Lotus Elise

[lordiron2k]

OK, here is my new project.
It will be an custom super duper elise with influence of the M250 concept elise.




I´m at the beginning of setting up splines like u can see and i hope i will get the cage today or tomorrow done.

[NightEye]

Too bad it isn't the old one.. :roll:
But sofar you got the shape right (for as far you can have a shape in this stage )

[TheHellmaster]

Like Nighteye said: Looks clean

[lordiron2k]

worked more on the splines







Finished setting up the splines





note: some small splines still missing but this is only 1 min work for me

[lordiron2k]

here is my first Custom/concept spline cage for that car. I hope u like it

[NightEye]

With these, you are referring to your own 'next generation Elise'?
I don't like the edgy headlight But the rest looks okay

Can't wait to see it patched

[lordiron2k]

Next Stage patching

First Render!!!

[lordiron2k]

oh yeah, nobody replies here, so the car must suck big time. Arigato

[exidge]

nah ... i like it .. besonders den render... wenn du meinen auch so rendern wuerderst... :S

[Freefall]

When nobody replies in 12 hours the car sucks? It far from sucks, I think it looks great. When nobody replies it doesn't mean nobody likes it, Sometimes you won't get a reply in 2 days when you post something new.

Just keep going with the car cause I think it looks awesome

[yasickkk]

heh, i like it how u rendered that, the the background is awesome

[Bjolletts]

Nice work I like the smooth shapes

[lordiron2k]

OK now i´m doing something what i normally wouldn´t do. Scene pics






If u r not so tough @ rendering setting up a scene u can just copy the scene from me and see what happens.

If u have question about that scene ur free to ask me.

Just one thing: What kind of lights are those? I don't think LW7 got those...
Anyway, it could be done with GI too, which I think, is a lot easier.. But it might take a while to render
Oh, and what's the light intensity? Since 20 lights of about 90%, will make it a lot brighter than you want.. So I guess 5% each?

Anyways, although I dislike the model (no offense, just the design.. :roll: ), you've done a great job

[lordiron2k]

These are 40 point lights with 2% intensity (rendertime ca 2min) and i cant use GI because my PC crashes after some minutes when i use it.

I used the Luxigon technique to set up all these lights with the modeler

[NightEye]

Hmm, thanks, gotto try that some time

[lordiron2k]

I have changed the frontbumper

[x-per]

Looks great but i like the first bumber MUCH more.....

[Freefall]

X-per is right, the first bumper is much more elise like with the round shapes. I really think you should keep that one. The rest of the car stil looks amazing
