Rework of old project - XJR9 Jaguar

PacificCrab

Rework of old project, ive reworked the front, top, and engine cover. planning to fix the front rims aswell, reworked because of bad proportion on previous iteration.

If you have the time pls visit the following sketchfab link

advice, criticism in any form would be appreciated.

p.s assuming lighting and materials could be improve is it portofolio worthy?

If the project is finished it will be portfolio worthy for sure, it's a cool car! As it is now, it's really hard to tell because you're missing a lot of parts. Chassis are not there, the entire rear with the engine is missing, it's basically just outer panels for now. You don't need to build full internals for cars but there should be no gaps and glaring empty spaces and obvious missing parts (like the exhaust and engine at the back).

Some of the proportions are still off. I always recommend to collect a lot of reference pictures. Most obvious one is the front, the headlight form is off and the curve is wrong.

A lot of smaller things are off as well, but I'd focus on fixing the big and important forms first, like the front.

In terms of modeling, it's hard to tell without seeing the unsmoothed/isoline wireframe. What could be improved for sure is the weird density mismatch you have on some of the parts.

Good work so far, I think it has the potential to be a really nice project if you push it furhter.

Nice sub divided base mesh and mostly the dimensions do seem accurate enough, (of course accounting for camera skewed focal length) I'm also curious if you're planning to continue with your project forward too completion for an eventual portfolio entry?

Comparable, as an example to this finalized Jaguar group C racer, authored by another artist: - https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/jaguar-xjr-9-wwwvecarzcom-b71ee24c729d46a6b1c0a9be242e30a2

Edit:

Ah....looks like I've been beaten to the punch by @kosh3d - damn my glacial typing

@sacboi Yea im planning to continue till the end, but its probably gonna be a while. As for portofolio entry it depends entirely whether i can make it look good or not. Nice king tiger btw

@kosh3d Thanks for the advice, ill try to fix the mentioned problems

PacificCrab

Some updates on material and improved some mesh problems, any advice is apreciated

PacificCrab

as always any advice and critics are appreciated
