Green Toaster's Car Sketches
-
. . . someday when I grow up . . . I'm going to draw cars using SketchUp . . . hope the animation works on this image . . . chee-z effects . . .
-
With these images, I was hoping to show one of the ways I'm modeling the wheel wells - the pink areas.
I'm not convinced I really know what I'm doing . . . sometimes I amaze myself at how primitive and crude these cars are but . . . like picking up a rough stone, sometimes I can see a smooth polished stone underneath the rough edges.
I believe I'm getting a little bit better at this, but regardless, I still find it fascinating and still very enjoyable.
-
. . . in case anyone wanted to see the images that were deleted, I'm reposting them, or some of them . . .

pic 1 --> I think the blue thing was the result of eating a bowlful of cottage cheese that'd been in the fridge too long. :hurling:
pic 2 --> I tossed a super-quick top (SketchyFFD.rb) onto the body of one in the archives . . .
Happy modeling,
Brad

And the "orangemobile" . . . tossed on some wheel wells . . . honestly, I'm not color blind . . .
-
looking pretty good
-
I see some really good stuff. I think the thing about cars is the mix of hard and soft edges. The bottom one above in black and white shows that for me.

Thanks for the comments.
I don't particularly like pick up trucks, but a student asked for one . . . so . . . here's a start on a p/u truck . . .
-
. . . I got bored with this one . . . as I mentioned already, I don't really like trucks . . . anyone wanna finish this one?
Happy modeling,
Brad
-
I would like to make some work on it
-
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
. -
nice job mr G
-
Thanks Ely.
Here's a super-quick form study - nothing really radical, just messing around with it . . .
-
NICE!!! Thanks for contributing. I'm hoping Ely & some others will provide their versions also.
-
a render
-
Is the truck going the wrong way down the road?
But seriously, nice render - what'd you use for that?
-
Dont you mean the right way
(it could even be parked, but that would spoil the fun)
-
Just wanted to try something new w/the FFD Ruby script . . . just having fun . . . the near-instant "what if" factor is so cool . . .
-
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.
