Howdy folks im fed up with doing my Uni work so i thought i would post what i have done for all of you guys to see :)

1stly i had to write a Research paper on Concept Cars and how it can be linked to games (Harder than i thought as research was minimal) so that was a good 10,500 words for that!!

Then for my 'Project' im modelling a 3d Concept Car that i have designed myself.

So 1st my drawings

 

FRONT + REAR OF MY CAR (ROOFING WONT BE SO ROUNDED OR ALIEN LIKE)

TOP AND SIDE (SHOWING AEROPLANE ELEMENTS AS INSPIRATION)

3/4 SHOT AND GULLWING DOOR WITH AGGRESIVE FRONT

1ST STAGE OF 3D MODEL BEGINNING WITH DOOR

FRONT ARCH IN PLACE (NEEDS MORE ROUNDING I KNOW)

FRONT AND SIDE AFTER 3HOURS OF MODELLING!

 

This so far has taken me 3-4hours and once the back end is done i will begin putting in the detail in the doors, front etc. so hopefully tomorrow i will have some good fresh updates for you all! Im hoping to have this entire model completed (may do interior i have 1 made but its sh*t) by the end of the 17th of April (7days doing it in total) So daily updates should be available!

 

For level of detail at the moment! To measure the unit is by the amount of Squares (polygons) the car is made out of and Gran Turismo 5 each car is around 250,000 polygons in detail!! My car at the moment stand at 8,000 when mirrored across and made into a whole car. So i have about 30x more polygons that i can use :) :)

 

Have fun and enjoy :)

Looking good buddy.. very good.. keep putting up the pictues

very interesting mate. will be good to see what it finishes up like.

clever bugger!

clever bugger!

 

yeah!!!! what he said!!

 

looks good.. keep up updated, very interesting

Nice one, looking great. What course is it your doing ?

again good work , and seems complicated , :confused:

 

keep us posted:)

Is that going to be the 390 zed ?

Good work there buddy :)

Good work, but something about the shape reminds me of an Austin Princess.

Looking good bud! Very clever indeed! Keep us posted on your progress as I'd be very interested in how this turns out...

Been a busy little bee today! Had a nice drive in the sun for abit, and then did around 6hours of modelling!! Here is where i stand!! (The wheels i had previously made for another car and felt they suited so that saves me a few hours on modelling new wheels) Feel free to comment :)

 

Front Arch Adjusted to Fit wheel and Began on the Windscreen and Roof

 

Modelled Behind Rear Arch and Finished Roof

 

Rear Arch Completed 3/4 Front View

 

3/4 Rear View of Rear Arch and Arse

 

After an Hour of Tweaking anf Fine tuning + Door Window

 

Full Car From Behind (Dont ask what happened to the roof lol)

 

Top View to be compared to Original Concept Drawing in Picture 2

 

Tomorrow should be sorting out the roof then will probably start with modelling the front Headlights, and grill (not texturing till last) then The Rear Details and might whack an Exhaust on

 

Enjoy

 

Munny

I think it would look nicer with the arches blending into the body more, they look too protruding to me.

 

Cool work though, looks very hard

Me again!! Oh My God we had a power outage last night around 8pm! Checked the fuses etc all gone to hell! No idea what happened and Electrician said Fuse board had gone or some s**t! 2years iv been here not 1single fuse blown then this on final weeks!! Just got power on around 20mins ago!!!

 

Anyways Didnt get uber amounts of work done yesterday had to attend to the missus but will be cracking on hard today!! Anyways Here you Guys Go!

 

Gull Wings Door Fully Workable with Insides to the doors! Interior not in place thus why a hug whole in the car as polygons are only facing one way not double sided!

 

Mini Spoiler in place just to make the arse seem less Rounded and Hatchback like.

 

Headlights and Grill (Well where they will be anyways!)

 

Will be tinkering with the bonnet and doing the rear lights, exhausts and diffuser (as it needs work) do the windows properly and then i think im ready to start texturing everything which is when the car will really come alive!!

