Recent art test...

culturedbum

Hey guys here is an art test I did recently... I thought I would share it with you guys

The rusty version I did for shits and giggles, I only had to do the clean version.(it also exists in gray I'll nab a pic later)









Anyways thanks for looking, all feedback is appreciated.

Looks good to me. How many tri's those cables in the front cost?

culturedbum

They are about 30 tri each, they are simple 3 sided cylinders.

Very nice ! Not certain if you are looking for crits here, but some of the forms seem a little soft. Seems like you could use a few chamfers on a few edges to tighten up the shapes, like around the front bumper and the trim along the sides. Or maybe achieve the same results with edge hardness/smoothing groups.

culturedbum

Yeah I see what you're saying.

I had a very short time to finish this piece(only 3 and half days from scratch) so a few things here and there went unaddressed , I'll mess with those things just a little further.

Thanks.

That's very nice work for 3 days of effort. What did they offer you in terms of reference and restrictions?

It's hard to tell, but it looks like you could use a few of the vertical loops on the seats, and probably the loop that divides the tires down the middle without losing much of the shape.

why mention art test in the title if you dont explain what it was about and perhaps where ?

culturedbum

very good point renderhjs,

The art test was for a company in Utah called EatSleepPlay. Can't really say much more than that because of an NDA.

I had to go google that since it sounded so familiar. David Jaffe's new little studio huh?

Are these just screen grabs? I think it might be look better with better lighting and render.

Great work from a fellow phoenician. did you get the job?

culturedbum

Whats up KP,

I hear good things about you man, we should get together sometime and exchange stories. I'm a good friend of Ron's.

-yeah the pictures are just screen grabs. I will set up a render stage for them some time.

Cody

-Thanks for the comments man, unfortunately I did not get the job so I'm still on the hunt.:)

I am shocked you didnt get the job, looks awesome!

killingpeople

Oh, I love stories. I wish the Phoenix IGDA Chapter was more active like it used to be, it was a good excuse to talk about video games and drink beer. I blame Flashbang! Get an intern fags, Jesus!

Love the car, it's great to see more examples like this without the usual immaculate paint job.

The cable can prolly use a few more bends though it's for an art test.

Mate this looks great! It's a beautiful car and I think your model and textures do it justice. And I believe you would have got the job if only you had given them the rusty version, it is fantastic! :P

culturedbum

Here is that render I promised.

Good try on the art test , sorry ya didn't get it.
One thing to note on this is that if it's destined to get a reflection/cubemap on it, you'll need to watch the geometry lines. The way the polys flow affects how the reflection is displayed. Best thing to do is a to get a viewport reflection shader and see how things look.
