Mazda Protege 5

[mpfive]

hey guys, another wagon coming up, this one requires quite a bit of work, b/c the blueprints have the correct main wagon body, but the completely wrong front, so i'll have to model that part of ref pics, anyways, here's what i got so far (blueprints are quite inaccurate, but i'm happy at how its coming along so far)

edit.. lol, i'm modeling my nick name

looks good so far...kinda hard to crit at the moment though

lol, agreed, another update coming up soon, finishing up the doors atm, btw.. this is the model that your mazda 3 replaced lol, kidding, i like 3's, just too bad they had to discontinue the protege

[mpfive]

alright, here are the doors

Looks very clean,, Can't critic on accuracy though, but i think that is allright I like it.. keep it up

[The IC]

im pretty sure its gonna be accurate, mpfive owns one in real life

gotta get rid of that pinch on the wheel arch, its hard doing seams on wheel arches

and as for the 3 replacing the protege (or 323 as its called in Aus), thats just standard progression of a car model...i think the new updated 3 looks kinda silly with the new wheels and bumpers

sweet work mp5, looks great

[ColdFlame]

Looks amazing mate...keep it up .I loved the poly placement

[mpfive]

@Erik_S: lol, thanks, dont worry, i can get all the ref pics i'll ever need

@The IC: thanks man, i noticed the change in lighting on that wheel arc after i rendered last night, when i took a look, turned out that the vertice in that place was pulled back too deep, probably moved it by accident while rotating or something, anyways, fixed, thanks for pointing out anyways

lol, the MS3 rules though, you cant complain, so i guess things took over for the best

@clix: thanks man

@coldflame: lol, glad you like it.

update: (sort of small, but here it is) window trims are done, and started front fenders, that fender is still wip, since its soon going to be converted to the 02+ front, thats why its like that at the moment, anyways, here are some pics

EDIT.. no more pinch at the wheel arc, now the lighting is changed b/c of the 2 overhead white planes

[ColdFlame]

render is great .i cant crit on accuracy cuz i dont know mazda's much .but yeah ur wire is so clean and nice so the smoothed result is ...keep it up

[clix101]

looks amazing!

[Stratous]

Lookin sweet...
I have been eyeing the 2007 Saab 9-3 Wagon...I may just have to give it a try.

[mpfive]

@Stratous.. DO IT, then we can have another render with 2 new wagons just like we did with the audi and mazda, lol

anyways, here's update..
-fender comlete, times remodeled: twice
-hood complete, times remodeled: 1.5 (had to delete half to remodel)
so far, thanks to multiemediaman's blueprint of the protege from gt4, i'm doing pretty good, unless you think otherwise, lol:

EDIT: had to redo the bottom half of the car b/c the curvature was wrong, and no, not remodel, just move vertices, took me a while to get it right :S

[The IC]

lookin good, nice and crisp...i reeeally should finish my 3 sometime (or start it again) :roll:

[mpfive]

@the ic, thanks man, if you remodel your 3, we can make a nice render together

update: front bumper still in progress, gotta run to work now

[feral1]

looks good mpfive, keep up the good work

[pedro.malheiro]

nice. looks very good. Dont stop

[mpfive]

lol, thanks guys, no plans for stopping

update: bumper finished, i'd like to thank to REDSTAR for helping me out with some pinching.
-dont bother criting the hood, cause the reflections are perfect, lol, i have 2 planes reflecting, on at an angles, thats why its like that

EDIT: i'll fix the problem where the bumper meets the fender

EDIT2: problem with bumper and fender seem fixed, also added the previous mazda 6 tuned rims to give it some feeling

[clix101]

amazing work, great poly placement

[mpfive]

thanks clix

skirt finally done, and this car finally starts looking like an mp5
