Well yet another update!!! I hope I am not over loading you guys with to many updates.

Anyway, I now that the TailLights are modeled I have started on the interior area of the doors. So far on the door I have the metal section done. I will begin the arm rest section next giving dimension to the interior area.

I am going to model several of the interior areas now as I feel it will be easier to manage it now than after I get the glass and T TOP done.

I was fortunate to find several great interior pics to work from but I wish I had more to have more accuracy. I am working with limited information which increases the odds of some area of interior not being accurate.

If anyone has any more refference pics I would love to have access to them if you are willing please let me know.

me likes what me sees:D when i have something like 5 minutes to cool down, maybe tomorrow, ill have a closer look on proportions:)

Thanx for the coments about liking what you see!!!

I am well pleased with the Model, though its not a picture of perfection its a good representation of the Car.

As far as proportions, lol, I am sure you are not going to point out things I havent already seen.

After finding a wealth of refference photos after getting way into the model I found that my limited photo refferences were not enough to get an accurate representation.

So now I am stuck with, will I remodel an area, well I have proven I am willing to do that at least I was LOL.

Because of new Photo refferences I found in the modeling process I remodeled the front end completely, I then later remodeled the hood scoop area again because I accidently found a site where a guy posted some personal pics He took of this car from a show.

It showed more needed changes. In fact after modeling the rear bumper I found a great Photo from a car show that showed close up details and I found a desire to want to remodel it, and I may even yet do it.

There are many areas that need correction, some wil get that correction while I am ready to chalk some of the others as experience and better equip myself on the next Model with better refferences from the begining so as to not have to make so many changes later on in the game.

Right now I am trying to figure out areas of interior, and this is a real job because where as the exterior has limited photo refferences, the interior refferences are nearly non existant.

For instance, I can find pics of the front area, but only 1 or 2 of the rear area and both of them show limited amount of info.

I spent several hours searching for every image I could find and came up pretty much empty handed.

If I knew there was one in the area I would go take pics. But since this is a concept vehicle I doubt there are any of these floating around here in my neck of the woods.

I have already descided that I will probably Model the final version of the GT, the coupe maybe! At any rate I found plenty of pics on it and there are some in my area to provide more info to model from.

On another note, Updater, I now I have the floor and wheel wells modeled in. I am trying to determine how to model some of the areas I can not see in hte interior or have limited refferences of.

If anyone has personal pictures or knows of someone who does, please fill me in would love to see them.

Hmm... I wouldn't get too bogged down in making the model hyper accurate however (leave that for the AutoCAD engineers) ... Remember the first rule of 3D - "If it looks right, it is right"

I agree!! Not shooting for perfect, well, actually I guess I am trying to get it as close as I can using the limited refferences I have.

So far I think Its looking real good. I went out and looked at an 05 today, and my Son said Hey Dad thats the car you are modeling :)

It must be ok if He recognized as we pulled in right :)

LOL

Anyway, more updates soon.

MBStudios

I think its about the claim everyone ought to have to him or herself, I personally feel not really lucky if I know there is a mistake although you wont find him:)

Hi Kermit,

Uh Kermit, Im not really sure to be honest exactly what you are saying here. Perhaps you could clarify a bit? :)


MBStudios

Ok Guys Here my New Updates .... I have 2 pics that have several renders in them as to give more renders and angles.


I have started the Dash area because in order to finsih the doors interior I need to have the base shape of my dash in order.

Its starting to really come together!!! :)


MBStudios

Heres a few Renders :)

MBStudios

Coming together nicely. I can't really add much because I don't really know much about cars or car modelling. But I like what I'm seeing.

Thank You! I have been enjoying building this one. Glad your enjoying it!

More updates soon, I hope when I arrive at the end of this journey it will be as good as I hope! Tahts half the fun, to see what we end up with I think :)

MBStudios

great work...i like it for what i can see.....why not add some more light in the scene ?

ah and you have tow unwelded points somewhere in the back of the roof. ;)

Thanx, and yeah I was thinking about adding more light next renders, good suggestion. Also, your right about the unwelded points, but to early to do anything about them. I still have some modeling and shaping on the top before I finalize it and make sure its all together.

More updates soon!!!


MBStudios

Here is an update of the Dash, and doors


MBStudios

Heres more a little closer

Hey MB, You really have caught the cars personallity. I pose a request. Can you post Front, Rear, Side and Top images to be used to create a blue print drawing. Since there are non out there at the present time. I would like to model this one myself. Maybe make a GT version of it with ground effects added.

Again great work!!!!!:)

cheers,
Dragon99

Thanx for the comments, as far as the special request for pics, I will put some together as soon as I am done modeling.


Here are some updates on the Dash.
