The last 2 shots are rendered with yafray with a Smoothing angle of 50 and 6 AA passes with 2 as a minimum. No fancy lightning tricks or so.

i'l texture it later this evening or this weekend.

Very nice. Looks like it should be red when you skin it .... :)

RED?! ARE U NUTS?! That so looks like it should be black and sexy.

What about Royal blue?

Those wheels are pretty bad =/ They are too low poly imo.

Nice model though and good economical use of polies :)
Posted 18 years ago2006-04-28 15:21:07 UTC Post #177248
The wheels are quite standard for games like Half-Life, the texture is going to need to do the trick.

Red for sure :)

Then again:

image / adjust / heu saturation

colorize

move the slider

and there is your newly coloured car in 3 seconds :) .

true. make it red so it can be adjusted. anything but white.

Well, i was thinking about a red, a black, and a white one. With the last one being in a BM theme.
Posted 18 years ago2006-04-28 23:50:43 UTC Post #177278
is that considered a decent car in the UK? I just google'd some pictures of it and it's pretty ugly. :/

Don't you be dissin' boxy cars!
Posted 18 years ago2006-04-29 02:50:48 UTC Post #177284
Pepper: I think the wheels should be 8-side cylinders, if that, instead of octagon shaped. That way you still utilize a similar number of sides but they actually appear round and will smooth out a bit better. Other than the tyres it looks good.

Should look great textured. Decent car, too.

Rabid: an eight-sided 'cylinder' isn't an octagonal prism?

Its an 8-sided cylinder rabid, i just turned it 22,5 degree so the flat side would be on the bottom. Looks more like a 6 sided one, i agree on that. :)

BM skin? Thats a bit stupid... How about a blue skin too. Wont really hurt.
Posted 18 years ago2006-04-29 14:07:52 UTC Post #177352
Bleu eh? probably so yeah :)
Posted 18 years ago2006-04-29 14:36:36 UTC Post #177358
is it necessary to do that many colors? just adjust the coloring in photoshop.

But, a BM and non-BM version of each one should be done.

I agree with both of you, il see how it turns out :)

I meant non-rotated :P - Cause yeah it just looks blocky.

Give the wheels an odd number of sides like 9 or so. Itll looks less like lug nuts sticking out of the sides.
Posted 18 years ago2006-04-29 16:52:31 UTC Post #177381
.....and some sweet flames, hydrolics, a tailfin, spinning rims, 1/2 inch tires, and a bumper sticker that says: "I brake for noobs"

here's how i did this:

http://www.sleepyghost.com/u6p/character_mapping_gmax.pdf

Well. 9 sides are definately a option, but its a pain in the ass to work with, neither will it improve the look and it will only cost polygons and rendering time.

I usualy work with 6,8,12,18,32.64 sides.
Posted 18 years ago2006-04-30 06:47:31 UTC Post #177464
Looks nice and even :) . Better then I could do. Never really got the hang of skinning :(
Posted 18 years ago2006-04-30 06:53:20 UTC Post #177465
You just got to pull out a few days to get the hang of it. When you got the basics then you'll be able to work on with it.

i'm writing a tutorial on uvmapping. describing a few different techniques in this and how you can use em to your advantage. Offcourse all in g-max.
Posted 18 years ago2006-04-30 09:25:22 UTC Post #177472
wow, that uvmap looks great! I'm stilling trying to get the hang of that, I'm having some trouple with the beemer and uv.. :
Looking forward to seeing the tutorial. :)

Make the wheels better and the model should really pwn :)

Me too. Might motivate me to start modelling again :D
Posted 18 years ago2006-05-01 10:15:56 UTC Post #177667
Any thoughts of a BM Motorcycle? Bus?

I'll probably model these later for my mod, but it should be in this little pack that's forming.

Maybe even expand the file and i could do fire hydrants, windows fixtures, plants, furniture, etc.

hm?

Hey Pepper, is g-max similar to XSI? Im having trouble getting the hang of UV mapping. Does that tutorial you gave also apply to XSI? Can I use it for objects instead of characters?
Posted 18 years ago2006-05-01 10:41:55 UTC Post #177675
Thats a good idea Rimrook.. Pepper, you and me should work on a BM pack. Containg high, and low definition models.

Rim unb, definately. Lets il send some PM's later to discuss this further.

Xyos, i have no idea since i dont use XSI. I dont like the feel of the program. You can use Uvmapping tutorials for anything you like, since its all the same.

On a other note: I'm having some trouble with the textures, il post a screenshot of it here later on. Its quite a pain in the ass to skin the lightning on cars.
Posted 18 years ago2006-05-01 12:40:56 UTC Post #177701
i was gonna put together a pack of models, that's why i suggested it. I get tired of downloading 1 model at a time, and finding that they suck. A good vehicle pack would be used by all sorts of mappers and modders.

As you can see im having great problems getting the lightning right, any tips would be greatly appreciated.

The sheen on the windows looks a bit sharp and creased.

Yup, i forgot to use AA when filling it up, that makes it very visible, especialy at low resolution (512x512).

its really good except for the wheels!
Penguinboy PenguinboyHaha, I died again!
Posted 18 years ago2006-06-22 09:11:35 UTC Post #186337
Yea... It wouldn't hurt too much on adding more polies to the tyres.
Posted 18 years ago2006-06-22 09:23:47 UTC Post #186338
you wont notice that much onec he adds a round wheel texture

Posted 18 years ago2006-06-22 09:24:14 UTC Post #186339
I'll be fair and square here, my tires are absolutely amazingly utterly ugly crap.

alright, i've said it.

Even though most modelers find it the best part of car modeling.

The lights are abit strange but the actual texture looks ok, but perhaps abit too clean if that.
RabidMonkey RabidMonkeymapmapmapfapmap
Posted 18 years ago2006-06-22 15:35:38 UTC Post #186419
Yeah, definately to clean. And indeed, the lights could be a bit lower. There's going to be some sort of grate between them though.
