Ford Coupe 1940

[palat]

Hi all,

An old Ford this time.
Popular for customizing in the 60s, but mine is going to be stock.
Polymodeled in Max 5, rendered with VRay.

Thanks for watching!

wow, holy crap nice render, great modelling as usual too . Keep it up.

Are you going to make the engine too?

[-monster-]

Yes, only thing that is missing is a big block engine and maybe a blower... and some big fat back tires

[Johnas]

It's good to see stock version also

Brilliant work

[Pete81]

I love that paint

[brunoqs]

Dude im a huge fan of your work , i remember when i saw the Opala at 3donline.com.br , and than the others cars at your own homepage. No words to describe your work , just fantastic and inspiring =]

Beautiful model, beautiful renders, beautiful car I also agree with -monster-, so please can you do a tubbed version with a '39 grille

[palat]

Thanks for the replies guys!

The carpaint is a simple Multi-Layer with Falloff in the diffuse and VRay Map on the reflection slot. It renders fine under GI but when i place my usual shadow-casting spot the magic goes away. Anyway later i will render it with hdri.

I have narrowed the bodyshell to correct proportions, did a lot of tweaking on the fenders and the front and added some chromework.

As for a street rod version, maybe later i will work on it. Stock comes first.

very beautiful looking model.

...that car would be such good base for some B/GS Gasser :twisted:

[-monster-]

Gorgeous... Would be cool to see you doing a rodded version of it too

[palat]

Thanks Zachary and -monster-

Small update on the front. Grille was done with bumpmaps.

Well that saves some polies, looks good though
And of course the rest looks fabulous too. Love the color suits well on this car

[palat]

Actually i did try modeling it but the result was very lame, esp. the side vents, so i just mapped them. The bumpmap is a simple black and white map on the bump and opacity slots.

They look very good tho, didn't even realise they were mapped until i read your post 8o

Please do mention as that is what forums are for. I am trying to get as good a model as possible and any crit is most welcome. Even though i have several reference pics at hand there are many issues to deal with; the headlights alone took me a lot of time and i am still not fully satisfied with them.
The grille mapping may be effective at a distance but at close range it lacks depth. The chrome bars should be rounder and the vents should recede inwards. Opacity map simply creates a hole on the object face, no depth.* :x

It looks so real and i really like your materials :mrgreen:
