[WIP] Ford GT

gbpackers

Been working on a Ford GT for a day or two now. Was hoping for another fairly simple, straight forward build after the Audi R8 but I was definitely wrong.

The build will eventually be another tutorial on my YouTube channel.

Probably haven't built a car this tricky since the Keonigsegg One:1. Working on subdividing the front end.

body looks good but the wheels are a bit too large. maybe its just me...

Anyone else start a model and slowly regret that you ever started it? Never had to work so hard in between tutorial episodes to get things right. 

Got the body all smooth now and fairly happy with it. Onto the wheels next.

@teodar23 They are pretty big, don't think they will look so silly when the final wheels are in, maybe the placeholders make it look a little silly.

Nice job so far! Definitely looks tricky to get all those shapes right.

Finally complete! Tutorial on building this car will be on my YouTube channel (drft3D) soon, though I do not recommend anyone to build this car, truly sucked ass.

Looks very clean! One thing I noticed is a continuity change on the wheel arches. It doesn't quite follow the roundness on the panel gaps 

It happens in a couple other places where panels connect and there is some roundness just in between, but the wheel arches are the most obvious.

@lluc21 Thanks! Just threw it into a quick scene with basic lights and materials as I couldn't really see the issue in the Viewport. I think those problems may have been mostly a lighting/material problem. Plus maybe the angle of the car in relation to the Camera. One thing I really need to start getting better with are my renders.

Still got a list of things to tidy up, when I do the Tutorial videos, they're limited to around 30 minutes so I end up rushing quite a few of the details.

Great job, the topology is so clean, I am rubbing my knees, haha! 

Looking forward to the videos, keep it up
