Lexus LS460 - Scratch Made Cars

ML · #1 (**permalink**) 11-26-2007

Haven't touch 3D modeling for quite some time now, almost forgot how to model

... the other day saw a white LS460 drove by and caught my eye so I decided to model it

Here's a quick WIP, some bumps and a lil bit messy wireframe. 1080 triangles right now, not aiming for any specific polycount though.. just want to get myself to be familiar with modeling again.

looks like a nice start. the ls460 is definitely an adventure to model.

A bit polyheavy on that front, but since you're not aiming for anything.. Just leave it

Nice work sofar, and good to see you're working on things again, too!

thx for the warm welcome guys

minor update, headlights and start to work towards the front fender. a lot of polies, mesh needs some optimizing

Nice update, still clean, still smooth, except the very bottom of the bumper (on sides)

Keep us updated, it's really good work. Makes me want to try again to model lowpoly.

looks like there is a wave in the middle of the hood. apart from that it looks great.

Great model and choice of car. I think lowpoly modeling is more demanding because you have to make everything yourself and not use any sort of smoothing to round off your model. You have to do it yourself.

Anyways, as i`ve said, great model ! What game is this going to be put into?

Nothing more to add.

I hope you will give someone the permission to convert it to sa.

thx guys

@schaefft: i'm not sure if i'm going to make it so that doors can open. we'll see

visually it might look the same but i spent some time fixing up the front as well as smooth out some corners

dunno how many polies it is at right now but it looks like there's a lot of polies.. hopefully i can keep this model from turning into a huge mess

(i haven't tweak the poly structure on the bonnet yet. i forgot lol)

It loks very nice and smooth so far. Very good choice of car. I love all Lexus cars. Keep it goin'!

tom120934 · #16 (**permalink**) 12-06-2007

Really smooth, I agree with LOST, of course.

The mesh is really fine to read it. It's not easy to make it, but with you it looks easy, nice work.

Off to a good start and from what I can see you basically got an exact match of the real car. Besides a little pinch here and there, the Lexus is looking good.

venom800tt · #18 (**permalink**) 12-10-2007

Hurry and get this thing done so I can see some VIP

ML · #19 (**permalink**) 12-12-2007

Some more update on the LS

slow.. but getting there!

tom120934 · #20 (**permalink**) 12-12-2007

No problem with working slowly, as long as you're doing well. And you are doing very well !

The trunk area right above the rear light looks a bit weird. Not the flat panel just above the rearlight, the next one above. Maybe it's cam angle, but your mesh doesn't look clean there as it's everywhere else.
