[nek11man]

Thats pretty sweet man, good job.
nice design, only thing i dont like is those small tail light at the back, it doesnt look that powerful.

keep it up.

:thumbsup:

[Prototype3X]

[Morbid Angel]

[Morbid Angel]

[Randuin]

dammnit what's with all this amazing vehicles! i want to learn ! :(

[Hopsix]

Morbid Angel man, I envy u, ur creativity & ur pacience... Respect :thumbsup:

[==Spawn==]

excellent modelling:eek: , but like some said, those tail light aren't powerful enought.. and the "wheels" (rims) do not have the BMW style...like smooth-rounded...

the model it's spectacular, but only this two thing i've noticed..

[Morbid Angel]

thanks...im keeping notes...:):buttrock:

[Hopsix]

The last image is sweet in my opinion. ;)
I dig the grey color, but i didn't mind seeing it in another color :rolleyes:

[LuckyLuciano]

looks like a dream! what was the system you used to create the car was it a box and nurbs?

[fanatic]

Great model !!
You have my respect !!
:surprised

A few questions:
*Out of how many polygons does your finall model exsist ?
*How long did it take to model it
*Can you post some wire frame views
*Why did you use V-ray and not Mental Ray for Maya ?

[cgwolf]

Great work with the surfacing and body styling.
Nice

[lebada]

can i get a wallpaper in 1280x1024?

bmw0007 is the one i lie..only if you can make it better so u see more in the front too and along the side as well...and i want the thing a marine blue if ya will so my eyes wont hurn:bounce: thnx

[Chappo]

THAT is one mean block of power ! :eek: :applause:


Excellent modeling :bounce: - you should send it to BMW , it's an awesome prototype.
it's a serious a$$-kicker !

How did you convert your model from Maya to Max anyway ??


can't wait to see the wallpaper :)
(1600x1200 plz. - people with less can allways downsize without loss)

[Morbid Angel]

Hi guys, here is the technical specs on this scene:
Modeling in maya 4.5 with smooth proxy.
The whole model is a single solid piece modeled in low poly.
When brought in to 3ds max 5, I assigned meshsmooth to it.
This allowed me to see model in low poly in view port and have it as high poly as I want in render.
Curent model state is low poly 8 000 poly for the body, weels are modeled as well but that a different poly cound, because of the protector.
In high poly the count is 550 000 poly for the body.
Rendering specs:
Vray 109.u
hsubdiv 25
pass -3/0
AA adaptive subdivision
Environment
Skylite - Ramp 1 (skylite)
Reflection override - ramp 2 (reflect) they are different
Lights - 0
HDRI - no
Glossy reflections on the disks and tires
Ground plane has a reflection of ramp 3 and is not reflecting in the car, however there is another plane below it that is not visible to the camera but is reflecting in the car...it is just darker\

Skylite ramp looks like this

reflection ramp

Final render time per frame 800x600 10 min with glossy reflections...which i think is nice.

Cool !! :thumbsup:

[Hamsterhead]

I'd hate to go over speed bumps in that, or over sleeping policemen, or anything with a slight incline. The whole model is surweet, but the front around the wheel makes the design impractical. I still want one though:thumbsup:

[bigbad]

So cool design. So cool car. I want it so bad. :eek: :bounce: :drool:

[Sherif.Nagib]

awesome model :applause:

but as a maya-max user.. do u think you could've done it in max ??.. a question from a max newbie .

[[DSmod]Tweak]

ok i love it but i have a question..

How is the driver going to be able to see straight ahead of them? the way the car rides makes it look like the front is 10x higher then the rear and the seats are leaned back =\

anyways awsome model, I just wanted to point that out.

[Daniel]

Yeah looks cool!

But it's not a BMW! :rolleyes:

Poor driver, he can see nothing :thumbsdow

Nice ShowCar, but nothing to drive with.

Cya.

[stephen2002]

neat car, but like many sports cars you see out there it is not very practical. Looks like the front end would get scraped up very quickly and there looks to be about 1/2 inch suspension travel, that would not be a nice ride :p

[pigwater]

Morbid Angel:eek: :eek: :applause:

as a previous owner of the car line (z3 & M roadster) i gotta tell you i LOVE THIS...my lease of the m roadster ran out and i was thoroughly unimpressed with the z4...way underpowered and crap ass design....if this had of been sitting in the showroom i wouldn't be here writin this, i'd be out tearing up the roads (especially if it had 300+ hp)

you made my day....needless to say, i have new wallpaper...thanx thanx thanx

[dragunzng]

SHEEEOOOT!!! DAMN that's goood design, and perfect execution.

[Morbid Angel]

hello everyone. Here is a wall paper you have asked me to post. Its 1600x1200
you can downsize from there...wires will be coming soon.
Thanks!
