Description
What can I say it's been a pretty long time in the making. Between various redesigns, engine swaps, retexturing there was also me learning a hell of a lot of new stuff, the experience has been an epic one
Vehicle is created as a mod for Carmageddon Reincarnation so I did have to follow some limits of the cars that are in the game. The car is built to be smashed to bits and therefore has a good number of detachable parts

Thanks to SuperStar-Stock for the broken glass texture (which will only be seen once the windshield is damaged in-game, but credit where credit is due)

I hate the retopology/ retexturing part where you bake a whole geometry in to simpler models. That kills me.

This particular model didn't have any baked details but yeah it can be a tedious process depending on the kind of mesh you are working with, you just have to do it a lot and it becomes pretty painless

I guess. Actually it's my worst pain in ass. What is my main problem - I lose will to work during that process, or vision how it should look at the end. I had two robots. But I can't finish them because I've lost vision of some parts. And those created as "improvisiation" just suck ass. Basically I had idea how looks head and nec of machin k- but I can't see in mind clear vision of how they are connected to torso.

I tend to focus on the higpoly first and get that finished before doing anything else, that way you can keep you eye on the overall shape without worrying about the technical side. On the plus side if your model isn't going to end up in a game engine there's usually no need to do high to low baking

Do you use zbrush for highly detailed models. Or just 3ds max/blender and it's hard surface tools?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
For hard surface stuff I use just Maya and some great external boolean tools, they really speed things up

oh, yes. Lately I bought simple addon for blender called "Hard ops" . CSG is great for fast hard surfaces. But it's topology is usually messed up after fewoperations. After all. I'm using method involving tuborsmootch/subivison . But it takes a lot of time.

Yeah subdiv workflow takes long for hard surface stuff, unless you're willing to use a lot of ngons then it becomes much easier and faster

ughh... at this moment I'm learning how to make retopology on minigun. And it was look insane at first. But I get idea. The worst part is that they need to be made only from quads because ngons creates glitches after applying displacement maps with bumps and scratches.... ;-(
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah allright, yes unfortunately its better to have everything in quads if you're using displacement

With my rubbish internet and probably 100 mb worth of textures I don't think it will work very well

You can always lower their size and save as jpegs.

True, I just need to find some time to do it properly

It looks great but the next time you have to add the Eagle into a scene with a background and everything!!!
Even the driver has to be sitting in the car.

A pretty impressive car. For some reason, that razor saw edge over the top reminds me of some cartoon car I think. It almost looks like a circuit board in the see through view.
I see a little of the Shelby Cobra 427 in it, a little of the Ferrari Daytona, a little of the Ford Mustang Fastback and maybe a little of the '53 Corvette in it. Perhaps another more modern Euro car that I can't quite put my finger on.
It's hot, it looks aggressive, it looks cool, though I think I'd hate to drive it because those front fenders might be a little too tall to see over them. Yet, it's for a game and not real life so I guess that isn't a critical concept.

Glad you like it
The design is actually an amalgamation of the previous eagle designs rather than being based on real life cars

I didn't mean to suggest you were actively seeking to replicate other cars, I was just alluding to, in a similar vein as the Greek concept that there are a finite amount of original stories and all other stories are simply innovations based on the finite few, that there are likewise a finite amount of "original" shapes for a car.
I think I remember an automotive design manual I read, back in my twenties, that was written based on car designers input from 20+ years earlier and they stated that basically all car future designs are based on either a wedge or an egg or a combination of the two. So, in that regard, the wedge has been around for thousands of years, and the egg, well... people are still arguing what came first, the chicken or the egg. In that vein, we are all simply making innovations of what came before us.
My point is, I was not pointing an accusatory finger at you. Just noting that, to me, your design if anything, has a pedigree of elements of successful and widely appreciated production cars in it.
Sorry, I get long winded when I first wake up.

Oh no it's cool, I'm not offended, I'm well aware that cars or their styling ques will look like other cars, it's inevitable since there's so many of them

very nice model
the car reminds me of the bugatti veyron
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Really? a Veyron? Literally the last car I would think of to describe this hehe

just from the side view, i think it's because of the big wheels
