(CG) 69 Camaro

[tomsullivan]

hi all

i have been modeling Scott Gulbranson 69 camaro for about a week now, thanks to the great pics he posted, but there is one bit that is not, the rear of the sub frame, and how it goes around the diff, it is not really important but i was tring to make the car as close to his as postible, if there r no pics its not a big deal i have pics of other 69 camaro's rear sub frame which i can base it on

just if u were wondering wat it was looking like atm i will post some renders for you

thanks for looks and i hope u like it so far

btw also like i said i was tring to make it farly acurate to wat hi real car is so if u can point out any bit thats r wrong please do

[XcYZ]

Wow! That's awesome! I can't wait to see more. :thumbsup:

There's no rear subframe, the leaf springs locate directly to the body. I don't really have any pictures of that.

[Steve1968LS2]

You are rendering the WHOLE CAR? every part?? :faint:

Damn, that is way cool..

[tomsullivan]

thanks for the replys, i didnt really do much work on it today i just re-did the springs and shock.

@ XcYZ, thanks first of all, and just a question on the leaf springs, do u know of any car on this site that has them and may have pics of them. thanks

@Steve1969LS1, iam not goin to model all of it, just most of it, like everything that u would see if u where to take a really hard look at a car. iam not goin to do the pistion or cam etc but i will build he block, water pump, etc

[XcYZ]

Tom, shoot me an e-mail... [email protected] and I'll gladly help you out; get you details pictures, etc. :thumbsup:

[rwhite692]

Scott make sure you send him some photos of you also, so he can render a "Scott" to place behind the wheel...:thumbsup:

[tomsullivan]

sorry about not post in a while but my comp died last week and only got it back up and going the last couple of days, didnt lose any data tho

anuway pics, basicaly the subframe is nearly done and i will be moving onto the engine in the next days

Thats pretty wild...

[XcYZ]

Tom made some more progress. :hail:

[rwhite692]

Wow, that is impressive work. What is the purpose of doing this, is it just to have a 3D rendering, or to generate the mold tooling, etc. in order to make a scale diecast toy, or some such?

[tomsullivan]

thanks

as for the purpose of doin this i really just wanted somethign to challange me in 3d modeling, buts kinda grown in scale and ppl are taking interest in it

i also have big planes for the engine if i can get everythign organised with pictures and stuff, also if anyone knows of good sites with good pics of the kinda products in Scott engine it would help a lot :)

thanks
Tom

[XcYZ]

Tom is looking for hi res pictures of cranks, rods and pistons, etc. I don't have any of them on my computer... Hey Jody... :unibrow:

[jski67]

Hey Tom,

That stuff looks great. I'm a post editor that has grown into 3D animation over the last 5 years or so. I mostly do a lot of logo or straight motion graphic work, but I did just finish a ton of virtual set stuff for the Florida Lottery.

Anyway, modeling is where I'm the weakest. Are you box/spline modeling or something more advanced??? Self taught or did you get some schooling? I'm jeleous of your detail :thumbsup:

I use 3ds max by the way...

Jason

[tomsullivan]

hi Jason, good to see some interest from a user of max

i would say about 90% of the modeling done so far is box-modeling, the rest was done with splines, if i remember right the springs, and the faceplate for the wheel, also the top seal for the gearbox was done with it, i use it a lot when u have a squarish object and then u have semi circles on the side of them, because the other way of doin it is boolean and that a terible tool.

i self taught myself for the first year or so and then found this great site http://www.3d-palace.com/ there are some free tuts there but the best one u ahve to buy i have brought 2 of them (the matrix apu one and the firefly one) and if u cna complete them u will have the skill to do anythign really.

btw i also did some more work

http://img476.imageshack.us/img476/6113/69camarointercooler019lb.th.jpg (http://img476.imageshack.us/my.php?image=69camarointercooler019lb.jpg)

bascily done the intercooler and the radiator

and thanks for the comment jason :)

hope u like them

[jski67]

Thanks for the reply Tom!

