Vehicle: Citröen Xsara WRC

[Gremlin]

its good (well, the shiney red material needs to die....die right now, but the car is good), keep it up and it'll turn out real nice!

:lightbulb make sure you keep all the edges of the parts close, so that in the end, you wont be able to see through the cracks, because I'm assuming you dont want to model the engine, so make sure all the edges on the hood are as close as possible to the surround edges so we cant see through... cause as of right now, I can see through those edges, specially around the lights.

I can't say I'm a good judge of cars in general, but I like the way it's coming along. Solid modelling. It always helps to post up a wire though.:D

[Sytron]

can you show me the wireframe without smooth?

Looks really nice...I'm looking forward to seeing this one finished. :thumbsup:

[image removed do do shoddiness]

[BluesManJF]

i agree that the edges are not so close..
maybe you could change that..
the model is nice!
but the last image was too dark..

[wedge]

the model is almost there. i need to smooth some things out, the mesh is a bit lumpy in places. i might go in and simplify a few areas that got really "busy". a few minor tweaks after that, and then texture/render time!

thanks go to Gal for the wheel-spoke tip.

Very Good :)

But you forgot to put brakes one them, I can see right through your wheels.

Additionally, I myself don't mind it, but you might get some people wanting valve stems, which are the little protrudesions (is that a word?) that come out from each tire for air.

[BlackWolf]

it looks good, the only problem might be the mesh on the two grilles in the hood. it just looks kind of wierd on the shading. apart from that the mesh looks very good

[wedge]

hehe don't worry, i didn't forget the brakes, i just haven't gotten to them yet. thanks for your comments, i'm going to clean up the area around the grilles so the smoothing looks a bit more normal.

and heiyuu: it's "protrusions"

[Gremlin]

whoa nice work!
I went and partied with my friend for 2 days, come back and your car is complete, nice! (also, that material you used a couple images back, that teal/red shiney thing was awesome!)

anywho, you're progress is great... now I gotta go update my thread :D hee hee
Cheers,

good work, but why have you chosen such an ugly car?

great wheels!
the model is very nice!
but.. and about the textures?
have you already thought about that?

[wedge]

ok, i started the textures... i have not textured the headlights, taillights or the windows.

and i'm still working on the materials. right now they are just phong shaders, but, obviously, a phong shader just isn't real enough.

i also need to bring out some more details. i modeled the damned windshield wipers, i sure as hell want them seen!

http://ucsub.colorado.edu/~geddes/images/xsaraRender10.jpg

any advice on materials would be greatly appreciated!

[Darakusan]

Very nice:thumbsup:

But one opinion... where is there 2 box in the shadow under the front bumper???

[wedge]

those were because there's no engine in the car ;)

update below, but it is VERY big (1600x680) so I linked it instead of posting it.

it is almost done, I just need to change the textures on the lights and the door, add some textures to the windows, and.. uhh... put a license plate on the back.
