Just a quick little thing I made today

[Joey D]

Tell me what you think. It took me a while to get the lighting right but my first attempt at head lights.

Did you model that car?
What program?

 

[Joey D]

Well I took a 3000GT that my friend made and then did some modding.
I used 3DS MAX 4.2. Sorry the quailty isn't the best but the program hates it when I take images of it.

 

[MistaX]

Hmmm can you model a complete car by yourself?

 

[Joey D]

Ya but its real hard to. I've tried to make one but it looked like hell. It's easier with AutoCAD then import it. I've done that with some trucks.
I really don't do to many car things in 3DS Max. It's a bastard when it comes to it.

For 3D SM use www.3dcafe.com and USE their tutorials.

Modeling cars is easy. You just need to learn the proper ways to do it... Use splines and such instead of "block" modeling...

 

[Joey D]

ok thanks I've never been to that site before. I'll give it a try cause I really want to learn hoe to model cars.

But anyway, the pic is good, Streetracer! :thumbsup:

 

[Joey D]

Thanks. I don't have much to do around here since there is no car for me to drive. I took a week off work (can't work on cars with broke fingers) So I sit around and animate.

thats a really good pic!

 

[Joey D]

I'm trying to figure out glow lights for the under body but thats kind hard to do.

 

[viperman]

that would be really cool

 

[Joey D]

I'll be working on that tommarrow so I'll post the pic if I can get it working.

 

[Joey D]

No with tails and Xenon fog lights. I added a glow effect to the foggs.

Ok, a quick and dirty way to do underbody lights:

Make a WTF IS IT CALLED!!! The thing that is longer on one side tan the other, like a square... Rectangle! And edit out the middle so it has a slit down the middle. Place this under the car, and put lights behind the plate... It will hopefully give you the desiread effect.

 

[BrothaLynch]

looks good racer

 

[slip2rock]

Mate, that is well smart.

 

[sliderulz]

Pretty Cool!
