Bmw 2002 - Desert Ride

[Briktop]

Hi everybody,

I would like to share my latest personal CG animation project of the Bmw 2002.

It's one of the great classic cars from Bmw that i enjoy for a long time, and so, i decided to make a full CG animation shortfilm of it.
Done with 3dsmax, Vray, AfterEffects and Premiere.

Hope you like it.

Overall, it's pretty nice. But there some critical stuff that take away the realism you were trying to achieve. Portuguese license plate is stretched and too big; Lack of brake caliper (?); higher TS iteration in close-ups; driver could have had a little big more attention, specially when he appears in the mirror; the car appears to be flying sometimes; suspension animation is unrealistic; camera work could be a lot better, etc. But for a 1-man project, I think it's pretty nice, I like the post a lot.

beyond car's physics, Its an EXCELLENT animation, lighting and mood, I love your style! How long did it take you working on this?

[Briktop]

Thank's for the comments guys, apreciated!!!

PBenjamim: Don't want to be rude or arrogant or harsh or nitpicker, etc... But is this yours? http://vimeo.com/25040467

EquiNOX: Men, this was a very long and pashed heavy project, with a lot of breaking points done has kind of a hobby and it took me about 6 to 8 months being 2 to 3 just for rendering. Reliefe that it's finnaly done.

@Briktop - I'm Pedro, not Paulo, that's not mine. And I didn't want to be rude either, I loved what you did, just pointed out small stuff that could be improved in my opinion.

PBenjamim: Pedro, Paulo, whatever... I made my point. For who started 3dmax a year ago, you sure know a lot in the game to nitpick other's work. I could be here all day justifying myself in response to yours nitpick's, but before you i've been there, done that and what i can say is that everything you pointed out it's not quite true. Every possible detail i did in this work was based on real life details wich did take lot of recearch first, so... i don't need you to come here and enumerate all you can think of that it's possibly wrong. When you finish modelling your first car then we will talk. Don't get me wrong, but before you speak you must raise your hand, and that's the way it is.

Alias: God, i want this car so bad!!! The photos are awesome, good job!

AWESOME stuff you got there couldn't do better my self lighting is just perfect though i have to agree about the car dynamic sometimes it feels off just out of curiosity how did you rig your car?

[PBenjamim]

Briktop: That's why it's called opinions. You don't have to agree with it, and can simply ignore it, instead of arrogantly answering like that. I'll still think what I wrote above, independently of my work experience or not. If you think that's not true, good, it means your work has some solid foundations. If you don't like to accept critiques, even if they're valid or not, and receive opinions from people that might be, or not, more experienced than you, then don't post your work on forums, where people are able to freely talk about it. Anyways, still a good job, lovely to watch. Out.

[Briktop]

PBenjamim: Absolutely right, didn't say the contrary, it's a forum... Everydoby can give opinions, critique and also nitpick. You will learn with time the difference between talking about it and actually doing it. It's not so linear as you think. Thank's again.

3davt: Thank's men! Yes, i wont say it's perfect of course, but it was the best that the plugin could produce. I've used craft animations.

[Duron]

Really great animation man, the only thing which bothering is, that the car doesnt run smoothly, for me too much turbulent. other than that, well done!

[Briktop]

Duron: Thank's! Yes, i guess it turn out a little bit exagerated, i wanted to give that feeling of old eroded road to gain more suspension interaction from the car.

[DaveCox]

Very nice work man!

We all loved it at the studio!

[3davt]

Briktop: why don't you rig a car yourself? you get much more control and plus its possible to set-up ground detection so wheels wouldn't leave the surface unless you want it i can send you a rig if you wish
