Maxwell Render | Official public forum

It has been over a year since I worked on my fiat, sometimes you lose interest.. but I recently found it again
still a lot of detailing to do and still no bottom but nice enough to post some renders, here is the first:

I hope you like it.

still a great project

it has been a little quiet around you.
but now you're back for good

Thanks man I'm back ROAAARRRRRRRRR

I'm glad you decided to start it again. Wasn't it orange before?

Thanks Brian! yes indeed it used to be orange but I like this "soft"blue so much better

First image updated

I remember this and nice to see it being resumed. Did you ever use MakeHuman http://www.makehuman.org/blog/index.php to sort out a humanoid base for a driver for your Fiat? If not, the newer version works much better and has collada file export.

Thanks! and great link!

Here is another (png)

cool color... your first render was sort of this color...

You remember? woow, indeed!
btw, it's not supposed to be metallic, just plain paint

Nice - do you think the tyres need a touch of bulge?

Thanks! yes I did try, but till now I didn't get the required result, it looked really bad... but I'll fix that

NicoR44: I use Cinemas' bulge deformer for tyres and have found better results come when the tyre has enough poly's to deform smoothly. I suppose a more accurate way would be to use soft body dynamics on the tyres and press them down onto a ground object but I don't find that level of obsession necessary!

Good one! I saw that Blender also has such a feature, doesn't it?

And a clay render
