Real World Racer : VW Passat B6 Pikes Peak

[rb-30s]

Ok, my turn

The model is amazing, right now the detail can already be compared to Tomusullivans Camaro i think :O

 

[salim]

verry nice work astros !!

lovely details too .

I will look at passats differently from now on.

One issue. The see-through gaps in the front body work. Stretching your border edges or dummy geometry would be a quick and easy fixes. Either way, you would not have to re-map anything.

Awesome job

Heh, thanks guys =)

@ metabadger, that isnt actually uwv unwrapped, its just random uvw maps, but ive already started the actual unwrap.. on that note, i started a scene as well, but not sure if it is exactly what i want, isnt at this point anyway (ignore the crappy textures and rocks, lol)

Dew it faster. The Passat Pikes Peak

You Should do a SMcars Paint Job

You Should do a SMcars Paint Job

Maybe.. there's still time^^

But this is what ive come up with so far...

 

[V8-Cruiza]

i like your renders and your paintjob, but i think the reflections are too strong

 

[Astr0s]

Yeah, need to tone them down, havent yet.. texturing still a mad wip motion was added in ps

 

[rcat]

Nice stuff man. I reckon those front wheels should be turned out more. Could you get that to slide? I've never seen an actual Pikes Peak car in action
And hurry up and sort those rocks out , looks like its on the moon

 

[sergo]

looks aresome
now need to add dirt and dust and it will rock !

 

[metabadger]

A remarkable job. Excellent.

A couple of suggestions which may help. Your side view mirrors, although a total waste of weight for this type of racing, do add greatly to the appearance of the car. I think they should be scaled up 100% or more. Your shadows are killing that awesome body paint. Also watch the texture slide on the road edge.

Thanks for the feedback, duly noted all of those. Am going to scale the mirrors up and the environment is going to go through a radical change (probably going for gravel instead of tarmac). Working with particles at the moment to get some nice dust flying after the car (attached a wip view of the particles..). Also going to make dust & scratch maps for the body to add realism and add a driver (hopefully) & minor interior parts

A small render of the final track.. adjusting settings and textures still ;p

 

[Astr0s]

It has occured to me that cant finish this with the quality i aimed for

 

[Astr0s]

Since the poll's done i reckon i can post these here. Theyre not perfect but i dont know if i can be arsed to do it any further.

 

[Krystian]

These renders are amazing Astros! I'm sure you'd win with these

 

[Big Ron]

It´s great to see, what I could do with dad´s old VW

Really awesome work and work of detail 5/5

 

[metabadger]

Some winning renders AstrOs. I don't know if your as tired of this model as I am with mine, but if you intend to push it even futher I would mention a couple of things that catch my eye. Geometry nickeling in the guard rail. A hand on the steering wheel would help. The scale on your tex on the tail edge of the rear wing seems a little larger than on the front edge. These are little issues.

Great renders. Great concept. Awesome job.

Metabadger.

 

[Astr0s]

Yeah, issues that im aware.. the driver was a crappy quick model i made, its not biped or anything.. i just moved the vertices around a little The texture yes awful yeah, should've fixed that and the rail just had no turbosmooth on which made it look that awful..

but yeah, im quite tired, not that much of the car but more of the scene and hassle. Thanks for the feedback mate and congratz on the win and awesome model
