hey folks, been a while since i posted anything in here, so I figured i'd post a few renders of a recently completed model. This is going to be going into an animation with a few other cars in not too much longer (hopefully).

The idea was just to take a already pretty cool vehicle and add some stuff to it to push it a bit over the top (but still be able to make it look stock if needed), hence the jet engines that fold out of the sides :D

beautiful render....

1. i think that the material on the bumpers isn't good(i have NEVER seen grey bumpers)

2.when it starts those engines the vehicle will fly at the first bump. it doesnt have stability wings(elerons)

Ahahahah this is great.

This is like the Spaceballs Winnebago's little brother!

Images like these are why I got into 3D Art.

hey thanks for the comments guys!

silv: 1) the bumpers are just a white paint sort of material, based off of this color scheme: http://www.vintagebus.com/gallery/image/2005205a.JPG
2) whats wrong with it flying? ;) :D

the van model is awesome, and I like the idea alot,

but if I was you, Id make the engines have a little more gusto cause right now they look a little bit like AC units,

I always laugh at people when the make visuals for what they`re talking sbout but I was having a hard time explaining it, SO-

try making both the engins come out of the rear hatch. the engines should also telescope out and have wings that unfold or telescope out aswell.

Konstruct: yeah i think you might be right, perhaps if i get some time in the next few weeks i'll add some stuff that pops out of the back hatch :)

the plan is to put this in a race against my old monster truck mini ( http://www.hello-napalm.com/gallery/monster_mini_11.jpg ) and a hotrod that i'm not done with yet ( http://www.hello-napalm.com/pics/hotrod_04.jpg ) so i'll be sure to add some more hardcore engines to the microbus before it goes into the animation :D
