Corvette z06 2010

[w0rx.]

New project from me, will be showing my progress intensivly, after each part is done, i will be showing a non smoothed wire \ gloss clay render,
but while im getting there, i will be posting the wips to show my work flow i guess.


ps. huge thanks to redstarcg for prints.

Oooh that is a sexy looking mesh!

[EquiNOX]

Thats my dream car, I love it...Mesh looking good and Good luck!

[w0rx.]

thanks, lil more updates, and some more shots. chamfering \ detailing will come later on. trying to keep it simple.

[DaveCox]

Are you modelling those as separate parts?

I mean the grey - dark grey and green?

If so can you explain why? I am curious.

[w0rx.]

I dont know how to explain it exactly but ill try.

I look at the car shape, and i look for big curves, sharp curves, and see which areas can be filled with surface, so in other words.. bridge two bends together and you get a whole surface. Which is what my princapal is. Because you get the main shape of the car without modelling it, but following the cars design if that makes sense. All my surfaces, are mainly created by "connect" in edge tool. And also moving vertrex's and edges with EDGE mode on. So the main idea is.. look for main car points that allow you to link them. Does that make sense?

So basicly, the only thing i modelled is the blue area, the green also the guide lines to help the shape, however they were done using the same technique as the dark area, which i did not model really. gosh, i hope this makes sense.


look at example.

it looks good so far man. But can you show us some wires without tbsmooth set at 1 iterations, it shows us your basemesh. Also when you use this technique you always should watch reflections.

But great start i love it

[LuisNieves]

This in my opinion a very accurate and smart way to build. Yes Dave, it is exactly that. Same way that nurbs work and its known as modeling with patches. At least in this side of the pond. If I'm not wrong is the same technique used in Exidge's F430
This thread is going to be very helpful to people. Nice work so far W0rx, keep it coming.

[EquiNOX]

Wow, what a great Idea.I like your work flow very much


I ll be watching your progress.

cool method of modeling.
somehow reminded me of this guys´ modeling technique: http://www.munkmotion.com/tutorials/nsx/1a.htm (really old tut but still a lot of valid points in there)

Cheers

[Skrips]

Nice work so far, man. I will have to keep an eye on this thread

[w0rx.]

thanks alot guys,
a little update, im making very accurate spline cage, as you can see this cage will help me model alot with this technique, which is the
reason for making it. As you can see im putting lines in the bends where the polies are needed, and the rest will be connected.


Yes its very simular to Munkmotions method, which i havent seen before. But i acctually read through it, has some great tips.

[w0rx.]

adding those extra lines in the front bumper, and its ready to be modelled.

*Adding lines on each single curve of geometry change.

some updates, no meshsmooth yet.

[mynameisoscarjo]

Looks fine, but please post the pure mesh without wires
