View Full Version : My Fast
XCNuse 06-09-2006, 03:09 AM incase none of you know what i am talking about, VW gave away 600 "fasts" to the first 600 buyers of the new VW GTi (only in america though)
anyways, i decided to model one for the heck of it, and i plan on doing more; im not 100% satisfied with it, there are a few bumps i need to figure out how to fix, but overal im quite impressed with it
im also not sure of its overal shape since there are extremely few reference shots, and the few that there are.. are extremely low quality
if you still dont know what im talking about, watch the first 4 commercials on google video here: http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=vw+fast
if anyone can spot any problem spots, please say so!
(this unfortunately i have to say is my 2nd completed object that is not a car)

LMAO! I've always wanted one of these! lol. Especially when they debuted the 'Fast' commercials way back when.
You're doing a good job so far... keep it up! :thumbsup:

also, just a little info on the critter, i found out today what it really is, if you dont want to know, just.. dont read what im about to say lol its a rabbit
the reason being, way back when when the first GTi was produced, it was based off the VW Rabbit chassis, and so they are going back with the fast (and also the seat material ;) )
anyways, my idea for what i want to do with it, is have it just sitting there.. chillin like a villian like always lol, and have the GTi wheel and tire in the background there just doing a burnout with smoke like everywhere
anyone have any other ideas?
edit-.. sweet.. this forum has cool spoiler functions lol

Is that what that thing's supposed to be? LoL... I suppose it makes sense... I do remember the original 'rabbit'.
Interesting factoid.

LoL.... you should render one with the glasses, but with the Fast looking straight at the camera, with the camera slightly lowered, looking up with a wide-angle to make the Fast look 'grand'. -- think 'Godzilla'.
Just a suggestion. :) I don't know why, but that just came to my head as I was looking at your latest renders.
Cheers.

Looks very nice, and clean. Just not as... menacing as in the commercials.

Awesome critter :thumbsup: adding some fur on the rabbit?
XCNuse

lol no fur, i read somewhere on ebay i guess that the guy thinks its either hard rubber or some type of nylon
@soccerdude.. I KNOW!!! i think its my material or something, which its not as plasticky looking as it should which im going to get into today
however, lol i think everyones going to laugh at this while i stuff my head into some tutorials, but if anyone here remembers the dancing baby from many many years ago (this isnt original, but .. its what i found in about 5 seconds at google video lol (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3590080214094064294&q=dancing+baby)) so lol i think you guys know where im taking this, i want to learn bone structures etc. and make my fast dance.. actually lol, i was going to take a little more modern and young trend with it.. er.. since i am young :/ lol and have him in a club .. raving, yes.. raving lol, get a lightstick in his hand and everything

okay, so this is my first time working with bone structures since i kind of want to get into animation anyway i figured i would start somewhere and i think this gives me an opportunity
so.. heres my bone structure so far, now i just have to learn how to work with it an envelope the skin and.. all sorts of strange terminology
