e3000

[oakey]

im a digital artist and i do alot of 3d modelling and animation. heres a car ive designed and modelled based on the e30. it has the same dimensions as an e30.
dya like?

quite good if you ask me

[march109]

I can see how much skill and effort went into that, but to be honest I don't like it.

Looks like a bm/merc/jap crap mongrel to me. But I appreciate the effort. I think I would like it more if you changed the headlights, and made the body wider (not such an hourglass figure anyway!)

Almost got a 2002 look to it, sort of, maybe Oh i dunno..

Looks a little like a skyline from the front...


Looks ok...a little unsure tbh

[ajm-e30]

looks like an e30 m3 on a steroid overdose-in a good way tho

[dobbie82]

A star for the effort skill and quality, but wouldnt drive it, looks like a z3 front on a shortened m3, do you have any e30 drawings?

[wiledw]

Looks like a E30 M3 mated with a short body Audi Quattro rally car.

[oakey]

ok, thanks
what about this 1?

i have loads of e30 drawings. there all on paper tho

[shazE30]

really like the second car is it a le mans???

what program/software do you use im studying automotive design and was thinking of re-designing a e30 for a

project but then think why fuck up something so perfect

[march109]

looks like one of the old single seater jags, or the car from wacky races that peter perfect drives I think. but I like it better than the last one!

[gurps_singh1]

To be honest i think thats pretty good but i think alot of ppl would of prefered it if you kept it as a normal E30 M3.

Have to say that must of took alot of time and effort mate.

Second pic looks pretty good too

[Cloggy Saint]

I like the first one, it's how an M 2002 might have looked

[oakey]

the point of the first car was to make a modern looking car while using all of the characteristics of an old one. i wasnt trying to improve the look just modernise it. just modelling a exact m3 would have been dull
the program i use is called cinema 4d
the second car took half as much time to make as the first one!

hmm i like it! Can you do full 3d images ie. that can be imported into a computer game? I did some work with game programming and if you can get a compatible 3d map we may be able to put one of your cars into a game? (I was thinking vDrift)

[aceraf]

2nd one looks

[Onz]

looks like a renault actually :p

[kabeer]

nice work OAKEY.. looks like E30 M3 given a stroid boost !!!

[oakey]

Thanks guys. I want do do more stuff like this, I just dont have the time.

I think this was one of my first posts on here

That is what I do. Right now I am making a entire 3d landscape with setting sun. (its pissin me owf!) Soooo time consuming. I think I'm going to go into illustration instead

[d6dph]

The first one looks like something they would make on Chop shop

LOL! Hmmmm! You have a point there! Maybe a bit of investigation into Oakeys real ID?

[Onz]

Can u do an acual E30 m3 to mate? I know its a pain but if you get one done I would love to try and import it into an online racer or even GTR2!!!! Full credits would go to you of course

Mate, I would love to- far too busy at the moment though. Maybe next year. lol

Well lets keep it in mind, I wish my 3dsMax skills were good enough. I am a much better programmer than designer.

[jondrift]

hey there oakey, im also an automotive designer. The programme looks a bit like alias...the surfaces on the first one arnt finished too well, maybe you should try maxwell or rhino, as it gives a smoother finish and more realistic. Here is an example of an audi i designed in maxwell (excluding the windows-havent built them yet!:

[oakey]

Those 3d models are very badly made. Its not the program They were done by me about 3 years ago when I had only just started with 3d modelling.

I like the audi

[Onz]

nice audi's is that a dream design or a pre production

[jondrift]

oh, fair enough! Would be cool to see them re done now your more advanced!? thanks, they audi is just for a university project where we had to design an audi with incorporated brand image of apple.(im still only a 3rd year student)

[Onz]

car looks amazing mate, I miss the stuff we did at uni. I studied Computer Aided Manufacturing in Hertfordshire. Most of our modelling was for CNC and component assembly

[oakey]

I havent done any cars for ages. I love to spend all my time modelling cars!

Heres a quick shot of a character I made a while ago:

[SHAKEELE30]

I studied, well didnt actually study it but one of the modules i had to do at uni was 3d modelling and animation using maya, ill put up my pic of my e30 later on when i can find it, if you want.... But my one is just a standard e30, didnt think of modifying it much as i was just trying to design one for my animation, but never got around to finishing it. Depending on what software, some are really difficult to use and really time consuming. Nice pics there oakey, keep it up!!

Hows the car coming along, done anything new to it?

[jondrift]

ive been inspired to do an e30 in alias now! Ill post it up next week some time

[oakey]

Hows the car coming along, done anything new to it?

A couple of things. Its now got megasquirt fitted ready for the throttle bodies and camshaft and I just fitted a full black leather interior - piccies coming soon in my "pimp my tech1" thread. Interior is pretty neat now. Just needs a damn good clean.

The program I use for the 3d modelling is Maxon- Cinema 4d. Very easy to use