3D palace looks like a cool site, I'll check out those tutorials. I go to http://forums.cgsociety.org/ for a lot of info...in reality, I know there's a ton of good tutorials on the net. It's just committing myself to sitting down and learning :)

So I need to get better at modeling...but I also want to learn Mental Ray...and I just got an upgrade to Combustion for compositing...and I need to start figuring out some High Def stuff for a future project...ugg the list just goes on and on...

Jason

[tomsullivan]

yeah teh list always grows mine is manly improving my 2d skill( i have none atm)

just did a render with everything together, and as u can see i start on the engine

http://img492.imageshack.us/img492/8606/allthogether1qs.th.jpg (http://img492.imageshack.us/my.php?image=allthogether1qs.jpg)

[tomsullivan]

hi all

i thought i would just show u wats been happening the past coupld of weeks

Scott has been updating the page reguraly but i thought i should post them here for u.

http://www.lateral-g.org/rendition/3Dmodel/Crank_01.jpg

http://www.lateral-g.org/rendition/3Dmodel/assy1a.jpg

iam sure that everyone of you could find many mechanial probs with the crank and pistons but to the untrained eye i can get away with it :)

[XcYZ]

Color really makes it pop:

http://www.lateral-g.org/rendition/3Dmodel/Jan_26_colorframe.jpg

[Huxsol81]

Yes it does, very slick! :hail:

[907rs]

That's cool! I think Tom needs to start rendering project cars.

[tomsullivan]

thanks its really starting to take shape :)

i think its about time i moved onto the body, but i kinda need some pics, i had a look through all the camaros in the member secton and didnt find much that i could use atm. altho i found great pics of the underside and bits of the interior

so basically iam looking for pics of the front end atm, pics of the front fenders, the bonnet (and underside), front bumpers, grills, lights, those little fog light etc etc

iam kinda hoping that people who are building a camaro or owns one can help me out here, i just want to put as much detail as i can into it


thanks
Tom

[CAMAROBOY69]

Dang that is awesome!!!! I bet Scott is soo excited that your making his entire car. He must be honored!!
The most amazing part is that you are doing that just by looking at pics. You dont even have the measurements. Thats amazing!
HOw much did that software cost you?

[tomsullivan]

thanks

and the cost for me was $500 i got a student one but the proper ones cost a lot
http://estore.autodesk.com/dr/v2/ec_dynamic.main?sp=1&pn=1&sid=19515
3dsmax 8 is the one i use.

thanks agian

[XcYZ]

Here's the latest update to Tom's work. The intercooler is bit large (easy fix), but the whole thing is just amazing. :bow: He's been working a little with the body, and with his attention to detail, it's just incredible.

All of the 3D models here (http://www.lateral-g.org/rendition/3Dmodel/)

[Diognes56]

Sweet :D .

David

[Kris Horton]

Tom, the work on this model is looking great! What is your career background? Any experience at a real job or has it all been freelance/hobby so far? Where are you based out of?

Very cool so far, I'm eager to see the body of the car. I wish I had the time to sit down and model all those little pieces, it's a lot of fun and like you said, a real challenge.

Keep up the good work!

[XcYZ]

Tom tells me there's 7.5 millions polygons in this image:

http://www.lateral-g.org/rendition/3Dmodel/Feb_assy1.jpg

[race-rodz]

maybe i could get this guy to do a rendering for me, since that horton guy never responds to emails or im's :unibrow:

EDIT: just messing with mr kris, i wasnt actually lookin for anybody else to do a rendering for me. :thumbsup:

[Musclerodz]

Holy CRAP!!!! Awesome work. That has to be labor intensive.

Mike

[Kris Horton]

maybe i could get this guy to do a rendering for me, since that horton guy never responds to emails or im's :unibrow:

Hey jackass! :D You've got mail. I've been out of town and just got my new computer set up this weekend. It's going to make my life a lot easier. No more crashing trying to render monster-sized images for posters!

