More Test Renders

Modified the model a bit ... according to topek's advice ... muncung tu kedepan skit. ... and a lighter background tu further appreciate the curves, reflections and textures.

Evo X Metallic Render Tests

Evo X (Render tests)

I found a tutorial on ambience occlusions in blender. Allows for photo realistic renders. In Max its called ... light tracer ... i think. As a result, nak render jd 10X kelembaban render bagi blender yg render mmg dah cukup lembab. Maybe sbb aku pakai laptop kot. Gambar pn gelap skit sbb in the natural world light bounces of other thing, then hit you. In this scene theres nothing but the car. Also the colors come out slightly differently.

Kalau render dgn surroundings nampak la skit die nye kilat2 ...
Render time : 30 min

Paint job

Looks alright I guess. Thinking of naming it sideswipe from an original character whose colors are red and grey. This is the best design I can come up with. I'm not really that creative in designing cars as you can see ... haha.
I took those from 2 circuit patterns.

Evo X (Complete UV texturing)

Siap pn ... with rims .. hehe. Rim tu cincai keje 5 min.Janji ada sudah. The UV mapping is complete. No more major modifications. As you can see there's a bump map applied to it. Gives it realism a bit, also gives it away mainly because I did't adjust it to the mesh really well. Ada line2 yg lari. Anyways .. now for that paint job ... lama lg kot siap ni ... xde idea lg.

Evo X (Modelling Complete)

Siap juga akhirnya ... bump map utk kereta tak siap lg. The textures for the lights and the grill ... lebih kurg da siap ... Who has any suggestions for a cool paint job or cool rim designs ... tell me bout it. Here are renders ...

Evo X (new Year)

As I lie on the beach,
Fireworks explode above me,
Signals the arrival of 2008.
As I continue to ponder,
I see Orion lying idle in the background,
Who's belt points to Ursula minor,
Indicating the way home.
...
Whatever ..
Happy New Year ..
I went out ... had a Kebab .. (birthday meal .. a healthy meal for a change.)
Made it home in time to continue my 3D model.
Done the lights and textures for the lights and grill ...
It didn't turn out as photo realistic as I hoped it would ... but if it were to be a transformer, I'm sure the lack of detail won't hurt.
Haven't done the bump maps yet.

Heres a photo of the transformed evo concept. Thinking of naming him Jazz .. reincarnated. Jazz shouldn't have died in the movie IMO. The drawing is still incomplete but you get the idea. The theme is curves with straight lines ... like jazz in the movie ... but a little different. No head and arms yet ... ran out of ideas ..

well ... Happy New Year.

Evo X (finishing the front)

Did the smaller stuff such as the logo, headlights, side mirrors. The headlights aren't quite finished yet. I also modified the front a bit so it looks like the real Evo instead of looking like a skyline. It has that modern touch.

Also changed the color a bit so that it won't look like plastic.

Evo X continued

What its supposed to look like ....
What it currently looks like .... Stripped down, no windows, doors, tyres, lights.

This is my first experience with blender really. Have to admit its great ... the tutorials online are really helpful compared to 3d s Max where you'd have to buy a book worth RM500 ...
Gotta love Open Source ...

Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X

I'm starved of projects at the moment. I've just formatted my PC, hence the game project has been lost. Anyways, I thought of doing 3D this time. Now my OS is ubuntu, I'm forced to use blender. Had to learn from scratch. May not be a bad thing.
The end result should at least resemble that. Once its finished, who knows. Might even do a Evo Transformer.

As for the modelling part, I think I can do the basics at least. The tutorials for blender are really handy. In 2 days I managed to build the front bonnet.


The lines are a bit crooked round the edges, still tweaking to achieve the perfect representation of the real thing. In my opinion, if you don't strive for perfection, you'll NEVER achieve it.
Evolution X Aeroback ??? ...
Blakang tak siap lg ... xde gamba ... so susah sikit.
Haven't got the material right yet. Not even sure how to get it done .. haha.. Also I modified it, besarkan ventilation and intake for the engine, makes it easier for me and also makes the car look more intimidating.

MAYA

Finally finished it. Color scheme pakai cadangan Yunus. Buat color Gundam skit. Sori Yun, biru + hijau tak kne la. Kuning pun aku buat kat lampu je. Kalau knuning Gundam tu ... tak ganas ... hehehe.

MAYA assignment

This is the X-901 Neutrino. Lum abis texture lagi. Inspired by the grumman F-14 Tomcat, and a vulture(cadangan yunus). Design main bedal je. Improvised as I went along, go with the flow.

XWAU continued ...

Takde pape ... just gambar2 je ... and close-up engine ... enjoy

X-WAU

Finally finished. Textured nicely pakai motif songket. Didn't take long. Just got involved in several other things which needed more attention. Yg banyak makan masa pon detail kat bahagian engine tu tp tak nampak sgt pon .... tp kalau close up cun gak la ... heheheh . Texturing pon main bedal je ngan cara paling simple. Tp result puas ati so takpe la ...

Prototype XW01

Patut artwork tarok kat page art aku lg satu ... tp ... malas lak.
Ni concept car terkini ... bermotifkan Wau. 3 tyres, 2 jet engines, 1 motive ... speed.

Model ni hasil bosan2. Enjin semua buat external, so nampak cam ada power sikit. Raw energy. Enjin pn tak siap lg sbenarnya. Kne detailkan lagi laaa ...

Lum tarok paint job pon lg ... esok2 la aku buat.
