well job ....when this is over will be fantastic so great

Another small-ish update.

Having reviewed some actual DTM wheels, I changed the design of the centre nut in the wheel. There are some errors in it so there is some lines even after smoothing but might leave them as I don't know how noticable they will be come the final render.

Clay model


Quick mock up with some materials on


Some work done on the main body too, it doesn't look like much but I have spent a lot of time smoothing out the rear. Next job will be finishing off all the rear wheel winglets and attaching them back to the body of the car. Then I can move on to the diffuser and the rear will then hopefully be finished.

It's been a while but unfortunately life gets in the way sometimes. I am still working on this, I have finished the back off and done some general tidying up and modelled the diffuser and floor as well as started some work on the side skirt. I think the next job will be figuring out how to attach all the little winglets as I have put it off long enough.

Being new to 3D modelling I wasn't sure how to render properly. I found some tutorials online but they seemed to be using different versions or just weren't clear. Finally found one that works so thought I would try it out. This is not going to be my final BG, it just a free one I found so just used it for a test. It isn't perfect but for a first go, I don't think it is too bad. Now I know I will be able to get the final renders done, next step - finish the model.

I haven't had much time to work on this recently, so again only a small update. I've got some time off work soon so hopefully I can get this project moving quicker.

As I said only a small update, I'm still using the HDRI as above as it was free and it works for now but I found a better method for rending hence the better reflections. I have managed to get the rear wheel wings finished except the top one but I haven't worked out how I am going to model it yet. Modelled and textured the rear lights too. I tried to actual model the lights but they looked nothing like lights so will stick with a texture for now. I realised after it rendered there is an error with the texture but I will get it fixed for next time.

Been a couple months since I touched this but I have made some small progress. I have finished modelling the side skirt area and the rubber seals and glass for the windows. I have also made a start on the front but it is very rouch at the moment.
