Ferrari 599GTB Hamann

That looks amazing! Looking at the smoothness I'd say it was nurbs throughout, but it's polys? Now even I would like to see some wires

dude that is some sick work, absolutely insane. now interior and some renders from you man

[element]

hey guys, thanks for your comments,

hi man, its not fair, you start in hi-end, only kidding, I think this car should be here check this I think this bumps are not good

and I wich you good luck with this beauty

Ye p2sta, i will model new tires the next days. this are placeholders and old ones. either kumho ecsta´s or hankook´s

wow element, i'm stunned by the quality but not surprised that you've done it again. my only possible crit is that the gap around the gas cap seems a bit large.

rodder

You´re right, checked the ref images again. will fix it...

Subscribing.
How long did it take you to model this?

oh let me think about it...perhaps 2 months

yo element, nice work there
but may i know whycha switch from max to maya, would be interesting to know

i switched from max to maya 1 year ago because we are using maya here at work. i use max and vray only for rendering.

very impressive work element. was this all completely modeled in maya? any chance of seeing the wires? hope to see some test renders soon.

completely modeled in maya (smooth 1 optimized), rims are nurbs. i had a CAD mesh of the stock car as reference.

here some wires...

updates very soon

This is fantastic!!

[cwikdahl]

element, are you saying that you're fiddling with vertecies at that density level?? Or what do you mean by "smooth 1 optimized"?

[BrokenBone]

I think he means that at some point for one reason or anothern he set the
iterations to 1 and then converted it to editable poly.

Possibly when all the work was done and there was some tricky seam\cut to do
and the higher density would come in handy.

And no, he didnt fiddle with that density level.

very nice modeling, but i spotted one thing

[rodderworld]

i think i see a few tris on your wheel just to check, since my memory of maya is bad, your wire is with smooth applied or is it that dense (yeah, it's the same question as cwikdahl)

regards,
rodder

[element]

no smooth applied...it is that dense

smooth 1 is adequate...

@younglion

thanks, i will check this

[cwikdahl]

So it's like BB wrote, kind of a multi level sub-d workflow with no going back: Start out quite rough, apply smooth, delete history, tweak/model at smoothed level and finally apply one iteration of smoothing for rendering?

It's something I've thought about but never tried for real.

[petter]

really great job...:love:

[lookdown11]

@bb and cwikdahl: no its wrong it´s real poly by poly

the wires are absolutly great!

updates very soon

I was wondering why are the rims so clean

anyway nice and clean wire

[element]

thanks X-Ice...

they have decent normal informations

[BrokenBone]

I've never tried slamming a 1 iteration smooth and making it an editable
poly, i think its something you do either when all the edges\seams are done
or before all the edges\seams are done, for instance, if you need to make
a tricky indent in the side of a car, its reasonable to do it for last with a 1
iteration smooth to keep surface continuity. but still i'd be hesitant for it :x

Anyhow, nice car element, what about some test renders? :x
