I got my car portfolio-acceptable. The power of shaders in Max, guys













maps:





Most shots are here, image heavy page though.

Xol, awesome shaders and awesome modelling. I can't believe you went to the extend of the brake discs and calilpers. Phenomenal attention to detail.

The only thing that's been bugging me going through your images however are the shadows. The shadows undercarriage are doubling up, and the render needs some Anti-Aliasing.

Other than that though, I knew it would be awesome by your WIP's. Great job

[Xoliul]

Thanks dude! Lost quite some sleep trying to get this done before a company would look at my portfolio today
And yeah, the shadows, you'll have to forgive them for being so rough: it's a really rudimentary system that i'm pushing beyond its limits actually. The new version of Max should have some big improvements there, I hope.
Anti-aliasing I still want to fix though, but that means going back to 2008 (AA is disabled by Autodesk in 2009) and thus having to redo all the scene and material settings.

[Kaburan]

AA disabled in 2009?? Are you frikken kidding me???

[Talon]

Very nice, dude

Wouldn't look out of place parked up in GTA4.

The underside is a bit clean, though. I think you could throw some dust and dirt into the spec map to let it look a bit mucky.

Man, that's really awesome! Congratulations!

pretty damn cool

Nice simple paint job too. hot.
What shader are you using? doylle's?

[Rawz]

Always a pleasure staring at stuff like this. Amazing detail in a low poly model (is that right? this'd run in a next gen game?)

Love the setting and the underside.

[doylle]

Wait a minute, where do the orange race stripes come from? they're not in the diffuse?

Nice work though, can't wait to see it with the guns mounted...

He's using a modified version (mine doesn't have cubemaps and such), but I think there's more of xoliul's code in there than code of myself tbh...

[Ammarkk]

It's very excelent ...
