Rogue's W.I.P's!

Thanks for the advice Lyall but I think I’ve fixed it.

It wasn’t saving my Hypershot models correctly but it was saving them. I saved the model, closed it and reopened.
The scene was appearing as 32x4 mpxls so I had to change that and some of the settings and clicked render and then it started. It’s very slowly rendering but it’s doing its damn job! I’ll see what happens.

Have you guys seen the new loft tool by Chris F.? It's great; it connects multiple curves/ edges smoothly, and could be really helpful with creating cars and vehicles!!

... NOTE: curves connected using it must have the same amount of edges.

Looks like it could really help, Thanks for the tip, it helped me find some really great tools by Chris Fullmer

Forgive me for this completely-unrelated topic, but I really felt the need to share.

Shelby Daytona . Replica, but still...

Roguer1 · 21 May 2009, 03:45

That’s ok Shams, any good Ford related stuff is absolutely welcome here.

That’s one absolutely perfect Daytona! I wish I could get those HD photos in really high resolution!
Very nice!

Sorry there isn’t much happening in the way of SketchUp but I have been very board of it and quite ill lately. I have managed to take just a couple more photos if anyone is interested. I do hope to get more once I start doing stuff again.

I've all but thrown in the towel - so many things going on in my life. Your work is really inspiring - I'm reminded of what my dad used to say "Let the experts do what experts do"

Sorry you've been ill - here's to better health soon.

Roguer1 · 28 May 2009, 23:48

Thanks Brad
I do hope to get back into using SU some time soon. I do have quite a few unfinished projects still and hope to have them done but with less to them than I had hoped. There are some good ones to come.

Roguer1 · 2 Jun 2009, 20:34

Well, I haven’t done much in SU lately but here are some sketches I have done.

These three are all based on the same template so they are similar.
2010 Ford Falcon Coupe

2010 Ford Capri

2010 Mercury Cougar

This here is a custom version of the Ford Taunus. The Taunus is a nice British coupe. This, however, is a lower, longer American model I have designed. It only took about 15min but it looks okay.

...the front is a little messed up

BLANK · 4 Jun 2009, 11:33

Hmm... the sharp lines and the thin pillars on the "American" Taunus give it a futuristic look. Nevertheless, still "teh hotness". That Capri got a funny shape too - CARS-esque (with the grille and all).

I'm thinking of rigging up one of your Cobras with SP3 and yes, it'll drift and handle properly if you know the procedure (vapourware already...). I'm not using any scripting stuff like the pros do, just some old-school physics nonsense. My graphics card is sh*t so I can't guarantee how awesome the drifting will be. The Cobra doesn't kill my graphics card and I can't find anything better, so I'll stick with that. I'll post it here once done, if you don't mind - the warehouse got very childish...

Speaking of drifting, I got one of those cheap Hummer Monster Truck-ish R/C toys that I converted into a drift car (yes, it really does drift, on carpets too... sometimes). I actually placed the battery in front of the front axle, removed some weight and spray-painted it black. Pity the battery wouldn't charge any more.

Since when were R/C toys related to car companies? rimshot

Roguer1 · 6 Jun 2009, 10:36

Thanks Shams. I’m just getting back into my drawing so hopefully I will improve.

I can’t wait to see your SP model.

I have noticed Dennis (TigreFeroce車) and Jordey (fioranojc) are back from their somewhat busy life’s and have started to model again, so here is just a little more work from me after my long break.
I do also hope to model another wheel soon

I have added a grille, finishing the front end. I have only the dash, seats and seat belts to finish.

Roguer1 · 10 Jun 2009, 06:38

I have done a little more work on my Sentient sedan

I don't know if you can really tell what I have done but it’s obvious to me

Marian · 10 Jun 2009, 10:28

Nice work as usual, i would really like you made cougar, it looks very mean.

Roguer1 · 10 Jun 2009, 10:58

Thanks Marian, I do try my best.

MrPlanet · 10 Jun 2009, 15:27

That's AWESOME The amount of work and polies has absolutely no word for it!

Roguer1 · 10 Jun 2009, 16:01

Thanks Shreeyam, It’s still a little messy at the moment.

Roguer1 · 11 Jun 2009, 14:36

A new wheel

This is my Thirty Second wheel. It is a request from BLANK – Shams. The design is from the Saleen Parnelli Jones Mustang

Oh, and just a little work on a new, low poly model. Ford Cougar

Roguer1 · 12 Jun 2009, 07:24

Well, here is another small bit of work. I was chatting to the creator of the website http://www.ponysite.de , a Mustang news website, about the Mustang Milano and the Ford Visos. He requested a couple of models from me, one being a modified Visos which looks more like a Capri. I have started the changes but I don't think it’ll look too much like a production model. It just has a few minor changes so far but I will be changing most of the front and a little more of the rear.
