Sorry for the spam , but in this topic you can show only pictures of YOUR car ? Or do you can just make nice screen and show it here?

If it's a 3d vehicle, boat, plane, heli then you are in the right topic

Here you can talk about real cars

It's photos of cars that you've modeled yourself. You can't just take a picture of a random downloaded vehicle and post it here.

[Tchuck]

So. I decided to go for harder things, and from now on I'm going to be modelling using Rhinoceros 4. Working on a F-40. After 8 hours of work, this is what me gots:

(Rendered in 3dsmax of course. durr.)

 

Looking rough, but still haven't got to the filleting phase. That will either be heaven or hell. But it'll make it look 1000000s times better. Also can't wait to start detailing this baby, the way I love detailing sh*t on Rhino I'll probably end up making a fully functional 3d engine

[JostVice]

What is so special about rhino, Tchuck? The model looks sweet anyway, loving the detail with the bumpers and the air intakes I like the render effects, makes it look like that material that is often used to model concepts vehicles

 

Here is my sweety...

 

If anyone has a countach, I need some resource photos of the underbody...

[ParoXum]

Some f*cking good progress there JostVice. I'm imprerssed.

[Hollaz]

Really nice Countach JV! And i see how you used the IV Infernus emblems.

[Tchuck]

Eh, it's different. Rhino you really can't polymodel, so you use NURBS. And by using NURBS, you get access to a whole lot of tools that can really work wonders!

One thing I could never get to work in 3dsmax was booleans. It would cut up badly, it would make sh*t meshes. Now on rhino, if I need to cut something up, all I have to do is draw a line and bam, it's cut! And the remaining mesh is great! That's so helpful when cutting up car parts, cutting holes for extra details and plain old detailing. When I was making a wheel on rhino, I did all the screws and stuff, because it was easy. Then I went further and made the brake system, complete with braking pads, disks, every little screw and hole there is. And it was easy, and not system consuming!

Let me give you an example.

Say I want to make a curved-ish grill. On max, I'd most likely skip to a bump map.

On rhino:

You start making a surface

 

Then you draw the grill like thing you want to cut (note how it doesn't need to touch the surface)

 

Then, you do a simple split operation using the drawing as a cutting surface

 

A simple extruding process, and voilá!

 

Is there a way to do that on max? Probably. Is it as simple? Maybe not.

So that's why I like Rhino!

[SLAYERMAGGOT]

Hey Tchuck, your Ferrari F40 looks so damn sweet

Amazing Countach, Jost_Vice

 

Boths would looks great in GTA IV

[Marfi]

Soooo... its almost finished.

You could create and copy a bunch of 6 sided cylinders to creat your honeycomb effect, then use boolean subtraction to create the cut outs with them.

Whether it is simpler I couldn't say.

The only thing I use Max for, apart from peds.

[Tchuck]

With rhino, you use an array command, and it'll automatically place all the hexagons in the right position. Max has a way of screwing up with booleans. At least it always did for me

[SLAYERMAGGOT]

Hey Marfi, this Polonez looks great

[Kowaah]

something cool?

 

[okei]

A mix of the NRG-500 and the Sanchez I presume?

[Kowaah]

Okei hit's the spot!

[_Rob_]

Okei hit's the spot!

sounds so wrong to my sick mind... and yeah nice looks like a good bike in sa style too

[gamesguru]

Hey guys, this is my first mod ever, and I mean ever:

I hope you guys like it, I'm very proud. I've had a couple of failed attempts at getting into modding, but I got some tips, and decided to give it another crack. Now I know it's not the greatest tire, but it's good for a first time you've got to say. Anyway, problem is, does anyone know a program that can convert it into a dff (from Sketchup) file? I know 3DS Max does this, but that would mean I would need to keep downloading the trail (Zmodeller or gmax perhaps?). So yeah, any help there would be appreciated. And when I next get time, I might add a rim as well and show you guys .

 

 

Peace out.......

[jake-dk]

looks nice!

 

my freind have a yellow scooter that is a fast street editon and it looks like this much..

 

any download link

[Kowaah]

nop,i dunt see any links.

 

mostly of ALL mods by ME is exclusive FOR ME.

1) 3D Studios Max -> Tools -> Array.

It can be 1D, 2D, or 3D array as noted in the array dimensions box.

 

2) Polygons don't always seem to be 100% with booleans though 3DSM's latest 'ProBoolean' tool has been flawless for me thus far.

 

 

 

 

 

3) Given your vast interest in rendering, what is your opinion on Rhino's material/render capabilities?

What an incredible waste of polys Id just make a 3 poly surface and use a texture with an alpha channel.

[okei]

Everybody knows how terrible alphas look in GTA.
