Well, your work is good, we all know that, not much to discuss about that, except if you have an idea or you want advice.

[Roguer1]

Thanks Marian

Here is another wheels, its from the 2010 Ford Taurus SHO

This has been one of the hardest wheels I have made so far

I did try to make a video tutorial using this complicate wheel but it took 4 hours and I didn’t have enough space to store the large file on my HDD...
It was recorded in HD.

I also ran into quite time consuming problems so it turned out a mess.

I will still try to make a video tutorial next time I make a wheel or if I could figure out a good way to, a SketchUp tutorial.

Just a little update on the Cobra, no images this time (under wraps)

Work on base model
-Interior started and it is going well, a few complications but looking good
-Exterior still not finished, underbody just started

-Estimated total poly's: 100,000-ish

Still amazed by the results you've managed to get. I'm beginning work on an Audi A3 today which is my first attempt at a car. I will post when I have something worth looking at.

Keep up the good work, I think when people don't speak it's because jaws have dropped at some of the things you've done here!

[Roguer1]

Thanks a lot Puck

I would like to see what happens with your A3, best of luck.

[RayOchoa]

All your models are very cool
How bout trying to make a concept car completely from your imagination and make it "real" by rendering or something.

I was looking at your cars earlier and i saw that range stormer car. Dude!! Freakin awsome. So much detail and everythin

Do I see a dashboard in that Taunus? Hmm...

Hmm, doesn’t sound like a bad idea but a lot of the concept cars I design on paper are very complicated.
I have a lot of modeling to do at the moment but I will surly get around to it one day.

Yes, you do
I have done a bit of work on the interior a long with the exterior. Did anyone wonder why I showed the back this time instead of the front?? It’s because the already awesome looking front is being re-built. Don’t worry, it’s not changing much, just a few minor details will be changed. It’s mainly just a re-build to fix a few bits of poor mesh work and make it look realistic.

[Roguer1]

OK, im getting a little board...

Here is another wheel
http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=e6f92c08e37d286fc811557dfc014b14
If you read the model description you’ll notice that I have said I will also make the actual Taunus 4 spokes wheels which are quite similar.
What do you think?

[Roguer1]

Another wheel

Please download and take a look at the changes from the old D-010 to 25 and 26 before you pass judgement. I have done a hugh amount of work on all three models. The D-010 has basically been re-modeled and, although the 25 and 26 are based on the 10, they are both unique and vastly improved. The 26 has taken me about 3 hours to model so, as you can tell, it’s not a simple task.

So what do you think?

[RayOchoa]

4 spoke are nice. I like how you make them look like actual real life rims.

[Roguer1]

Thanks Ray.
Its 4 a.m and im still going.
At this rate SketchUp will be illegal soon... its addictive!

[Roguer1]

That is an astonishing looking paint job and that wing just tops it off.
The render looks very crisp; you must be spending a lot of time and effort perfecting the textures and a have quite high performance computer to get results like that.
My renders always turn out really speckled with fireflies even after 10 hours with fryrender. I need a much better computer. I know my model is bottom of its line so I can’t expect that much.

Once again, model is looking great, I can’t wait to see it finished.

Haha. Not quite... Here's the shocker:

I use Vista with a 512MB card.

The Artega is done; just a few flaws left. I'll upload it this weekend.

Oh and I'm thinking of doing some render work for a few weeks. I'm going to start with the Maverick GT. Should I post them here or send it to you by email?

[BLANK]

Gotta agree with you about the SU addiction. Happened to me before (still does). Once I'm onto something, I'll go on forever until it's done. That's why I don't want to start making cars until summer.

I thought I'd stimulate the "interwebz" by this picture of the Artega. I've been working on rendering again and the result just keeps getting better and better!
