350z - DfntPntbll

[DfntPntbll]

Saw the blueprints in the group project sub forum and wanted to try it out. I am going to be taking my time on this so dont expect huge updates every day. I'll psot progress once a day, but how much will depend on how much time I have to work on it. Anywho, front so far. Hope you like it.

I still need to chamfer some edges like around the lip of the fenders, but that aside, any crits are welcome. BTW I am using my PC at work,.. the one in my profile is my home PC.

DfntPntbll hi.Do I know you?How you make you wire like that?Can you help me make my wire look like that.I did it sometime ago.

[DfntPntbll]

yeah you know me,.. from Threedy.com. and I just used this texture in a raytrace material in the diffuse slot and set to face map.

[Kujoe]

Hi hehehe I know :buttrock: Ok you have a good start.If you need help .I'm here

[HiLiFE]

good start men good luck

[DfntPntbll]

chamfered some edges and fixed some mesh errors.

I just noticed my bumper looks like it has boobs,... :buttrock:

[Kujoe]

Ya nice.lol .I tryed it .It didn't work.How you render it.I'm on max 5

huuu...looks like you don´t use symmetry. If you have a closer look at the front, there are some verts which aren´t symmetric. You should always use a symmetry modifier and model only one half of the car.

next point is that you´d have to space your edge loops more even. (i have marked you some things on your wire red = remove ; green=add)

the fender should bend in more (black line)

your wire renderings aren´t really bad but could be improved.
just setup a new "composite material"
as base material keep the standard mat
as material 1 add a new standard mat change the color and check the wire option for this material.
apply and have fun

Not sure what you mean by it looking like I didnt use symmetry,... its in the modifier tree. Thank you for your input, I'll correct the edges you pointed out as well as created the material you suggested.

Edit: I looked more at the picture and I think the reason it doesn tlook right to you is becuase of the "boobs" I mentioned before.

[TwoOneOne]

could be the "boobs" or it could be a messed up symmetry coz if you have a look at the blue line, you´ll see that you have an edge there on the left side but not on the right side.

perhaps you can show us more wires from different perspectives (or some front n top views)

[DfntPntbll]

yeah,.. its not there on the model, but it renders. that happens alot to me when I use that wire material that I posted.

[DfntPntbll]

I tried the material you suggested and it wont work with vray.

[TwoOneOne]

strange....perhaps you want to use mentalray or default scanline for your wires.

edit: or someone with some vray experience can give you more tips on how to improve those wire renders

[DfntPntbll]

I figured out why it did it,... I had a 5 sided poly. its fixed now.
