[WIP] Bugatti Brescia Type 13

[Dave R]

I was hoping the seat is a stand in. I hope someone who knows Thea will chime in about the rubber. I think of it from a purely photographic perspective. If I was losing the tires off the bottom of the range of the film, I would get some light in on them somehow. The side walls need something, too. Maybe some ribs running round the tire. How about whitewalls.

"Luigi know what you want. Black-wall tires, they blend into the pavement, but a this... white-wall tires, they say look at me, here I am, love me."

I've had time to play today and bye bye went alot of parts. Just the Cockpit, Seats and underfloor to complete. I have found some nice engine images and I actually might model it. Current at 15mb in size without textures (45mb with )

All the dials are custom made in Illustrator along with the Steering wheel texture.

An texture test in Thea of the cockpit....emitter fail

[Rich O Brien]

Thanks gents.

[numbthumb]

Very well
Glad to see you´re keeping this project alive. Terrific job on those textures also.
Oh, and don´t forget to raise the hood please when you´re done with the engine.

Nice Rich.

Beauty model, Rich! The renders help highlight the great modeling. Perhaps needs some detail where the spokes hit the rims.

Beautiful model! Of course, nobody would expect anything less from you! Glad to see someone else turning out the oldies (although it's a bit older than what I'm into )

@Fletch

Thanks, I plan on remodelling the wheels at some point. It's one of those 'never quite content' models.

@hellnbak

High praise from the grandmaster of car modelling. In fact it was your Eldorado that made me revisit this and tweak the details. Don't get much time for playing with this though.

Wow!!

Ummmm...is there a salary that goes with this? Maybe a crown that I can put on Ebay? (I'm poor, I eat dirt and twigs - when I can afford the twigs )

[Rich O Brien]

Some play time today while internet was broken....

...every time I open this model I destroy something and start again. Gonna finish this for Xmas so I can bury the thread

[Bryan K]

Bury the thread? Not when you keep improving it! (and it looked great to begin with!)

[Rich O Brien]

Messing around with textures....

[hellnbak]

Wow, it's gonna have weathering and rust??? Now that's tricky to do realistically, can't wait to see how it comes out.

Awewome work!
