Any more progress Dave?

Dave_3 · 02-20-2008, 05:51 PM

Nothing new. Busy with other projects. Haven't touched it since the weekend.

But trying to locate one of these in CH, so I don't have to keep popping out and looking at my own car :

Dave_3 · 02-28-2008, 04:04 PM

Got a little bit of time tonight ... and had a go at getting some definition into the rear bumper (tricky old shape). Lower section still to do.

Dave_3 · 03-25-2008, 08:08 AM

Sorry guys ... was busy with lots of other stuff.

One of which was putting my Genesis Dalek into a 1970s TV scene - here is 1970s style old faded photo of the set

I'll get back to the BMW when I have some spare time.

D.

vivekk · 03-25-2008, 02:46 PM

Nice work Dave.

Looking forward to seeing the final scene.

Viv

Dave_3 · 04-11-2008, 05:47 PM

Absolutely no work done on the actual model - but I was trying out some lighting techniques and needed a shape to bounce the light off.

So wheeled out some old BBS wheels I had lying around and propped the E92 on the top ...

D.

CrimsonRedE93 · 04-12-2008, 08:14 AM

Really impressive to see you gradually build something up Dave, the wheel detail is astonishing

booforty · 04-12-2008, 08:17 AM

Looks great Dave!

DervFan · 04-13-2008, 05:11 AM

Looking good so far

Can't wait to see more progress on the body...

Dave_3 · 07-08-2008, 07:07 PM

No update in modelling - but was playing around adding 3D objects to a photo. Using a custom made chrome ball HDRI and some CGI "jiggery-pokery". Popped the present model in as well. Everything lying on the tiles is 3D.

Not really impressed with the fuzzy focus on my 400D these days - had it on a tri-pod at F22 for this and it is piss-poor. I expected mush better. makes getting a nice super crisp back plate near impossible.

Must find some time to work on my virtual E92.

D.

booforty · 07-09-2008, 02:54 AM

Looks like one of Carl's toy cars!

Porscha! · 07-09-2008, 05:49 AM

Wow thats amazing! How do you do it? What computer programme is it done on?

booforty · 07-09-2008, 06:03 AM

Yo need to add some bonsai trees for effect...

Mentioned that earlier on in the thread

Studio 3ds Max.

Had a good few hours to have a crack at the front bumper. And a few other little tweaks to the bodywork. Coming along slowly.

Booforty : What is behind the front air and bonnet intakes - is it a honeycomb mesh ?

D.

uabimmer · 07-18-2008, 08:21 PM

wow, that very impressive

booforty · 07-19-2008, 04:17 AM

Looks awesome Dave!

Dave_3 · 07-19-2008, 06:42 AM
