Lots of talent here....heres sharing mine..



Some lowsy croppings and rojak res copy paste...

Eh, guys, im just accidently hit a key & the result hide the movement axis. Anyone know what is the shortcut key to enable it? Im using 3ds Max 8. Thanks

*yawn* balik-balik non-organic modelling...sapa ada buat character modelling tu post la sini...bosan dowh...

Got it already. Its a Transform Gizmo

hello to all 3D users,artists and professionals here
I'm a 3D artist specialized in mechanical and automotive modeling for next gen games
currently working in a 3D games development studio in KL
I seldom post in forums,I'm more towards a forum reader
but seems that the local 3D community has grown since previously and it gives great honour to me to join the crowd
the car models here are excellent. I do hope the car modelers could post some wireframe shots to be viewed

hello there smokey
its always nice to see a newcomer in 3D whos interested in modeling cars. however,before modeling a car,u must 1st understand the car itself.the fundamental of the construction of each cars differs from each models n makes.cars usually consists of a few major lines which defines its shape.the most important thing is to get the main shape correct first,the details e.g wheel arch, door trims, shutlines, vents & etc comes on the later stage.
if ur familiar with terms like spline cage or subdivision modeling, than the process might be easier and faster.
u seem to have chosen a good choice to model a boxy car.its a good training to get the right shape and proportion for a beginner
modeling a car does not come straight to 3D...the earliest stages determines the outcome of a nice and 100% accurate modeling...which are the setting up of the blueprints.but always bear in mind that blueprints are not 100% precise,only AUTOCAD files are 100% precise.so to ensure that u can model nicely and accurately,a nice large resolution blueprint and some reference photos are crucial.
i dont think i can cover everything by replying here, however if u really are keen in knowing more, u can PM/email me the blueprints of the car u are currently working on and search for more perspective ( 3 quarter ) and elevations jpegs of the car. I will try my best to assist you

cheers!

3 month ago car model.......





maranello55...nice design....I love the building like that......kinda retro futuristic which is my fav....

Why you guys so pro in interiors wan... currently I need to learn how to do real interior lighting

Anyway here's one of my recent 90% done work..



90% because no interior details and didn't make the car headlights yet


Done in Maya 8.5

The engine bay,& the tube type aerospace frame...

Wow good artists !!! I'm just learning 3d designing, now using GMAX.

Any ideas where i can get good concrete textures?

Great! Ive been sticking to a free site full of hi-res textures of everything....

Cgtextures

But there is a daily limit...but hey!

Ok guys / gals, i have 1 problem. Take a look at these picture.




The problem is in the 2nd picture where I highlighted in the red line. I can see the bottom of the building. It suppose cant be seen, but the material of floor a bit transparent. I use the background as Environment...and I use vray material.

Diffuse: 27, 27, 27 (RGB)
Reflect: 20, 20, 20 (RGB)
Ref. Glossiness: 0.8
Subdivs: 20
Max depth: 5

Refract: 0, 0, 0 (RGB)
Glossiness: 0.8
Subdivs: 50
IOR: 0.9
Max depth: 5
Fog color: 255, 255, 255 (RGB)
Fog multiplier: 1.0
Fog bias: 0

I hope someone can help me. I already post this problem at evermotion.org..so far no one answer. Thanks!

Hello i am an old user maybe so. Here's some of my previous works done it during my last project for my character modelling.



Just ok to me doesn't satisfy the execution modelling. model another character.. lol

while u guys are so geng, this is my first and only finished product after giving up my car modeling...hahaha...guess need to start from small...dont laugh...

everything starts from bottom. =)
good start

Added more detail lately.....

Cyprid ....nice modelling and GI too. Do u use any sort of Ambient Occlusion map or thats a pure GI?

This is a fantasy car? Coz that gear shifter position is slighty strange....lol.

Mind telling me what render engine do u use? Vray? Mind share the setting?

Actually it was default scanline render with standard Light-tracer setting.....& I put a skylight for rendering.....

lama dah tak buat 3d...after "retired" for a year...i'm returning to the scene...pls people, put some red carpet on...muahaha...

using 3dsmax7 and finalrender stage-1 v2...
