impressive indeed. could i make just a couple of small nitpicks though? the headlights, the line inside doesn't quite follow that on the outside. other than that, amazing. i couldn't pull something like this off even if i tried.

would anyone think about buying it when its finished, and what sort of price should i put it up for, thanks for your great suggestions!

Have a look at www.daz3d.com . They have some store items selling for $24.95. I think if you put your model to one of the sites which broker product they could tell you what to charge. You also need to find out if you need any sort of approval if it is an existing car.

Its not an existing car......this is a concept based around a bruttus 7-xr, this is not the same, it is a concept!

Then no problem. Are you going to do it with an interior and opening doors ?

Beautiful car ardphil! Very impressive modeling! I would think that a 3ds file would sell to a wider range of people than a .max file 'cause you can only open a .max file if you own 3DMax. If you are going to sell it for Poser and Bryce users I would make it an .obj file.

Amazing model. I dont think drac is right even a Lambo has little im-perfections and mis alighnments this is what gives cars thier individuality. 3ds File for sure. "would you take a cheque?????"8-) Cheers GG.

Whoa that is a sweet car. You put a lot of detail into that. I have a personal rule against using other people's models, but if I didn't this would definetly be on my list. I'm sure your sales will do fine with a model like that.

I'm wondering of those 'imperfections' around the headlights could be the lines for the glass shields....just a thought....

Yes thats where the glass will go, i will change the front end as soon as possible with the mesh, I have nearly finished testureing it now!

I just figured you would apply a trans map to the grille areas.

Like tjohn said. Most of the time those grilles are done by texturing rather than modeled in the mesh. So it's likely there's a trans-map for those parts that appear solid in this clay-style render. It saves on a lot of polys. (And when I say a lot, I mean A LOT. Especially if it's smoothed. Anyone else ever try modeling the grille mesh besides me?) Looks good, but the body panels around the lights do need vert tweaking. A bit of a pain, but worth it. Right now it looks like somebody cut the openings with a saber-saw. If you plan on selling this, nitpicks like this count.

You couldn't drive this on my road. Too many potholes, you would grind the bottom off it, LOL.
Beyond excellent model, Ardphil.

Im having a lot of trouble converting it from max to 3ds, 3ds max 6 keeps crashing, should i try doing it in safe mode or something?
ardphil posted Fri, 02 July 2004 at 9:26 AM
Im not sure its goining to convert to a .3ds file, what I am doing is using polycruncher in 3ds max 6, but it just crashes, I might need a bit of help getting it into 3ds! If anyone helps and I would be very gratefull! Thanks Phil :D
