Design forever...

I started digital paint sketching and this is one of the trials. It has the basic lines of American cars. I like it.

It's been so long that I couldn't blog for few months... After this time I made three brand new designs just for hand-exercise. I hope you like them. If you like them please appreciate or comment if you have a critics. You're all welcome :)

Alfa Zagato Day 14-15

At last, my new babe Alfa Romeo Zagato 2600 SZ finished. From now on new test renders are on the way.

I made two version of Alfa Zagato: one is low polygon count for games and the other is high poly version. The high poly version has nearly 1000K polygons interior and smoothing included.

Now the test render of high poly version is under construction and I'm giving you the very first images of my study.

Thnx for watching.

Alfa Zagato Day 13

Today was a very horrible day for me. I was too tired but as I promised started the engine of my Zagato and I put some pics about the engine.
I don't know why but, I just wanted to model the engine parts high resolution. Until now the poly count that I've reached is 212.532.
Here are the engine shots.

Alfa Zagato Day 12

Today, I finished the front and back seats. I finished rear mirror in the middle too. But I used MoI for modeling the mirror. It was just a trial to see how much is MoI powerful about modeling. I can say that you must use at least trial version once. And here some updates...

Alfa Zagato MakeUp Day 9, 10, 11

It's been so long not blogging here. But always to be continued... :D

Anyway, here are some updates about my Alfa Zagato 2600 SZ. I studied on interior of the car. You'll see that in some parts I tried to make poly modeling and on some parts I used NURBS. Everybody says that the NURBS modeling technique in 3dsmax is so weak. In my opinion, 3dsmax is very good in poly modeling but if you can solve the trick of NURBS then, you can make any model in NURBS. This is a fact that it's not so powerful like Rhinoceros but I can model some tricky parts in NURBS sooo quickly.

Alfa Zagato 2600 Day 7 and 8

It's been a long time for new progress on model but I could find some time to work on lately. So the progress is at the backend of the car.

I've managed to finish the tailboard of the car. And also the plate to carry the ID plate and backlights finished. There were some mistakes at the back. It was far from original but not anymore :D Here is the updates.

I want to talk about a technique for rounded corners. Especially, while using NURMS for smoothing, you know there will be so much mistakes. Polygons with other than 4 edges are not work with NURMS. So we try to make the the polygons with 4 edges. but sometimes we have to make 3 edge-polygon. There was one of them on my model at the back. As you see in the image above, I solve this problem with an extra edge-flow. An edge-flow starting from one of the edge of triangle polygon. You can multiply the edges as much as you want to smooth the edge. Anyway, I want to speak on this technique widely later.

Mechatronics... Maglev... Control Systems... BLAH BLAH BLAH!

I'm working on my thesis project in mechatronics. magnetic levitation and magnetic motion control system. It takes much of my spare time. I need more spare time. So I won't sleep more than 4 hours in a day :D It might help to go on for my Zagato.

It's been over a month from start day. Exterior is about to finish but I did nothing for interior of this oldie babe.
Coming soon... please wait for updates :D

OR Be my FOLLOWER :D

Alfa Zagato Day 6

Blog, blog, blog...

Now blogging some updates for my Zagato... Finished the side signals and rear-mirror on the right-hand of babe. Here are the updates...

I didn't put the bulb in the signal. I'll make the details by displacement map and just before rendering phase.
