FTO AUSTRALIA

thanks guys... ill keep the updates coming as the model progresses along...

cheers
volts

hey Robb, looks like your crayons and my Photoshop 'skills' just don't cut it no more LoL...

that is one piece of awesome work! *both thumbs up*

ps: is it just me or one of the support legs are missing from the GT wing?

It's the new design!

GT-wing standing on one leg!

Yes I agree....that is great!

yeah you're right, but have fixed that up now.... should be standing on two legs now....

Hey Astro, I've used both Max and Lightwave, and I found I could complete things in Lightwave! Pretty sure they have a demo to download.
Lightwave has a rather unusual interface, but once you get use to it is sweet as.
At www.lwg3d.org is a tutorial to create a car from scratch (mustang). I used that to teach me how to model. It was so popular that they made it into a CD tutorial and sell it for around $30US (but you can still view it online.. it has something like 500 pics...). Check it out if you can.

Just had some thought and the only thing I'd probably change (for me any way) would be the wing. I'd prefer something in the look of the Ford V8 supercars:




That wing + bonnet and the rest of the kit would put me over the moon.

looks sweet.... ill add that to my spare parts library

scored some Advan TC11's overnight..... keeping the 'c-west' look...

id like to see that at autosalon.. .. i mean the designs on page two. lol

jono

why are those centre of the rims so 'bruised' looking?

i know they are sposed to be silver with hollow spokes but they look pretty 'bruised' to me.

btw what size are they and are they light?

thinkg of getting a set of 17x7.5 +31 in white!

Hehehe these are super light weight, cause they are for model cars & not the real thing ehehhee hmmmm Which reminds me i need to finish my FTO model too.

yeah its the environment i've got on max.... haven't got a nice one.... like what they say "chrome only looks good as the environment it's reflecting" or something like that.... i've got a crappy jpeg i used....

ahhh...now i c...close inspection of that pic shows they are not real wheels!

SORRY for not repling sooner to everyone that has asked me questions but I have been unable to access the site for over a week (be careful when changing your theme in your profile) but all is ok now...

FTO12345 no I haven't downloaded 3D-max cos I dont think my system would cope with it and I'm too lazy to download a 75MB file using my pissy dial-up connection, sorry... has anyone else tried?

Yes Mikey he has put my crayon and your photochop skills to shame but I have a plan to get him back...Muhahahaha oops I got carried away again...

Kev I haven't sent Adriano's designs to NewGel yet as I couldn't access our site to download the pics to send but now I can pull my finger out and send them...

BTW I downloaded a version of Rhino3D (Rhino3d.com) only problem is it only allows you to save 25 times but the program continues to work after that but you cant save anything you create... man this modeling and rendering sh*t is hard... I made the torch in the tutorial but I dont want a torch I want an FTO with the most 'Fully sic bro' body kit...

Anyway I will try to see if I can make any FTO with this program and it should look better then my 'Robb Drawings' maybe

Cheers,

LOL.... have to warn u though Robb, it is addictive
just remember to enjoy what you're modeling....

i'll be overseas for 3 weeks from thursday so i wont be able to work on this project til i get back...

Hey Adriano,

do u think u can blend this front bumper into your concept?



Hope you can smooth out the sides with your flared out front fenders.

Also at the rear end, I think the rear bumper need to be widened as well rite?

Hope to c them butt real soon too!

Cheers!
SaM

thats one good drawing wildfaye very clean bumper....
the rear bumper would just blend in with the flared rear wheel arch i suppose..
will try and come up with something like that but wont be until i get back from my holiday...
and thanks for all the ideas guys...

One neat bumper I should say but its not draw by me.

Found it on the Project F Japan website a long time ago.

Facinated by it since then...

dude, while you're at reckon you could also model one with a Ferrari 360 front bar?

is that the one you photoshopped a while back mikey? the red convertible one?

there were a few GT concept bodykit sketches for the fto too, might try and conceptualise that also....

yerrr u know which i'm talking about...

i got some pics of photoshopped GT concept FTOs in my PC as well, but none of them will look as l33t as your CAD work so mehhh, i'll keep 'em to my own fantasies instead LoL...
