HMC #46 - Beverly Hillbillies Truck


#1

Hello everyone.

This will be my first HMC.

I am selecting the truck from the Beverly hillbillies T.V. show.

I am just a weekend hobbyist, most of the time I can get a couple hours a week to play around, so probably biting off more than I can chew.

I will be using Blender, Krita and Paint.net.

I have already learned something from this, the truck is a 1921 Oldsmobile.

Here is my reference sheet made from images off the internet.

Hey Ryeath welcome in HMC,

Nice choice, I hear for the first time of the interesting Beverly hillbillies show.

And dito here i’m hobbyist too, wishing you good luck and fun.

Wahoo… I have a wheel done. :applause:

I used this video as a reference to learn how the wooden wheels are made. Interesting, though it’s Russian, so I don’t know what they are saying.

and I found this picture to help me get started on the body frame.

One more wip screen before the weekend is over.


#5

‘Dodge Brothers’, yeah that goes waaayyyyy back.
Looking good so far.


#6

Thanks Wyatt.

This is definitely the most ambitious project I have attempted.

Here is a quick update.


#7

Quick update. Still blocking stuff in as time allows.

Looks like a lot of people joining in the challenge. Awesome.


#8

A couple more update photos. Still blocking in. About 12 hours so far. Want to have the blocking in done by Oct so I can start texturing and detailing. That’s where it will probably fall apart. Texturing is really a weak spot for me.

Thanks for looking.


#9

Started throwing some placeholder textures on it. Still plenty of modeling to do, but the texturing is what will cause me the most grief, so I need to get started on it.


#10

Playing around with some textures.

I found a wood texture to use on the wood planks and the barrels here

I reread the rules and it says all artwork must be new. Does that include textures?

Here it is with the wood textures on it. I left the texture alone for the barrels and the bucket, and desaturated and changed the hue a bit for the bed and rails (same texture though).

Hi. This is my 1st post here. Here is my work in progress of my work for the challenge: the famous batmobile tumbler. Hope it’s upto the mark for the challenge :slight_smile:


#12

Uh, you’re gonna want to start your OWN thread for the HMC challenge considering this is Ryeath’s WIP thread


#13

Sorry buddy!! I am new here. So posted wrongly.


#14

No problem Starkman.

I have to say everyone’s entries are looking really great. Amazing talent here on CGTalk. :bowdown:

Here is a few more updated textures.


#15

I know there is another week or two left until deadline, but I’m not sure I will be able to get anymore time to work on my project, so I prepared this compiled image to be sure I could get an entry in. If I find time to work on it I will update the image. I will wait until closer to deadline to put in the final thread.

I definitely plan to continue working on it past the deadline as I have never taken a project to this extreme before, and although it may be amateurish by the standards here I am quite pleased with the results (as unfinished as they are).

So here is my entry:

Vehicle: 1921 Oldsmobile Flatbed Truck from the television series “The Beverly Hillbillies”
Time: About 30 hours in small 2 -3 hour increments (sorry, did not keep accurate records)
Programs used: Blender (modeling, rendering, procedural textures), Paint.net (textures, compiling final images together)
External sources: Wood Planks - D632 (texture) by AGF81 on DeviantArt (Creative Commons) http://www.deviantart.com/art/Wood-Planks-D632-329164545
