Just noticed something ... missing the rear valance (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) haha, yeah. The item I dislike most about the 914. You couldn't pay me to put on on. Well, you could. it'd just be a lot. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Funny about the valance thing. I only like flared cars without the rear valance, narrow cars need them to my eyes for some reason I can't put my finger on. |

I can't count how many times I've redone the CAD for my flared 914 model. Each time getting a bit closer. Here's my latest version, fronts are looking pretty good here, rears still need some massaging but it's coming along.

haha, thanks guys.
Had a chance to work on the rear flares some more as well as a few other details. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/live.staticflickr.com-19709-1578516527.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/live.staticflickr.com-19709-1578516528.2.jpg) |

No doubt, the best 3D representation og the 914 ever! Devil is in the details (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif) .
Only thing not looking 100% realistic is the panel gaps especially around the pop up lights.. they are far to perfect (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) . |

Haha, the gaps around the lights was brought up before at one point, I even purposely misaligned the pop-up covers a little to make it more realistic. Maybe I need to misalign them a bit more.

More updates!
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/live.staticflickr.com-19709-1579572899.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/live.staticflickr.com-19709-1579572900.2.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/live.staticflickr.com-19709-1579572901.3.jpg) And yes, I don't think the Porsche letters are on the engine lids of the real life counterparts of these cars. It's just my absolute favorite design element of the 914 and I refuse* to show one without them. *unless it's for a client and they're giving me money, haha. |

Awesome as ever.
I'd lose a bunch of money betting that these were real photos. They're that realistic. Amazing.... |

haha, I don't do Ferrari often, here's my last. Hope you guys can pick up on the reference.
(IMG:http://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48822841646_fe742484f8_h.jpg) I reworked some of the materials on the engine model. Trying to get a worn finish on the case specifically, but also just some texture on other parts to increase realism. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/live.staticflickr.com-19709-1588034608.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/live.staticflickr.com-19709-1588034608.2.jpg) I think it looks pretty cool, but it looks like a scale model. (coincidentally, I bought a 3D printer and am going to print off a 1/4 scale engine) The crowd I run with in 3D rendering are phenomenal, making things that look 100% real, even to the trained professional eye. I'm still nowhere near that level yet, and part of me doesn't want to pursue it at all. |
