toyota soarer

[wakekeke]

hi!:mrgreen: this is my first post here. It's a Toyota Soarer or Lexus SC, i'm not sure yet. :? I followed YuriyXXX's tutorial. Here's my splinecage after a few hours of work. Comments and suggestions are very welcomed.

ah... that car is pretty rare sight at these forums.

its better to make Toyota version, since that american crappy Laxus version
haves some ugly exterior modification that ruins the looks of whole car

[jumpman]

splines looks really good, i want see polies

[wakekeke]

thanks for the replies guys... I think I'll do the Soarer, not the Lexus SC

here's an update... I did the hood part. Pls. feel free to give comments & tips. Thanks.

im not familiar with this car but it looks like you need to get some of the sharp edges out and smooth it. to do this take some of the polygons out. Look good start though.

[steveee]

Nice start!!!
That pretty nice, good detail

[wakekeke]

i've been able to continue this week due to school break

yeah theres lot of polys... i can't get away with it... i also do that in my previous attempts.

i'm also having problems with several bumps... anyway here it is...

[revelli]

like it, nice details, but you must repair some bumps on the windows and some in back parts

[hartleym]

apart from the obvious bumps I reckon the overall shape is excellent...just fix the bumps and you will have an awesome model.
Good choice of car too

[wakekeke]

did the lights earlier... i'm having trouble w/ some missign parts due to lack of refpics.* i also did my first render. i dont have much knowledge in making materials so i just followed some tutorials.* i really need to improve in this aspect. any advice would be highly appreciated. tnx.

[mpfive]

heyy, nice to c that project up again, lol

[wakekeke]

update:

i'm almost finished w/ the headlights but i really need your help on the materials. how can i make my headlights whiter and clearer because my material loooks black from afar. pls help. i also started with the rims. thank you.

i followed this tutorial by the way

Try removing the checker map from the refraction slot and see if that helps.

Looks good, but needs some adjustments...

Check out the pic I attached... the lines indicated in red are the parts that I think need to be looked at. The top line has too much of a crease, I don't think its that sharp, more smooth.. the middle line doesn't have enough of a crease, it needs a subtle, thin line from the door, then fading out about halfway down the bonnet.. and finally, the lower line down the side; on your model, it looks a bit like this:

In real life, it looks something like this:

Good luck.

i removed the checker map but the when i rendered the checker pattern disappeared completely. But after playing w/ the settings i think i got the mat'l the i wanted. thanx for the suggestion.

to Mystique7

thanx for spotting my errors and the suggestions. i wouldn't have notice them had you not told me. i tweaked the parts you told me and slightly enlarged the round lights at the front.

thanx for the c&c guys! :mrgreen:

[revelli]

i see that you done much improvement to the headlight material
overall it looks good

[-monster-]

One thing making the front lights too dark could be that the glass casts a shadow on the reflector... to prevent this right click the glass, choose properties and turn "cast shadows" off Also the look of the lights would improve a lot if you'd use a selfmade bump map instead of the checker one

[wakekeke]

hello again!

i've been able to do a lot in my wip recently.* i changed the headlight material to vraymaterial to make it look like glass, i also made my own texture for it like -monster- said, i did the signal lights, sunroof, sidemirror and tweaked the front and side part.* i also did the tyres.* i got lots of questions though...

1) how come the reflections on my render looks weird? the left and right side each have different reflections.
2) how do i get rid of the black/darker part on the tyre?
3) how can i make the glass tinted? i don't know much yet about making materials and stuff. most of the materials i used are from the vraymat2.mat file.

thanks a lot in advance.*

[feral1]

coming along very nicely, like the renders. still see a few bumps here and there.
keep it up and you'll be happy you did.