Scott, that's pretty cool. That's a lot of polygons. I'd like to see a wireframe shot of that. :cool:

You out there Tom?

Kris

[907rs]

Amazing detail, Tom. :thumbsup:

[tomsullivan]

thanks for the comments everyone :)

@ Kris, the last render i had to set it up using vray proxis, becuase my computer crashed evertime i tried rendering it. so the the wire frame for that shot will not really show a proper wireframe, but in have got a couple of wire shots form earlier

http://img414.imageshack.us/img414/3993/wire011ay.th.jpg (http://img414.imageshack.us/my.php?image=wire011ay.jpg)

http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/9103/wire035ld.th.jpg (http://img140.imageshack.us/my.php?image=wire035ld.jpg)

as for the poly count, it doesnt really need to be that high but with those rims, i have a mesh smoother modifer on them set to about 3 or 4, that kicks the poly count up a lot

thanks Tom

[Kris Horton]

Looks really good Tom. My software has a similar means of mesh smoothing. It displays really clean and low-poly looking and the subdivisions are only temporary until the surface is finalized. Pretty cool. I took a shot at modeling the Currie rear end too. I don't get to do stuff like this too often, but I set aside 2 hours tonight to model something a little different. It looks decent so far, but I just eyeballed it from Scott's pics like you're doing but I can't say I'm ambitious enough to model all the things you're modeling (no time to devote to it right now... :() I've included screencaps of my model in the various display modes.

P.S. Are you looking for work as a poly-modeler? I know a few places that are hiring right now here in the States.

Kris

[tomsullivan]

thanks Kris, is that rhino? or is it a specialised 3d program? looks great tho :)

btw u got a pm thanks :)

[XcYZ]

More eye candy. Tom is doing a fantastic job. :thumbsup:

http://www.lateral-g.org/rendition/3Dmodel/chassis_on_road.jpg

[Speedster]

That is just awesome stuff.
Pretty soon you will have Scott's car going down the road in "Toy Story 3 - Woody gets a PT Camaro" :lol:

[XcYZ]

How about a clay model?

http://www.lateral-g.org/rendition/3Dmodel/3DassyDark.jpg

[tomsullivan]

thanks Scott for keeping this thread up to date, i almost forgot about it

at the monent iam doing another render simlar to that one but hopfull u will be able to see the details a lot better, if it goes well i will do a couple of better ones tonight, seeing as there are a couple of missing things (like the brakes) and i also have to fix the black mark on the fuel tank, i dont know how it got there tho :S

as for the engine we almost have a n/a engine :) most of the engine is there, all the details around the front is done such as the water pump, alt, and power steering pump. now i just gotto work on the intake and exhaust

but everything is starting to fall into place :)

thanks for comments

well now that we are starting to get the camaro looking like a camaro, i will try and keep this page updated

so, i am tring to get the engine bay done first before moving onto teh interior and rear of the car, still loads to do but well at least it starting to look like Scott's camaro :)

hope you enjoy the renders
thanks
Tom

[Hdesign]

Talk about tedious work, that's amazing! And I thought my renderings took a long time. That's gonna be awesome when it's done!

[Sales@Dutchboys]

Man thats amazing! I wish i could do that stuff! :thumbsup: great work!

[tomsullivan]

thanks for the comments :)

just been working on the engine bay not much done but still evey bit counts.

Tom

[Sales@Dutchboys]

Im impressed! your very talented! :thumbsup: Keep up the good work.

[ottatyme]

The sheer amount of detail involved in this project is mind-boggling... Absolutely gorgeous! I think that your talent is only matched by your dedication and patience... It's been mentioned before, but to think that you've kept the proportions and scale so tight without measurements is just incredible, and a testament to your ability both with the software, and vision to take on such a killer amount of work. :wow:
Just amazing.... keep up the great work!

