Vehicle: BMW Z4

#1

Hi all

Here’s my very first car model. Took about 3 weeks to make, but that included learning the modelling technique :stuck_out_tongue: Made in Cinema4D 8.5

Comments appreciated :smiley:

links are broken images dont show up. What modeling technique did you use. Any tuts you know of. Good luck with the server and the pics.

#3

Looks great for a first car model.
You should put a background…Cus I see building reflections on the car, yet I see no buildings o_O

#4

:thumbsup: hi really nice job for your first car model…nice lighting
the only thing tha looks starnge to me is the bonnet…it seems to be madoe ofa different material to the wing fro example…also the gap round the edge seem to be slightly irregular…but hey other than tha nice piece of work…smudger

#5

love that car… and your modell is really great!

have you made a documentiation of it? you know something like making of?

i like the seats… would you send some new renders from the back of the car… would like to see the “z4” loko and the bmw logo on the back

there is something wrong in the left front of the car…

#6

Okay i see the pics now. Beautiful model and render. I would like to learn to model cars do you know of any c4d tuts like the one you use to “learn the techniue”. Very nice job. Great image and model.

#7

Nice! Are you sure about how the lights look like ?

#8

BESTrin: I know a 2 car tutorials for c4d, one is an old american car and the other one is a audi s3… I’m working on that s3 right now…

so if you want the links, tell me

Try putting it in an environment and testing different lightings. This one gives your model no justice. I also think the grain is too high.

Thanks for all the crits, people. I’d just like to say, being my first model, it was
more like a practice exercise than a polished work. I’m not really planning on
refining/fixing this model any further. I’d rather start fresh on a new model :slight_smile:
Still thinking what car to do…

The tutorial I learned from: http://129.125.101.174/c4dportal/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=94&<img

and some more WIPs:

Hey nice job, great model. Raytraced rims? :buttrock:

#12

wow…impressive

#13

so you use hypernurbs and and points, I am learning the same tutorial, but I have a question, actually to all who make cars, there is a problem where two objects are close, as you see where the bumber meets the side… it does not fit… how do fix it? I have hear something about extrude or something like that, but I would like to know more, because that disturbs me…

thanks for your help

looks great, not sure if it’s the angle but the hood looks like it doesn’t line up perfectly.

#15

The result is very good
I like the car’s tire
:thumbsup:

as far as i know there are 3 tutorials on the web which describe how to model a car in c4D. two were already mentioned.

the third:
http://www.black-graphics.de/projekte/mercedes_slr.htm

the tutorial of the audi s6 is the most complete one.

though … i would like to now something more about modelling the interior of a car.

#17

b.t.w. … did you had blueprints of the car to start with?

i’ve searched all the web to find blueprints of a z8, z4 and mini.

the one of the mini i’ve already found
