[Vehicle] - BMW Z4 by Dias

[lubiya]

very nice and clean model. can't wait to see the rest...

[Ifx3d]

are you using splines or something in Rhino?

can you show me a mini tutorial for getting those little circle indententions on the back of the car?

[Dias]

Rhino is Nurbs software (imho, the best nurbs software).

It's very easy to add many details (but so easy to make initial generic shape).

As far as that circles concerned, you have to project circle shape on the surface and that trim it. :)

[Helioz]

Extreamly clean mesh, great start. This one will look great finished =)

[vexal]

Thats really great great stuff, Tell me some thing about rhino, is it really that easy ......???

great going, keep us update :)

[Dias]

Easy? Not really. Of course as far as nurbs surfaces conserned it is easier than Maya Nurbs because this one has a lot of problem that need to be fixed.

Anyway, nurbs are not so intuitive as poly like. You need to study a little before make something good. As I said before, for example, it's very fast to add some small details, but not so easy to make initial surface. Another example, to make surfaces smooth you have to use Fillet, and it is not so easy, I haven't understant very well how it works (not yet). :\

[m4xm4n]

Dias, that z4 looks really nice. Very good clean shapes. Im trying to do some stuff with rhino too, but i haven´t sucseeded in doing anytihng good yet. Could you please show a wireframe from rhino? I would really like to see it.

[Ifx3d]

looks great dias thanks for the help you rock :thumbsup:

[Gal]

i had a bitch time doing that part in the back on mine, looks good. ..i sure hope you can render/lit as well as you model :) .. and give a great render to appreciate from all directions.

[neu]

Very nice start! I like the how clean is it! Subscribed :thumbsup:

Greetins, neu
ps: you're link are not working for the other threads

[beeper]

great job.
can you show a wierframe?

[Dias]

Here I am. :)

I haven't finish front part yet, but anyway I post it. If you see somethink wrong tell me. Tomorrow I'll post some wires (screenshot of curves).

looks absolutely great and absolutely smooth

keep it up!

[Dias]

Thanks :)

Another update, what do you think?

http://www.cgreality.com/screen/z4/10.jpg

[tomaa]

I love the car and I love your work, I am very interested in your progress... keep it up, and post some wires of the back of the car if you mind...


greetz

[Dias]

Thanks :)

I know, I have to post some wire screens, I'll do it as soon as possibile (it isn't so simply 'cause there a lot of curves that need to be group).

Anyway, can you tell me something about this front add-on at the bottom? Do you like it?

http://www.cgreality.com/screen/z4/11.jpg

Or your'e a ver great modeler http://cgtalk.com/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif

Can you send a wire-render?
I'm interested in the first three pics' details...
It looks very perfect!!!

[oethrunnar]

I juste want to say.... pffffff.:sad:

it's look very nice.... I want the same car... :thumbsup:

[tuanphong]

I need wire, please ... :bounce: :cry:

i have been modelling on Concepts Unlimited and now learning polygon modeling on LightWave. Concepts Unlimited is somehow similar to rhino, but i haven't ever done some great model like yours, i'm not so got in Nurbs modeling, can you post some wire screenshot, i would very appreciate that.

[paraglidepip]

that looks mighty fine bro! im a rhino modeller ,too,so i know how much pain in the a** nurbs can be ;)....y dont you post a normal rhino wireframe shot? that'd be the easiest!

[Dias]

I'm back. :)

Sorry for a "little pause" but I havent's many time because of work. Anyway, I've lost my file so I restarted this project one week ago.
Here are some little updates:

i think the brakediscs should have a bigger diameter..anything else looks fine!

[wybl]

Ow yeah, another Z4. Are these cars as popular as skylines and tt's? Very clean modeling man!! Are this some custom bumpers? Stock bumpers look different you know. I like it very much. :thumbsup:


l my Z4 ;)

[grimbeaver]

ooo quad exhaust... very nice! my friend had one of these... ended up selling it though. it was an awesome car though.

