Made with Maya polys, Rendered With Maya.

Celica Avi - Requires Divx 5 to View (http://www.vfxcreator.com/nightshade/celica360.avi)

I have 2 issues i know of. The mirror's, they are reflecting weird. They arent picking up the reflections on the car, just the base color shader and not the glass reflection shader. Anyone know how to fix this?

Other known issue, the animation of it spinning was done using spline keys rather than a linear key. Woops! So it speeds up at the end... Already fixed, just took a long time to render this. 7.5 hours for a 160 frames at 640x480 res so im not gunna do it again till i have other fixes to do.

Well, it was worth having to download the codec! =) The model looks great, you should really think about modeling an interior, and lightening the tinted windows, that would only add to an already great piece.

I see what you mean about the mirrors, unfortunately I'm not a Maya user, I'm sure someone here will have a solution!:D

Thx for the input... Yeah. As little time as i have, i want to make an interior. I'll eventually do it. I just have a few other models im working on at the same time as well as an animated short im working on. Too bad i dont do this for a living yet. :( Some day....some day....

When i converted it to divx, i did it with the current divx codec. The only thing was i found out it required the latest version.. Sux but the newest version has alot of improvements so its well worth it.

Not getting much critic... anyone care to give me the thumbs up ro down? hehe

Anyone have any ideas of a scene for this... i put alot of time and effort into this so i wanna atleast render it in an animation and make use of it in my reel besides just stills.... I was thinking maybe have it fly throug ha desert or somethign kicking up dust, but i dont really know. My minds fartin on me at the moment hehe.


Maybe something along the lines of this... That would be cool..
