P.S
Hey raytracer i think a tutorial section on your website would look good (hint hint, maybe a render tutorial aswell as a car tut??)

cmon guys some feedback maybe??

Were Can I Get Lightwave!

Well done, I currently can even place sprites correctly let alone graph and skin it.

Btw, its a great start you pretty much pinned the contors of the Modena.

Thanks for the feedback guys,
legionofone - I got mine off limewire, or you can buy it for about 2g usd i think something around that, raytracer2k2 got his off ebay for $500. I think 2g is a bargin for the program as cinema 4d is about 4.5g usd and i would prefer lightwave.
VADOR - do you have lightwave?? i started off the car tut on newteks site (350z) thats a begginer tut and then im on this tut on lwg.org. it gives the spline drawing for you so that makes it eisier.

P.S
ill post an update tonight. im doing panel thickness.

No, I don't. But I did download ZModeler when I was interested in seeing if I can make additional cars for Midtown Madness. I didn't have a clue on how to set up sprites correctly so I gave up on using it. But I maybe now I will see if I can learn how to use it, I have a cousin who is currently learning 3D design. Maybe you can help as well?

If you were to start using a 3d program i would deffinetly advise you to use lightwave because compared to other 3d programs its alot eisier to use, i was learning cinema4d for around a year and i never finished a car but now im using lightwave ive finished 1 car and quater way thru another.

****UPDATE****
just done some panel thickness.
Also i need to do sme panel beating on a few panels.

Im getting good at rendering!

man, thats fuckin' awesome....
Thats so cool! Keep it up bro!!!!

Ey ey. now that's a good start. Im glad there's another lightwaver here. :D
So c4d is not as good as lw in your opinion? Well that's good to hear for me that I picked the program of choice for car modelling. Never really tride c4d but was always curious what it can do. Keep it up.

i think overall c4d is a morepowerfull program but lightwave is eisier to use personally i would prefer lightwave because its eisier to use but when im a more experinced graphic designer i would prefer c4d.

Nice shading and further detailing, did you use tool to shade according to your preference or is there a rendering feature for that? If it has both, what did you use or did you render it?

thats a render and you get the shadows by putting loights in the scene.

post more WIPs plz!

My next wip will be just before i start the wheels wich might be tonight if i work hard enough (ill try). ive done the front & rear lights.

damn this is sweet time to get lightwave

so what's the update? here are some render settings. but basically you have to put an HDRI uffizi probe in the backdrop>add environment>image world. play around with pitch,heading. brightness. disable lights unless you want sharp shadows and bring ambient to 0-5. enable radiosity interpolated. turn on raytrace reflection,shadows, etc and put recursion limit to 5.

Thanks for that man im going to post an update when i finish the body, all i have to do is the rear window & rear brake light wich shouldnt take more than 45 min so an update will most probably be today.

****UPDATE****
just done pretty much all of the body detail now im going to start on the rims!
