Maya for 3D Printing - Rapid Prototyping

In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

You should add some paint flakes into the car paint. If you look closely at a car, there are actually two layers. One is the base coat, and the other is a lacquer. Mental ray has a built in car paint shader. You might want to take a look into that.

Also, with the shaders in the inside of the show room. You might want to take a look into the MIA material that comes with mental ray. It has a lot of useful presets for glass, wood, etc.

Looking good though! Keep going!

Imagination is more important than knowledge.

640 pixels wide seems like a stamp on any screen now days... mines only 1300 px wide.

I don't really see an issue.... I always post my images at about 700 - 800 px wide.

I like the yellow carpaint but is it just me or does it seem a little overexposed? And the interior is coming along well, I'm just not crazy about the tile texture user added image

The space between the tiles also needs to be smaller and going down now it looks like the splicing is higher then the tiles.

Looks nice overall though user added image

Trusses

Looking good, though I would say you have waaaay too many roof trusses supporting your roof! Trust me, I design these things everyday!

I would only keep every one in three trusses.

Could you not shrink the tiles down in PS. Sorry for the pun but they look pretty tileable and should look good joined together?

Cheers

Agree with the size of the tile.

feeling abit unmotivated by this just decided to composite a scene for the car while my other comp renders the showroom(mia_materials take so damn long to render) so here it is though theres no bump maps yet just a preview to see how it would look like
