Hi ppl,

i found some time to model my second car, take a look and give me your C&C :-)
...i ve seen the car on alias web site and i liked it too much!
But mine its done with XSI :D :D

i havent find good references on the net (like blueprints) for accurate modeling so my model its not the same.....but im quite satisfied by result!

Amazing, except a couple things.

I would have sunk the fog lamps in a tiny bit so you can have the body curve inwards towards them... that way, when you're looking at them straight on, it doesn't look like it's flat and part of the rest of the body. You could probably do the same with the back-up lights.

Aside from that... holy cow, amazing.

Um its amazing yes but just one question... How do I get into the engine if this thing breaks? Front hood?

The lack of break between body panels and the fact that there is no seperate bumper of hood make it look odd.

Heh heh, maybe the entire front of the car uses hydraulics to lift up and out to give access to the trunk/engine (is this a mid- or front-engine car?). I CAN see a seperate panel of some kind on the rear, though.

Very very nice, clean work. Maybe a little too clean -- but that's my complaint with all the concept cars people post, they are just a bit too perfect :). However, it's true, while this could be a one-off concept car, it could never be made for real, at least in America, the safety regs wouldn't allow it -- no seperate bumper panels. Also, maybe we could see running lights on the sides? I know it's not all that important, but it's little things that make something this good looking believable as a street car.

Beautiful, anyway :) and not too extravagant!

thx u ppl for the comments :)

yes i agree about the missing front panel. i did not model it becouse i dont found any front panel on some references pics of Solstice found on the net. I did it in a week.

here some wires for who interested in.

Looks very good, yet it misses some detailing.

- What Kelmk said is quite important, it seems to be one part.
- I am missing edges around the lights, right now the fluidity between the body panel and the lights is a bit too much, there has got to be some edges.
- Triangular shaped air intake on the side?
- There's a bit of a corner / break line on the hood (you can see it clearly in the reflection), while it should be (I think) smooth. The part I mean is right next to the grill.

:applause: Awesome studio setup by the way!

It's close to being photorealistic...

No one else mentioned it and I considder myself to not yet be one of the wisest heads in the crowd but I do know cars. So thake this minor crit for what it's worth:
I can't help but think that thoes exhaust tips need some re-tooling. The vertical placement isn't bad... But at least in the rear render they seem unatural. Maybe accentuate the opening in the rear valance that they stick through? A chrome trim circlet there? Just a little somethig might make them blend a bit better.
Other than that 10 stars great design and beautifull work!

Hi Marco,

Very beatifull your new image and I agree with you preferring the version withouth background environment.
I think no color render (white and black or similar tones) for car images is a lot fine and give up a very impressive "velvet effect"

The images with great usage of HDR maps are much appreciated, but never these are really photorealistics.

Ciao


sorry for my bad english.
