Above and beyond vehicle/character

[rizob]

allright i finaly came up with an idea, i think ill make him a cab driver, flying through illeagal borders, in his junkyard sky caddie. ,
if i get time ill model the mechanic driver guy, sorry for the poor quality, i dont have a scanner so i took them with a video camera, anyway just a 2 min sketch, ill redoo later, just had to post my idea

[rizob]

here

[visualboo]

Yeah, sweet concept.

[rizob]

just thought i would throw up a post before bed. i tried a number of techniques, but good old poly modelling came through, i might split up the panels later on, any way just a start, cant wait to see where it goes, let me know what you think
untill next post
peace

[skidd]

yeah man, really nice based graphic, in my brian i can see this model ended, this will be great :)

[Montparnasse]

Ummh.... I like that idea very much, you can make such an incredible 'hot-chair' out of that...go on, man

Greetings

[clockwerkz]

That is some great modeling. :-) The paneling on the car is looking SWEEET. Can't wait to see more!

What method are you using to model?

cW

[Martinos]

sweet dawgie this looks nice..

maybe a small tip:
Make the exhaustpipes at the side a bit bigger so u could make some gnarly flames and smoke come blazing out the side..

awesome start.. btw

Hey ...really cool style!!! i love this car!!!
Ragnarok is right! Put some bolts to make it more "homemade"

[fellah]

where are you rizob!? updates, updates! :)

[rizob]

what upp. thanks for lookin out for me fellah, ive been slackin lately, or at least slakin on this comp, i am moddeling a downtown city block, and a mars rover. ill be done with those soon so i can hit this bitch full speed. heres a small update, i put a prop sticking out, and i may model an old man cabbie, as apposed to the mechanic. anyway i will post soon

[rizob]

i think im retarted i forgot to post my pic, crits welcome

[fellah]

yea, kewl idea with the big propeller!
but don't the landingGear have to be _very_ big now when the propeller is? elseway the propeller will get smacked into the ground when trying to land.. well, I'll guess I'll have to wait and see what you have in mind :)
hope you'll finish the other stuff you're doing soon to so we can see more updates from you,
I really like this entry as you know :)

[mv]

I agree with fellah for the landing gear; but other than that it Rocks!:airguitar

[tascitus]

great stuff, progressing nicely.
on a vehicle like that i can see all kinds of street rod style landing gear setups. :buttrock:

[urgaffel]

Great looking entry. I'd suggest some scavenged jets instead of the prop. It just doesn't fit... Really good work though! Keep it up.

:thumbsup:

[DimitrisLiatsos]

:bounce:
Great looking proppeler but as fellah said u will have problem with your landing gear!

Update:bounce: Update:bounce:

[OZ]

YEZ!ur fly car is SWEET!i love the modeling and the design too....:thumbsup:

[rizob]

back in it to win it sucuzzz

[rizob]

another view i figured instead of one big propeller, a bunch of little turbines, spun by the huve v-8, altho less realitstic, i didn't want to go with a jet engine, so if this isn't enough power, ill add tubines later, i also have to stap the turbines to the car:beer: :beer:

[WiltedEnds]

that.... :buttrock: :buttrock: :buttrock:

[espaki]

Love yo work rizob. also love the render style - is that toon shaded, reflective AND GI that I see? I will be keeping my eye out for your next updates.

-Nate

[3D Freak]

Yo Rizob- That shit Rizocks!!! :buttrock: Your style is very unique... cant wait to see this one finished. Keep up the great work! :thumbsup:

[road]

WOW!!!!
don't know how i missed your thread but this is incredible !!
I love the style you are using here....
Great job can't wait to see more...!!

[danny123]

I believe this is my first post but im very curious about something. How do make those panels on ur car. Im making a 1988 Mclaren F1 car. Im poly modeling it, but i wonder how you made those panels. Maybe I can do that to add more detial to my car, which is very early progress.

[DimitrisLiatsos]

:bounce: Cool ...one of my favourites!!!
I must also that i like it more that i like it a little bit with more light as in the one before your last pic..it shows so much more your modeling details.

