Mercedes (56k Warning!)

[IchI0]

yo, I have made yet another car. I have been kinda inactive over the past couple of weeks with models mainly because of the u know what. But I finally managed to get pictures of my Mercedes up. If you have any questions about the model or any questions for me plz ask away. Comments would be nice but mainly I am looking for anyone who can spot problems with it that I havn't noticed. See if people like it etc... I am not in a mod team and could be looking for one, but most good ones are full now so ;(

Anyway here are the images (sorry about the size I run my computer on high res and they only look small to me)

so..... ask away?

whoops, i voted crap, get AWAY! I mean Insane except i think you could do a bit more work. The only thing that looks a bit off is the front fender, i personally think that it comes out just a bit too much. But it look pretty awesome!

 

[IchI0]

do u mean the front grill where the fans are on a car, just above the bumper?

 

[simon]

no, the front bumper that hangs so low on the ground, that's what he means, and i'v got to say i have to agree with him, it's a bit TO long

but the rest of the car ownzzzzz
GJ ! :cheers:

if u look the car is actually like that. Its the old la mans 24 hours mercedes car, Also used to be used in toca. Here is a picture:

yea, i thought it was like that, well untextured it looks a bit weird, so i'm sorry for my previous comment, nice job !

 

[IchI0]

np, my aim was to make a nice car obviasly. But I made it as acurate as possible. I will put some materials on it tonight make it look a bit more respectable.

very good! I want to see it textured! lol What technique do u use for car modeling?

 

[mindless_moder]

i think u used ur nice mesh modeling style ...very ncie work here jus one thing i can say is that the borders for oyur windows are too edgy.
cant wait to see some shellac material or maybe sosme raytraced reflections or something

There's no B pillars.

Very nicely done. The only thing that I feel could use some work is the polygon distribution; the hood has far too many polygons compared to the rest of the body. You could save plenty of polygons there and end up with a cleaner and neater mesh in the process.

I started of with 1 polgon, made from a line. I turn it into an edible polgon and start to extrude it around the car. I normally start with the rim of the front wing (around the tire)

I havn't actually finished the winows and rims yet and they where a bit rushed because I wanted to know what people thought of it. You can actually tell because the side windows have no poll in the middle and no blacked out top etc...

The polgon distribution is worked from the rim of the wheels. If I lowered the rim of the wheels polgon count there would be less polgons on the hud. I always do it this way and like to keep a flow of polgons all over my car. Even though it adds to the polgon count I would rather have this than mess with having a messy wing and hud.

A pillars support the windscreen. C pillars support the rear windscreen. B pillars support the roof behind the front doors.

yeeee I get what u mean now. As I said to the other guy its I rushed the windows and they are not finished yet. Its hopfully gunna have an interia etc... when I have finished. I just need to do some racing car interia research. Also get the underbelly of the car done.

hmmmmmm....... I might be interested. But no in 3d graphics, well could do some work. But you obviasly will not know this but 4kings (cs team) hired me to make there CS movie. The movie was going to be published inside pcgamer as well as on the front cover and some other mags. It was really weird and I was going to get payed for doing it. Basiclly what I am saying is that I am pritty good at video editing. I started take3.org but by the time we had the site and everything going I stopped video editing and movied onto 3d graphics shoalin (maker of 4kings rtcw used to work for me, now he runs shoalinproductions and I do some graphics for them every now and then). Its actually pritty kewl because I set up the rtcw movie with 4kings and now look how big its got, it was on fileplanet (front page) and everything, but all credit goes to shoalin because the movie is truly amazing. Prity kewl tbh. I stopped because I got a bit bored. I mean it was fun. But I wanted to learn something else. If you wanted me to work on editing I could if you like... I also might be able to get some other people. I work with vegas not premiere. Mainly because premiere is crap. Its like 9am in the morning and just got to school so dunno if I am making sense because the hamster hasn't started running yet. But contact me on [email protected] or you can fild me on quakenet at #steampowered #shaolinproductions

Looks neato there IchI0....cant see any errors.... looks plain nice....what method did you use for the modelling?

If you still are looking for a mod, Hostile Freedom could use one like you for the vehicles....Wont be sportscars or that kind of stuff, but we are talking futuristic stuff.... both flying driving and sailing.

check the link in my sig for more info.... you can also mail me on [email protected] if youre interested..otherwise just post in the forum.
