Just to complete this Bender thing, I've made some new facial expressions just by changing Bender´s eyes and his tooth lines, which is quite funny
I have posted these on the 3D Warehouse If someone wants them

Being that Italy is on lockdown...
This sunday I started this project just to have some fun.
There's still a long way to go. (both for corona and for the F2004)

Like the Bender! Funny thing ist that you are able to draw such a nice Bender and need to download the toilet paper roll?

I don't understand your wonder Cotty - after all the 3D Warehouse is the only remaining place in the world where you can get toilet paper yet ...

For the preliminary tests of the 2004 F-1 world championship, Ferrari brought the new car to the Imola racetrack.
The italian track, sadly linked in the collective imagination to the tragic disappearance of Ayrton Senna, is considered a significant test bench for the cars, thanks to its alternation of very fast sectors, hard corners, hairpin bends, climbs, descents, violent braking and all kinds of difficulties to stress the overall effectiveness of the vehicle.

The F2004 collected the legacy of the not so dominant F2003GA ("Gianni Agnelli"), which despite having achieved the goal of winning the 5th constructors title and the 4th drivers title in a row, had struggled a lot until the last race, due a management of tire consumption and a general reliability not at the level of previous years, forcing Michael Schumacher to make a big difference with his superior driving style in order to prevail in the standings.

The ambitious goal for the first test of the F2004 was to immediately overcome the performance of the F2003GA by a good half second per lap (a second, in formula one, is like an eternity) while improving the aspects related to tire wear .
But since the first attempts to assault the lap time, Schumacher achieved stunning improvements of almost 2 full seconds, without making any particular effort.

Ferrari's thecnichal management immediately brought the car back into the pits and got mad, first with the telemetry workers, then with the mechanics.
It was not possible. The measurements were incorrect.
And if they were correct, then of course the mechanics must have forgotten to load the regulatory ballast.

But it was all right. The telemetry was correct and the ballast perfectly placed.
Schumacher himself claimed that driving the car, the performance advantage was so obvious that he believed there was no measurement error at all.

The F2004 was subjected to one day of hard checks.
There had to be some gross mistake, a regulatory car couldn't go that fast!
Maybe gasoline flows, maybe some aerodynamic solution, there had to be something out of place.
But even the strictest controls confirmed that the F2004 was perfectly legal.

They began to speculate that the car was very effective on a single lap, but that perhaps it was too "pushed to the limits" to be reliable to last the duration of a complete race.
So the following day the F2004 was put back on track for the long-run tests.
Contrary to what has been assumed, on the race pace, the car was even stronger than on the single lap test compared to the F2003GA.

But they were still not entirely convinced.
They still could not believe that they had just put on the track one of the most dominant cars in the history of motorsport .

The legend of the F2004 was just at the beginning ...

(To be continued next weekend)

... this is an awesome work !! Congratulations
(could you please share a screenshot of the raw proxy of this car as well?)

panixia · 30 Mar 2020, 09:04

Thank you.
Still a lot to detail/refine/cleanup/unwrap, but so far I'm quite happy with the progress.
I suppose by "proxy" you mean the lowpoly base mesh.. This one?
Here you go.
