Austin 7 Chummy 1927

Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world

Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Hi all,
i'm first time here and all works are great.

This is my last work!!!

Maya nurbs patch modeling, not trimed

This particular car is officially known as an 'Austin Seven Type AD tourer', but always referred to as a 'Chummy'. This one left the Austin factory at Longbridge, near Birmingham, in October 1927.

Any comment would be very helpfull, so please feel free to post comments.
i hope you like it?

The car looks so real! I like how you added every single little thing and looks like it took a while. How long did it take? Good job by the way, I like the texturing and the lights user added image

Sasa,

Nice looking model. I am a poly modeller, but I feel that I should use NURBS a bit more than I currently do, especially pathc modelling. Nice Render also, Mental Ray I take it or did you use another render engine?

hi R@nSiD [Chris],

i prefer Maya software render and RenderMan, but in this case i used Mental ray render, because i did not satisfied with shadows with Maya software render. That's because is car to high, with an ambOccl shader (Mental Ray) as you can see i got nice clean shadows.

Nurbs patches is my main geometry.
Polygons (anyone can work with it, because you can learn polys with 2-3 days). My visa is: when you learned nurbs geo, the others geometry is peace of cake.

so, i'll post 2 new thread now, that's nurbs also

EXCELLENT work! Aside from the obvious quality of the model itself, I really like your choice of subject matter! I've always had a soft spot for old technology. Flashy modern sports cars bore me (though this comment is NOT intended to belittle the fine work that goes into modelling them), but old technology ALWAYS gets a second look from me, and your model got about eight or nine looks!! :-)
