c&c plz

im starting to work on the shaders now an im a little stuck
i want the windows to have a dark tint an to behave like glass ie if u look at 90 deg to it u can see inside but the +/-90 the more reflective it becomes

i think i need a sampler info node but im not sure how to use it

1 wiuld i use a blinn or asth for the intial material

2 do connect the si into the refelctivity or transparancy

if ne of u guys knows some free tuts on this plz post up them or ur advice

c&C welcome

thx

pbman

Hey man
Thats lookin realy cool!!

But i was wondering what was under the headlight in the hole. Is that an extra light?

Overall though its looking great

Looking forward to seing the textured version.
:beer:

front fog lights I would have thought

thx guys

azman - j5ive is corret the extra hole is for the front fog lights

will hopefully have some updates up over the weekend

man its late


neways heres a quick render test
the shader is way to reflective fo me and still needs some work just testing out lighting setups at the mo

for some reson wen i render in mental ray i get this error message saying that
: circular.fillet.XX is not a real nurbs suface cannot render
this happens for a lot of fillets ne 1 know y??
some times it wont render at all an some times it will

help me on this plz - thx

help and c&c needed thx

The front mesh grill is definately on the right track but the individual pieces need to be much thinner. Also, don't forget to check your tangency between halves. I have modeled some cars for weeks only to figure out that I forgot to check this and ended up started over.

Nice reflections. The scene is a little dark but is shaping up nicely. Also, you may want to try adding a speckle effect to the paint shader like dilberts' image on the link below:

A 3d rock outAlpha dropped onto a blinn's specularRollOff, combined with another transparent blinn with a tight highlight. Combined meaning drop them both into a layered shader.

pbman, check your pm also.

hey thx for the crits

the front grill was a temp as i was too lazy to make it
i have found tinytools that lets u do multi extrude so i will remake it but thinner

tangency
i admit at first i did nit take this into consideration so i tested it a week ago an sawsome probs - hopefuly with the hist on some of the parts they will be an easy fix but there was one i think thatneeded changin
- nothing too majour now though

i will look into this paint set up u have suggested

thx

are you still working on this ? looking great bud

your usin the tutorial on cg cars right?

nice work man i gave up on that tut after like 10 tries of layin the curves:p

good to see you around too i havent seen you in a while:beer:

acid44 - tes this is the one from cgtotal
all i can say is keep trying its a nice method of making a car