[nate10184]

Just wondering what method you were using to export out of rhino. Is it IGS or mesh. Looks fantastic so far. Thanks.

-Nate

[Mystikos]

Ah don't you just love NURBS? Something about using it makes you feel so elite.

This is coming along fantastically, or was until you had to start again. Fortunately it looks like you haven't given up so keep going and we're all waiting for updates :D

[furo]

lookin' very clean .. i like your modeling technique.. and nice to see Rhino user who can show some fine skill.. keep workin' , i'm curious for updates.. yeah.. definitely work more on tire, especially tread is really simple... i'm subscribed here;)

[Radiant]

Wow, that is really awesome :) Can u post wires? :)

[Dias]

[SystemofaDown]

Beutiful...a tutorial would be nice ;)

[Mortis]

This baby looks awesome. I thought NURBS - modelling already died out. I think I was wrong, but this technique seems to have its advantages.
Very nice, Im looking forward to see new updates. :beer: (misc.php?do=getsmilies&wysiwyg=1&forumid=0#)

[Gal]

great job with it.. are you going to do the interior too?
just wondering why you have modified it instead of using the original shapes?

i'm actually using rhino to do some of the interior parts with mine since maya is a piece of SXXT when it comes to complex fillets.

good luck rendering it well, hardest part.

[admiraligor]

WOW, incredibly good man, I am not a car guy at all, but I respect your modeling more than anything, it's incredibly clean.

[Dias]

Thank you guys for comments. :)

There are the last updates (I'm not going to do interiors), from now I'll spend my time for rendering.

[RedStarGraphics]

Very nice clean modeling there. To bad its not anything but rhino lol. Not a big fan of it.

[ranbby]

Wow, respect, it's just too nice to see. Great curves and clean topology.

unfortunately, it was modeled by rhino not by Maya, I haven't seen anyone modeled that well in Maya. it's quite frustrating thing to see.

in total3d.com there's a tutorial about the same car like yours. Did you make that tutorial or did you learn from it?

To model an industry vehicle , NURBS is almost a must to create good quality. but it's too difficult to do. I am fighting now in Maya.

Cheers. keep it up.

[Dias]

No, I haven't wrote any Nurbs tutorial and I learn Rhino by myself. :)

Here are some shader's test:

http://www.cgreality.com/screen/z4/z4_body_01.jpg

http://www.cgreality.com/screen/z4/wheel_1.jpg

[thehive]

very nice was it difficult setting uip up the curves also what how are you exporting the mesh or curves?

[Dias]

I'm exporting nurbs surfaces and then set up MR Tesselation, it works great.

Ah, I use STEP & IGES for exporting from Rhino to Maya.

[Evan Grant]

Beutiful...a tutorial would be nice ;)

*cough* 3d total maya section *cough*

And dammit I have a z4 on the go and it looks nowhere near that good or that clean...way to ruin my dreams by making yours so much better...>:(

[Sercox]

That's extremly a good and a clean model! Your detail-level is amazing...
Enjoying wathching it :)

-Robert

[Snecx]

Very fine modelling! This was one of the work that inspired to start with NURBS instead of poly. I'm fairly good with NURBS now but the filleting work is so hard!

I wonder if you actually use the Fillet or FilletEdge function or you manually fillet most of your edges? That's because filleting is the worst thing to be done especially on complex edges but everything on your model looks just fine.

[Pooyag]

that's unbelievable

[Dias]

Some updates of this neverending project. :)

yeah !! ! ! all is good for u , nice modeling, very fine, i 'm like yours modeling technique

the nursb/wire are perfect . . . .keep it up. .;)

[APOLLO_00_00]

the backround image is HDRI, right?? how do u make the hdri as a backround image??

[Pooyag]

wow...i really Like you Buddy:thumbsup:

[Dias]

Thanks guys

For HDRI I've used Maya IBL and Use Background shader, works very good!