[XcYZ]

The REALLY cool stuff hasn't been made public yet. :unibrow:

Tom is going to be doing this stuff for hire so if anyone else is interested in having renderings done, just let me know. :thumbsup:

[ottatyme]

... and you say the "cool stuff isn'y public yet"? :eek:
It'd be neat to see the entire model broken down, and published almost like a "Gray's Anatomy of a Pro-Touring Car"... What a great book that would be!

[tomsullivan]

Thanks for the comments :)

We have a couple of things lined up for the model already, like ways to showcase the car and the detail in the model, but if any one has ideas on how we could showcase it, it would be great :)

I did a new render you can see where I have started to make way to the interior along the door.

http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/2799/update017hd.th.jpg (http://img96.imageshack.us/my.php?image=update017hd.jpg)

I also started work on the turbo’s but I have limited pictures of them, so if anyone can help out with some pictures of turbo’s, it would be great :)

Anyway thanks again for the comments
Tom

[tomsullivan]

just been playing around with teh materials and render.

i like the renders but iam not sure how "life like" they are, but i will be building a secne for the car to go in so it should get some better relfections, and hopfully it will contrast the car nicely.

thanks
Tom

Edit-- been playing around with the red material, gave it a yellowish fall off, not sure if i like it better yet

http://img142.imageshack.us/img142/7645/update035vq.th.png (http://img142.imageshack.us/my.php?image=update035vq.png)

Thats some fine work :thumbsup:

-Paul

[Kris Horton]

Looking great, very nice work Tom!

[rsk68]

Tom

Very nice model you have made there, I would be interested in getting a high res STL file of your work and making a RP model in our shop, I have 7 stereo lithography machines a powdered metal machine and 2 wax printers
this would be way cool, whrer are you located?

RSK68
Rick Klein

[Kris Horton]

Rick,

From my experience, I'm pretty sure Tom won't be able to give you an STL file. STL files are usually made using spline-based models and the model Tom is building is polygonal. Of course, I can't speak 100% for Tom, but I'm pretty sure he'll agree.

I've run into this problem with my models too. I am confident that it's only a matter of time until polygonal models can be turned into machineable files.

Tom's work is definitely on the level with some nice CAD work. :thumbsup:

[tomsullivan]

hi, thanks for the comments

i have managed to convert a max file to stl using Deep Exploration (http://www.righthemisphere.com/products/dexp/), but reading what Kris has written i am not sure if it will even work, i have never tried it myself.

but if you want i could quickly make something and convert it over to an stl files, so it can be tested.

anwyay thanks
Tom

[Kendall Burleson]

That is great work Tom :hail: :hail:

[rsk68]

Tom

If you can output an STL I'll check its integrety for you, make a small file of the transmision or something, if it works I can post pictures of the solid 3d model, this is cool stuff, you can send the file to me at work

havent done much this time, just been working around the braking system.

been re-working from about the door backs

thanks
Tom

[GvEman]

Looks awesome! Do you make your cars out of pictures or blueprints as he did with the Audi A3?
Keep it coming!

[tomsullivan]

when blueprints are avaible i will use them, but you will learn you will never get a blueprint which lines up 100%, so i manly use them for the major things like, lenght, width, hight and the windows, door the major things

[Kris Horton]

Amen to that...most of the time after I get the basic proportions and details laid out I go back and go over the car and eyeball the rest.

Kris

[tomsullivan]

yeah, thats what i have been doing the past couple of day, i have totaly re-done the from the door back, and that was becuse of crappy prints.

here a render, still some things to fix but well its getting there :)

still need more work, like adding welds to parts, and more wiring, but the piping is done (i bet you i ahve missed some but hey :) )

and thanks for the comments

@ HarLequiN, thanks, do you make highish poly old cars for gta?

anyway thanks agian to scott for post those other picture
Tom

[HarLequiN]

My reputation runs along, daym... Yes, that HarLequiN is me. And now you know why I'm so envious!
You use Max, right? I'm just learning it at the moment and it needs alot of time to get into so I guess I'll stay with the gamecars for now.
Btw. do you model all those details just by looking at photos or do you have blueprints or even the real stuff as reference?

