Green Toaster's Car Sketches

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 . . .

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.

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 . . .

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.

Sure, that would be really great. I really enjoy seeing the finished models also - I'm sure others do too - it's all great.

I'm not at my computer now but hope to be there later & will then post some models - they're all pretty much unfinished which provides lots of variety for making them "yours".

Happy modeling,

Brad

[Marian]

Here is my version:D

Then here you go with a last render of your truck. I seem to have been able to solve my spotlight problem; the "trick" was what is about evident; these reflectors are not just small table lamps.

[GreenToaster]

Amazing . . . really very nice!!! Thanks Ely for sharing your inspiring work - and also to everyone else. These contributions really get me motivated to push forward - if I only had more time
