Mercedes McLaren SLR (Rhino)

[Purple Puppy]

The way you model the seat, it looks comfortable and nice for sitting in!

Hi, ORB , yours works are always fenomenal
One question,
i saw in one of your wip that you import your models in max from rhino with npower translator. can you tell me more about the importing options you choose?

[ORB]

Thanks for comments. I'm glad you like the seats.
I'll use these colors for final renders plus all kinds of crazy combos like fur and alligatorskin..

Do you use the default NURBS Mapping or apply it another time at max?

Usually I add a box UVW modifier to keep the tiling the same in every object. Works with most objects but sometimes if the texture tiling is visible (like on the front leg padding in the black render), I have to use the default isocurve mapping..

@mikornr: The default import options work fine if the geometry is valid, meaning all naked edges are joined between surfaces (use ShowEdges command in Rhino) also if you have trimmed surfaces, it's good to use RebuildEdges in Rhino to prevent meshing errors.
For controlling the render mesh with Npower, set the -FaceChord %/Pixels- to 0,5 or lower for a very accurate mesh..

So, here is the wireframe. Nothing groundbreaking. Just business as usual. I sculpted all of the pads from single surfaces. This was a faster and easier approach than creating multiple surfaces and filleting/blending them together. This makes also for easier editing and gives a more natural look to them. Later on I created some wrinkles, that's why the isocurves don't flow naturally..

Thanx for the wire man. Simply great solution...

Great work ORB ......and it is nice of you to share those informations abaot modeling , inporting and athers thing .

Thanks ORB. npower translator it's not very easy to use (if u want good result)

Once you've imported the mesh what did you do. Did you convert it to poly, to apply UV mapping, Uvw Unwrap or do nothing?
