realism - AudiTT - my new car ;-)

[formfest]

Hi there !
I want your opinion about my actual self-promotion-project of a AudiTT visualisation. It's still at work, therefore there are some issues with it (no background, several optimizations...).
It's made with Rhino, MAX and Vray.
What do you think ?

next one, by the way, render time : 9 min per pic

finally the wheels, I'm a bit proud of them, couse this *shitty* :terror: goodyear eagles made me more headache then I thought at first. I had to xactly measure out the right profile rotation to be able to weld it finally.

Wow!!..this is superb:super: very nice piece of work formfest...
rhino,max and vray...wow!how do you blend it?what does rhino do?and max and vray.....
can we see the wireframe?:coolp:

*Welcome to 3dm

Jesus christ... how much work did this take?... probably a lot, because everything matches perfectly to reality.

GOOD WORK and very nice render.
allthing is very nice.
goodluck formfest.

ok, here it is

This is the second and last one

Well, about the construction : I'm already on the way to write a tutorial about this, it's quite a similar method to the one Thomas Suurland used to do with his new beetle.
I constructed nearly everything in Rhino, then exported with the meshing option (3ds) and re-assembled the model in MAX. After that I take a HDRI map for the lighting and setup the materials. I think the most difficult part for me was not the 3d-Design part, but the lighting and material setup.
I am planning to make a animation with this car and the GI should be fast enough to solve it - this is my aim so far.
I'm still not confident about some materials and the gap width of the car, for it's a bit too perfect. Maybe i'll change it, but it's a lot of work and I want already the next car - an old SAAB 900 turbo16s, the car I possess :love:

Please continue adding comments on what you think could be improved in your opinion, thx:beer:

Very nice, especially the main material.. it is still problem to me, it would be nice to make a good turtorial in materials & lightning. :D
P.S Wheels are not very strong parts of your model...

[formfest]

Thanks sokrates, but IMHO especially the wheels are very well done - it may seem so that they don't look nice because of the lighting - but to be honest: I constructed even the smallest screws, so what's the matter with them, what would you improve ? Thanx for the answer in advance!:beer:

[wackter]

I find this hard to say but in a way I agree with sokratas. The sides of the tires themselves look a little misplaced,.. The material looks totally different and when you take a look at where they are supposed to flow into the "roadtouching"-part, it looks like they're not attached. Tire-rim and the rest of the model looks just perfect, but I said that before.

[formfest]

All right, thx dudes, now I can see what you mean, in fact I have a not connected mesh here, this is ment to be replaced by a one-in-all rubber, currently there are two different meshes there, one for the profile and one for the sides...and they are not connected ! So both of you are right, I've already put in on my 'to improve'-list !
:deal:

But as I said before - I hate these tires now - I will spare the modding of them to the total final. Next time I take a usual profile for any tires.:shame:

[wackter]

OK :D The profile of the tire looks perfect by the way :D.. And I'll be waiting for your updates.
