[webster]

Hey Great Tutorial !!

In Italy we say: Perfetto Bombastico :thumbsup: !!!



Did I mention my italian knowledge and the free time I have ?
Dias, are You interested in some translation support ?
Maybe also in German ?


Mille Saluti,
Antonio aka webster

Tutorial is very nice! I would like to translate it to Russian, once there's an English version %)

[eYadNesS]

Thanks for this tutorial Dias... I like it very much

Guys, you can use this for translation:
http://www.worldlingo.com/wl/pages/T1/G0/UP46167/P1/l/products_services/worldlingo_translator.html

And we wait until the original translation. :)

[xlong_maya]

Very cool !!
I love it!:bounce:

[GerhardC]

very nice,

will give it a try

[Dias]

Hi guys

I'm very glad that you like it because I've spent something like a week for making it.

Yes, it would be very nice if you translate it in some other languages such as german or russian (I have to translate it in english, I know).

[Undseth]

Dias: I loved you tutorial. I want to aks you about somehting. Please, can you write a little something here in this thread about working with the linear and exponential smooth method tool in Maya?

[peanut]

Great post

Dias you musta have worked like a gorilla to make this.

thanks

[flintB]

why translate it? it works just like it is. If there is a word we cant understand, we can babblefish it. The tools seem to be listed and there are LITERALLY step by step pictures.

I think your time would be better spent creating another tutorial of the same quality.

good job-and nice avatar!

[Dias]

Lol, gorilla. :cool:

I've changed the link in my first message, now you can find my tutorial on my site: www.cgreality.com

I've suddivided tutorial in 10 pages insteed of 7 because it is very long. :)

[PsychoSilence]

nice one ! can´t wait to have it in english ! it would be gorgoues, if you would translate it please.

psycho

[-=InQ=-]

So... ehm... What about translation? %)

[elektronaut]

nice tutorial! congrats! i posted it to learning-maya.com so they can put it in their tut-database.

greets
marco.

[Dias]

Thanks :)

This week I'll finish my exam so I'll translate it in english (and I'll make a pdf version).

[Busterblues]

Very interesting, I' ll do it!!

Bel lavoro, appena ho tempo ci provo!

[Jhavna]

Nice work! Can't wait for the translation... maybe I'll try to Babelfish it...

THANKS! :thumbsup:

Actually forget babelfish... let me quote you a translation:

Fairies double click on the name in order to open the property and set up Subdivisions 6 Width to and Subdivisions Depth to 2. Fairies a click on the written PolyCube1 and changed to the name putting something more recognizable

You're asking a lot if you need fairies to follow this tutorial ;)

[roger3d]

Great tutorial!

I'll try it when I have more time!

Thanks man!

[Dias]

Lol, Jhavna. :cool:

Are there anybody who know english very well and have some free time?
I've translated some steps of my tutorial but because of my english I think that there many grammatical errors (too many), so I want somebody to correct them. :blush:

[AcidX]

Hy Dias,

it's now position 2 in my favourite list quite after the NURB's Car Tutorial of gmax from highend3d.com ;)

AcidX

[Dias]

C'mon men, nobody?

There is Jhavna who helps me but I don't think that he would like to correct all tutorial because is very long. :shrug:

[PsychoSilence]

[NightCrawler3d]

[NightCrawler3d]

[Dias]

Oops, thanks, I fixed the link.

[PsychoSilence]

[love2exelere8]

[Ødb]

Thanks a lot Dias & translators for the 3 pdf. Your tutorial is really welldone and it possible to follow it just in seeing the picture. With the english it's a must.

Great job.:thumbsup:

[Julius]

thankyou, a job wd.

[super]

thank you. nice car!!
where is the part4 and part5 pdf......?
and what smooth you use....linear or exponential ?
thanks again.

[Dias]

Part 4 and 5?

Well, I need someone to correct them. :hmm:

As far as smooth concerned, I use always Linear at 2 level of subdivision. :)

[Dias]

Fiuu, I've finished to upload the last to parts.

Special thanks to Jhavna who helped me to translate them.:bowdown:

[Jhavna]

Couldn't have everyone waiting now, could we?

Hope it's clear enough for everyone. Tried to keep it as close to the original text as possible.

[Tooby]

Thanx!
This is the first time I have been able to do some thing smooth and with sharp edges. It was difficult to make the sharp edge in the middle of the hood (change from 3 to 4 edges). I use max but your advice for maya seams to work with max also.

A question:
- I think I have poor grafics on the plane where the blueprints are. Is there a way to fix that? (do you know even if you use Maya?)

