Green Toaster's Car Sketches

[Marian]

I would like to make some work on it

[GreenToaster]

Okay, here it is - go for it and enjoy it, but please keep in mind, it's not a "clean" mesh - it was done very fast and without regard to easy reshaping & so forth . . . several areas that really need some cleaning up if you want to make it a nice & presentable model.

I've begun working on it, i think a pretty nifty little truck will come out of this .

[ely862me]

nice job mr G

[GreenToaster]

Thanks Ely.

Here's a super-quick form study - nothing really radical, just messing around with it . . .

[GreenToaster]

NICE!!! Thanks for contributing. I'm hoping Ely & some others will provide their versions also.

[Marian]

a render

[GreenToaster]

Is the truck going the wrong way down the road?

But seriously, nice render - what'd you use for that?

[remus]

Dont you mean the right way

(it could even be parked, but that would spoil the fun)

[GreenToaster]

Just wanted to try something new w/the FFD Ruby script . . . just having fun . . . the near-instant "what if" factor is so cool . . .

[Marian]

OOOPss i don't why but it didn't crossed my mind that it was on the wrong side of the road for the last dousin renders i made of some models.I guesss i made it like that because i preffer looking at cars from that angle and also wanted to render more of the grass because it gives it a certain feeling .
Before the server backup i posted on this thread that i find your models interesting and inspirational but i'm sorry that i don't see more pictures of how your cars look finished, that's too bad because they have great potential.

[Marian]

Here is another render and corrected angle...i jsut flipped the pics:P

Another form study - would finish this but my wife wants me to go out with her to pick out lawn furniture . . . (sigh) . . .

---

[GreenToaster]

Wow, what a great date with the wife! We had a fantastic steak dinner and didn't make it to the store to peruse the lawn furniture.

So, of course, as soon as I got home I whipped out this little form study . . . is it going or coming? It's symmetrical front-back & left-right . . . hmmmm . . .

[GreenToaster]

. . . and a non-symmetrical version . . .

[Gaieus]

There are times when you have to try to do something instead of just "lurking around". So I gave a shot to your truck, Brad, too (using Kerkythea and Preset #6 with soft shadows. I also used different HDRI's for lighting.

[Gaieus]

Then added some shininess to the car paint and immediately it was way better than the previous ones.

Now back to work...

[GreenToaster]

Gaieus, that's a really great contribution, thank you very much. Hopefully others will contribute their versions also.

I've only done two renderings with KT - a simple chair and a beach house. I'd really like to - and I need to - spend the time necessary to learn how to use KT.

marian i m spechless :-O,mr G u overload him(marian) but it worthed

[Marian]

I have to say that i just love that truck, it's like a stepson to me:P
I really love your shapes but hate you don't finish them.As i said you inspire me.I have a suggestion to you Mr. Greentoaster.....if you post more of your models "i will add your technological distinctness to my own"( star trek joke:P), i mean i'll add details to finish it like i did with the truck, i really enjoyed doing it.
