Mercedes S 65 AMG 2006

[regele]

Here's my latest WIP. I decided to do this car since Mercedes is my favourite car brand and nobody does AMG's because there are no blueprints for them, so here goes.

I have a different method of working from most of the people here, I first build all the surface and then start dividing and adding the details, so it might be a while untill the first meshmooth pics of the body will appear, for now I've only got wireframes.

The rim however is ready, there are a few flaws because I used booleans on it to make the bolt holes, I think in the end I'll use displacement, but the rims will be among the last things that I'll take care of , I also got to add the Mercedes emblem on them and do the AMG indentations.

The tire was made with a displacement map that I made myself from a few refpics, but I don't have sidewalls for it, so if you know where I could get them from, I would appreciate it. I don't know why the "things" appear on the edge, but I'll look into it when I get some time; theese pics were just a few quick tests.

C&C more than welcomed

Second tyre material, I couldn't add more than 7 pics in the first post.

nice flow, mesh seems to be very promising
good work

cool car, but what ar those things on the tyre on the inside edge?

[revelli]

nice car choice
why are you using so much polies on the side? try to optimize the mesh - much polies - much bumps

[garethgeezer]

Good start, but I have to agree with revelli, you've used a lot of polies where you could use less. I'm a poly freak but even I think you could lose some without affecting your mesh, for example behind the front wheel arch on the side of the wing. But you have a great mesh that looks very promising. Wheels and tyres look cool too

I didn't map the displacement right.

Small update: front bumber pretty much wrapped up, didn't have that many time to work on it, so it's going pretty slow but I'll get there.

it is just amazing, how smooth you can model
really good job so far
