Dodge Challenger - Please give me a little help =)

[bittar]

Hello all, i've been around smcars for a while but this is my first post, and also the first car!
I'm modeling a dodge challenger for my final school project. I choose muscle cars as a theme to this project because it's a subject that i like very much. Well, the objective of the project is to build a site about certain theme [muscle cars in my case], so i'm modeling this car and also a hole garage that will be the site's interface.

I'm modeling it all on lightwave 8 and here is a wip for you guys to crit.


there is a mirroring error near the grill as you can see.. i don't know how to fix that, any thoughts?

thx

dont think i see it but if your using 3d max make sure your layout of the things is correct so it should look sorta like

mesh smooth
symmetry
edit poly

as you can see on my first post, i'm modelling it on lightwave 3d 8

Some Updates!
Made the Tires and some Magnum wheels..
the exterior it's far more detailed than the first post but since my lightwave is crashing when i turn radiosity + AA, i'm noly going to post some clay renders later

it looks realy great bittar, keep up the good work
im glad to se that you are using lightwave 8, then i dont need to feel alone
i like your tire too, can you send me the bumb map for that?

[Hawktoey]

Looks nice! Can't beat old iron! The only comment I have is on the tire, it looks bulky/truck-ish.

Keep up the good work! And hope to see more!

[bittar]

Thanks for your C&C!

KRiS83: It's not a bump map, I actually modelled the whole tread! I used a tutorial to make it.. you can find it here: http://www.lwg3d.org/forums/showthread.php?t=16490


Hawktoey:
The tire still needs some tweaking! By bulky do you mean the tread or the whole design of it?

[Hawktoey]

It's more the tread than anything. But I should tell you, I use to own a 1974 Duster and I put truck tires on it. 10-30-15's mounted on slotted alum rims to be exact and it still looked neat as hell, and went like the dickens in the snow!

another small update just for you guys to see the details i've added..

again no AA because i'm having problems with AA + Radiosity [LW crashes on me ]

[Icekid84]

Are you sure the front bumper is right, yours seems to just go straight accross on the bottom I thought there was some bend to it ( err you'll probably need a picture to see what I mean) I'll post later if needed

Yes i know what you mean.. it bends across the bottom to give room to the licence plate!
I already fix that, thx =)

Here's another update.. i'm building a supercharger that will come out os the hood hole

[Bjolletts]

Nice work ! And really cool supercharger

[bittar]

another update on the supercharger/blower

sorry it isn't rendered images but again, my Layout crashes on me when i try to render..

[bittar]

Menaged to render with AA and radiosity on.. i've lowered the radiosity rays and it works fine now so here's another update for you guys :)

= it has some flaws like at the windshield/rear bumper etc but it's all fixed now and rendering !

it's almost finished now.. i just need some minor tweaks and a hole interior, but i'm working on that!

so, enjoy
