Fastback Mustang

[jreitmeier]

I have a bit of experience with this car model. It was my very first attempt at a 3D model. That was a long time ago however, and I've gotten at least a little bit better in my modelling.

So I am this car once again, this time with some prints (a luxury I didn't have the first time around).

I think i may need to make the scallop (or whatever its called) a little less deep, but we'll see how it goes.

asking for more!

[Johnas]

Yeah nice start indeed but show some more progress at next update

[jreitmeier]

Small update before I go to sleep. I work kind of slow, which is why there isn't a huge amount of progress between my updates. Progress is progress though.

Gonna work on it some more tomorrow and hopefully finish up the body.

[Johnas]

Sleep?! The day has just started here (11am)!
If you keep your polystructure like you have now it will look good

[NightEye]

Incredible!!! 8o
Pleaaase convert this to Racer when it's done
Lovely work on one of the loveliest cars ever!

[jreitmeier]

Got the back end mostly done (save for details).

The poly structure around where the roof meets the rear deck is a bit messy, so I may redo that portion. I'll have to see how it looks with normals.


As for converting to Racer; I don't have it, so I don't know how to go about doing that, but when I'm finished if somebody who knows how would like to, I can give them the mesh to do so.

Working on the front end now.

Very tricky getting all the curves and creases looking good. Took me a long while just to get the little dent where the front bumper wraps around to look like it does, and it still looks a bit funky to me. :roll:

[VR6]

Looks nice,so far

[snap]

How many polygons ?

[jreitmeier]

Taking a break from working on the front and did the side vent. Still need to do a little work on it, but it's mostly done.

Poly count so far for the half is 1373. ops:

[jreitmeier]

Got the upper half of the front done. The shape of the headlight bucket is a little off, but it took me last night and most of today to get it the way it is now so I don't plan on changing it too much. :x


Not sure if I'm gonna make the lanyard for the hood pin or not.....

Back to working on the front valence now.

[samthegt3racer]

Wow, dude you are awesome

[Icekid84]

Exceptionaly clean, I like it Nothing more appealing than a well thought out poly structure.

[jreitmeier]

I was gone for most of the day today and didn't get much done.

I got a little bit done on the front valence and got the lanyard for the hood pins done.

[jreitmeier]

Finally got the front about done. I still need to tweal the shape a little and add a few more pieces, but its pretty much there.

Almost time to start working on the little details and whatnot.

[Jintonic]

Cool.
Though I think 2 much polies are wasted, well it will be smooth then.

Keep it up.

[jreitmeier]

Got the front bumper semi-finished. I need to fix the shape of it and the valence and then it's time for the (hope fully easier) back bumper.

It may look like a lot of wasted polies, but I usually go back over the mesh at the end and get rid of unnecessary faces.

[Icekid84]

Wasted Polys? Maybe hehe but smooth true. IS this for any particular game? My mind is very forgetfull so if you said it and I read it then Ive forgoten, but if so, will it have a 3d engine in it? maybe some undercarriage.
