Choy's Car Design and Modeling - Updated 11/25/2010 start of concept car - 12%

Good day! This is actually my first topic in this forum. The result of my work is also a reflection of what I have learned so far just by lurking this site and because of my profession. Props to CGP gurus!

I'm modeling a '06 3series BMW. I started this project 3 months ago and work on it during my spare time. I chose this car because I'm really fascinated by bmw's simple streamlined design on their cars, and this specific model showcase it loudly.

By the way, napanood ko sa isang program sa AXN about the company who develops gran turismo. Sabi dun,about 6 months bago sila makatapos ng isang car model. Tama lang kasi mahirap pala talaga and mabusisi, detalyado dapat. Pangarap ko din magwork dun sa GT, super ganda ng facilities.

I will update this thread as regularly as I can. I will do a self-designed, modified version after I'm done modeling this stock one.

Please feel free to spot errors and areas for improvement in my topology. Much appreciated. TIA

Pictures of the car used for my reference.




3dsmax 2010, Vray sp4a, Vray RT


I encircled the areas which is most difficult for me.









Ito yung topology ko for the first week. Medyo sablay, halos inulit ko din lahat.


Designed and modeled my own wheels for the stock version. Deep dish offset! Yeah!





Attention to details. Labels(JWL and VIA) and tire valve.


With my Advan AD09 concept.

Oh and paturo nadin kung pano ginagawa ang ganito. Yung rendered wire frame I mean. Is their a tutorial for this? May idea ako kung pano ginagawa pero baka may mas magandang way kayo. Thanks gurus!

Sir kalbo peram pic. I hope it's okay.

welcome dito sa CGP sir...

nice details on the wheels... abangan namin progress nito...


about sa dyan sa image sir, 2 sets of renders yan... beauty pass + wires... then merge ko lang sa PS... using gradient mask...

Thanks for the info sir kalbo! I will try that out.

galing nyo mag model sir!!!!

Render mo ba yun?nice rendering san ka kumukuha ng blueprint dude oo tama ka it takes time talaga to complete the details wait namin to modify mo na din konte lagyan mo pakpak hehe.

theomatheus - thanks sir!

gaara - sorry medyo misleading pala ang post ko. Hindi ko render yung 2 pics ng car, reference ko lang po in making the model aside from the blueprints. Dito madaming blueprints: www.the-blueprints.com

Update lang mga sir, pero di padin tapos. Medyo mabagal ang progress kasi madaming trabaho.

Side mirror



grill


Windshield, rear windshield, windows


currently working on the tail light.

galing aabangan ko ito... baka pwede nyo na din gawan ng tutorial sir after matapos, ambition ko din magmodel ng car kaso hindi ko alam kung paanu umpisahan hehehe.

yes sir plano ko na nga talaga ipost yung mga tutorial. pero mostly mga basics lang mga napulot ko. the rest sariling diskarte na.

will post it later.

Sir Keziah aabangan ko yan sir TIA

UPDATE - 10/28/10
Most of the parts bine-base ko nalang sa reference pics. basically ang makokopya lang talaga sa blueprint ay ang body and other visible exterior parts.

Started to define the lines. Still looks crappy.




Attention to detail



Side mirror


Head light



Tail light


Now we're getting somewhere!


Medyo matagal na proseso ang pag define ng lines kaya I decided to do the muffler first para di magsawa.
Slapped on some medium sized quad muffs.




Nearly finished. Latest topology





Cant' wait to render!

Thanks for viewing!

In defining lines, use edge extrude with 0 height and 0.002 extrusion base width or
use chamfer can also be used

other parts. I just figured out myself plus google. HTH

Update lang mga sir.
pagtayagaan niyo nalang. madetalye ako na tao. hehe

I found a walk-through on how to model a disc brake(front) so here it is.
I also modeled a rear disc brake but unfortunately, di ako naka save ng
pic sa sobrang excited maka-render. hehe


wishful thinking of having my own brand, hehe "choy's"

Staggered rims. wheels in the back are much wider. deep dish.



bitin ako sa look ng stock bumps. it has a missing ingredient. yes, a lip/chin! designed my own.

Cool ilawan mo na bro

Impressive!

Galing bro! Believe ako sa determination mong matapos to. Good luck!
