[Alan®]

[BKgen®]

yeah. time consuming as hell though. especially when it's got an exposed interior, engine, frame, etc. like this one. All i need is a blueprint and a lot of time.

[FasTech]

Looks good... I had to use something like that in technology class one time, was a pain in the a**, but got a B in there so.................................

[Alan®]

you know where I can get that?

Its called bittorrent son.....or you know someone lol.













I dont condone that kind of behavior....

[SixSquared]

lol stay away.. STAY AWAY... I still have nightmares about rendering. But that's cause I never got to do it as something I enjoyed.... It was something I had to do for class.

Maya can pretty easily be found on a torrent site, or if you're on a PC and want something a bit more user friendly, try out Rhinoceros. The renderings are more basic, but I think that the Rhino tutorials are better than Maya's, and Rhino is a good way to learn your commands before stepping up to Maya (think of it like MS Paint vs Photoshop).

BUT, to do successful renderings, you have to be VERY detail oriented. You think "oh... I'll leave that curve out.. it's not important" and then next thing you know, your car rendering turns itself inside out.

And it's pretty RAM intensive, especially when you export the rendering... and speaking from experience, nothing sucks more than working on a project for hours and hours, and then your computer crashes when you click the render button and you lose the whole fxcking thing.

Nice job on the T Bucket, though.

Isn't this the program Gran Turismo was made with?

[DieselNuts]

[Nismo]

[BKgen®]

lol... mind the key words in my first post:

I haven't even started modeling the wheels and tires yet... those are just placeholders for mocking it up and getting the stance right.

[cwhiteboy]

Nice man, my brother works in Maya for a living. I used to work in 3DS along time ago. Man, I miss doing 3d work.

[SloWRX]

nice job man, i know that shyt is time consuming as hell!

[Elbow]

That and most of the other games out there...

Cool! :goodjob: Looks good!

[BKgen®]

did a couple quick renders of the model tonight. Still need to add brakes, lights, and an interior.

[LS2ner]

nice man. I never really used Maya much, but did alot with 3ds max and 3ds VIZ. I got max 6 still on my lap top. Do you use Maya for the rendering or a different program?

i just used maya for rendering this out. it depends on what the project is for. most of the stuff i do for class can be rendered in maya... either that or my professor just takes a look at the model itself without having to render anything.

Noice! looks great!

Ahh, where you doing to school? I was gonna go to AI, but it was to expensive. I taught myself 3ds Max in highschool and they didnt get Maya until i was about to graduate.

[bandydesign]

Sweet! I can appreciate the work that goes into that. I plan on putting together a car on Solid Edge this summer. yah... that will be crazy! Looking good man!
