That Bimmer looks really cool Nadeox! That model BMW is really the nicest one they ever made in my opinion. Really wish it had some more detail though, especially the sides and the a/b/-pillars really lack detail. The whole part where the roof curves into the door is just one polygone wide it seems, so it seems really flat, while in real life it's obviously a nice curve... The wheelarches should be a lot more defined as well. The real car has a flare around it which, in a low poly model, would be really easy to make by just extruding the wheelarch, scaling the edge of it, pulling it out a bit and adding a hard edge where the old edge was... Something like that would be pretty easy to do on the model and it would definately add a lot of realism to the car.


Modeled a bit on the tank today and yesterday. Suspension is pretty much finished as far as I can tell. I think the next thing I'll make is the fuelcap in the center and then the turret. That, or the wheels/cogs... Probably should make the wheels/tracks first to see how many polygons they're gonna be. Trying to keep this at very least under 40k polys, and I'm already at 12k with only one side of suspension :/

Looking good and nice model.

For me, I finished making the front fender. Now it really looks like a 03 Windstar!

The hood shouldn't be at such a high angle. Unless the camera angle and no fender to go by is creating an illusion. Looks great so far

I forgot to answer this question. The hood looked like that because it was without the fenders. Now it looks satisfying, I think

I think it just was the angle you looked at it

Really nice modelling. One question, will it have any deformation? I think even if you dont include deformation, it will be a good car.

Rendering in Blender 2.63 is really impossible

Super nice! But i dont know if your still using the burnside, did you make independent suspension in the rear?

Not Yet, but i already moved a lot of nodes.

You are impossible :\ - That's not a render, that's a screen capture btw ._.

I Re-Worked the UV Map again. Now no more mirror. Made a simple Polizei skin.



This is how the UV Map is organized (LFS Style, or so)

I made the screen because I couldn't find out how to make the render lighter, because the picture is black, what program so you use for modeling?

Blender 2.49b

Have you tried adding a lamp to the scene? :\

Stupid me

I am using 2.63, and there isn't an exporter for that version, and it turns out strange in 2.49b

Now I can render!

There are exporters for Blender 2.5/2.6: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Ex...Scene_Exporter

Thank you. I will try my best to make an eexcellent node and beam structure.

Now I can render!

Looking good.

go-kart anyone?

[JoNnii]

go-kart anyone?

You should make this to a terrain
Just this hall, and then we can use those little carts ;D

Looks awesome!

[MICRACER]

go-kart anyone?

With those big bends up and down the hills I think go carts might bottom out. I think it looks more like a rc course.

[Calamity]

go-kart anyone?

Looking very good!

I finally figured out the front mudflap section after a long time of examining. Now I will model the head light and try to make it as realistic as possible.
