Nissan Skyline GTR

[XCNuse]

looks extremely boxy and doesnt flow, you also need to chamfer some edges that are around sice you just intruded the seems into the car, but .. your getting smooth edges, get some reference pictures and look at the shape of the car, because it looks like you just went straight off blueprints, and when you do that, you dont get an accurate shape

[TnB]

Some pepole said that that is too round,now you say that is boxy..,my opinion is that is just how i want it to be.i have worked with blueprints and didn't follow every detail as you can see,i like customizing,and i have all reference pics i could find on the web.the car is made out of parts,just like the real car,and i will work more on some areas,like the hood and rear bumper. the spoiler has been changed,and headlights too.but,maybe i didn't understand what you wanyed to say,please circle the areas that seem wrong and that need changes,and post it ,so i can see .Thnx for the comments!

[XCNuse]

well no point really lol, the box things are all of the intakes, those have way to hard edges, but ya (wasnt looking at rear pictures) it is.. Waaaay to round in the rear

here is a .. somewhat okay reference picture for how incorrect your rear is
http://www.broemmler.de/wallpaper/R34-021946_47.JPG
just about everything in the rear sections need to be sharpened

[TnB]

lool!i used that reference,the back sharpness varies from model to model,but i like it a bit more round[isn't hard to sharpen...] the back isn't finished,will be sharpened a bit,and the gaps look that that sharp because they are a little too big,specially in the front area,near the headlights[will be corrected!]thnx again!

[AdamHerbert]

Hey man, I love Skylines and your model looks good so far.

A little tip, try rendering the whole model from perspective views as well as orthographic. I can't tell if the camera is distorting the model or that's what your model really looks like.

The back does look a little to rounded, but from what I can tell the front looks pretty good and the headlights are solid. Keep it up, can't wait to see this finished!

...that it's looking pretty good, now! A full-body 3d ortho render would be nice though, and a better guage of it's shape. I look forward to seeing your progress, keep at it!

i have been trying to figure out how to do a silver paint like yours, how do you do it. i really just need a kick in the right direction not necessarily your settings

[TheApostle]

Dude, this is looking soooo nice. The paint tests look great, but I was wondering if you planned on putting some carbon-fiber trim on any of the parts. I think that it would look really slick if you added some nice cf touches. :)

[TnB]

thanks,will put some carbon fibre,im still working on the body,have to make some new rims,im kinda skow,i know...
about the paint,ill be more than happy to help anyone;not so long time ago i was like that too, searching some help about the silver paint.in general its about experimenting and after you set up your scene ,hdri etc do a lot of rendertests and "calibrate" your material see how changes affect the result.for now get the mr carpaint shader and experiment .
hope this helps..

[nerv333]

Everything is looking great. Would love to see all the pieces put together so that I see it all together. Would also like to know about what kind of settings did you use for the wheels, tires, and car body.

[TnB]

soon the other parts,but wgat about the settings?
