As I've seen in a Chapman quote in someone signature : "Add power, you'll go faster on straight lines. Remove weight, you'll go faster everywhere."
Here's the time for yet another contest : lightweight cars !
1/ Any car, any country, any brand, any year could enter, if and only if it's known to weight less than 960kg. Here're some ideas for you : Lotus Seven, Caterham CSR, Donkervoort D8, Lotus Elise or Exige, Caparo T1, Ariel Atom, Renault R5...
2/ The contest runs from right now until August, 31rd. One can enter at any moment until the timeline.
3/ Personal work only. No team work.
4/ No multiple work : one can submit only one car as final artwork. Feel free to change car during the timeframe if you want.
5/ Model should scratch made.
6/ No polycount limit, one can enter either low, mid or high poly. NURBs are also allowed. Use any software you can think of.
6bis/ Exterior modeling is required (!) Interior modeling is optionnal.
7/ Bitmap textures use is free. Use any size you want for any detail you can think of. Use procedural textures freely also, as much as you want.
8/ WIP must be shown in WIP forum, with title starting with "Light is right : ".
9/ Scene setup is your choice. Studio, HDRI, modelled environment : you do what you prefer.
10/ Final artwork must consist of two renders and two wireframes. One render to show the front, one render to show rear. The same goes for wireframes.
11/ Final artwork must be posted in this topic before November, 31th at 23:59:59 (11:59:59PM)
12/ Winner will be designated by a poll on the site.
13/ Sorry, but I've no prize to give (I mean, no one of my models is good enough to allow me to pretend give it as a reward
) Enter the contest to enjoy the contest !
