Chulmin Wee Sep 22, 2009

Roshan Hakkim Aug 30, 2009

insane piece of work!
Robert Liddell Aug 30, 2009

I've been looking at your model for about a half hour and still can't believe its not real. You did an awesome job. You even picked my favorite year camaro.
Boson, Ruo-Xiang Huang Aug 29, 2009

amazing!!
John Baker Aug 05, 2009

You probably couldn't get anymore realistic than this!
yu pan Jul 29, 2009

Jeff Smith Jul 16, 2009

Hot man!
Hugh Thomas Jul 09, 2009

Incredible!
Sebastiano Ercoli Jul 09, 2009

superb detail, worth of appreciating it at 100%!
David Cathro Jul 09, 2009

Yeh, vray can be pretty useful. An exterior scene like this rendered in just over an hour, couple of lights, GI, comp with backround, bish bash bosh! almost.. :-)
David Cathro Jul 09, 2009

Thanks Mike, i appreciate it! A side view of the interior will be next...should have something posted in the next few days
Mike Turner Jul 09, 2009

Vray rocks. . . . MAN that's convincing!
Mike Turner Jul 09, 2009

- I don't think this colourscheme would work too well in the jungle . . . you'd need to hide in a . . . erm . . . a blueberry-field, maybe?. . . . ;-)
Mike Turner Jul 09, 2009

Super-duper-monster-cool work, David. I'm not sure what's more impressive . . the modelling complexity and detailling, or the overall quality of the rendered output... I guess the two go hand-in hand? GREAT STUFF!
Mario Giordano Jul 09, 2009

great!
J. David Weiss Jul 09, 2009

Woa again- highly highly impressive.
J. David Weiss Jul 09, 2009

Jonathan Osborne IDSA Jul 07, 2009

nice
David Cathro Jul 07, 2009

err no.. just made up :-), my next character was to be more realistic, ie not a perfect looking model type, it's funny how when you make a character you gravitate towards something that is perferct looking, an old granny or something should be next
Mike Turner Jul 06, 2009

Based on someone you know?!
Mike Turner Jul 06, 2009

David, your work is more perfect that I could achieve - so please take my comments as a pure "perfectionist" view: in real terms you're already WAY beyond what I could do!!!
Michael Gillett Jul 04, 2009

Thats mental doing this without blueprints! Very skilled. Beautiful modelling.
Rajeev Nair Jul 04, 2009

thats really cool man... :) gr8 job.. :)
Matt Dean Jul 04, 2009

wowwwww amazing
David Cathro Jul 04, 2009

Thanks everyone for your comments. The composition is helped by having the bush in front of the truck, it makes it more believable i think.
David Cathro Jul 04, 2009

Mike, thanks for your comments, you're spot on, the tyres should be squashed somewhat, i did the truck a couple of years ago, sometimes you concentrate on all the other details and forget one or two... i always squash my tyres now :-)
Fernando Galdino Pedron Jul 03, 2009

Mike, they are super military tyres, they are made out of concrete! Great job David, the work with shadows and lights is too good to be real!
Mike Turner Jul 03, 2009

This is so perfect it hurts . . the only possible clue left that it's not 100% real are the tyres: I suspect in real life the weight of the vehicle would mean they "squish" a little . . but HEY - we're now spliting hairs for sure! STUNNING work, David - I've not yet seen better!
edmund keefe Jul 03, 2009

Your work is some of the best I've ever seen. Cool subject matter too.
edmund keefe Jul 03, 2009

Wow, this had me fooled at first sight. Amazing work.

Yury Sysoev Jul 01, 2009

Super rendering!
David Cathro Jul 01, 2009

The lighting in the photo that i used for the front view was also different from the other one, the sun has disappeared behind clouds and therefore the shadows are very soft and diffuse, so i had to change the file lighting to match.
David Cathro Jul 01, 2009

Thanks for your comments everyone. Only the front Engine is CG. Not too much time was spent doing post processing. Some people prefer to render everything in layers, Diffuse, Refelctions etc then composite them later, i like to get it right in one go in the render. Post processing involved tweaking in photoshop so that the train looked part of the photograph, ie making sure the edges of the train were not too sharp etc against the backround. Lighting is key, making sure it matches the photo.
Michael Gillett Jul 01, 2009

Thats possibly the most realistic 3D computer generated model ive ever seen. Stunning.
Gustavo Petinati Jun 28, 2009

All your 3D are fantastic! Bravo!

Dan Dunbar Mar 28, 2009

Awesome- I still have my first bike- a 1988 NS125R, is this the NSR250? Gonna have to try and model it now!!! Nice glow through garage door too!
David Cathro Mar 24, 2009

Unfortunately i don't have any tutorials. I always just start with a polygon box, moving the vertices to the rough shape of the car, then keep cutting more detail and moving the vertices. These cars were tricky as i had no blueprints, i only had photos which takes a lot longer to then get the shape accurate
Bruno Oro Mar 24, 2009

i really love old cars......do you have any tutorial of 3d modeling of them?
David Cathro Mar 23, 2009

Thanks guys for your kind comments, it has just taken me a lot of practice, practice, practice.... it seems there is always something to learn.
David Cathro Mar 23, 2009

It's interesting making old style cars as they have a lot of character. Thanks

David Cathro Mar 22, 2009

Hi Carl, thanks for your comments. It's definately a 3D model :-) i've just uploaded some wireframe renders and a normal map render which shows its makeup