Texturing might not being until tomorrow though we will see!!

 

Enjoy!!

 

Munny

Really coming along now , and looking good! (amazing what you can do if you know how:D)

 

looking forward to the next batch;)

 

chris

looking lovely!

Howdy Folks, Another Daily Update for you all! Doesnt look like i have done loads of work but i finished the back off (Looks like a face lol) and when i mirrored my half across if f**ked loads of stuff up so spent around 2hours fixing the door, Rear light and Rear Grill!! Was an absolute pain in the ass! was concentrating so hard my eyes hurt and i got a headache lol! Had to lie on my bed for 30mins before i felt better!!

 

Exterior Modelling is pretty much finished now YEY!! Got my interior to finish (Might leave it out) so i have (UV Mapped) the car which is basically a map for a texture so when making a texture i can lay it on a Flat picture of the whole car so everything can be textured from 1 picture which i will be doing in Photoshop! (if that makes sense to you guys)

 

Yes i know it looks like 1 of the ghosts from pacman!! What look like eyes will be my rear lights (Aston Martin Rear lights Yum) and the Mouth will be a small rear Grill matching the front grill! Also Note some Exhausts ;)

 

Top Side shot here to see the car as a whole with Indents for Glass roof to show off the engine.... which i never made :( Will figure something out though) can hardly put a c20let engine in their i modelled in my 1st year of uni lol!

 

Finally My Fav picture of them all! Pure sex in this picture!

 

So by next update... around same time tomorrow the car should no longer be purple but looking like a real car hopefully! Then write a few pages on how my research influenced my work then onto my Final Assignment which i will have 10days to do then i finish Uni FOREVER!!!!!!!!

 

Enjoy

 

Munny

woo... no more uni.

 

what after uni?

woo... no more uni.

 

what after uni?

 

Not to sure yet :( Seeing what takes my fancy really!Cant wait to Earn some decent money though!!

 

Got a job interview in 2weeks for a Government job working in Architecture! As far as i know an artist gives me his Detailed drawings and i make one to the same spec in 3d, whip up a quick environment to suit it and pass it on to the next stage!

 

Also got a job interview at an Arnold Clark (Motor Store thing) at the end of the month as a Car Sales Exec! But keeping an eye out for more just in case :) If neither go well and i dont get something after Uni ends i will be able to go almost full time at my current part time job.... which is............... Bingo!! lol!

 

Will be moving in with the GF once my Contract at my house expires then saving up to Buy a house or Rent Something bigger!

 

Thats the plan :)

 

Munny

New updates! Almost Finished just a few tweaks then some Animation for making a video (will have a couple) then all finished! Here is how she looks (Texturing is my worst bit of everything i do)

 

Single render with no lighting so Red looks crap!But headlights + Grill in place

 

Pretty much done will have some glamour shots when i figure out a good lighting Setup! Best pics will be coming soon!

 

Enjoy!

 

Munny

 

Should have the rest finished by tonight (1day ahead of schedule)

Wow looking good , and cant wait to see the final rendering , been cool watching it from scratch

 

Chris

Mate, that looks quality! And you've done it all so quickly as well!!

 

Good luck for after uni though mate...but make sure enjoy the summer after finals, etc...you'll miss it when its gone!!

Rendering off 2video's 1 is a 360 view of the car around 20seconds this is estimated at 5hours rendering time on 2x1.7ghz processors!

 

Second video is an in action shot to resemble what it could look like in a game this is being done across 2 computers 1 with 1x3.6ghz (estimated 7hours)and the other 1x2.8ghz (estimated 12hours) doing 10seconds each LMAO!!!

 

If you think those pics look good you will be shocked at these new ones! But i will keep you guys waiting till the vids are rendered! Will post up Pre- After Affects and Post - After Affects so you can see the difference some Video Editing makes :) Off to sleep will be up in 7hours :( See how much is finished :D

 

Night all

 

Munny

thats some work there mate so far, and some processing power:eek:,

 

looking forward to the next instalment and the vid if it's not too much to post :D

 

Chris