:thumbsup:

[Lorenzo]

, this is looking great, and very nice concepts sketchs and modeling.:thumbsup: :applause:

[rizob]

i just started to work the cockpit and rear end areas, and for danny 123, i would not recomend the way i moddeled this for a realistic model, i poly-modeld this for a more cartoony look, i would probably stick with quad patches or nurbs,and make it pannel by panel from a diagram. again i polymodeld the main body by regular extrusions, scaling, and cutting up polys, then just add the detail, anyway i hope your all digging this,
throw me some feedback
peeaacce:beer: :beer:

[rizob]

another pic i made the hood orniment, but its black sorry:shrug: i think its nearing completion, some fuzzy dice, then ill probably texture him , peacee

[fellah]

really good model! it actually looks much better without the propeller imo.. the last render looks.. hm.. weird though.. although it's nice.. but it looks.. you know? :)
I prefer the renderStyle of the first 3 renders on the previous page..

anyway it's the model that's the important thing, and it's one of my preferers in this challenge, kickass!

take care

Really ..how much is the rent for one week's ride in this baby...
Too cool vessel!!!

P.S :...My girlfriend just said she like's the colour...


;)

[Paul V]

very good design rizob!!! like very much the cartoon style...

time to start the pilot???

[otacon]

This is some great stuff. Superb design.:thumbsup: I cant find anything to crit.

[espaki]

Looking good as always. I agree with the crit on the render style but i'm sure you will fix it for the end pic. You also might want to update the seats, but i'm sure you already planned that.:D

...i'll be watching for more updates:eek:

-Nate

[eagle300]

SWEEEEEET! now all ya got to do is get a babe sittin on the hood!

[CHRiTTeR]

I agree with eagle300 :drool: :D

[eagle300]

BTW, are you using cell shading? whatever you're using, could you post the settings? it looks awesome!
tj

[rizob]

eagle, i drew a little diagram for you. i just use this technique to show off detail, and give it some style for this comp. just render two passes and mess with the layer opacity and overlay modes.
i forgot about landing gear, ill probably spread the wheel base out aliitle more but just thought i would update

[rizob]

heres the result

[dmonk]

I love the design man.

Next post can we get a different angle?

This is ine if my favorite entries.:bounce: :buttrock: :wavey: :thumbsup:

[CHRiTTeR]

And some basic texuring maybe ... :)

[Fetus23]

Hey rizob!..I never noticed you were a digital fetus, cheers to that :) :beer: Your machine is looking really great. I actually liked the propeler idea but those turbines will work just as well. My only crit at the moment would be the landing gear. It looks off balance, maybe bring the front wheels closer to the front. Other than that this is looking really nice. Waiting for an update!! Have you plans for a cool cat to drive this thing??

fetus

[rizob]

i jst thought i would try some flashy reflections, i want two make rusty metal but the no texure rule (might anyway), fetus23:you are right about the landing gear, i think it would be coolto make it a lowrider so ill probably do is angle them out and forward,

[mv]

holy **** those latest renders are neat; great style rizob.

[CHRiTTeR]

Do you have a bigger verion of those last renders?
Can't see the detail very clear...

:applause: :thumbsup:

[skunk184]

very cool design and model..............nothing else to say

i hope this works

[espaki]

nice! you pulled through with it. I like it a lot, but those final renders are a little too grainy and hard to see for my taste. you should post a couple clean ones.

overall - :beer: :beer: :beer:

-Nate

[MikeRhone]

For sure. GI is nice as long as you tweak it. There is no Get->>Primitive->>AmazingAssLightingRig feature yet in 3d software. I would hate to see a nicely modeled and designed model like this get knocked just because of a terrible render.

Up da photons

Mike R

[eagle300]

hey, did you use separate splines to make those panels on the hood or are they part of the box modeling? what about the bolts. are they seperate primatives or part of the panels?

[tubby]

yeah this is a great model! i like the renders too:)

[Ech0]

whats the program of choice and what render for your standard gi and toon shader what type

[fellah]

the model is _very_ nice!
but those last renders is not so nice imo.. they don't show your model as I think it deserves.. to much grain, and the second one is to dark so we can't see all the nice modeling. I think you did better before..
it's still the modeling that is important and there you did very well(one of my favs!) but it will be hard for ppl to see that now..
hope you change it in the future because that model really deserves it,

take care
// fellah

[Zardoz]

I surely agree with fellah...your model has a very good style, but the renders are as good as the model. You should do other renders, from different angles and with different lighting setups. That would be very good.
