Opel Manta B Mattig

Okay...
I'm going to model this beastie here:



Yesterday, I started modelling. This here is how far I got, exactly 180 tris.




However, there are no blueprints of the Mattig bodykit, and as it is so different from the stock Manta, I would have to build most of the car free hand.

To make the building process a bit easier, I took the side view of the stock blueprints and drew a blueprint of the Mattig bodykit on it. It's not as exact as it could be, but it'll do the job.




So, I don't have much yet, but stay tuned for more.

Nice one really

Looking forward to this, I'm don't like the bodykit too much but it will be interesting to see how this is going to look

I don't want to wait an hour before the pic has loaded, imageshack is soooooooooo slow these days :/
But I'm sure this looks great


If you can't stand the heat, don't walk into the fire...

Huh, I'm getting the usual speed from imageshack... :/



To say the truth, I'm actually quite frustrated with this car already. I just can't seem to do a good job on the indent in the side when I try to fill it with polies, and the rearsection is not all that easy... :/
Anyways, what do you think?

Indeed it is, nice to see someone recognize this.


I'm afraid I don't have much of an update... I only built the sideskirt and the wheels, I've been lazy.

Damn it!

It looks as if I won't be able to finish this on time. Today the graphics card in the computer I use for modelling just decided to be a suicidal son of a b*tch.
I don't have the money for a new card and Max doesn't work on my secondary computer... And it could be quite some time until I get a new graphics card.


However, a big "Good Luck!" to the other contestants, I hope you all at least manage to finish your projects.

And the gfxcard from your secundary doesn't work in your primary one?

If not.. Too bad
Hope you will finish this though, even outside the contest!

Sadly, it's an onboard card, so I can't just swap it over...

Okay... got some good news and some bad news.

Good news first:

I managed to get my hands on a new gfx card. It's just a Radeon 9100 but it's enough for modelling.

Bad news:

It looks as if I won't be able to complete the Manta within the limit of 5000 polies. And as I think that it would affect the looks of the model quite a bit because of the roundness of that bodykit I don't really want to start cutting polies.
But as I have no intentions of not competing in this contest, I just started another car. It's quite simple to say the truth, but as I have only 8 days left I needed something I could finish quickly. I'll make a WIP thread later.

Could a mod please remove the "Lowpoly Contest:" from the topic title?

The newest WIP picture. It's at around 3,5k now. I'll continue it next week, when I'm finished with the 190E.

I'll redo the vents in the hood, as they are a bit wrong at the moment.
