Thank you, Ibi. I use LightWave 3D.

He looks very good

Perhaps a bit too smooth (and too 'Man of steel' to my liking

) but the modelling is very nice.

T-Shine I like your Carrera GT model, and all the light effects. The one in your signature rocks

Ibi: Wow are you really a n00b? When I see those models I think it must be damn hard. I should try some day. I've got 3DSMax6.

i don't know if i consider myslef as a noob now, I think i may have upgraded to an amatuer

Anyhoo.... i previoulsy kinda gave up on the Z4, after i completely screwed it up, but yesterday i went back to it, and started to fix it up, concentrating on the details, which i'm gonna spend a long time on, to get it good or as best as i can.... so here's some updated pics. I just about managed to get the curvy lines along the door, and also started cutting out the hood, doors, trunk, etc.

I'm quite proud of the trunk actually, i think i've done a pretty good job on it, heheh....whatch this space people

Sir Ibi · Post by **Sir Ibi** » 14 Jul 2005, 04:34

And that's just the basic program... If you need motion capture support or some other "extra special" feature (realistic fire/water/hair etc) plug-ins go for 300-700â‚¬ each. See for your self:

http://www4.discreet.com/3dsmax/3dsmax.php?id=741

But one has to remember the fact that 3DS is certainly NOT designed for home/single work-station use. Even the most powerful PC workstation money could buy would be too slow if any 3D-animation is to be rendered. You need a "rendering farm" (5-10 workstations minimum) for that which could easily cost 15000-20000â‚¬

For example, my AMD 2400 XP@2GHz renders this atteched image in about 25 minutes. That is, just a SINGLE frame. Image if you'd need to render a 10 minute animation (15000 frames). It would take 260 days to render...

well i guess its time for an update on the Z4, i've doing for almost forever...... dam i am one slow ass modeller

As you can see the modelling, particularly at the rear ain't perfect, a lot of bumps and just bad modelling in general, but i'm quite happy with the majority of the car, just a little messy in general tho.... let me know what you think..

Cpt.Razkit · Post by **Cpt.Razkit** » 27 Jul 2005, 05:53

wow Ibi, Im not good at modeling at all so im guessing that your render is great!!!

Sir Ibi · Post by **Sir Ibi** » 27 Jul 2005, 06:11

well as long as it remotly resembles what it supposed to, i'm happy

xHaZxMaTx · Post by **xHaZxMaTx** » 27 Jul 2005, 06:18

Wow, that's great. It's obviously a Z4, good job!

Cpt.Razkit · Post by **Cpt.Razkit** » 27 Jul 2005, 06:22

at least i know you are using you time wisely instead of doing some car presentations....lol *hint* *hint* lol

Tunerfreak · Post by **Tunerfreak** » 28 Jul 2005, 11:39

Heads up! Bling just entered da house!

Its my first attempt at making something with Zmodeler. Its got gaps everywhere and its all wrong but im going to keep going with it and see what happens.
Its a non blueprinted car thing that I just came up with. At the moment I have no ideas how to add textures... or anything else for that matter...

Sir Ibi · Post by **Sir Ibi** » 05 Aug 2005, 06:34

hey, hey.... good start for a beginner. So i take its a concept model...

hahah

Well I've almost finished my Z4, I still have the tail lights, indicators, and side mirrors to do yet, and A LOT OF TWEAKING... here's some pics of it.

I'm quite proud of the wheels on this car... and as you can see i kept the treds on the tires simple, 'cause i couldn't be assed to do them properely...lol

I'm still not that happy with this model, as you can see the doors and windscreen areas still need a lot of tweaking around, and i'm quite dissappointed how the cuts in the door turned out too, i can't seem to get them sharp enought

But overall i'm happy with it.

Cpt.Razkit · Post by **Cpt.Razkit** » 05 Aug 2005, 06:56

wow Ibi, that is great.... i like it.... hurry up and finish so i can have a new wallpaper!!

xHaZxMaTx · Post by **xHaZxMaTx** » 05 Aug 2005, 07:30

That is amazing, really it is. You really need to work for some company or something, don't waste such talent!

Sir Ibi · Post by **Sir Ibi** » 05 Aug 2005, 16:59

lol, i don't think i'm that good enough to work for a company, espeically the work that i've seen from professionals. I still have a lot to learn....

Tunerfreak · Post by **Tunerfreak** » 06 Aug 2005, 09:05

Ive got 3D Studio Max 7.0 on my computer as well as Zmodeler. Do you guys think id be better to start learning in 3ds instead? 3ds looks to me like a way more advanced program but I dont seem to have the knowledge I need.

Sir Ibi · Post by **Sir Ibi** » 06 Aug 2005, 15:51

I never used Zmodeler, but i think 3DS max is pretty much industry standard along with Maya.... There are a lot of things you can do using 3DS max...

Stereo · Post by **Stereo** » 06 Aug 2005, 15:52

When I know 3ds max really well, I'm gonna make 3d interior renders of houses...

T-Shine · Post by **T-Shine** » 08 Aug 2005, 22:45

Here's the final mesh with brand new textures thanks to TtR

Sir Ibi · Post by **Sir Ibi** » 08 Aug 2005, 22:49

nice work T-Shine, I love it!

I'm almost finished with my Z4 (dam I am slow

) Did you do the interior of the car too? I've not done an interior and i'm not planning to do one, but I need something to block the view through the windscreen, any suggestions?

Pinecone · Post by **Pinecone** » 09 Aug 2005, 02:47

sure, just make it all black like EA did

T-Shine · Post by **T-Shine** » 09 Aug 2005, 10:58

Wow, I didn't even see your Z4

I thought all the other posts were old, heh.

Very nice work! But yes, like Pinecone said, that is a nice way of doing it. Of course it may not look as good as a full interiour, but it does the job in less time

Unlike on the Gallardo, a black interiour is also how I did it on my two latest models

Don't mind the wireframe, but it should give you an idea of how it can be done. Basically it is modelling the 'silhouette' of the interiour and giving it a black material.
