'69 Charger

[garethgeezer]

First 'full' render - still lots to do so it's not in the 'finished work' section just yet.

Background looks little stupid, but car is outrageous, materials are great, one of the bast car i've ever seen

[Silent][Moebius]

awesome you need higher final gathering iterations (or whatever technique you are using ) though because you have splotches under the car

[-monster-]

Awesome!! My new wallpaper...

[Zachary]

thats nice render... but that color of car paint does not fit on charger for some reason...

lets quote H. Ford a bit ... you can paint it any color, so long as it's black

[MuscleCarFreak]

Amazing, both in matter of modelling and materials . It's one of my favorite cars ever, and you captured it absolutely well so far.

[darth carth]

looks really cool and nicely modelled

BUT, I noticed something odd... if you look at the attachment there is a little chrome part next to the window.. I don't really know this car, but shouldn't it stay in it's normal position?:?

Nope I've been working on this car for a whole year, so I'm pretty sure 'that chrome part' goes up and down with the door window. But you did highlight that I need to maybe adjust it a bit as I think there's a gap there that shouldn't be.

@jsruk - thanks but I'm not sure what you mean by the background looking 'stupid'. Any suggestions on how to make it better?

@Silent - thanks man. I have to compromise between quality and render time as it was taking ages. I'll see what I can do to get rid of the splodges, but for now I like to pretend that they are patches of oil, it is a Dodge after all

@-monster- thanks! I've used your renders before so I'm stoked that you choose to use mine!

@Zach - thanks for your comment. I'll try some other colours soon. Are there any colours that you would like me to try?

@MuscleCarFreak - glad you like it! I'm working on more renders so keep checking the thread for updates.

Yes! we need more renders! excellent work, good to see you finally finished it
I agree on the background, could use a little more work like a wider gradient from white to black, or something like that, just to make it a bit more interesting.
and yep, "that chrome part" goes up and down... that's how they made cars back then hehe

[eddybrown]

Looks brilliant, I actually really like the unusual colour. Great detail. You say there's lots to do, whats that? looks great to me

[DrumBoPing]

This render is amazing, i love it, great modeling of it as well

well black w white stripe looks always cool...

and my personal favourite is metallic dark green with white stripe.
Leo's Charger ('70 charger 500 on these pics, but same color theme were available also at '69)

man, this is absolutly gorgeous.. love the materials on it too

Zachary is right, nothing suits a muscle car better than a black paint job

[garethgeezer]

Ok, my mate at work is a wiz with photoshop, so he has set up a file for me where I can change the colour to see what it looks like, before I try and render it. Much quicker than waiting for a render and great fun. Here are a few colour options that I have done.

[MuscleCarFreak]

Black with white stripe is gorgeous .

However, my favorite style is something you can't do just with Photoshop though: primer black with white stripe and chrome wheels (e.g. Cragars or Am. Racing).
I got a RC Charger with that kinda style, just cool.
But you can save that for later, finish the stock version first - oh and I'm looking forward to some rear end render .

[jsruk]

black

[garethgeezer]

Thought I'd post this one as I have it as my wallpaper, just a simple grayscale version. I have a 'door open/rear view' render going right now so if it works I'll post that when it's done.

Thanks for all the comments so far, keep 'em coming

[doncha_magoso]

beautiful model dude!!!

[garethgeezer]

Thanks Doncha!

Ok, here is a different view. Still playing with lighting but here it is