Here are some updates:

[racer_f50]

Ralliart exhaust on a BMW? hmm.... according to their catalogue (http://www.poweraxel.com/ralliart/catalogue/) they only do Mitsubishi;)

Extremely good work on all the modeling, though, it's top notch:thumbsup:

[wybl]

absolutely terrific modeling, hope the rendering can keep up to that level. But its starting to look good already so i have no doubt this will become a killer. :D

[Dias]

Thanks you guys. :)

racer_f50, do you think that Ralliart is a bad idea? Which brand do you want me to use? :wavey:

[Snecx]

Nice to see you're still on it. ;)

Btw, how did you fillet most of your parts? All just by FilletEdge?

[Dias]

Times ago I've made a videotutorial about Rhino Fillets. Try to see it. :)

http://www.cgreality.com/tutorial/tutorial_fillets.avi

[Snecx]

Thanks Dias, I've watched the whole video and most of the techniques I have known. The only trouble I am having is to fillet where 4 edges meet together. Nevermind about it, I'll get my problems fixed soon. :)

By the way, may I know how it is possible for me to get the background? Is it just a HDR map? I'm very interested in such map where it blends so well together with the floor.

Keep us updated with more renders. ;)

[racer_f50]

Thanks you guys. :)

racer_f50, do you think that Ralliart is a bad idea? Which brand do you want me to use? :wavey:
For realism & accuracy, it's probably best not to use Ralliart because they don't make any parts for BMWs. (I'm just picky like that for my own works. most people would never notice)
Some companies which tune BMW Z4s are AC Schnitzer (http://www.ac-schnitzer.de/englisch/index.html) and Hamann. (http://www.hamann-motorsport.de/index_start.php)

There are of course more, but those are the first 2 that came to my head.

Don't mean to make a big deal, just want this to be the best it can be, and it's already close to perfect:love:

[kevindowns]

looks great :thumbsup:

[smoluck]

So you use Rhino to model, but maybe your skill was as good to help me on Maya nurbs modeling techniques. Please post a reply to my thread (http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?t=274612).

Really awesome work... Beautifull..like Shaddix :thumbsup:

[Dias]

Thanks for reply :)

I've made some adjustment to muffler shader, it looks better I think, and I changed brand texture. Tell me how it looks.

http://www.cgreality.com/screen/z4/marmitta_6.jpg

[cg-sammu]

woww~! nice job dude!
very clean modeling

[Pooyag]

impressive work......will you go for the interior?

[Dias]

Well, I haven't enough time for interior but maybe I'll do something simple so I can make my glass transparent. :)

Here is the wheel, what do you think about it?


http://www.cgreality.com/screen/z4/wheel_01.jpg


http://www.cgreality.com/screen/z4/wheel_02.jpg

[Dr. Ira Kane]

Wheels looks very nice ! NURBS ? :)

[Dias]

Yeah, entire car was made using Nurbs. :)


Some renders of wipers:

[lidingjun]

nice~~~~~~~~~~

[Morbid Angel]

Dias, great modling job. Really impressive. I would however suggest to try a different rendering approach then the so often used hdri. Maybe a fancy studio setup would be nicer?

Another question is, Im not so experienced with rhino, and wondering if there is any good tutorials you could suggest?

Thanks.

[Dr. Ira Kane]

So are the render times high Dias ? I remember modeling NURBS car some time ago and it was pretty heavy to render, polys were much more efficient, but of course they're less accurate.

[Dias]

Morbid Angel:

I thought about this too, photografic studio would be look much better. In this days I'll try different light setup. :)


Dr. Ira Kane:


Render times are ok. I mean, the longest one was that wheel wich took about 30min because it's full of blured shaders. The other renderings don't exceed 15min. :)

[87Supra]

Friggin great! That's the type of detial I go for but my computer can't handle the textures and reflections :(. I'm happy to see that you can!

