Real World Racer: DC Shoes Impreza - Scratch Made Cars

Duzze · #1 (**permalink**) 07-07-2009

I havent been modeling for some time now but when i saw this contest i immediately thought of some sick hot hatches, from some race spec grande punto over the golf VI gti and ultimately the subaru Ken Block drives. I havent started anything yet cuz i dont have as much time as i would like to have for this.

Nice Car! Do you already have blueprints for this one?
I was looking for these blueprints but never found one.

Good Luck with your car!

It's as nice as a new-generation Impreza can be

But the exhaust line is really cool.

Good luck for the contest !

ok not much but i've finished the rims, its the volk te37, they still need that crazy yellow-green spoke. i'm not sure about the rubber though. Ive also been working on the fenders but i'm not comfortable in showing them at this time.
Thanx guys

ive made some progress but there still a lot more to be done. im aware of the dent on the front bumper but i dont have much time to fix it

Doesnt look half bad apart from the dent! Keep it up, im totally waiting to see this one finished

This is turning up to be more difficult than i expected, spent days on that side vent and fender, needs a bit more work but i think i got it right now. Im already thinking of a scene, maybe the docks (as the original)

Looking good, its hard to model a car which is mostly in motion! Do the docks, it would looks fantastic!

Duzze · #9 (**permalink**) 07-15-2009

thanks, its a car that cant go in a straight line

so im going to rotate it a bit to get the feel its going round corners. Anyway, been working all morning and got this far. I want to finish the whole car before splitting the panels. Crits and comments welcome as always

Duzze · #10 (**permalink**) 07-22-2009

shapes are there, now to get to work on the details and bumps/dents. I hope you all like it

Duzze · #11 (**permalink**) 07-27-2009

sorry for not posting for some time, i hope it was worth the wait. still need to do: mirrors, door handles, redo rear lights and add some low detail interior. I also need time to make almost all materials since the ones i had were lost with my old pc. I hope by the end of this week ill be modeling and setting up the docks scene. This is just a studio preview

Oooo. Huge update Duzze. Starting to look very nice man.

Just a small critique here, right now your car's alternate paint color (the silver/gray/white area) are fairly blocky looking. It might look better if you were to go with a color scheme that used only the flared out shapes of the bumpers instead of the entire bumper itself. for example, look at the Subaru Impreza Outback Sport Wagon's silver coloration against its primary body color. It uses an arbitrary curve on the wheel well, which sets apart the silver from the rest of the body color.

Perhaps a paint job similar to this would make your car look less pieced-together. Anyway, keep up the good work.

Its time to hurry up. I had to cut out the vinyls out of panels since i couldnt get the mapping system in Vray to work, it was very tedious work. oh yeah and need some more tweaking on the materials. Ive been making the scene as well but i didnt do any test renders just yet. enjoy

Astr0s · #16 (**permalink**) 08-03-2009

The uvw mapping looks damn good as does the model itself!

Duzze · #17 (**permalink**) 08-05-2009

now its starting to look like the dc shoes impreza, still need decals on the front. the docks scene is almost finished, hopefully next ill be back with some test renders of it. I hope you all like it

salim · #18 (**permalink**) 08-05-2009

Hmm intressting !!

the car looks really good ! could you add some few lights to the render it's a bit dark .

spitty3d · #19 (**permalink**) 08-05-2009

looks good, although model deserves a better render

smoker · #20 (**permalink**) 08-05-2009

Hi Duzze,

Nice modeling you have there. I noticed your surfaces are pretty "dense" ... I'm guessing part of your workflow is rebuilding all the surfaces once you get the correct shape, is that right?

About renders, don’t' know if it’s my monitor, but they look a somewhat "dark". They are very good anyways, good work overall.
