i think he went back to hide under his rock

[andybuck]

is it necessary to have all of those polygons? looks real nice tho so i dont suppose it matters, you must struggle to render stuff on that pc ??? especially as many polys as u have in this car. Ill be keepin a watch on this project, its nice

I shall call it finished! I'll be making couple of studio shots and then i'm gonna put it in some nice environments...
OK here we go..
Enjoy!

[superwes88]

wow, I'm amazed!
Are you going to sell that model, I bet you can!

[T-Shine]

Formidably mindblowing! 8o

[anabioz]

WOW, that's just amazing, i thought it was a real photo at first glance!

[o.j]

I love it. I've got a quick question for you too since i'm too lazy too search for the enzo thread. You studied 3d yourself right? I eman without no outside help e.g tutorials, schools, etc.

[XSImatrix]

hes beeen doing 3d for about 2 years approx i think with no school help (hobby) i think...

I love that red accent on the interiooor!!!!!!! wicked awsome!!.

[scorchi]

8o Simply stunning!

That interior is fantastic, exterior way cool. Call it finished by all means .

[regele]

Wow, kickass renders those, the only thing that give the first one away are the shadows, they're a bit too sharp; on the second one there are a few mesh errors visible but it still looks fantastic.
Now for the questions:
1 What rendering program did you use?
2 Are you thinking of doing a tutorial on this car? at least for the renderig part.
thanks, keep it on

Leather stiches and studio setups
Studio setups are easy if you know how many lights and where to put them.

Also, i recon you could get an award on cgtalk for this :twisted:

[gre03]

How did you do the fillet/blend for the wheel arcs?

[andybuck]

absolutely incredible, true master of the profession 8o hope i can get that good in 2 years was it?

In this studio setup i had that good ol' white plane in the back to give that nice reflection to the back of the hood and roof.. Then i had a selfmade HDRI, which is real easy to do: i made a simple room with couple of lights, some pillars n stuff and rendered with a cubic camera, exported as hdri, blurred it and lit the scene with it.. Then i added a couple of spotlights which was mistake because it came out a little cartoonish, also those sharp shadows aren't good. For the background i made a gradient and twisted it and the ground is a matte plane to get the shadows.. Simple stuff

The leather stitches are easy to do. I'll make a tutorial and post it in the tut section soon

There are many ways to do it. I made it with 2 rail surface.. First i blended curves from side to side then just sweep the surface and use the MatchSrf to make it flow smoooothly.. You can also use loft or network surface. Whatever works..
Sorry i'm not good in explaining stuff but i hope you'll get the idea..

Thanks for all your comments!! More renders soon

[elemenT]

absolutely amazing and sexy.

post it at www.cg-cars.com

[slavke]

I say do a very detailed tutorial on rhino and how you modeled the car. I know I might be asking for much here but its frustrating that there aren't many great car modeling tutorials for rhino. There are few but they aren't well detailed, by that I mean lots of steps are skipped and is not explained. I am trying to do some cars in rhino my self but since I don't know the best way to go on certain parts of the car its not comming out perfectly, but I must say I feel lot better about my rhino skills now than I used to few months back

Everything if possible :mrgreen: , but at least for the most important materials used(in your opinion) and rendering parameters in vray.
Now for some other questions: How long did the renders take and how many polys did the car have in max?
