The "What Are You Working On?" Thread

Looks totally rad! So vintage and at the same time so futuristic, also like the seemingly long wheelbase even though it's probably super short .

It's more that it's very narrow really. 1.3m track and the body's 1.6m wide. The crosskart I made is wider. Wheelbase is 2.3m which is on the lower end of typical.

Wheel arches and front/rear bumpers done. Facias still need integration, rear panel not done yet. Hood and front fender around pop up headlights still need adjustment as does C pillar but it's in one piece again.

Wheel arches are super hard to get right on this car, it's like 3 lines that run from the front bumper to the rear in changing angles and distances...that said, finally got those two horizontal character lines in the rear bumper to diffuse into the wheel arch right.

Pretty sure I can keep everything except interior below 200k with all missing details and optimization without using subdivision and still get a smooth surface all around.

Finishing and optimizing 5 sets of wheels and 4 sets of bodykit is pure bliss

Bottom pic shows how as soon as you introduce textures and transparency to headlights good looks go out the window. Pop ups work with transparent and diffused material on the glass. Bottom lights are barely visible behind a transparent and very dark texture. Will see how it looks in KS Editor in a few days.

Decided to follow the path of the P13 rather than the Russell-Alexis, and do textured Dzus and rivets instead of modeling them. Largely because this car's sheetmetal is entirely riveted on so the interior has maybe 200 rivets. I also made some nice nut-on-bolts but haven't placed any yet.

Today being a texture day anyway, I traced out the brand logo.

Might end up tweaking the silver, this is just a GIMP built-in "horizon" gradient. On the car it can be reflective.

Looking stunning, man!

Looking stunning indeed !
before going calling the exterior done, and go through the hassle of baking etc.
i would adjust some hard edges

like this for example :

where you will need to bring the existing line of edge closer to make it look sharper
or create a new line of edges to make it sharper

and to make more sense, i'll quote @garyjpaterson and his post here :

Thanks man! And also thanks for linking to Gary's post I hadn't seen that. That said, that is what I mean with optimization, in no way did I want to call it done. You see the same irregularities between wheel arch and the body extensions front and rear, around the door handle, rear panel from trunklid across the 3/4 panel down through the rear light edges, etc. etc.

When I truly think I'm done I'll post a wireframe of the whole car to collect feedback from you gusy on which areas need more attention. Thing is, I originally modeled this using subdivison and abandoned that approach after @A3DR mentioned it's best to model a smooth body without subdivision and seams. This is what I'm coming from (with 3 times the geometry which was obviously overkill)...

Goal is to get to that smoothness again with the current 'low-poly' main body.

Helmet almost finished, release this afternoon

Did everything, what I could on the chassis. Started the wheels and the suspensions.
Day x+3 progress:

 

[SellerieMitDip]

The #80 is finished! Some tweaking to be done to the #81 for a scheduled upload tonight!

 

[Fat-Alfie]

That's nice!

I do have to put the driver in the right place at some point but it's much easier once there's a seat.

More rows of rivets (it's up to 130 ish with a few obvious missing ones around the feet, so my guesstimate of 200 was fair), added the glass bulge and the fairly subtle inside edges of the glass.

It doesn't really have real physics but it's nice to imagine driving the Targa Florio in it. Someday...

Beauty! Thanks

I made all of the suspensions today, but they aren't look amazing. Is it necessary to create detailed suspensions? What do you guys think? Here are some pictures from the original car and the model.

Since you quoted me before about the subdivisions thing, I'm not sure if that came across correctly. You clearly NEED to subdivide that mesh a bit more to have smoother edges, specially around the roof pillars, and to avoid having reflection issues on the wheel arches with so much triangulation going on there.
Check out this polygon flow, it's below 170k triangles without interior (to compare with your 200k limit), that amount of density allows you to keep the seams and cuts more even and smooth than having fewer subdivisions in the mesh.

All this subdivisions talk....

I like the fact that you not only brought my dream car (the 993) to AC, but also seem to be a fellow Rush fan.
