Real World Racer: Holden Commodore Dakar

[chris20]

Thanks guys.

Added some new wheels and tyres.

Heres a clay render Tom. Had another front on one which just crashed
A bit strange, blender has been pretty stable for me so far.

Will post another tomorrow.

Cheers
Chris

This is looking great. I can't see a single item to crit. Nice design. Nice and clean. Nice render. A really nice piece. Did I say nice?

That.... is ... Nice.

 

[chris20]

Thanks guys. Much appreciated.

This was that other render. Cheers

Thanks for clays. They really do justice to your work, the model is really nice.

You should details headlight a bit more. They look rather simplish at the moment. Also, the tire thread details should be smoothed at their bottom, to have them smoothly integrated with the tire body.

 

[chris20]

Done a bit of work on the interior.

Also revisited the tyres as suggested. Not that this render shows them that much.

edit: another side on.

I don't like the rims and the steering wheel. Rims, just doesn't fit to dakar, that's my feel, but about steering, it looks flat, Don't know what exactly affects that. The rest is awesome Keep it up.

 

[chris20]

Both good points Krystian. Went back to my OZ wheels. As for the steering wheel. It was modeled on the vw touareg wheel but you where right in it being a little too flat. I have added some dish to it.

 

[chris20]

Bit more progress. Starting to think about some paint.

 

[chris20]

Done a bit more on the seats. Belts need some more work.

This one looks awesome for a car that actually doesnt exist in real. Great job, I love it. One of the best.

Good concept and clean modelling
Add me to the list of admirers

 

[chris20]

Thanks a lot guys. Most appreciated.

A shot of the back. Tail lights are no good though. I need to think of something different there.

 

[chris20]

Bit of an update. Added a few more bits and started to think about the paint scheme.

 

[metabadger]

Your model looks really clean. Awesome job. One of my favorites

 

[Prykie]

Looks really cool Chris, love the paint scheme!

 

[chris20]

Thanks guys.

Little bit more work on the paint.

 

[Astr0s]

Looks lovely! Now get some desert around the car

 

[chris20]

Astr0s. Thanks mate. Yeah i've been thinking about the desert scene.

I've done this at work today (whilst I should have been working).

All done in maya then comped together in photoshop. Basic Perlin clouds over a gradient for the sky. A heightfield terrain for the mountains. Dunes are modeled (roughly) then rendered with Mental ray sun sky. After that just a bit of colour correction in photoshop. Im kind of happy with the look but im going to add a bit rock and pebbles to give it that Chile feel rather than the Sahara look. And I will add a dune texture to the areas closest to camera.

Just stunning and beautiful work. I'll have my eye on this thread
