Mercedes SLS AMG Brabus

[raduteo]

Decided to torture my laptop with some "light work" before I carry on with the Blackbird, SLS AMG Brabus, some parts of the Brabus body kit I deemed pointless and lack-taste. Sorry for the jumble of miss-matched screenshots, I'm a bit tired.

Next to come is the interior which is, thankfully, rather simple.

Thanks.

Radu, do you think your laptop can do a clay with GI/AO render ? >D That would be amazing with doors open

Thanks Ex, I'll try however I want to finish all the modeling first, I do plan on doing some renders with the doors up since it's such a major feature of the car. :)

Thank you PBenjamin, when are we going to see another awesome project from you?


As far as progress goes, it's a tad slow but here's the door seal and additional Brabus paraphernalia.

Great modeling skills although i don't like heavy sport cars good to run along a straight line only. The perfection of your modeling is just outstanding thou, thanks for sharing with us

[nerveink]

The Benz is looking amazing man. The wireframe shots are top notch as well!

[Duron]

Awesome! Keep it up

[kriscabrera]

great work man! how many hours r u in? this is all poly modeling right?

[raduteo]

Too many tumbleweeds here, posting some older parts I did awhile back but didnt show, the steeringwheel is missing the stitching channel and other small details and the bump on the buttons is too big but anyway, here's nothing.

Kris: yes, it's all poly so far.

[kriscabrera]

man you have got some great skill keep it up! looking fresh!

[PBenjamim]

Man, so amazing! Maybe a few really small details aren't 100% correct but **** that this is mindblowing. May I ask why do you use zbrush for showing your model? Crappy computer, or...?

Crappy laptop and I like how Zbrush mats look. Can you point out the wrong bits?

Thanks.

Made something quick, don't mind man i'm nitpicking here . If I look at mine it has way more mistakes haha, but I think it's good to watch our mistakes even if we don't correct them. It's good to practice our eye your job so far is awesome, best sls i've seen so far.

[raduteo]

Thanks, will fix those soon, the door surface is quite positive.
As for the headlight tip, it does go up. (http://autoblackzone.com/wp-content/...ht-588x393.jpg)

It takes a fresh eye to spot what I didn't, working on a car after work and with long breaks in between doesn't help with consistency, thanks alot for pointing those out, will fix before going on further.

Yeh, the door curvature is definitely the biggest point. Can't check the light with such a reflective glass. http://www.roogio.com/images/MEC-Des...ht-details.jpg There appears to be a small gap, that's what i was talking about. Not sure about the Brabus version, but on my roadster i gathered alot of headlight references and that's what it looks like to me. Anyway again, this is nitpicking! Yeh indeed, sometimes we just wanna move on and don't notice some small details like these, but for 99.9% of the people it will look like the real thing, I just knew a few weren't quite 100% cause i'm modeling it also. Anyway, keep working man, this is, and will definitely be even more awesome