[tomsullivan]

thanks, and you should not be envious, i have seen your work its really good!

yep, i use max, have been for about 3 yrs now, if you have and question/problems i would be glad to help you, just ask :)

and i would say 99% of this model is done from pictures, i really only ruffed out the out line of the car from blueprints, and the rest was done with picture, altho i do like to work with number where i can.

another new render :)
http://img454.imageshack.us/img454/5661/update013am.th.jpg (http://img454.imageshack.us/my.php?image=update013am.jpg)

thanks
Tom

[GvEman]

Looks sweet as always! Just incredible. Are you going to make al the conection points for fenders and so on? Or do you make the shell?

[itlbtu]

I'm new to the board. I work with AutoCAD, and Solid Works. Are these files scaleable, or importable? I've wanted to draw my '69 Camaro and play around with different suspension ideas for a long time. Unfortunately I'm so far away from any kind of artistic talent. :hail: I can draw mechanical things all day long though... I someone would be willing to email me a file I would love to try and import it to Solid Works. Thanks,
:D

[Musclerodz]

I haven't viewed this thread in quite a while and DAMN!!! You must have an insane amount of hours invested in this. Truely incredible amount of detail. :bow:

If you haven't said yet, "How much time has this taken so far?"

Thanks

Al

[Kris Horton]

Tom's first post about it was in December of '05, so he's going on almost a year. His first posting on here was in December of '05, but I saw him working on it over on SMCars before that I believe.

[tomsullivan]

umm yeah a bit late but yeah, like Kris said since Dec last yr.

[customcam]

Thats awsome TS gotta love it :hail:
hey im getting those pics soon also thanks man

[deuce_454]

looks awesome... you could consider having the headers fabricated, now that the geometry is established i am betting you could sell a quite a few on this site alone.. but with regards to the headers... i hate to say this, but where are the wastegates??

[tomsullivan]

yes this is a never ending project, and with my time being eating away lately i have not had the time to work on this like i use to.

and since Scott changed to the LS engine, i decied that i would just finish up the SBC engine before moveing onto the LS more.

i think basicly the SBC is done, minus some cables like the fuel lines, trottle cable, i think its all there.

[tomsullivan]

and the body, i dont know what i am going to do with it, since i dont ahve the time to spend the time need to finish it, i think it has to go on the back burner for a while.

sorry for the large render, but you can zoom in on all the details like the welds on the headers.

anyway i thougth i might just post here, mabye some ppl might be able to pick up some minor mechnical foults.
thanks
Tom

[Flying Scotsman]

Every time i see this I'm blown away with the detail!!!
Awesome job ! :hail:

[Hdesign]

incredible work! :wow:

[SteveMcqueenRules]

I can barely do corel crap in 2D this stuff just blows my mind. Amazing.

[boling]

If you have a web cam and a digital projector, you cab create mesh surfaces in 3d. www.reversemodeling.com The software is FlexSxan 3d. The Lite version is free.

It works. Same technology used to digitize designers' clay models for production molds.

[tomsullivan]

thanks for the comments.

boling, sounds really interesting, but even if i did have a projector and webcam i dont really have access to a Camaro nor the other parts of the car.

i jsut realalised i havent posted any render of the LS 7

[tomsullivan]

thanks agian
Tom

BTW if anyone is making engines, and can take photo during the build, it would be great, i am always hunting my way around the net tring to find ref pictures engines, i could always use more reference pictures, you never know when they might become handy

[XcYZ]

Absolutely stunning, Tom! :hail: :hail:

VERY NICE Tom!! Love all the detail!! :thumbsup:
