Midpoly Vehicle Contest - Alfa Romeo 159

[AandreiI]

Even though i could model it in max, i`m going to model it with good old zmod .

looks like a good start
i think zmodeler is very good for midpoly meshes, maybe even better than max

If you are also planning on doing an interior and/or engine (you should) then i think you could lose some polygon rows.

[AandreiI]

some more polies added to the front. decided to use less polies on the bonnet as it isn`t as curvy as the fender and it would be pointless to waste polies there.

Yeah buddy! I like that! Keep the ZMod alive!

well i won`t be using that many all round, only where they are neede and the fender looked bad with less. i tried with fewer polies and added till it looked good...

zmod is alive and kicking

added a pic of the current progress with some cylinders in the place of the headlights, it just looks a tad weird without them.

you should move some of your hood vertices to the front
anyway, this looks fine

i have already deleted 2 rows of polies from the fender, and could you be more specific on the other problem...?

[Silent][Moebius]

andrei check out my attachment

revelli meant the lines in green, moove them more forward, so your hood will get rounder.

check out the black line i painted, imo that extra poly row you have is very pointless, because if you have them or not, you will not notice a difference

other than that it looks very nice

[AandreiI]

well i`ll surely fix the bonnet, but i added that row of polies for a reason: that part is not sharp and i wanted to get good and smooth reflections.

thanx for the tips :roll:

hey mate...

hard to find andrei´s around the world! =P

good work on the alfa, and I agree with what people say, you shoud increase loops there..

otherwise you would get smoth problems on future...with chamfers...

maybe you could pull a loop of edges from that badge bump on the hood middle...

double post...

[Bumper3D]

Looks good!
The rear light shape could use some adjustment, but overall the car seems to be pretty nice and accurate! Didn't have any super-close inspection, just pointing out what looked weird to me.





The green line is there only because it isn't smooth.

In fact... Even the drawing is a bit incorrect. The end of the rear light, which is closer to the center, is too tall... You might wanna lower it a bit.

And all my suggestions were based on THIS photo.

[AandreiI]

thanx man, will get right to fixing that...

[Chris]

hey m8 ive made some pics of my dads 159 a few days ago and olso took a pic of the rear light

shows the shape clearly

maybe a bit dark but just adjust brighnes in photoshop r something

[Zinni]

Very nice polyflow! But on that rear edge, there are some things, that could be fixed/done better.
I pointed out some things. Hope i can help you a bit!