As I sad before: Thanx for the tutorial :)

/Tooby

[wlidea]

For joannes:

Hmm, it's really strange that you can't download it, I can't get why.
Anyway, I'll send you that parts as soon as possibile.

[Dias]

Hmm, I have some trouble to send pdf to joannes_mai@yahoo.com.cn (joannes_mai@yahoo.com.cn) :\

[2xbo]

Ciao Dias. Dicciamo che non è male. Ma secondo me dovresti fare l´imaggini un po più grandi no?. Cosa ne pensi?.
Posso chiederti dove lavori?. Sei stato a lo IED?.

Buon lavoro Ragazzo. I render sono stati fatti in Mental ray?.

Saluti.

xbo :scream:

[2xbo]

Tra l´altro buon sedere de la tua ragazza (imaggine per cg).

[Dias]

Lol, io sono un insegnante di Rhino/Maya a Firenze (era giusto per cominciare), anche se quest'anno ho intenzione di fare un salto di qualità, per cui sto lavorando al mio demoreel. :)

Cmq per le immagini non saprei, se zoomi all'interno di Acrobat non ti basta? Dovrebbero comunque mantenere la loro qualità.

[Real_Vfx_Lover]

Your tutorial is great!!!
thank you a lot!
one question though...
where can i get references of back view?

[Dias]

Here is the blueprint I've used. :)

[joannes]

[Tooby]

Hi!
Your tutorial is helping me on the way to my first car in 3ds max (I know it is for Maya but it works for max to). It's quite easy to follow and it have really helpt me with the making of sharp corners. I have had big problems making the wheels but I think I am getting there next thing to undrestand is how to do tires with patterns. I few questins:

1. Most parts are mirrored when do you leave that stage?
2. Can you recomend a tutorial for rendering/lightning and textures.

Thanx again!

Tooby
(I attach a picture of my 350)

[guasto]

you have the best timing in the world!!! i was just looking for a tut for this very car! so far so good. i will prolly be posting along the process so i can see if im doin it right. thanks so much. :bounce:

[Zaren]

Im doing ur tutorial atm but im stuck at step 10-13 :| i just cant get it done :|

does someone have a clear picture (or file) how it is supposed to be done ???

[annaleah]

Bravo!!!Excellent tutorial!

[blueflame]

i realy need this i've search all the web for car modeling

[PhuongDPh]

Thanks for your tutorials http://forums.cgsociety.org/images/icons/icon10.gif
:banghead:

[mister_r]

i know i'm gonna sound like the total noob here, but where do i get the blueprints? the only ones i've found were all the views in one image file and i have no clue how to cut them up correctly (any ps tutorials?)
and once i have the files, how do i align them correctly in maya? calculating the aspect ratio of the images, creating equal planes and then aligning them via gridsnap would be my first idea, is that how you do it?
thanks!

[Sunil90]

Hi could someone plz upload the pdf's the previous links are all dead. Thanks.

[Dias]

I've updated the links. :)


And for blueprints: http://blueprints.onnovanbraam.com/

[nemuro]

Thank you very much, I needed a tutorial like this!

[sunilmk]

Just d/w the 5 pdfs & the
blueprint - LINK (http://www.the-blueprints.com/modules/bpview/bpview.php?nr=703)

Great Work
Gonna start Modeling right now


Please could make a Rendering tutorial ?

your BMW renders look so real :eek:
(If you hadn't posted the shaded pics,
would have said u got the pics from somewhere :) )

[dlhk_83]

thank you very much for your kind sharing of your lovely car modeling technique. I do learn a lot from you. Thanks dude. YOU ROCK :thumbsup:

[cheasie]

thank you for this tutorial, it will be very helpful!

[MrWaRrDoG]

Waw! extremely detailed and very easy to integrate in max as well... more more! ;) please PM me or add me to msn when you have made new tutorials

[tracer7]

So, when can we see a nice render from you, like your Z4?

I'm assuming you'll use Mental Ray right?

Thank-you for the tutorial, I might take a stab at it myself.

Cheers,
Palmer

[model481g]

I know this was alot of work. I was working on a model of this car in Lightwave with spline patching. The transition from the headlight indentations to the front bumper was giving me trouble. I'm looking foward to seeing someone elses way of going about it. Thankyou again.

[Pooyag]

great! i always admired ur modeling skills!

i cant get the links to work. your website is down as well at least for me.

thanks anyway, i cant Wait to have a look.:thumbsup:

[DaveMation]

Yep, I can't get them to download either...

[Dias]

Sorry guys, I'm changing my server/domain. I'll upload tutorial when I'll be at home. :)

[Dias]

Sorry for being late. I've updated links in my first post, let me know if you have some trouble. :)
