enzo ferrari (first car)

[dlawlan]

Hey guys just finished my Enzo. Im happy with the mesh but having a few problems with the lighting,I'm using mental ray with 1 skylight any suggestions? :banghead:

Nice car !!

Only the wheels are strange.....

For the renders...have you tried HDRI images ?

[dlawlan]

cheers bud. Not familiar with HDRI images. What is it and how would i go about using it?

Nice body work, but I think that your area around the windows need a lot of work. And also the shape of the passenger cab looks really wired to me, when I compare it with some reference pictures.

[petter]

nice, but there are some errors. i think you didn't followed the blueprints...

[3razor]

nice model

btw can you show me quick how to render lik this (http://cg-cars.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=15327&d=1172841929) ... ,??? or link me to a tutorial ???

/--- edit

nvm, I found a tutorial :)

greetings

[petter]

the material have too much gloss and low specular...

[dlawlan]

hi checker 2k3 , I know what you mean, but remember im trying to keep the polys down . I'l have a tinker around with it and see how it comes up - thanx for your feedback though m8!

[dlawlan]

hey petter, yeah i think your right bud, il have to mess around with the gloss and specular, to be fair though I dont think the colour was the best choice, il do a render in black next ! cheers for the feedback aswell! ;)

[petter]

checker is right. the cockpit is wired. also many things are wired. check the blueprints and some reference pictures

You're trying to keep the poly's down? How come you're using mesh smooth then? The two things don't go together, for game modelling.

For a first car it's not bad, but you need to spend some time comparing it to photos and blueprints. You also need to make sure the mesh flows smoother, you've got ok overall flow, but if you look down the line of some panels, they jig jag all over the place.

Welcome to the forum.

I'm not an expert on lighting at all but I in order to see the form of the car better need different lights with different intensities, maybe even color if you wanted too.

If they all have the same intensity then I believe the object will look flat and washed out.

[dlawlan]

hey herminator, thanx for the comment. Instead of using mesh smooth should I just use the smooth mod in future or is there a better way of increasing the poly count without going overboard with mesh smooth? I do admit I rushed the car to try and finish it.

[Herminator]

To increase poly count in games you do it the hard way, create the poly's yourself ;)

I'll post the car I've been working on for the last couple of months in a new thread shortly. It's around 80k poly's now, final limit will be 90k, all done manualy. This is next gen standard though, for PS2 games, you're looking at a lot fewer poly's, under 10k.
