Bl4ck_Eagl3 Posted June 5, 2004 Share Posted June 5, 2004 I converted a Skyline from NFSU but i need a tutorial on how to create a car paint material. And if someone knows how to increase my poly's to give a more smooth appearence. All my bodyparts are already editable so i can't change the number of polys from the Attributes Manager. Hope i make sense Thx to anyone who's willing to give me some tips or a tutorial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbr Posted June 5, 2004 Share Posted June 5, 2004 I've never used this, so be warned I have no idea what it will look like (or if it works), but you are welcome to try it. I know the Final Render materials have a nice Car Paint, but I've yet to buy them. http://www.mbrstudios.com/wip/carmaterial.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbr Posted June 5, 2004 Share Posted June 5, 2004 Damn, too early!! Didn't even notice it was in the C4D section, scratch that offer, then, it won't work :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted June 5, 2004 Share Posted June 5, 2004 Make sure the car is in a null and then drop it into a Hyper Nurbs - presto more polys. The Hyper Nurbs sub divisions are adjustable in the attributes. I have a slick auto paint material I was working on a few weeks ago. Still in the early stages, but I'll post it a little later when I'm on the work station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bl4ck_Eagl3 Posted June 6, 2004 Author Share Posted June 6, 2004 THX guyz:D. this is my final render with the Skyline, although i know there are mistakes im done with it. Ill start on an S2000 now, trying to make it as high poly as i can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace_Face Posted June 6, 2004 Share Posted June 6, 2004 I converted a Skyline from NFSU but i need a tutorial on how to create a car paint material. For auto paint you need to use the Bhodi NUT shaders. Attached is a grouping of car paints that I have used. I continually modify them to fit the scene. The Danel shader has 3 levels of specularity which gives you the depth you see in car paints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bl4ck_Eagl3 Posted June 7, 2004 Author Share Posted June 7, 2004 Thx a lot man. Us all have been of great help. "Make sure the car is in a null and then drop it into a Hyper Nurbs - presto more polys. The Hyper Nurbs sub divisions are adjustable in the attributes." Frosty i have tried that but it seems like the parts are not connected together. It creates strange holes in the body. When i swich to points view there are two points where it supposed to be one, that creates the hole in the body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bl4ck_Eagl3 Posted June 7, 2004 Author Share Posted June 7, 2004 Oh nevermind...i fixed it. Ill post a link to my render when my new conversion of 350Z is done Thx again to all that helped me:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bl4ck_Eagl3 Posted June 7, 2004 Author Share Posted June 7, 2004 Finally finished It has hips of errors:(, On my next conversion i'll try not to make that many mistakes. Here's the link to the finished 350Z http://blackeagl3.deviantart.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ill post a link to my render when my new conversion of 350Z is done Thx again to all that helped me:) 350Z Nice choice! I just bought a 2004 350Z Roadster for myself. I must say the 287 hp and over 300 lbs. of tork are nice. I'll have to start putting the Z in all my exteriors. Here's the color scheme I got. I'll have to develop the paint and interior textures.

Frosty Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 My first car was a 280ZX. I drooled over 300s all throught the 90's. And I've been dreaming about a 350 for over a year. I almost get into an accident every time one drives by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace_Face Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 sheez m8, you must be charging allot higher fees than i am!!! They're not that expensive. I am impressed with how Nissan has put so much into the car and kept the price down. Two Honda Civics or one 350Z I chose the Z. This is my ILOB car. (In Lieu Of Baby). Thanks for the material links. I still like the Bhodi Nut Danel shader best because of the multi specular option. I use car paints for my architectural scenes, so I never get really close up to them and the Danel shader looks great in sunlight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STRAT Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 They're not that expensive. This is my ILOB car. (In Lieu Of Baby). well i beg to differ on that price issue. i can bearly afford to keep my crappy 10 year old VW Golf, let alone the insurance cost. ILOB - hehehe, fair enough dude, cant argue against that. 1000 times cheaper than a baby too. perhaps i should speak to my gf about this idea too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace_Face Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 well i beg to differ on that price issue. i can bearly afford to keep my crappy 10 year old VW Golf, let alone the insurance cost. I've been driving a crappy sentra for the last 6 years and I had some expensive repairs ahead, so I decided to um upgrade a bit. I've been drooling over this car for 2 years now and my wife had a moment of weakness. So I pounced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bl4ck_Eagl3 Posted June 14, 2004 Author Share Posted June 14, 2004 Thx to everyone that helped me with my car paint. Danel Shader works good car paint with a bit of tweaking. also learned that a HDRI map makes the difference. Thx again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
