Concept Sprts car : Second car modelling attempt

[Hellraiser3d]

Heres my concept car. Loosely based on many different cars, maybe u can spot likenesess in some areas

lemme know what u think

C&C always welcome, help me to fix it up

[supra84]

Very nice concept! The only thing that bothers me is the front tires stick out too far from the fender. Other than that everything looks awesome.

[Hawktoey]

Radical design! I agree with supra84 about the front tires.

[Psychotica]

I like it :lol:


Dunno why, but I think the back looks a bit cartoonish :?

[XSImatrix]

Exhuast looks weird to me.. And yea the back is a bit too cartoonish for my taste But overal very nice.

Gotta love that moddelling on the front end.. Gotta love it..

[Hellraiser3d]

it's really round like some/most cars have in those cartoons, it's nothing bad or so.
If u like ur back end this way you sould leave it like this
but I gotta say...the front end is very edgy and the back is so round like that, I don't think it really fits together, but that doesn't make it look bad or something :wink:

Okay let's look at this cartoonish thingy....

Personally I can sort of see it but this is what the car looks to me.

You're driving along in the family car, look in the mirror and what do you see? This car saying I am going to eat you for lunch! A moment later the car passes and you see the ass end smiling at you, as to say Told you so! I like the car, if you like the car keep it the way it is. The comments here are only that comments, no one is saying that there is anything wrong. Most cars have either sharp lines or smooth curves, I think you did one hell of a job putting the two together!

'nough said, let's see more!!!

The curve of the taillights, the rims, and the exhaust pipes are what make it seem "cartoonish" to me. Like someone else said, the 'smiling' just looks odd. The back almost isn't sleek, its bends are too smooth or something. And I've never seen anyone run those rims except in video games and stuff :?

The front looks very furious and awesome

Keep up the great work, I could never invent a car like that!

it looks like a cartoon simply because of the proportions. i doubt anyone can fit in the car, the door doesn't look possible to open. i think if you lengthen the wheelbase to a more realistic proportion (which will help make the width not so extreme) it will help a lot. what you really should do is find a car similar to what you are trying to capture and use the blueprints of that vehicle to guide your cars hard points. the other thing is your renders are from extreme angles with big FOV making the car very dynamic (which is good) but it also blows out the proportions, which gives it a cartoony feel. i dont think its a matter of round or hard shapes, just the proportions of the parts sitting together. a non extreme sideview would be nice to see to check.

most sports cars have 2.5 wheel wells inbetween, about 2 wheels tall, a wheel in front, and a wheel at the rear.

hope this helps.

Thanks, ill work on it a bit and give some different render angles to display the proportions better

My reference car was a corvette 1969 stingray for the basic shape

I see what u guys are saying about the rear being cartoonish now... will improve it! Im gonna change the rims and the exhaust, these are just tempory till i can think of better ones
