3dMax10 fun :)
« on: July 26, 2009, 01:51:50 PM »
Hiya;

refreshing my skills in 3dMax, what better way than building a concept of what I would like to see in a new Corvette :)

Parameters I wanted were: 100" wheelbase, big enough tires to hook it, retro styling cues, ..and ..Vette DNA thru and thru.

3 days into my test mule:







Yassir .. them tires in the back are 14" wide by 32" tall.. it's all about contact patch, and you could bolt on some huge slicks to handle anything you wanted to do up front for Horsepower :)

I had to have my deep-dish, 5-spoke 'old school' look, fits with the side coves very well :)

WOW!

Very nice 3D model. The details & materials are looking good.

IMHO the 'cockpit' is too large, which is making to the nose looking stubby for big engine.

Good job  :aok

(edit)
Almost forget to ask, how many vertix & faces is has?

My only peeve about owning a car like this is that there are no pop-up headlights, like in the 1970s. Those just looked wonderful in any of those cars. Maybe we could bring back the past?

thanks .. 15k triangles atm..  motor would fit just fine ..the vette tranny is in the back these days.

Need big doors to get *into* the car, unlike the 80's C-4 (which I cant even get in due to pillars being too close)

still gotta lot to do in interior, no seats in it yet altho dash and floor are in

pop up headlights just arent in yet .. no panel lines yet ..no panels :) .. the lights you see are turn signal and fog lites :)
