Looks pretty good so far...

looks interesting...

looks pretty cool..the ass is kinda big but oh well...

how did you come across that?

I like this one better. The 3DS model costs $250

dam thats talent i tried to go into 3D graphics!!! Blah i was able to make a ball and jack in the box w/o the jack

Nothing wrong with a little "junk in the trunk" :)

by frequenting the French rx8 board... silly... :rolleyes: :)

I definitely have to get up with the times and learn how to do that stuff,
nice going voodooman :)

I'm certain this was posted before but I can't find it, 3D tutorial using an RX-8 model...

Well, I'm going to be taking a 3D Max course next month, but for now I'm going to work on rendering an RX8 in Lightscape. I still have a lot of work to do on the textures and I have to think of a back drop to place it in. I'll post pics throuout the project.

its the J-LO performance package, to increase rear downforce.

That looks really good thus far, I would like to see how you progress...

I just have to find the time. Here are two renders I did 3 years ago when I first started using Lightscape...I'm much better now.

Here is a preliminary test shot...still lots of things to fix

I am planning on just buying it, I don't have time to model it. Rendering architecture is just one of the things I do for a living. THis is the best one I have found.

I've seen that one before. There is also another site that was selling a very hight detail model for about $250. The difference betweeen the two is that the Turbosuid version relies heavily on texture maps where as the model from the other site is a high polygon model....If I can find it, I'll post the web page.

what do u use to make the 3d model? just a lot of pictures of the 8? and are these pics imaged based? thanks for answering in advance!

Rotten, that's some cool stuff man. I really like your furniture models too. Great job to have, congrats...

This guy does some cool renders, just look under the portfolio section. Someone should get him to do an 8 race car.

I do all my renders using autocad as a base. I then render them in Lightscape....I'm upgrading the 3D studio next month. I mostly do furniture renders so cars are a bit of a challenge.

There are so many excellent CG artists out there. I could fill pages of links to some of these guys.

I know, I have seen plenty, but he made a corona gsx-r so I like him :D

Here are some examples of some of the best car rendering I've come across. If I hadn't seen the wire frame mockup shots I would swear that they were real.

The french forum pic is weird looking. Kinda like they started drawing and forgot some details.
