Let's say it's a hobby of mine...

The model isn't complete yet but one of these days I'll finish this thing. I also have quarter of a 2006 Forester done...

Oh yeah, those would be STi rims.

Very cool.

[subba]

Wow great job man!

Lightwave?

I did that in Zmodeler 1.07. Eventual plan is to throw it into a Need For Speed game or Xpand Rally so I can drive around in a rally stage.

how hard is it to use this program?

[Plays_with_Toys]

you should make a GTR file and turn it into an NGT touring car :wink:

[_RM_]

The program isn't hard to use...after a couple months of fiddling with it and getting things right.


NGT touring car? :-?

NGT is the under 450hp class.

[deadlydave]

wow, that's cool. You got skills, sir!

[w_lred]

do you have an SLA file for this? I'd love to run it through my uni's rapid prototyping machine to make a real 3D model of it. Would look damn nice as a collectible.

[_RM_]

Unfortunately, I don't. However, I am able to export it to a .3ds file but I'm not sure how well the exportation will go considering the primitiveness of the program I am using.

I haven't finished the model yet either and considering my workload with my major, I probably won't finish it completely until next year (and that's if I work at my current pace). I'll keep you guys posted on any updates though. I'm also planning a BE version after I finish enough of the BH.

[Mr. Sociable]

I'm also planning a BE version after I finish enough of the BH.

I can provide you with any pictures you need for this when it happens.

Just got done with the front bumper on this thing (I think it's the 03/04 bumper...used a couple of Rougeben's pics as a reference)

Looks really good!

[2.5GT]

so do you make these cars from scatch? or off a pic? it looks really good :eek:

[_RM_]

I use some blueprints laid out in the background for the general shape. I would normally have my AutoArt GT-B model in front of me but I didn't want to bring that to a dorm room. I also go off the BH in my garage at home. I usually use more than 40 reference pics when I start a serious project like this one.

I do all my cars polygon by polygon which is why it takes so long.

This is the Fozzie that I started but never finished...was gonna make a Sports 2.5X version, a 2.5XT version and an STi...but parents didn't end up buying it last year...so I'll probably have to wait on that because I barely have anything to go off.

dang...that does look time consuming :lol:

[deadlydave]

great work, I can't wait to see the finished results.

Started the sedan last night.

Sorry for the large pic. Lost the link to the thumbnail >.<

Both cars are currently untextured. Any colors you see are just simple materials.

[tominator]

wow! that is some nice work. lets see more.

[_RM_]

Since the sedan currently needs to be fixed majorly, I've decided to put some time into making snowflakes:

Can anyone get me some high res photos of the USDM sedan rear bumper? TIA.

[ConnertheCat]

Damn, I suddenly wish my sedan was blue like that right now! ;)

Nice modeling job, looks pretty sweet.

[BE-Fresh]

That is mad chill man, props to you!
