Wire Wheels 1967 Alfa Romeo

[Gus R]

Inspired by Mike Amos's "Singer developed 911." post I picked up this 1967 Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 Stradale from Wire Wheels Club for around 10 USD. It's an amazing model. I keep putting off modeling a car.

This could be a great asset for renders. I rendered these in D5 Render. You get a Blender, FBX, Max and Obj file. I didn't try importing this into Sketchup. I imported it into D5 from Blender and all the material imported without a glitch.

The creator of the model is Luis Lara Osorio,

Cars of that era were done by great designers, now? not so much

Beautiful render. Car model is exquisite. That interior is top class

[Mike Amos]

Your renders are something else mate. The baked textures just put the icing on the cake but the render is your cake. Love it.

Pssshhh, Sir Ian Callum is the GOAT car designer. Aston Martin VH platform (Vantage, DB7, DB9 and Vanquish) and Jaguar F Type just to name a few. Timeless designs.

Great render BTW

[Mike Amos]

Those designs have not been around long enough to be timeless yet, just moho.

Thanks guys. Does anyone know how to operate the doors? I think it already has a controller in the Blender model but Blender is still Greek to me. Rich? Any idea?

@Glenn-at-home That I meant was in those days an alpha looked like an alpha, and a Ferrari looked like a Ferrari, the vernacular has been watered down. For instance saw an f type jaguar with Maserati badges my reaction would be, "nice looking Maserati" but of course aesthetics is obviously subjective

Doors open!

Can you post the method of opening the doors with the correct alignment please?

Open the Scene menu.

Open Custom Properties

Find Controllers under Custom Properties

Use sliders or enter values as such to open doors.

Doors open.

Let me know if it works.

Right? I'm on a slow learning curve. Blender is very complicated. Probably the most complicated software I've ever used.

Closely followed by Alias Automotive which I have picked up a few times.........

It will click and then you'll have SketchUp's best companion.
