Hi,

Back with a new project. Main body almost done (mirrors missing), details started : hood and front grids for the moment. Rims are just placeholder.

C&C welcomed

Super sweet

got some corrections, i think you need to look at way more refs. But looks a good base model to be refined

[Silent][Moebius]

well i guess andy took all the fun out and pointed out most of the inaccuracies

some point i have to add. that red line, it needs to be shaped differently.

good job on the aston, overall it looks very smooth and all. you just need to consult ref pics more closely

[tom120934]

Thanks a lot andybuck and Silent][Moebius for your comments. I start to fix the points you spotted right now.

Here's a rear view.

[tom120934]

I tried to make all corrections you indicated, guys. I would be honored if you could tell if you think mistakes are fixed.

[andybuck]

didnt see your latest post but here are the crits on the rear end.

good job man. i like the model it just needs some refining

red - those creases need to go away
yellow - smoother here
blue - i'm not quite sure about this but i think you have to set this line higher

about the sexiest part of this car - the rear end

imo you made it too pointy and too long. it seems to me like you would have to push in the rear bumper inwards more or it's the fault of the camera angle.

[tom120934]

Thanks for all your comments, it's of great help for me !

No much time to work this work, here's a little update for the front. I tried a new setup render for my clays, I think it looks cool.

Will spend some time tonight on the rear, I'll post render tomorrow morning.

Also have to redo the door. After looking at refpics, I found both front and rear edges fall on the door. Please have a look to attached pic and say me if I'm right.

[tom120934]

Replying myself (no comment ? ) about Silent][Moebius 's thought : the rear of the car is too long.

You'll find attached a quick comparison between the blueprint I'm using and a refpic. Size is not perfectly set but the problem with the rear is clear.

Bonus : a clay of my last fixes on the back. I did it before comparing blueprint vs refpic so it shows the problem too. Now working on sizing down the rear.

[Silent][Moebius]

so are you going to shorten the rear end?

check out the areas i marked in red. you should see the mistakes.
blue - too sharp imo
purple - not sharp enough and too deep inset
green - should be a lot thinner and sharper

[SuB-ZeuZ]

You shouldn't shorten the back too much, since that refpic has quite alot of perspective in it.

Just a bit, not too much

[tom120934]

Thanks for replies.

Not so much time to shorten the back until this WE. I will post progress sunday. And yes SuB-ZeuZ, it will be a short shortening

I spent some time on the front, trying to fixing errors spotted by Silent][Moebius. Here's what I've got so far.

[NightEye]

Looks a bit better already But still that edge around the headlight :roll:

[tmxxxx]

nice work there , but your website is not working , is there any other way to see your tutorials?

[tom120934]

Site is in maintenance right now. No backup available for the moment, so you'll only get a "no response" answer

Will be back soon. Thanks NE & tmxxxx for comments.

NE, could you be more specific please ? Are you talking about the top of left light (it's just a render artefact, model is clear) or do you think the edge is too sharpen (or not enough maybe) ?

[ColdFlame]

i dont know that car but model looks superbly clean and nice so that is all i can comment about cant crit on accuracy

[Silent][Moebius]

alright nice fixing done! just some minor inaccuracies.

i'm guessing Ne is meaning the front area of the headlights, they don't look alright to me too. but the perspective of your render can't reveal too much. it would be great if you could show a render with a more head on view

alright check my attachment, the grille should be a bit differently curved than you have done it.
