VW beetle - first proj

[rickyss]

hello all!! i present you my first car model, i invested a lot of work in it and also learned a lot in the process of making... its not yet finished but im working on that. im not sure if the pics are big enough, i will post bigger if necessary. Im not yet good at car paint material and exquisite scenes but working on that too. waiting for crits and suggestions, indications, etc. thank you for viewing.

Hi,

I don't mean to be rude, but your model is very inaccurate, and has got many flaws. The seams look way too big, you really should read some tutorials. The bonnet looks like an unattached part floating above the engine. Also the windshield starts just above the bonnet, yours starts below the bonnet. Is this car meant to be highpoly? You should check the smoothing, it has got smoothing problems around the seams and sharp curves. Still this thing has got potential. Just keep working on the seams and the bonnet and you should be cool. I attached the wireframe with only few modifications you should make, I'm in hurry now.

well it's a good start but flaws are always expected at this part of the vehicle modeling and accuracy is hard to tell at this stage since he's just getting the basic shape right now. the smoothing is prolly 1 iteration which is basic to see what would be smooth and what wouldn't be but if it's iteration 2 then yea then theres a problem but like i said it's just the basic shape for now. ^_^

hi!! really what u see there at lower windshield is a problem from the material or lighting used. i will try to make a scene to render it again. of course there are problems but i'll be fixing them as soon as i become aware of them. thank you dragonart i will rework the areas with problems. remember that it is not finished yet so comments, and mostly critics are welcome.

just keep it up and work on what you can and ask for help when needed.

[rickyss]

[rickyss]

here is a little update, still having problems with renderings/materials )

[feral1]

I cant help you properly with the rendering and materials.
But you do need to fix the boot lid.

ok, whats wrong with the boot lid i really cant tell...is it too high? or too big or... i cant figure out whats wrong with it. maybe im just tired i'll look at it again in the morning. thank you

there isn't much wrong with the hood of the car, just around the seam, it needs a bit fixing.

red, this edge is actually narrower than you made it. also the blue edge needs to be narrower too.

don't forget the black seam
