orgelf - i have always loved your work!

this last one is especially spectacular!

i always look forward to seeing what you think of next

thanks for the tips edenux!

there is still much more modeling work to be done also i hope to build this eventually

let me know if you have any questions. there is also some of the older renders and more information here:

also here is a more updated screenshot with new tires and brake calipers

a car that i have been working with on and off for a few months...still needs quite a bit of work, i might try to make this one complete with suspension, frame, etc. the main problem now is that i just need more time to work on it! keep in mind my rendering skills aren't the best, i only spent a few minutes in vray

any comments/critiques would be appriciated

the tool used for making the rims is the follow me tool. for the spokes after i made one, i just copied and rotated it to make the rest.

thanks for the question hussel hann! the way i start out is by drawing a 2d shape. this is the general shape of the car (cut through the middle). everything is made completely from scratch (although im sure there are possible cues from production cars). like liam said, precision in the beginning isn't extremely important as you can always adjust the model as you go. however, for most cars i will use general dimensions (from production cars) such as length, width, and wheelbase to start. other than that there is no measuring - all by the look. an infinite amount of patience definitely helps these renders are from a while ago because i just don't have time (because of school) to design cars right now. its hard to know for sure, but i would bet on average i spend 60-80+ hours working on just a single car. this includes many iterations of minor changes until i get the car just how i want it to look. however, there is still much i need to learn/much to be completed.

here is a picture of my current electric bike:
