Development Screens (Each post contains a picture OR contributing post)

Use a ramp and drive onto the platform, because now the truck breaks it on impact. And maybe lower the speed, just to test how much angle you need to get it to flip.

 

well this is now what i have.
my only problem is the raise lower hydros dont work for lifting a car. Im working on that though. and the mesh, the mesh is terrible

Made some progress with the del sol dash but I have some mixed feelings about the outcome to this point....what do you guys think? Some critiques would be very appecated

I really suck at organic shapes....It will hopefully get better if I put more time into it.

 

i would suggest more polys. it could make it look a little smoother and more details, the details can bring it to life
look at on of gabesters dashes for example

there are lot of polys for a dash, but it looks detailed.

im not a modeler but thats just my two cents.

 

nice start of dash, litlle reminds of low poly gta models, but its good start, and BIG thumb up for making it RHD

 

Man, organic modelling will kick your ass if your polyflow is substandard to begin with. Your dash is looking quite good; are you fleshing it out in low poly then adding detail later? I'd definitely recommend going mid-high poly since the dash is what fills up most of the screen in cabin view. Just remember to use normalmaps to their fullest if you're going down the lowish poly route.

Also, shade your floor smooth!

 

Yeah man, it's pretty tough...actually I had in mind to add a loop here, move some verts there to add some extra resolution, but after almost one hour of weird shading and topology...I just said screw it and added a smooth modifier on the lowpoly. I edited it a bit and cleaned some of the mess on the drivers side for now:

I think it looks pretty well without going too overboard with the polycount(everything you see 1400 tris) Please don't mind the passanger side and the two malformed cutouts on the the control panel...haven't completely fixed those. Also don't worry about the floor shading As you can see it's not even acurate ,so smoothing will come afterwards.

I hope I'll get the dash done tonight. Got some new headphones so the music really motivates me to keep going

 

Yus, looks great so far, cant wait to rip it around ECA at 90mph


I have ave some progress of my own for once lol. I've finally properly finished redoing the pillars, door jambs and all that crud. Added in some details like hinges and door locks which all match up to the doors correctly. Finished up the engine a little more adding a few small things here and there. Added a good amount more detail into the interior arm rests, reshaped the dash a little and modelled a steering wheel.

Around 43k faces so far with all the parts including wheels

Messed a little with realtime viewport shading in Blender, works very well and saves like 5 minute AO bakes for each picture

Oh that is going to be really really nice, big day when the darn thing comes out!

 

Sorry for spamming so much, but any thoughts on it so far? I still have a weird feeling about it but I don't know why...probably becuase the messy wireframe that it once was, still gives me nightmares every time I look at it...makes me feel like something is off...



Edit: Okay, glad you guys like it I guess the subsurf method threw me off a bit.

Update:


Okay I take everything back I am happy with how it turned out. Everything missing on the dash will be made with normal maps.

 

Looks fantastic!

It's not spam if you're showing something useful

 

Been working some on the scania:

-Interior, still needs some fine fixes and features on the texture. I actually made a high poly version of the interior and baked it to the lower poly version, turned out pretty decent imho.
-Modeled the engine and uv-mapped and ao-baked suspension, engine and frame
-added more detail to the cab
-stuff?

One day this shall be finished and I can rest D:

 

Dickbutt?

 

Back from vacation. Did some more work. It now stands up properly, but I'm starting to think it has too many nodes. I think my best option is to start over. It's too hard to make all of the nodes stay properly. I think I'm getting a feel for this node-beam wizardry, so starting over shouldn't be too much of a hassle.


It currently has 103 nodes in the body. I'd like to reduce that to around 70 or so.

 

Really nice , good luck working on the porsche and scania !

 

I noticed this too and I burst out laughing.
