    Re: My 3D World - Or just the car.

    Here's one I did a couple weeks ago, using HDRI lighting, you can make a pretty dull scene look awesome. There are NO physical lights in this scene. Zero.



    I suggest looking up some good tuts on it.

    As far as Meshsmooth goes, it bends things down the middle of each panel of a polygon (with 1 iteration, with 2 it bends in thirds, and you'll never need more than 2 almost ever), so the further apart each wire is from its parallel, the more extreme the bend. Example.

    Imagine those are the spacing in your polygons. The first section would yield a steady curve if it were going around a corner, the second section would produce a much sharper curve, and the third would produce a really long lazy curve. So in relation to your model, clean up the corners of the car, add a more densely packed amount of quads where you want it to smooth more sharply.

      Make the body white, please.

      I AM ASHAMED OF MY STUPIDITY AND MUST COMMIT SEPPUKU. FORGIVE ME, FFR.

        Now instead of rendering it in 356658578 different colors, why not go back and refine it?
        No my car itself is only around 600k polys but the four wheels is also around 800k polys (200k each) yeah they're EXTREMELY high poly but I turn down the literations when I work on it.

        I've refined the duo color (sides) and I've extruded the door now, but I'll rather begin on a new car than continue refining this. I like your car, BMV suv much?

        What is your enviroment?

        And my computer doesn't crash before I reach around 5 million polys. Not POLYGONS or FACES but polys. I'm not sure if there's a difference, but hit "7" while in 3DSM and you get a fps/polys/vertex in top corner.

        Also, nice car, how did you solve the front lights and door edges? I extruded them but it's not pretty on my wireframe.

        EDIT: Completely flat white or pearlscent?

          As I said earlier in my post, make seperate parts.
          If you make everything out of one part, how do you expect to be able to open doors and such?

            This. Make it pretty much like how a real car is made. Make each fender, door, hatch etc separately.

            Yeah go try starting a new car, a veyron is pretty curvy, might wanna try something less complex, muscle cars are usually fairly easy.

            And my environment is just a plane, nothing else.

              I already stated in a post I regret not making it in atleast 4 parts; hood/roof/door and the split after vents xD

              Also I just began a Z4 tutorial, it's ridicolously bad english but it's well illustrated:
              EDIT: ups too big
              EDIT II: Progress
              EDIT III: More progress!

              You can't really compare my two fronts as this new one is alot, alot better x)

                Yeah the new car is done, not the lights and grill though I'll draw textures instead
