Very nice, but not the nicest of your renders. What method do you use to make cars?

ely862me

I'm sorry ,but,haven't u seen this thread ..it's all I know about making cars:pictures,videos,links,notes,answers and additional comments..now,how can u ask what method I use?

GoldenFrog

No, I only recently started following it. What I meant was, How do you make the 350Z? I thought--Correct me if I'm wrong--your method couldnt be used to make real cars from blueprints.

Are you using another method for the 350Z, or can your normal method be used for real cars?

ely862me

It's all about moving edges/lines and for blueprints using the parallel view.
If u do know the software, there shouldn't be such question like ''What method do u use?''! U simply do it the way u like or seems easier for you.

Have a nice day!

GoldenFrog

Oh, Ok. Thanks.

I'll give it a try.

PS I have watched your video tutorial. I have to say, it's like magic watching you work, even though I dont agree with your designs.

GoldenFrog

I'll take you up on that.

Starting on it right now.

It's been some time,since i've played a bit in Sketchup .. anyway,just want to say i' ve been featured with one of my renders on a site,check it out here http://digitalartsecrets.com/2010/05/15/17-striking-car-renderings-that-will-blow-your-mind-away/

Thank you!

GoldenFrog

Good for you Ely! You're in there along with Marian.

"...Will blow your mind away" I can see why your render was in there.

Hey Ely i just figured out a better way to subdivide and smooth in sketchup... what you do is finish your modeling and set it up for SDS then explode both sides apply SDS and there is no crease in the center.

ely862me

I know that , but i don t do that because my pc and Sketchup are very slow when i have models with over 200 000 faces. I rather work with an average speed than not having that crease in the middle.

Thank you anyway!

GoldenFrog

Hi Ely,

I was looking at you website yesterday...Your renders really are some of the best. And your 350Z looked very stunning in the shot with the Autumn environment. One suggestion: I think it would add to the realism if you make your shadows a bit sharper. Keep up the excelent work!

ely862me

Before u start disagree with my designs let see you doing some average models,then we ll talk!

Happy sketching!

ely862me

Wonderful render.. Is that a model made in sketchup? Looks too clean for sketchup!

Thanks d12dozr ! No,they re backplates but i also have hdris for environment .

I didn t dug to much but is there a preview mode for the simlab render?

This is my first result with it ,,,it has to be a preview somewhere , how else could u know how is the car positioned!

Thanks Blank!
well for the beginning is pretty good(u should choose other color and put a nice background there )
Meanwhile another concept(this time a friend helped me with the design providing two sketches ;mixing his sketches and my imagination i got this; hope u like it).I want this one to be electric,and maybe it will ..don t know.. if i got some money i ll start to do this in fiberglass first and later i ll put somebody to develop the rest of the car..never know..a dream..
Anyway i ll call it Snake concept car.
