I just can't get over how fantastic this is ... I would say almost better than a photo can show . I love that it is always clean and no lighting issues / reflections and other elements in photos.
Could I commission / pay for a custom rendering ?

great rendering, the run over /smashed soda plastic container really adds some realism to the picture.

"And I know it's not 914 related, but I dropped my LWB early 911 model into a new environment I created. backdrop is of course a photo, but the ground and textures are all done in the rendering software."

Nice. My '66 912 will eventually pose in that stance with wide steelies, just will be Bahama Yellow, if I can afford a new paint job (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Thanks guys!

Mire stuff added to the engine model, namely throttle linkage.

Been awhile! I have certainly been busy, some really fun client work and a bunch of non-914 stuff, so I haven't posted here in awhile. Thought today should be the day to inject some life into this thread.

To answer a few questions I missed:

- I don't generally do client work anymore. I was doing that a lot way back but it got to be too stressful and it turned this hobby of mine into a part time job that didn't pay very well. So I've pared it down to just a few select clients that I have an ongoing relationship with.

-If you're interested in learning and are just beginning, I'd suggest downloading Blender, it's a 3D model/render program, free to use and learn. There are many tutorials online, lots on YouTube alone. It's not actually what I use but for a beginner it's probably the cheapest and easiest way to get your foot in the door. You'll want to build up your computer for the work though.

Progress on my real 914: The 6 build has stalled out while I inject money and time into my 3D model and render stuff. Software is expensive. Otherwise, it's running and driving just fine with the 1911 on Webers.

Now for the meat and potatoes of the post.

From the 1971 Monte Carlo rally, here's the #7 9146/GT

I am aware there are some differences (i.e. wheel finish/color) I just like these layouts more. This isn't meant to be a historical archive submission.

Looks great.

Getting a new 3D printer in the next few weeks, I need to model up some P-car parts to test out when I get it.

Hey all, haven't posted in awhile and I apologize. I've been uber busy with work, 2nd-work, baby, life, and the 914 has been in storage for the winter so out of sight/out of mind.

A few updates, not a lot of new 914 stuff rolling through but I've been meaning to revisit the narrow body model and maybe create some 4-lug Fuchs for it. In the meantime, feast your eyes. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I think my talents have been gradually getting better. The opportunity with 000 Magazine has been so so so much fun and it's made me grow a lot. I'm hoping you guys are subscribers so you can experience these builds as they happen.

The engine model made a little progress, I've got the tins nearly done for the 911 configuration. Mounts next.
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/c2.staticflickr.com-19709-1550712526.1.jpg)

My favorite model to work with currently, a nicely detailed Singer 911
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/c2.staticflickr.com-19709-1550712526.2.jpg)

And I've made a new Minilite model with a Pirelli P7 Corsa
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/c2.staticflickr.com-19709-1550712526.3.jpg)

There are probably hundreds more that I've done, but I don't want to bombard you guys too much with non-914 things. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) Cheers!

Hey guys, finally some more 914 stuff worth sharing.

I made a new Fuchs model.

(IMG:http://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48334845192_ed2aaf8c6c_b.jpg)

So I put them on a narrow body 914

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/live.staticflickr.com-19709-1563909087.1.jpg)

The color is called Yellow Ochre, not a factory color.

Speechless, awesome work ! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)
How long would it take to get to this level of work from just starting to learn 3D modelling?

It all depends on your ability to pick up new software and which software or modeling style you're doing. For a truly gifted individual it could be a matter of months, for someone else it could be years and years. It also depends on your learning style, some people can watch a tutorial for something and pick up all the key points, or someone like me just has to mess around with the software to slowly uncover new capabilities.

There are some shortcuts so start making some decent looking stuff. A program called Blender is a good first step for someone who has no background. It's free, pretty capable, and there are a lot of tutorials online. Bonus is that there are models available that you can purchase to give you something to play around with that doesn't require you to model an entire car for your first experience. I don't use bender, but I've seen beginners have good luck with it.

Thx for the feed back Glen, may be there is hope. I played with SilidWorks a bit and modelled a brake rotor and some other simple stuff. I tried building a tube airframe but was not successful and kind of gave up. I even thought of taking a night class at a local tech college but can't justify the cost since this is just a hobby thing. May be I'll try the software you mentioned.

yeah, Solidworks is an engineering type software (as is my main software, Creo) which definitely has advantages in some areas, but big disadvantages in others if you're not actually building models that are to be used in engineering or production. They call these "nurbs" models.

Blender is a polygon model program, the process is quicker in many ways if you're just looking to make cool things and create pictures of them.
