Painted Coupe









Here are a few pics with paint shaders applied to the coupe, and a very basic lighting and HDR setup. I just wanted to get a idea of what she would look like. Hope you enjoy.

I would also like to give a big thanks to all of you at Digital Tutors that have offered helpful advice.

I added two more pics, that show the interior. Though the lighting rig wasn't set up to render the inner car , you can still see it and get a idea of how it will look..

new coupe


I had to redesign the 1940 coupe. Just wasn't happy with the other one.
This one has half the poly count , she is all quads and has much cleaner sweeps/curves.
I am much happier with this design.

40 Ford Coupe



I am just getting started on the working model of a 1940 Ford Coupe. I am finding it challenging as most of my modeling experience has been with static models. And for this project I want the car to function realistically, doors open , hood and trunk as well as a believable interior for high resolution close ups.

Challenging but very interesting and fun.

1940Ford Coupe


I blocked out the basic shape of the 1940 Coupe and added it to the seen to get a better idea of scale and placement for animation scenes when I am finished with the modeling and texturing.

Hope you enjoy the project.

building b and c



I found an hour tonight to work on my project. So I bridged building b and c together and added a little resolution. Cut in some windows and frames in building c , the building behind the barbershop.

GangsterVille




I am just getting started so there are only a few pics at the moment.
I have about 8 hours invested in GangsterVille so far.

I intend to model a small part of New York City from the 1940's.
A barbershop , 2 apartment buildings, and a speak easy.

4 to 6 stylized human characters
3 automobiles from the 40's
Then to complete the project, I hope to create a short animation..

A 1940 Ford coupe rounds the corner, and parks across the street. A rather large well dressed man exits the car and heads for the barbershop. Frank the barber is busy cutting the local Dons hair like he does every Monday at 10am. The door opens and hot lead fills the room.
