Hello everyone, I would like to join this competition.
My model will be a 00-05 Toyota Celica.
I am at work and not able to start right now but will start when I get home.
I have one question though, I have never tried to do low poly or game art so this is a noob question for sure but, is the poly count affected by the meshsmooth modifier? I have done a few cars but have never worried about poly count before.

Yeah i think MeshSmooth doubles the number of polygons for each iteration (sorry if i misspell lol). What it does is divides each face and avarges the positions of the new geometry to provide a smooth finish :)
Good luck with your project dude!

Hi, I also think that meshsmooth increase number of polygons..

DK_ Studios · 10-12-2005, 04:18 PM

Thanks for the response gents.
So just to make sure I understand my model should be less than 16000 pollies when it is all done and smoothed to my liking?
Also are we doing wheels and tires too?

Just model everything you see outside of the car, that is, what you see on a car when it passes near you.

*maksy* · 10-12-2005, 06:30 PM

Less than 18000 polygons when it's all done, with wheels and tyres

Hey everyone, here is my progress after a few hours, I know it looks rough but I gotta get to bed.

DK_ Studios · 10-13-2005, 12:47 AM

Sorry for the double post, but here is a clay.
I am at 3858 vertices and 3624 faces.

*maksy* · 10-13-2005, 07:32 AM

Al that in 3624 polys wow, this is going to be great model... You don't need to work fast you have whole month to finish :)

DK_ Studios · 10-13-2005, 09:56 AM

Thanks Maksy.:bouncy: I am hoping to maybe do 2 among other projects.
This works out great because I just got done with a supra and wanted to do a celica so I figure I will do the shell for this then do a high poly version, engine, interior, ect...
By the way do you guys detach the different panels on these or just chamfer and extrude the gaps? I mean the doors and hood won't be opened right?.

Firedule · 10-13-2005, 02:13 PM

Yes thats right. That's one of the reasons why we want only the exterior to be modeled.

shadowkeeper · 10-13-2005, 03:01 PM

Or you can model all separatedly and attach them together at the end. Nice start btw!

DK_ Studios · 11-07-2005, 09:02 AM

Hey long time no update.
I had some computer problems but they are fixed now so I should be able to honker down and knock this thing out within the next couple of days.

Anyways here it is for now.

*maksy* · 11-07-2005, 11:40 AM
