3D DeLorean Model

[Karin]

I found this video while scouting through some DeLorean videos. I have to say it is a very good attempt at a 3D model. I have to admit, better than my attempt with my model before my files got corrupted. It starts at the tires and its steel frame, gradually building up to a fully made car, part by part.

Not bad. They went much further with their model than I was planning. I need to get back to my model now that I work weird hours. I've got to see if I can sneak 3DMax onto my work pc.

But they build it in the whole wrong order!

[Karin]

Yeah, with the way the car was built part by part, it makes me wonder that I should've done the same while building up my model. Except I was concentrating on what's on the outside, which is not bad but not good either if someone wants it for a game or commercial.

lol, how was it built the wrong way?

The dash would have come before the center console and the doors were the first body panel installed, not the last

Is this the one you made?

No, it's not. I wish I did but even this attempt is better than what mine would've been. I haven't gone back to modeling another DeLorean after I lost that file to a blackout in a long time. I was starting the get the jist of how to build a car from 3D Max when that happened. That was a huge disappointment, seeing as I poured hours into it while trying to figure out what was the best way to build the car. I eventually started to do part by part like this did but I was only doing the outside.

Here's one of the images of what my model looked like. I was able to go farther than this before the blackout, up to the front fascia.

its too bad the file was lost, Karin--what you have there looks good!

[Kenny_Z]

That's a nice model Karin. Too bad you lost it. I know how you feel, I lost my Nova model when my hard drive up and died. I only had a really old backup to startover from.

I wonder how the doors and the louver are opening without struts.

[dvonk]

super duper torsion bars!
