Vehicle: Skyline GT-R

[si_kick]

hey,

Heres my skyline. You may have seen a dodgey render of it in a recent thread but ive decided to go the other way and make it more of a street skyline rather than a track racing one. Ive still got to do some fix ups and extra details along with nismo and racing decals etc. but heres what its looking like so far, like always i'd love to hear all crits and or comments.

thanks

Simon

PS: Should i change the rims they dont fully satisfy me, any suggestions for what to make them as?

Nice car, i like the green. It gives it a cool look.what method did you use to model the car?

[si_kick]

hey all,
yeah i recon the greens ok. and yes skb875 i love em too. yeah ill post some wires in a sec. For now heres the latest render and im working on a new one with a different paint job. For the modelling i made one polygon then using the extender tool built off from it. anywayhere it is. later

Nice!!! :)

Just add a little camber to the wheels to give it that phat stance :p lol then you can do a render of it doing a nice drift:D

[pblacklock]

it would be a cool car to see in a night setting/backdrop. make the details on the rims and green paint stand out.

cool car

It's looking pretty slick so far. The spokes on the rims look a little on the thin side, but that's just my opinion. Can't wait fo the final, with all the sponsorship decals. and maybe some fuzzy dice. yeah fuzzy dice. Everyone loves fuzzy dice. ;)

Now were talking peoples. Yeah i fully wanna do it driffting round a corner at night in a deserteded kinda suburb i think it'd look sick. Yeah i need to work on the mags abit in the way of detail. They should come out ok. I working on the background at the moment so ill post a render when its more underway.

Cheers

PS: Ill add some fuzzy dice for ya Rikki-Tik ;)

Cant wait to see some other renders....even small ones hint hint :D :D

Im also wondering if the scale of the carbon fibre texture on the bonnet is small enough ???? :rolleyes:

[si_kick]

Looks really nice, but did you try HDRI lightning ?

[si_kick]

hey thanks rigley, nah i havent tryied HDRI infact i dont even know what it is would u mind explaining?

[chrisisbacky2k]

wow very nice!!!!! talk about low ground clearance! wouldn't like trying to go over a speed bump in that :p

[RiGLEY]

hmm i am not too good at english, but I will try to cover quickly the basics of hdri -lightning:

-first you need to get an hdr image (hdri= high dinamic range image) you can find really good (and free :) ones around the internet easily, but there are some included with LW. So choose one, that you think is good for an environment for your car...
-load that image with image editor.
-under the scene tab select backdrop, and set up an image environment, and select your hdr image under the image environment properties.
-select your light , go to properties / global illumination, and turn on radiosity. For a (relatively) quick preview render choose interpolated radiosity, and give it a ... around 0.1 tolerance.
-now you can hit f9 , but you can further tweak your settings.
-if its too bright turn down your radiosity strength, or uncheck affect diffuse on your light properties panel.
-play with different settings, and images.
-have fun :-)
