Description
Soo I finally got to work on that car WIP I posted some time ago. Almost got it finished now! well - what is finished - the trouble is that I need to have a good talk with the programmer(s) of the game engine we're making so I know if we need all kinds of separate parts or not. next to that I still need some mirrors on the side
triangle count 1989 (target was 2000
)aand I used the same Vray settings as with my sparkplug because it just looks way better than it is

probably not, gave me enough information that I needed at that time.

very well done, i just have a thing for low poly cars.

vet bakkie joh
komt er nog een leuike skin overheen ^__^ ?

that's the idea

okay
so, what about lime-green then
with two black stripes from back to front ^_^

we could have multible texture maps for the car

Very nice work man. Looks really nice so far. You should add a smoothing angle to some of the edges though. Some are too sharp IMO.

In Maya it's soften/harden Normal Angles, in Max it's called Smoothing Groups, in Wings it's called "Auto-smooth" and in Lightwave it's called smooth threshold. Not sure about any other apps though.

oh I did those, only you can't really apply smoothgroups to faces that have more difference than like 70 degrees, because then you'll get weird shadows and stuff
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmm.. Well, then you'll have to look into your modeling and add bevels to some of your sharp edges. Although, I still think a smoothing angle can work. I use it for everything.

Hmm.. I think I like it!
But still you shall make the corners a bit more "soft"
Ya I know I dont have any power to say that beacuse i can't do such a good job my self.. But It will give you one more start
Good job lad!

hehe I know but you mean, but I ran out of triangles to do that
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ran out? 0o''
Sorry but I dont understand?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I got a limit of 2000 triangles, I'm pretty close to that and don't want to do a lot more than 2000

oh...
Then I think it's very cool indeed dude!

Wait, you're telling me that you are going to make side view mirrors with only 11 triangles? You're crazy!
I am always amazed by low poly models. I am so bad at keeping track of my poly count, and as such, most of my models end up super complicated.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
haha well....yeah? no I first deleted some of the inner polys, and than added the side view mirror, but they are only 18 triangles each
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I added the side view mirrors (still need to add a rear view mirror) and the triangle count is now 1975
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Good Lord! That is quite impressive.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hehe the thing is that I wanna run an internship at a game company that specializes in games for the Nintendo DS, and the DS can only produce like 4000 triangles per frame, so that's 2 cars right now
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Indeed. Well, good luck with that.

Great job!
Have you tried to put an TurboSmooth or MeshSmooth modifier on it? or will it become to complex for the game engine ?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah that would be too big, we're very restricted to triangle count and meshsmooth like 10 folds that number
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
aha ok, yeah true it would be a lot more

^^ thnx, it's now larger renderd
