Real World Racer : VW Passat B6 Pikes Peak

[Astr0s]

Perhaps its time for an update.. been a while, havent got too much done... meh

[greenvampire]

that looks awsome, I love all the details and that rear wing makes it look evil

[tom120934]

As you said on IRC, indeed the rear wing supports will bend... They are way too thin.

Great concept, it's really terrifying so far. I'm now looking for more body work, to see things fitting together.

[dppd69]

IMHO best concept and realization so far. The design is simply perfect...
You will have my vote !!
Please finish this beauty and render it with a lot of dust going everywhere while climbing

Cheers Dario

Yeah, im on the supports already. Terrifying in a good or a bad way? ;D At times its hard to see the car as a whole, but there are design elements that ive used all over the car

@ dppd69, exactly what my thought for the scene was, ive been looking into it a little already

Edit: got a little little done.. hope the design looks a bit more whole now

Edit2: Iiiiiiiiiiii just couldnt wait any longer not to render it..........

Looked into VW wheel design today, but hardly found any decent rims i could even modify for the Passat.. so i went to the good old BBS, and these struck my eye, since theyre 3-piece, im thinking carbon fibre halves with golden center lock

[Synetearis]

You can hardly go wrong with those on a monster like this!

[Duzze]

great work with the passat and the choice of wheels. I know its like that on these kind of races but i think that rear wing is a bit too big. Good luck

Yeah, perhaps, it looks a bit massive and not only because its curved.. i may redo it

[Krystian]

Imo it's perfect, I really love every polygon of your model, srsly ;D
I'm waiting for the rims.

Hahah, i certainly dont... need to fix quite a few things here and there thanks!

Annnnnd here comes the rims.. rather dense mesh id say XD

[Krystian]

As I said on IRC, they are sweeeet! Now throw some rubber on it

[Astr0s]

Just a quick check how the rims actually look under the car.. not half bad imo

[Stew2000]

Car looks great. something not quite right about the wheels. could just be the no tyre tread. shall wait and see..

[KamikaZ]

Something's bad alright, they're too thin! as racing wheels those should be thicker (I think) than the old RS's -> photo

[Astr0s]

Noted and fixed!

Really insane work dude

Thanks! Was just testing some vray displacements on the rim/tire... mind you, the sidewall is rubbish, going to make my own sidewall & tread for this..

[Stew2000]

Looks great. but what about having them as a metallic blue?

[Astr0s]

Possible, havent really thought of color schemes yet...

Edit: had to render the wheel >_>
