Green Toaster's Car Sketches

GreenToaster · 8 Feb 2008, 13:26

So, . . . someone challenged me to do a ten minute car (wheels & tires were done previously) . . . so . . . of course I had to accept - this is the result, again, nothing fancy or different, but I still enjoy doing the "same old thing" . . .

Happy sketching,

Brad

. . . forgot the wheel wells . . .

GreenToaster · 9 Feb 2008, 14:26

Here's an attempt at a steering linkage . . . I used to play around with R/C cars so, that's all I really know about steering - from memory - this is just something quick-n-easy to represent what might be some sort of steering for the front wheels for one of the 3 legged cars I did earlier . . .

Happy Sketching,

Brad

I just knew something wasn't right . . . I was getting ready to go for a bike ride when I had to go back and fix this . . . I think this is a more realistic steering mechanism . . . hopefully . . . ? . . .

What would steering linkage be without shocks?

GreenToaster · 10 Feb 2008, 05:03

. . . I can see this thing doing a wheelie . . . 282 hp . . .

GreenToaster · 11 Feb 2008, 02:42

Sometimes you just have to try something . . . I don't like the way the rear wheel turned out but it helps me imagine a solution that I believe will work . . . will have to do the new wheel tomorrow . . .

Happy Sketching,

Brad

. . . yet another SUV-like vehicle while at work today . . . as usual, just a very quick idea tossed out for giggles . . . :rolleyes: . . .

Why do you make them some squarish, you have some nice ideas.

Interesting....carry carry on

GreenToaster · 12 Feb 2008, 00:33

. . . that's more like it . . . I think . . . . . .

Marian · 12 Feb 2008, 21:08

I would like to see some of these concepts modelled properly(fully detailed and shaped) but i guess you have too many ideas popping in your head all at once for you to linger on one....

GreenToaster · 12 Feb 2008, 23:41

I'll be more than happy to make them available if there's any interest.

I'd really enjoy seeing what real, talented modelers can do with them.

If anyone wants some of them, or all of them, please let me know & I'll begin attaching them.

Well, this got me thinking a little, so I created this "marshmallow" car . . . it was detailed far beyond where this image indicates - the program crashed and I lost a lot of work.

In any event, yes, I definitely need to explore "softer" models and add more complex, amorphic, clean shapes. Still having fun.

Happy Sketching,

Brad

Looking at the Car de jour-- Fri Jan 18, 2008 10:52 am
This is strange- When I saw this one, I INSTANTLY thought--- COPS! Why?
I can hear "Bad boy, bad boy... whachagonna do..
So put some lights on that dude... and paint it... and... and..

Am I sick or what?
Lovin' your vehicles- I haven't got to the last post yet, but I'm hoping see some kind of tutorial, or info, a little more than "here's another one!"

Edit: Okay- I AM the last post! Still feel same about that cop car.
Dude---- you rock!

Your car...(couldn't use the Img tool)

Have a look at this topic , Brad.
If you share your models, Whaat could start playing with them (in one post he mentiones that he'd need some models to experiments with).

Could result in interesting things!

i see that is hard to make cars,try something else:make ur squarish cars and divide the straight line to 4 5 segments and play with the segments that after to be a nicer form not so squarish

Thanks, I will try doing this & I agree that's a great next step.

Thank you - yes, I can make it a cop car - that would be very cool indeed.

Gaieus, thank you for that link - I can't find the Ruby script to try that smoothing stuff - what's the name of it?

remus · 13 Feb 2008, 13:22
