Update Low Poly SU cars

@jackson said:
I've become a little obsessed with streamlining the workflow from SU to render progs, finding the balance between components that look good and work well in SU, but which also render well and IMO you have achieved that balance almost perfectly with this car!
BTW big thanks and mate we share the same obsession!!!

Yep, transparency mapping works in VRay, but not sure how it would be possible to make materials "overlap" to blend them, VRay's material editor is a bit limited in that respect.
Personally I like having glass as a separate material- for external renders I usually only have 2 or 3 different glasses for buildings, 1 with no refraction for most windows (to keep renders fast and allow single face glass), 1 with a little refraction for glass balustrades and then a random one, maybe tinted, or very reflective. I usually have all car glass as a separate material as the curved forms sometimes require different fresnel settings.

Soo much text to read in this thread....
I just drop in to say: Nice work Richard !
Are you making a 'Cars 2008 bundle' out of it? -

I might think of doing the glass as a separate material, certainly would help the process this end. Though there does have to be a way to do it????
Darn shame Vray doesn't support weight maps as during development of this idea I came up with a way to export any number of high poly cars in a scene as just the one material.

Are you making a 'Cars 2008 bundle' out of it?I'm certainly thinking about this mate! Though maybe a mix of 2006 - 2008 we certainly need non current model cars for scenes.

If you would take wishlists: the old Fiat 500 model would be cool.
That car has an edge to it which is nice to have in arch scenes... -

...but what a beauty it is:
-
it is a beauty indeed!
(ferrari may be expensive - but that little fiat 500 is simply gorgeous) -
I know, I know its edgy!!!
they always remind me of the movie the BIG BLUE! One of my fav's!!!
Actually a mate of mine has one and it is actually the only fiat I've driven - what a bucket!!! Though would like one myself to match my vespa!

If you taking requests, may I please ask for a Sunbeam Alpine?
Classic!!
-
he he Richard ...Just wait some moments longer and you get to model all the cars that ever hit the market, by request.I would limit it to cars that have "circle shaped head lights" e.g the 2 proposals above.
(That would include the old Porsche 911 , MG roadster,etc...) -
well, then my request will be the Tumbler!
oh dear, I simply love the mixture between hummer and lamborghini...
(and I cant wait for the next batman movie to come out at the end of july) -
plot-paris, I have a tumbler in my models already (modelled it last year sometime) I will look for it tonight if you want it.
-
oh, that would be great! I simply love that vehicle!
and in one months time you have a new chanllenge - modelling the batpod

I found am image of the model, just need to look through my HDD's for the model (should really name my model properly)
Does not actually look like the above photo (not sure where I got my model image from but at time it looked about right) Is this the mark II?
-
Richard,
It is the bat mobile in Batman Begins and The Dark Knight (July 18th by the way). You should definitely get out more!
