Do you have a close-up of the wing(s)?

I've started to compile a list for modifications for version 5.

So far...
1. Rims (make another style)
2. Remove window frame(door)
3. Rework Front Lights
4. Add grill to front 'intakes'
5. Add realisim to front and back lights
6. Rework convertable(It's an idea I had...should improve the convertable feature)
7. Improve tire material.
8. Increase front-grill-framing curve

NOOOO dont change the lights!!!!

i love em!!!

I'm only cleaning up the lights....not changing the lights.

I may do a few closeups of hte wings later later today. Which one are you talking about?

The body is obviously carbon fiber.

Unquestionably does not mean I have every person in the world saying my is better. It means that I have more people (precentage)saying 'Predator is the best" than any other car. It's quite a lofty goal. You gotto admit the convertable feature is bad-ace though.

i completely agree, and not only the convertable but the fixed roof too.

Agree with what?

Nice, I like the design. Elements from many influences are noted well and enjoyable to my eyes. I do have one problem: the exhaust. Being that this is a supercar, it will be made of materials like carbon fiber and plastics in the rear. But the exhausts come out the middle of a piece which could pose problems with heat and melting. I live in Sweden now and Koenigsegg has done this with the exhaust but with much trouble. I havent read all the posts and sorry if this has been brought up. I hope it helps. Keep up the good work.

P.S. Where did you go to design school? If you did. You design is stylized like those of a friend of mine who went to Cranbrook.

Thanks for the suggestion about the exhaust.

I have not been to any design schools, and I don't plan to. It really kills a persons origionality. This is only one of my designs. After I finish my next 2 designs, it should be very clear that I can design a range of styles.

Both.
If it's possible, a "string model" of them would be even better, thanks

New and improved camelion orange.

pontiactrac · 02-21-2003, 02:38 PM

What program did you say you used again? I use 3d inventor in school by autodesk. You can do loads of stuff with it, but i think it would be nearly impossible to do something this curvy on that.

PhantomDesign · 02-21-2003, 03:54 PM

I use 3D Studio Max.

To do curved surfaces as neatly as I made them, you'll use a technique called NURBS modeling which is very difficult.

SuPeRcAr_MaN · 02-21-2003, 03:55 PM

Small update but a good one. Very nice orange. Keep the updates coming. I can't wait to see this 100% finished.

PhantomDesign · 02-21-2003, 04:08 PM

I only updated the paint in the last pictures.

I just completed a major section of version 5: The new convertable. It's really sweet. I've got a lot of more work left to do though. You'll see all the updates at once.

B.T.W. When I release version 5, there is goign to be a short animation [movie] of the top going down. It'll be a must see even for 56k people. Does anyone have any idea where I would be able to upload an 3MB-8MB movie? I think I've got a place to upload it...but if anyone is willing to host it or something that may save me a little effort.
