1g Eclipse/Talon since I got the blue print of that car.
