That's All? Long Exhale...as I wipe the sweat off my brow....Good...I love the critique,don't mind someone pointing out those things,they all make me better,make my stuff better. I appreciate them....
Most of that was thrown together in a couple hours,the ocean was from another project,when I first set it in the scene,it turned all white no detail.
I added rocks,but when I went ahead to make the waves move,they appeared as Grey UFO's hovering above the water...
The Pier was weathered (kind of Blue/Grey),so were the benches..Everything almost looked Black and white..The sun is too big,for the scene is why the shadows appear funny.....
So all that stuff..isn't a big deal....I have a building that I worked on for 2 days,but then I thought,I did the Diner for the Isetta.
There are a ton of little details that drive me nuts,that I see..
*I changed the seat from a plain rounded seat,but they're the right size.The cockpit in reality is tight,and everything is packed in...Mine is almost as roomy as an escalade
*The head lights/taillights don't seem like they warp light,or have the thickness I want..I put a reflection plate,and a bulb to give it a more real look,and still doesn't look right...
*The whole windshield,and assembly,with the wipers.. Feels/looks not the way I hoped...
*There is a spot on all the fenders,where the hypernurb (I've rarely,almost never used hypernurbs in the past) twisted the polygon,the phong angle screwed up,and it makes the fender appear to look like it's been wrecked with some colors,materials,and angles...
*The original Color/Texture concept was a metallic maroon,to wine color with a red stripe.When I took it out of this lighting,It turned black,in HDRI lighting it looked black and red.When I made it it Teal,with no metallic,it turned sky blue.The few people that I showed,really liked the Blue car...My buddy and I dubbed the Red Metallic one (the Coke Can) I made it into a wall paper for my computer...So I had something for the model....
I'll stop boring the hell out of everyone...
The "Coke can"
The Original file (Parts/Textures/lighting I used to model it) it's really just a pile of polygons,not ever really grouped together,just copied and rotated to render out to post here.No color correction etc.etc.
Brian, I think You've asked me before about solid modeling, and I didn't have a clue what I do...I use Cinema4d,because a copy was given to me from buddy that the printing shop (defunct as of January of this year) he worked at bought,but no one knew how to use...Then I bought the update for it,but I'll be screwed when a new version comes out...
So I rendered out,and posted posted original file of the model so you can see most sides...I started out with a blue print (that was totally wrong),and ended up using different picture references..and a Cube Primitive...
I learned a TON of things making this,unfortunately, more stuff to bang my head against the wall and frustrate me...
