How to make rusty wrecked cars Tutorial. Using cheap models how to amend shading domains and apply rust shaders to your 3d models.

I start the tutorial by looking for cheap (low poly) wrecked cars. The only ones I could find that were reasonable priced were (inevitably) in max format. So they need converting to something usable by Poser or Carrara.

I briefly explain how to install 3ds max (for poser people).

The only way I could export successfully was via obj format, but the shading domains are all over the place and I couldn't get materials out. Even if I had they would need editing to rusted shaders.

I explain how to model cars to make them look wrecked (move doors, bend plains etc).

I now go through the processes I took in stages. First up reduce and rename the shading domains (there were tons of them when only a few are needed).

Looking forward to pt 2 Steve, as with all your stuff - you have a very engaging voice. Perhaps a Hillman imp or a truimph dolomite on view?

Thanks airflamesred.

I'm no car expert so if you want to name the cars as they come up be my guest! I'm pretty sure the range covers the era of the 70s through to present day.
