Porsche 962 WIP

[Frap]

I needed a project to keep me busy over the christmas period, as I have never made a car before I decided on the Porsche 962.

Ive only done the first basic pass on the diffuse so far but I am back to the day job tommorow and could do with a break.

I want to make the car look like its just completed a 24 hour race covered in dirt, dead insects, oil stains and may be some race tape holding something in position.

comments and crit welcome.

Looking good so far. It's a pretty early wip texture wise I see, so not much to crit on that. What are the specifications of this model like texture sizes, polygons etc?

[Frap]

The model is just over 10k poly`s but I may go back in and add a little to the interior as that is really basic at the moment and could do with a little more as for the texture it is 2048x2048.

for a 2048*2048 it is rather blurry. Maybe it is the screenshot itself, else try to sharpen the texture with unsharp modifier in PS. It is indeed a early WIP like joukejan said, but I would do something with the tires. The white isn't so beautiful i think... maybe it is personal taste, but you can go way more crazy .
Also watch out with white textures, make sure it is not to bright.

I think the blur is more down to the render but I will certainly try and sharpen it to see if I get some improvement, As for the white yeah I need to knock it down a bit something I had realised after posting this up, thanks for reinforcing what I was thinking. Agreed the tyres need some work as doesmost of the texture, any suggestions ?

Ok Ive played with the colours a little turned the white down quite a bit. Also as I see far too many clean car models I thought it would be fun to make it look like its done a 24 Hour race, just the interior to detail a little more and add the specular and normal maps.

Nice! Looking much better now. I'd like to see some shine on that glass, though

[Frap]

Its on its way, the first attempt at a specular was crap and I need to rethink my approach.

Mind posting a wire?
