Ok folks here is my latest render. I know the background sucks but I wanted to play about with a few lights.

Very nice!...... that must have taken ages to set up?

 

Wooly,

Fantastic, it's really coming on. Get some badges on it and black out behind the grill and you could probably sell it to Honda!

Del.

 

How did you do that?

There's a great market for modding PC games like F1 2002 to include custom cars.

Have a look at:

Hey wooly - lookin' goooood

Just a thought - I'm intrigued as to why you've coloured it yellow, when you have a Nurbie...!!

Surely you would have rendered it in your own colour, no?

 

Wow, that's pretty good. I looked for a DXF of the S2000 for a while but had no luck.

Is that based on an available object?

 

Thanks for the great comments.
I've done it all from scratch. It's done in a fantastic NURB package called Rhino 3D and then rendered on Flamingo. I'm planning to port it to Maya when It's complete for some great textures. The reason it's yellow is because there's a yellow car paint texture included with the package and I can't be arsed to start experimenting with textures.... Yet. I do like the yellow and it shows up flaws in the model well.
I've seen an S2000 3D model for sale on the net it was $2495 and I think my headlights have got more polys in it then that model. This would need a lot of optimising to be suitable for a game. This image took ~12 hours to render on my lowly PIII 666 with 256meg of RAM.

I've spent over a hundred hours on this model, most bits have been built 3-4 times and some 20+. The front wings are a nightmare to build.

This is the first thing I've ever built with Rhino, I have done a couple of F1 cars in the 3D Studio and Lightwave.

Wooow that really is impressive!!!! 100 hrs it does looks great though!! Do you do that sort of thing for your work then or just for fun?

 

It DOES look great!
