RiCkT vs Power^Steer|ng: Charger Challenge. A fight to the death!

[RiCkT]

i have no clue about zmod, i am sorry.
no its not zmod, its actually 3D Studio Max, with a few plugins/scripts, wich are: Vclay, PolySpeed and Freespline.
this programm is kind of out of rage for you thoo, i am a professional modeller ( i think i can call myself that ), i am making money with modelling and all, 3ds max costs between 4500 and 6000 euro in the full version.

the main difference between our meshes(hey, you just learned that ), not to speak of the experiance, i am modelling since almost 10 years now, is that he is doing a game model and i am doing a render model.
games cannot take alot of polygons, because it needs to render in real time, so the details are lower.
a render model is used for movies or just pictures, it can have a way bigger amount of polygons because the computer actually renders out each frame by its own, and it will never move in real time.
oh and a merely un-important difference is that he is using 3 sided polygons (triangles) and i am using 4 sided polygons.

now if you think i am cheating...heh...you will see that i can make a game model be as smooth as a render model, just look at my mustang (http://rick.nd4spdworld.com/Cars/2006_Mustang_GT/mustang_1024.jpg, http://rick.nd4spdworld.com/Cars/2006_Mustang_GT/contest_pics/screen8.PNG), wich has 10.000 polys and runs smooth in Need For Speed 6.

HOLY SHIT..... :eek:

what a damn moron I am..... well... now when theres a challange, I will never let you hijack my threads....

and thnx for posting renders.... now I know how to move with a professional modeler and renderer..hehe... welll for a fair challange, I think I should start the car again and this time it will more be a render model...

hey, are we working on SRT or RT?

going to post initial renders in the evening.

EDIT: If you have the blueprints, may I have them? On the other hand, I will be using this....

[RiCkT]

heh, yeah.
i am doing the SRT8.
yeah 3d blueprints are ok, you know someone already did that model in 3d or at least scanned it...(its the ea model, thats great, its scanned, so its more than accurate from the positions and sizes.)
so you will have less errors on shape guesses...

- Rick.

[Power^Steer|nG]

@Rick: Ok i started using the same.

Now I think I will be easily competing you.. if you take a look at this.... I think its professional enough to challange a pro.

I did all this is Zmodeler ... ahhhh... sketching every poly and when to this heavy amount (going to be) is a shit ... but I am still happy. Only rendered in studio max.. though i am not a good renderer.. This sort of rendering and lighting (actually theres only one global light right now) learnt from a tutorial and still not correct because i lost that tutorial.. seen on 3dm.com

nice start.
you know, theres a little trick that you might consider...avoid to post wireframe shoots, if youre not trying to show a certain part you need help with, even if people ask, its easier for them to steal your work then, or just to bitch about unneeded stuff, in the end its your work.

- Rick.

[monkey.wesley]

lol no wonder it looks so good. tomorrow is my last day of school until april so hopefully i'll be able to get at least 1/4 or my xlr "mesh" modelled. (check out my xlr thread over the next 2 weeks!) so apparently my "mesh" can be imported into 3ds max?

[RiCkT]

yes it can, but if you get 3ds max, i'll consider this warez talk!...i dont like people getting stuff off hand.

- Rick.

[RiCkT]

anyone wants an update? i am about to get you some new pics.

- Rick.

[Jaume08]

Sure. I can't wait to see your Charger. Once  you finish you should make some wallpaper,  something similar to your Mustang picture but with the charger :bigthumb:

[Power^Steer|nG]

ork. heres a little update... for now little because i was little busy outside so didnt modeled ... .now it is 15 minutes work... after the last images....

[RiCkT]

ok so your images dont work...heh...this is where you find out that you are messing with the faction...eat this:





(wheels are kind of placeholders, i want to NOT use my standard ones this time...:ugh:)

This fight is more one-sided than Mike Tyson vs a 5 year old.

rick, you'd win even if you didnt texture your charger.
