Well, smooth is one of my #1 (think about that for a sec) goals. Glad you like it. You'll be seeing more in the future. You can always add my site to your favorites if I happen to forget (www.GryphonAuto.com). I think that'll be my permanent site.

Nice modeling, but u should pay more attention to one car and work on it, rather than jump onto another project. I dont know what goal you have when u model those beasts, but your renderers dont look that vivid. But i gotta say, your modeling is very clean, why not try to render at least one photorealistic image!?

Well, I'm actually going to be making a 2 minute+ chase scene with some realistic scenery pretty soon. I'm going to work on perfecting the renders for that. I've been working with my digital camera and Photoshop to build an extensive (at about 400 now) collection of (useful) textures.

I'm hoping to get the entire 720x480 x30fps x120s+ (that's over 1,244,160,000 pixels and a 1.5 weeks of solid rendering for those who aren't counting) fairly photo-realistic. I hate the evils of images that are too dark, and camera blurs to hide flaws, so we’ll see if I can pull it off. (and I have a cool trick up my sleeve for the video ;) ).

I downloaded your video, and I have one comment. I WANT TO SEE THE INSIDE!!!

The camera actually looked like it was about to go into the car, but didn't. (the second time right before the video ended) It looks like you modeled the inside, why didn't you show that off as well?

Also, when the door opened, the door jam had literally no detail in it. I don't know if this was intended, but it didn't seem right.

Good job though! I usually don't pay much attention to car threads but sometimes I see one that impresses me.

inspired by the carreraGT and the ferrari 360 modena?

very nice model too :)

[PhantomDesign]

Well, the interior is only so-so. I only make an interior so the convertibles look valid, and the proportions are correct. With the amount of time it takes to render video, it wasn't worth the time when I made that video. That video was only meant to show off the curvature quality that is impossible to see in the pictures.


Inspired? That's what irritates me about other designers. They like to say "yeah, I'm browse through the student portfolios for inspiration" and I’m sitting in my corner “ *cough* cheap-rip-off *cough* No-creativity *cough*” I'm to focused with my own creativity to waste my time/effort with 'getting inspired.'


Just had another one of my famous infamous sayings moments (lol)...

Awesome... i like it a lot!

Can i ask you how you did the car-paint-shader at the first one? (The white) ... any tutorial or something?

[PhantomDesign]

:) Old fashion brain power. That's how. ;)
