Something I'm working on at the moment.

Other than the obvious, what else does it need? Is a front spoiler really needed?

Out a spoiler at the back

meshsmooth be thy friend

looking cool, modeling a car like this is simplified by the procedural maping you can get away with but a royal pain in the butt somtimes to convince it to stay smooth and not look like it's been in a crash with a Volvo 940.

You seem to be winning that particular battle though, looking good

Trying to make the windows/cabin at the moment. Keeping the cabin as part of the same mesh (and no mesh smooth now... made the meshsmoothed object directly editable).

what program are you using esd???

Some sensible wheels wouldn't hurt, or pop-up headlamps. Other than that, very nice.

Been thinking of making a The Fifth Element style hovercar with it, actually. That'll be a seperate project though

The wheels I have plans for. Some serious chromed-up "bling", and all that. Pop-up lights were my original plan, but the lines don't really support it.

May I recommend inset/embedded headlights?

A long ridged rear spoiler say starting at 1/2 way down the rear window, about 1/3 the depth of the 'boot' and at say 15 degreees ..

Some nice headlights stretched along the side ridges ? From front on it'd lookd similar to 2 vertical lines ..

A bit around the curve along the front be a nice meshy grille .. or scoopy

I am weird tho

I think that esd meant that as obvious

Went back a few steps and redid the windows and cabin, added a way in:

neat, but it's a bit weird how it opens.

MGA · Post by **MGA** » Mon, 20. Mar 06, 10:46

That, and a chair is needed.

Nah, I thought the driver could sit on the bare metal of the cabin floor....

Avis · Post by **Avis** » Mon, 20. Mar 06, 15:29

Not sure about the windows, the flip top is original so kodus for that.

keep it up, coming along nicely.

esd · Post by **esd** » Mon, 20. Mar 06, 20:36

Yeah, I know what you mean about the windows... but not sure what to do with 'em now, as I'm past the point of no return and into the area of manually moulding many hundreds of polys.

Glad you like the door though
