Cheers Andy, I'll go check it out and see if I can improve that area

[Eyecandy]

I think you could do with increasing the subdivisions on your paint and roof as they are a bit spekly,nice model

[rapheal9]

Thanks for the comments everyone.
I had a look at that front wing, thanks to andybuck for pointing it out. It was a bit bumpy so I hope I've improved it now. I think the gap between the bonnet & wing should be bigger so I'll sort that out next.
I've also made a start on the engine. It's based on the V8 that I did for my Mondeo, but altered so that it roughly resembles a Mopar lump. I know I know, it's not accurate, but I don't want to spend too long on it. I just want the top end to look ok for when I do a render with the bonnet/hood open. By the time it's got a Mopar air cleaner on it and all the other factory clutter it should look ok...... from a distance, at night

looks really good to me

Nice Gareth!! I like the engine, not as much detail as Toms but as you said you dont want to spend too much time on it.

[gangmemberno23]

did you separate the engine parts? because i think it will be really a lot of fun to texture this whole engine, old used and rusty pipes, motor oil all over the engine parts, etc etc, that will be fun, your model is really a nice one

[garethgeezer]

@ clix - thanks man

@ Prykie - cheers dude. I couldn't even begin to get to the level of detail that tom has, I think my Tosh lappy would go bang!

@ gangmemberno23 - thanks, that's a great idea! The parts are all separate. I was going to do it 'as new' under the hood, but it would be cool to get it looking like it has been run for some time with the oil, rusty water marks etc. Nice one I'll have to model up a puddle of oil for underneath it too!

man, this renders are so SEXY !!!!!
great job man, modelling 10.1/10 details 10.1/10 and renders 10.1/10
really impressive work

[andybuck]

looks better now and woah nice engine 8o

[garethgeezer]

Done a bit more to the engine bay - not going for 100% accuracy but I'm slowly tweaking it to look like a Mopar lump.
C&C welcome as always.



EDIT: Just noticed the transmission sticky through the floor - oops!

[tomsullivan]

good to see my camaro still has a brother out there great detail

cant wait to see it all materialised up

keep it up

[Silent][Moebius]

very nice job on the motor, can't wait either to see some grade A materials on this one

[clix101]

looks amazing, keep it up

[garethgeezer]

@ Tom - thanks man, I'll consider my Dodge as the more sensible brother of your wild hooligan masterpiece. The Charger will be at home in bed while your Camaro is out on the streets, late at night, causing trouble

@ Clix - cheers man, thanks for all your kind comments. I still have lots of enthusiasm for this model, even though I've been working on it since last November!

@ Silent - Thanks, Still lots to model under the hood, but I've started to add a few materials. This is what it looks like so far.

C & C always welcome



(HELP? - I could do with some decent ref pics of standard Charger R/T wheels if anyone has any, thanks)

[Prykie]

Looking awesome Gareth!! only thing that looks funny is the black pipes heading thru the firewall, they look a bit fake

[hegy]

Looks great.Maybe the orange on the motor is a bit too shiny&reflective...I remember someone sudgesting you put some oil stains and dirt on the engine, combined with some rust on the body...That would look AWSOME!!!

[clix101]

looks great! love this project

[tomsullivan]

seexxxyyyy !!!!

mabye it could help.

like hegy said th mats a bit off on the engine bay, i like a clean bay, so no rust but the mat is just a little off on the block, need to be more grainy, and lest reflective............ i think :S lol

anyway keep it up

Tom
