Looking Good! It's like a modern day Chariot...... Nicorticurt Sparticurtus

Do you find that Silo will crash when you get in a tight/weird sort of angle with your geometry? I'll sometimes start pulling subdivided geometry in a direction Silo doesn't like, and my whole system will freeze up.... Curious as to any hiccups you may have had?

Hey Rusteberg, thanks man!! hehehe indeed it's just like an modern Chariot, Curt Douglas, lol!!

As you say indeed sometimes it can be a bit tricky, as you say sometimes it just freezes, and I have to kill it, but I save a lot so I'm fine. btw, when it does freeze my system is still ok.
I do think that there is a memory leak somewhere because when I'm modeling for an hour or so it takes a lot of memory, and then I just restart and it's fine again.

Of course modeling wise I'm a lot further, but I just couldn't resist posting this one again but a bit bigger hehehe.

cool render !....

Looking at the tire closer, it seems that the treads are too filletted on the edges. I think they need sharper edges.

Bubbaloo,
i'm thinking that this is a front wheel drive, and i imagine that those tires have had a little "experience." If they are ment to be brand-new then they should have those new tire nubs.

Well, not necessarily the nubs, but around where the tread meets the sidewall. Look on the ref pic you posted, lots of sharp edges.

now Bubbaloo,
their is nothing evil about burning rubber!!! Its just good clean fun.


P.S.

Good Wins!

Interesting..... i have noticed the memory leak as well. But i have been impressed with how it handles relatively complex geometry considering how light weight the application is......

i had not thought of that....... Nice one!

Same here!! it really is very fast when it comes to subdividing.

Hey guys thanks!! and I have changed that tire a bit

still a LOT to do but started to model the back


and the changed tire

Great progress Curt !

But I'd like a car that looks like this

[yanada]

Thomas me too

Nico you modeling skills are on a different level, most impressive:shock:

Imagine if you put your hands on Imagine & Shape from Dassault
