EC PROJECTS [BMW Z8 E52]

[RedStar]

This is lookin very hot. Probly wont be for mm2 will it?

[mpfive]

my only comment is that the shift knob looks too small

[tom120934]

I love it !

[Silent][Moebius]

i gotta agree on the shift knob, otherwise the interior is looking great

[EuropaCar]

thanks guys, and thanks for the crit
@ Redstar: mm2 could prolly handle it, but yeah it's mainly artwork for me (plus i don't have my mm2 cd atm)

[EuropaCar]

and once again a small update - inside of the windshield, door done, more of the dash done
pretty much the only things left are the rest of the dash, the wheel wells/underside, wheels, and a hardtop
much easier said than done though

[Catlin]

Hey i see this project has been going for along time,you cant be that busy can you? Anyway its looking really nice what kinda polys we speaking here?

[Silent][Moebius]

oh and don't forget the seams finish overall

[EuropaCar]

@Catlin: simply, yes i can be that busy
as for polies....as of this latest update, polycount stands at 35.300..too much but i don't care
@Silent: thanks
i made a to-do list for the car, if anybody was wondering

and here's the next small update
-part of the dash


this part of the dash was actually a huge hurdle, something that i've been putting off for a long time just because it looked so hard...so i settled on autrocious normals and left it at that
but hopefully it's not too apparent, and even if it is, i'm not fixing it

[EuropaCar]

got the beautiful steering wheel done, and pretty much the rest of the dash
thanks for the comments

[RedStar]

reflections on your front fender and door dont match

[EuropaCar]

thanks for the crit, but i'm at a stage in this car where i really don't want to go back and fix it
i may take pics soon, but the updates i've made don't really deserve pics:
i have now finished closing all gaps and seams, filling in wheel wells and underside, done the rear view mirror, leaving my to-do list as follows:

*finish the dash (close in steering column hole, keyhole, etc. on right side)
*wheels and brakes
*windshield wipers
*hardtop (?)
*all textures

and possibly i may make the alpina version, if i feel like it

[EuropaCar]

some miscellaneous updates

-wheel wells done
-wipers done
-rear view mirror done
-all gaps, seams done
-underside done



so my to-do list is small now:
just need to do the wheels and textures really

[Catlin]

very nic emate this is a great project, what is this going to be used for in the end?

[EuropaCar]

thanks
i'll probably put it in a few games - it's not excessively high-poly
but actually it is more an art for me - i don't care if it goes in a game or not

-rims + tires done

(these should look better once i get the textures in)



to-do:
-brakes
-rest of dash
-textures
-hardtop (?)
-alpina version (?)

[clix101]

superb work! looks really great

[Catlin]

Keep going your nearly there! lol i love it.

[RedStar]

I say no to hardtop. With all this work your putting into a hardtop would just hide a lot of it. I mean you can have the 2 versions where you render one with and one without but for a final render i would have no hardtop.

[Catlin]

what differences does the alpina come with,i never seen an alpina version so just different rims and alpina badges?
