Ford S-MAX

[jms_3d]

hey started a new car the otherday. A Ford S-max

havnt finished the front bumper yet and i know there is a few inaccuracies with the model but i think it looks pretty good so far not bad for my first model without a top blueprint...

c&c welcome

BTW i will post a wire pic soon

[ibeam]

looks like a nice start. could you post some wires though because there are a couple spots on the front bumper that maybe a bit off.

Here they are

it is lookign really nice. I like the choice of the car, yo udon't see them very often modelled. The start you make is good, only some crits depending on the wire and 1 bump.

Picture: red place is a bit bumpy
Wire: the red lines are an added row of edges, the blue lines are those edges deleted!

Hope you can use it, and keep it going!

erik stole my thunder and pointed out most of what is bothering me. the only thing that i would add is that i think the crease going through the circular trim for the foglights (i presume that's what they are) should probably fade out a bit at the end so that it looks more circular.

@ Erik_S : thankyou I will do this next time i open up 3ds max

@ ibeam: thanks that crease is suppose to be there...for some reason :roll: REFRENCE pic

Thanks for the comments and help , i will get those bits sorted out

[ibeam]

i see what you mean in the reference pic. my overall point, though, is that the opening ceases to look round because of the way you've modelled the crease. it's a nitpicky point though so don't lose any sleep over it

really nice and clean i wanted to make this car too

[jms_3d]

thanks

Heres the rim for the S-max and a tiny bit of progress need to fix a few things for it but i dont think it looks too bad

Merry xmas

[ibeam]

looking smoother. on the far side, i think i see a little bump on the bumper at the top of the hood but other than that you're doing good.

Hey, thanks for the comments

Well i made little progress since my last update but im having 2 problems i will post my first one though as it will probally be an easier fix

if anyone could give me some tips that would be great

on the headlight glass (bottom) there is a slight bump i seen it i will correct this once i manage to get the headlight glass and car body to fit properly.

thanks, James

Problem solved

here is an update and a render (shaddow looks bad)

Will try post some wires up soon!

I know the seem around the top of the headlight doesnt fit, the seem is just for show (at the moment)

looking great so far...nice details

[crysty]

i love the wheels, nice car too, keep up the good work

[jms_3d]

Thanks for the comments

Will try and get some updates soon

James

[N_modder]

it looks so smooth , and i love those rims, i think those are the best ford rims ever

[jms_3d]

Hi thanks for the nice comments
Again, here is another slow progress update. I have noticed the bump on the front door on the bottom by the seam. There are allot of bumps on and around the headlight area as I have had to re make it and haven’t had much change to fix the bumps.

I will start adding more detail in soon. My main aim is to keep the mesh clean and smooth while maintaining a high-ish level of detail.

I keep meaning to attach a wireframe but never do get around to it :roll: and I just closed 3ds max. Will also try and get some test renders and clay renders done soon...

C&C welcome.

Thanks for reading

I don't like the car, but I like to see someone's building public cars plus this one is very nice modeled so far.

[k0ster]

well i do like this car wish i could have it in real life, and indeed it looks nicely modeled

[mikolc]

At least a normal car. It looks very good but apart the bumps you have mantioned there are some on hood near grill.
