Cool VW Kombi

Here is my favourite bus (Hippie Rulez)! I've almost finished the modeling part. Next time, you'll see it with textures... Comments are welcome!

Cya all! :p

great model! very detailed.

one little thing before you start to texture it though: the windshields are not curved on the real thing; they're flat, that's why they made it 2.

love the wheels too!

keep it up!

I think it's very good! I have to agree with DaBo for what concerning the wheels but it only depends on your taste, is not a tech issue..

Red face Next part...

I've not finished the modeling, some parts are missing. The mapping is just a preview, some mistakes are still there (bump for the doors, etc.). And after all of these modifications, I will try to make a nice render. For your information, there is 100 spots and 1 area light in the scene : 24 minutes to render it. I think it's not so bad for the quality...

nice!

Please explain how to navigate your site. I'm an idiot - all I could do is change the header & music. None of the other buttons loaded anything.

To navigate on my site, just click the buttons named "Home, News, Artwork, etc...". I don't think it's hard, but maybe you've got a problem with your Internet connexion.

Splendid work DKM!

Personally I think you should go with the old standard rims for the tyres but the ones you got now makes it look a little hotter which is cool also.. I wonder if those things were that shiny even right after they came off the assembly line , I realise its just temporary surfacing though..
Im looking forward to seeing this piece finished!

It doesn't suck at all, I like the way you see the breaks through the wheels on such an old car .

By the way, where in Paris do you live?
