1979 Arrows A2 (F1)

[bluestar77]

I don't have the best references for the V8, so it's not 100% accurate by any means. Splines are a pain in the ass...

[discocandy]

nice work!

[NightEye]

hock:
That is one of the most detailed engines I've ever seen hock: (I probably told that many times when seeing an engein )

Ouch..very good going here "thumbs up" :!:

[bluestar77]

jees..thanks guys. This is my first engine so I'm still learning. Here's an update:

[sumpex]

wowww
amazingly hock:
and this engine hock:
AMAZING !!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG , keep it going

[Psychotica]

Got only one word for it:

Fantastic hock:

[bluestar77]

I've moved back to the front end because of lack of references for the rear suspension. Starting to work on the front suspension & cockpit.

[NightEye]

Great to have you back

[Bjolletts]

That's one sweet engine ! great work indeed

[scw]

Perfect! hock:
I got 2 questions!
1. How long does it take to make that render, the last one, I mean the render time?
2. What program do you use?
Thanks

[bluestar77]

Thanks guys

scw - I use Maxon Cinema 4D. I've made my own technique to fake the HDRI lighting effect because my version doesn't support it, unfortunately it's very processor intensive. That render took about 3 hours on a P4 2GHz, 512Mb. I think the results are worth the wait, though.

Now thats a thing of beauty I must say The car looks great, for once ( believe it or not) no criticism on my part, no freaky picturs with wild colors hehe.

[rvieira]

Bluestar... you are simple the best!!!!!!!!!

[bluestar77]

Jees...thanks guys ops: still a lot to learn, though.

Icekid - you helped out a lot, mate. There's still some adjusting to be done to the front end, I'll get there eventually.

Discocandy - thanks man, but if you want to look at a piece that has a whole re-evaluate-your-life-jaw-hits-the-carpet kind of effect, check this out: http://www.cgtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=134203
