Aston Martin DB7 Vantage blueprint

[NightEye]

This might be an unusual WIP, but anyways...
Been working on making prints for a DB7 Vantage.. Measuring off my scalemodel, reference from highresautoimages, and ofcourse... LW
I don't know yet how I will render prints from it, but I will see



[size=9px]Accuracy estimated at around 97%.[/size]

[Jintonic]

We need em.

after you've created the splines, create a copy, and create a surface from the copied spline-object (like surface modifier in 3dsmax, i'm sure it's possible in LW, and you'll need to add some lines), and scale the surface 99% so you'll see the spline from the first object over the created surface, that should be completely white to look like a normal blueprint. the second object is created to hide the rearbumperspline-lines when you look from the front.

after that, make copies of the spline and surface that represent front/back/top/side(/half-through), and move and rotate them, so it looks like an ordinary blueprint. then, render it, with of course, visible splinelines.

have fun, wes

its looking good pal it just gets my head in a spin thinking how you lot can do 3d cars how long as it taken you to get this far with this car????

[NightEye]

NoZ, not yet

@Cav: I've been working just some hours on it.. In total maybe 3 :roll:

[cav]

hock: 3 hours
how do you draw your lines as ive seen them on tuts loads but dont know how to do them and is this how you always do you cars ?how long you you been useing the programe? sorry for all the "hows" but just so keen on finding out how to make cars in the 3d world

[NightEye]

No problem

These lines are splines, you can just place some controlpoints, and.. well, just play with them
This is not for modeling.. Since that requires a different placing of the splines I think.. This is just for making a print I work poly for poly (polymodeling) on the models I make.
Using this programme (Lightwave 7.0) for.. about 8 months I think, and modeling for about 2 years now

Nice start. Nice to see something different. Good luck man.

[Le Bucheron]

nice idea , and teh most important is that your print will 100% match
im sure there will be a batch of db7 in teh WIP after you will finish lol

[NightEye]

Hehe yeah atleast I hope so

No Rhino, this is Lightwave

As for updates.. Just some small details (doorhandles, blinker, some more ref lines), but I need to work on the front which is really tricky. But I will see what I can do

[Bjolletts]

Nice going Looks cool, good luck with the front
