LowPoly M3

[Ravens]

Hi there,

Many might think now,, ooh no not him and his project.. And others might think aaaw finally...


But ok, let's talk about the car!

I almost never done a lowpoly car.. And since i now need a lowpoly one.. i started to do it. Everything is "non-meshsmooth".


Side, backbumper and few other things has to be smoothed yet..


And ooh before i forget to ask.. I'm posting wireframe's.. Dont freak out.. And no i'm not gonna pay for the medical bill's ...

Now the question, Can u guy's help me to perfection this wireframe. I know it aint good, but still wanna make it good, for the reflection and not seeing that it is lowpoly..

And also my limit is 50k With bit's of the interior..

exhausts and rims have way to much polys for low poly model you could also deleta good few lines from the door and the windows

[mpfive]

*faints*

lmao.. jking.. definitly could lose a lot of polies..mostly on the rims and exaust like seancatlin11 already pointed out.. i know, i know, not very helpfull rite now, but tomorrow morning i'll trying and edit ur wire in paint to give u basic ideas where u can lose polies

[revelli]

this will be interesting to watch, but i think, you can optimize your mesh lil better

[Johnas]

Typical hipolymodeler mesh

Looking good indeed and remember now when you're not using meshsmooth you can also use tris so all those small polyrows can be deleted.

Btw 50k isn't lowpoly, above 7k is starting to be midpoly car already

[sarN]

with lowpoly, on a straight surface, you can use very few polys and still get a good reflection. so you have some areas (like the front bumper, with 3 rows of polys not really doing anything. that could be cut down to 1 or 2 rows, then you can make triangles to get more edges for your wheel wells. for the most part, only when you subdivide the mesh to triangles become a problem. anyways the shape looks good so far, just try to cut down on the areas that people mentioned!

[ColdFlame]

when u add some edges you will get a hi-poly one looks really nice ,awesome work

[mpfive]

since its a low poly, the wheel arc doesnt need as many polies.. u dont need it to be perfect circle

[Ravens]

But i want a perfect circle ... i want everything smooth without adding meshsmooth or turbosmooth.

[revelli]

you have many polygons on your wheel and bumpers but why not to round your headlight lil bit more?

[Ravens]

aaaw yea, ur right lol.. *write's it down on his to-do list * thnx

Hey Raven.

I was about to start my own lowpoly M3,and than you posted yours. So I thought we could have a VS. between us. (50k limit)

What do you think?

Yuriy

[Silent][Moebius]

what is your polycount atm?

and yes some areas can be improved but if you have such a high budget of polies i guess what your doing right now is ok

[Ravens]

Sorry guy's gotta take care of some serieous problems atm!

50k is not lowpoly, 5k is

Take care Ravens, hopefully you'll get things sorted

Somehow i found lil time.. and made a lil update.

Body for so far 4890 tri's . i know its alot! but well, it's still move-ing smooth on my laptop.. so i dont need to worry yet.

Gotta make thickness on the car. And some minor detail's.

Say what u can see what is wrong! please.



ps. sorry for the small images. Dont have a-lot time.



I do have the details on the hood, but the render aint showing them

[Silent][Moebius]

those are killer rims 8o

[revelli]

it seems like your rims dont have smoothing group on one place
and chamfer your front bumper, that top edge

[Ravens]

Rim aint smoothed yet.

I know, this lowpoly ride aint good like the others here, but hey.. I am new to lowpoly! (4890 tri's on the whole body)

Screenshots:







ps. will do the chamfer on the bumper!

[Ravens]

Spot the update, lol




And yes, the sidemirror, needs some work
