Hey! Im new here and this is my first post:buttrock: ...

Anyway, im fairly new to 3D and have probably only started 3 months ago, and have been pretty sporadic in my practicing since...
This is about my third vehicle so far and i decided to do a viper simply due to the fact that i love this car!!! Anyway, id love some comments/crits/advice over my progress so far, it will all teach me something!...

The model was created with GMAX :thumbsdow and rendered using C4D :thumbsup:...

Also: i know the mesh looks shitty and lumpy in this pic and i am working on it... the wheels are also NOT MINE, but are being borrowed, again this is being rectified!

thanx:

nice!! apartr from the bumps it a good model. you will have to drasticly reduce the number of polys in that bumpy area, it seems like its far too dense.

Keep going:thumbsup:

Will

btw, good texture!:buttrock:

UNKNOWN LIMIT: Thanx m8! the comments are helpful!
in relation to the model, yeah those little bumps are really giving me the shits!!! me being newb and all means that i dont really know how to eliminate them, although they dont really show up in non-clay renders...:shrug:

Also: the tex is just a generic C4D one which tooled around with a little!:p

anyway ill post a few wires and maybe someone will give me some advice!

thanx again!

how come it's all triangles? if it's not for a game then only use quads. that mesh is very dense though, could i see an un-subdivided wire?
nice model though.:thumbsup:

Cheers,

Will

It is all triangles because that is what quads are made out of. There is a discussion about this on one of the other forums about how modeling programs use triangles even if they are hidden. I'll go find it.

that one was un subdivided...:blush: hehehhehe.....
the tris are due to the fact that those pics came from C4D, which renders wires in this way, this one was taken directly from gmax son no tri's...

i am working on taking the poly count down but its very time consuming!

thanx!

I agree with unknown limit, that your unsubdivided mesh is too dense. That makes it harder for you to tweak the mesh when you need to...
Keep it coming! :scream:

Hey Spyd3r...I want to say that Viper model you got there is really nice. The only problem I have with it is...the doors and front end (hood) are connected together in one poly object. I think they should be in two seperate pieces. The doors and hood. Here are the images and I hope they should give you some ideas. Just want to helping you out there. :thumbsup:

Not at all, C4D doesn't render wires that way, the only one which triangulates the mesh when wire rendering is Lw.
