Lowpoly Contest : 1998 Chevrolet Camaro Z28

[multimediaman]

This is going to be one of them sub 1.5K face models, so it may start out significantly less fancy than the rest of the competition, although the texturing should make up for the lack of detail. so yeah...

Here's the start of this vehicle:

[multimediaman]

okay, bit of an update.

First set : 'fake' textures... actually the blueprints mapped to model
Second set : untextured, reflective
Third set : basic materials
Foruth set : wire frame

3890 faces with these tires. These tires are temporary though, I'm going to use a much lower-face option for them in the end.

1434 faces with no tires

1594 faces with the tires I'm going to use...

the thing has no bottom to the car just yet, and lacks interior detail... but upon optimization, it should finish around 1600 still. I plan on using just one 1024x512 texture for the whole vehicle, plus a 64x64 texture for the tire

That is lowpoly lovely indeed

Looks really smooth even it has that low polycount :-o

[SirDavidP]

are the blueprints you using on here somewhere??? cause i been lookin for this Camaro for a long time...

[Tigga]

Very nice!

Hmm not too fond of the bashed-up front, but the model sure looks awesome
Nice polycount aswell, to stay under 1.5k!

[multimediaman]

tackle a load of issues with a single reply here...

the bashed up front is because it's my brother's camaro's photos... which I've used to create a blueprint from, and the blueprint is up in the Chevrolet Section of this site.

The print is actually for the base model, but with just a stretch of the imagination it could serve for the Z28 or the SS.

The textures on here are by no means what the end model will look like though... no way hahah. I like my cars looking new

[NightEye]

Hehehe okay, good

[multimediaman]

eep. I haven't posted enough progress on this thread. I kept putting it off because switching files from my work machine to this machine was such a hassle.

so here's a whole huge conglomerate posting for y'all

The final face count weighs in at 1523. I am using a 1024x512 diffuse texture, and a 128x128 tire texture.

Here it was while I was getting the unwrap of it going... interesting display...



I got that done a while ago, and have been working on the texturing today... Here's some renders of it in various colors:



Here's a composite with matching clay render:



and finally some wireframes:



any comments or critiques?