Blake

[Pooyag]

i just enjoy watching your thread.....:applause:

[Dias]

Thanks :)

I'm going to replace that HDRI with photographic studio setup I'm working on because in this way I can create some advance lighting (another reason is because that HDRI is damn heavy, 40MB, MR is going out of memory very easy).


This is the first test, what do you think about it?

http://www.cgreality.com/screen/z4/studio_01.jpg

[Dias]

I'm still here and I'm still working on my "studio lighting". :)

http://www.cgreality.com/screen/z4/studio_03.jpg

[vexal]

thats looking cool, nice rendering, but i think its bit dark.



Great work. keep going :)

[Dias]

Thanks :)

I've added a little more contrast, how it looks?


http://www.cgreality.com/screen/z4/studio_04.jpg

[Morbid Angel]

Dias, I really like the direction you are going. This thread might be worth looking at (some professional studio setups)
http://www.maxwellrender.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5795&highlight=studio+lighting

[Ryuneo]

bloody awesome work, your an inspiration!

[thearchitect]

Looking good. I think the bottom section of the front bumper comes in to far. It is pulled back to close to the engine compartment. Also there some of the creases around the front door panel are do not extend to the front fender like it does on the real car. Look foward to see more progress

[Dias]

Hey guys, thanks for c&c. :)

I've made some improvements to the lighting, what do you think about it?

http://www.cgreality.com/screen/z4/studio_06.jpg


http://www.cgreality.com/screen/z4/studio_07.jpg

[Dias]

Thanks for your comment (I hope I'll finish it very soon). :)


I'm leaving that photografic studio for now, some metallic shaders doesn't look so good without a nice environment reflection, so for now I'm going back to HDRI.

Here are some test, what do you think about that chrome wipers?

i really love your renders....but i hate the way its roof changes to back window(excuse me if i'm wrong with the words)...maybe you should add more bump in between? or adding a plastical shape would help.....that's up to you, i'm not as cool as you in modeling, at least:thumbsup:

[Dias]

I've added some sort of plastic shape. :)

btw,could you please render an image off the back window?i mean around it...with a little fixed anti-aliasing?
anyway...Keep going:thumbsup:

[[.Q.]]

damn... it looks aww... great job man

listen stupid question.. i searched the net.. but didnt find any referemce
http://www.cgreality.com/screen/z4/19.jpg
or that white on white clay looking shader? with some very light blurred shadows.


i read somewhere you do a domelight and some white surfaces to reflect the light?

basicly how did you do the shader? and get those smooth shadows? did you use raytracing or shadow map...

thanks..
if you know of any tut for that lemme know
thanks again

[Dias]

I'll use a lot of AA in final renderings so don't worry. :)

If I remember correctly, for the screen you linked I've used a simple Lambert with few Area Lights (Raytracing Shadows on) and FG with environment color in camera. For last renderings I've generated dome direct lights to simulate sun lights. :)

Is not believable? :cry:

What would you like me to do to make it better? :D

[Pooyag]

i think you should match them up...in PS maybe....the car is too clean and the background doesnt have that much of sharpness
good luck:thumbsup:

[Dias]

Thanks guy

Well, I don't know how many hours I was working on this project, some month in free time. If I have to do it again, I think that 10 days would be enough.


Here is a wheel, what do you think about it?

totaly Cool Dude....how did you do those lights man? would you give us some clue or maybe a tutorial?:) That would be awsome
btw,would u give here a link of its finished work? Good Luck:thumbsup:

[Dias]

Thanks :)


The lights were very painfull, there are all modeled. :hmm:
If you wanna know how I made one in particular I can explane it. :)


Here are some prefinal renderings, tell me what do you think (I've added a little noise in Photoshop).

[karabo]

dude, I love your shaders with the blurry reflections. How do you get that blurry reflection effect? I've been trying to figure it out but I can't get it.

