NSU Prinz Sport Coupe 1958-1968

[palat]

Hi all,

This project was in the backburner for a long time. Designed by Bertone, reminds me of George Jetson's personal transportation. Can't tell the year precisely, there were some differences from year to year.
Still much to go. Max, poly, VRay.

Thanks SMCars for the blueprints!

[Johnas]

Bertone has some weird designs, you love or hate them

Marvellous job thou, looking forward to see more

[palat]

Thanks FlashG. Actually it was designed by Scaglietti under Bertone...

Yeah that's definitely the Jetson's car with Palat's touch, of course hehe good work, looking forward to see it finished.

[palat]

Thanks A3dR!

Here's a small update, cut out some louvres fore and aft, added door handles and taillights.

you know that is (weirdly) so true! i can remember the jetsons ... funny comic. anyways funny looking car. it's got an interesting design

nice work palat

the modeling looks good as usual, but the materials dont. I think the chrome is way too light and the blinker/indicator material needs a bump map of some sorts. The actual car paint looks alright tho.

[palat]

Thanks people for the crits and comments -- and the stars.

andybuck,
The blinker/material must be bumped with proper textures, i just colored it to see how it goes with the carpaint (i have tested a few different car colors), but i will darken the chrome as it really looks like billet instead.

:? :? :? correct me if im wrong. but i cant see a thing here.

[Paps]

same here, not a single picture

[VertexWorshiper]

great shape! clean model!

[palat]

Sorry folks, the server was down the whole day.
Never mind, here's an update in a more cheerful tone of green. Exterior pretty much done except for badges.

[Silent][Moebius]

funny little car

nice one palat

[Linsen]

Great model as usual, palat!

And now I'm being really, really, really picky, but how the reflection at the end of the fins curves upwards seems a little strange. Is that caused by the mesh-structure or is it just me?

[palat]

Thanks Silent][Moebius and Linsen

There was an angled edge on the fin, i corrected it. Thanks for noticing.

Here's the wire:

[garethgeezer]

Sweet wire, lots of work in those rear vents and they look great

[kosso_olli]

Now thats a palat-model. Good looking as usual. But as stated before, the chrome needs to be darker. But it is great looking even with this problem.

[palat]

Thanks garethgeezer and kosso_oli
Actually the area surrounding the vents needs some tweaking to look right.
I have rerended with another carpaint and changed the reflection map for a fairly simple gradient ramp used as spherical environment:




I don't like the reflection on the glass that made every black object inside the car look light grey.