[Virdee]

This is really amazing, I love the ralli-art exhausts on the BMW!

I think a Z4 M-Powered version would look very similar to something like this! Any chances of seeing what's under the hood? :)

[karabo]

that's a hell of a model considering you did it with NURBS. Excellent work

[[.Q.]]

hi.. i would sugges slightly blurring the car since the image is a lil blurred

makes it look more real..

play with PS a little.

its amazing anyways

[Pooyag]

wow...cool,i'm gonna buy this Car....yeah....that's it,The Blur thing should work well
and Yeeees....i'll be happy and grateful if u explain the lights:bounce:

hey dias im gettin more into rhino an car design do you have a spicific work flow that you follow
as far an creating the curves , i was studing your curves to get an idea of your process you have any more wire frames we could take a look at would be greatly Appreciated. great work

cheers

[vexal]

Great work, you are making progress by leaps and bounds :)

one question, any tutorial u know about this type of rendering, i mean putting a car in a 2d scene or HDRI?

I know things theoratically, still working on my new car model, and i plan to do final renderings like this.

Any tutorial, or a small illustration, how i can achieve this thing. :rolleyes:

[Rebro]

Oh m8!!! That´s awesome. Perfect materials, lights, render.... well... now u can create interior :)

[Pooyag]

that's great dias, Really great....also more believable, in one word, It Rocks:buttrock:(maybe that would be counted as 2:D)

[Dias]

Thanks for reply :)

As far as my modeling tecnique concerned, well, it's difficult to explane. On first pages you can see some wire screen, and try to see this link:

http://www.carbodydesign.com/software/rhino-tutorials.php


And for HDRI, as I've explaned pages before, I've simply used Maya's IBL and Use Background plane. :)


http://www.cgreality.com/screen/z4/z4_prefinal_3.jpg

Great model ! It looks fantastic , but I have one critics. Your background photos are quiet blured and car is rendered sharp. If you sharpened photos, it will be look more realistic. It is only little help, for make it bit more realistic. :)

I mean this, this is your image image with blured map.

Argh, I like the last "glow" version, how did you do that? :bounce:
Seriously, I can't find any glow filter inside Photoshop. -_-'

For the second one, well, yeah, I think it looks much better. In the first picture I've blured the car a little to make it similar to background, but I see that Sharpen filter works very well. :thumbsup:


Thank you for your help :)

the glow effect is usually achieved by duplicating the base layer, then blurring the top layer (a lot), making it either "screen" or "overlay" and then playing with the opacity of the layer.

[rawwad]

I glad you like it. :D Yes in Photoshop are some glow filters which are very useful. And I also use technique which descibe mihkeltt. But it only little help, as a I said.

The last one is really too blurred!it seems a picture from marriage photo album!:)


anywhay that effect is given overlaying a blurred layer of the picture on the same picture,the effect in this case is too heavy in my opinion.(sovrapponi due layer uguali,e quello superiore sfuocalo un po con gaussian blur e rendilo trasparente intorno al 50%,o di più o di meno a seconda dell'effetto che vuoi)

i think you should use alpha channel to blur only the car without tricks,just some gaussian blur,but just a bit to make the car fit with the background!

[ajsfuxor]

[rybeck]

excellent modeling texturing and everything

but didn't you notice that in almost all of your pics the car is atleast two times as big as it should be.

compare the size of the tires with the ground patterns and you'll get an idea what i mean.

only exception is z4_29.jpg :)

work on the scaling and the pics will look 10 times as good!


keep it up!

Dias you should create some rhino tutorials for us begginers, because your car is wonderful
you should be very expierenced in Rhino.

You have exceptional skills at hard surface modeling. Your model is one of the best I've seen in terms of cleanliness. Overall your composites are very good as well but they aren't as good as your modeling skills. The only crit I have is to work on your compositing - the model is fantastic.
