Remember this shown by Lokar Groups mainstream Jupiter brand at Geneva 2010

It's been caught undisguised on a midnight test

(excuse the lame post but thought i'd show a preview of my latest 3d attempt)

Hey man, really nice unique looking car, I like it

Hah, nice Nath, I've always wanted to try making some spy shots but it's a frankly daunting undertaking, what with trying to figure out the camo and everything. Plus I usually keep refining the design until the last minute.

Looking forward to the final Ariane, the original render was already pretty stunning so I can only imagine how good it'll look once you refine it a bit (going by your avatar, though, I think we've got a fairly decent idea

)

To be honest it's a learning curve on Alias.... i'm getting the hang of it and currently adding shutlines etc when I get a few moments.
But have huge cock ups on the surfacing i'm having to hide...
This car will be 10 times better render than the last but the next will be better again.
As for the Ariane itself it's changed a little, outgoing second gen is direct Pug 107/Ford Ka rival, this is more of a curvy and slightly scaled down Fiat Panda cross 4/5seat smart

I really like this. Very modern-looking. It works so far.

Second Alias model, managed to make a great many mistakes which I think is why the colour is a bit messed up in these renders.
Think now learnt enough to have a proper crack at a good model next.

Smart Forfor anybody?

Nice job Nath! You clearly spent alot of time on it, and it looks great, good stance and surfacing. The front still doesn't look completely finished though, and the wheels are rather basic - were they just a generic set you picked up?

Nath · #9 12-20-2010, 11:59 PM

Wheels were stock from a uni resource, think might spend a bit of time modelling things like wheels, lights etc.
To be honest kinda rushed it through after a while as it'll never be perfect with all my surfacing errors.
Unfortunately you can make mistakes and not realise until hours later... But the stance, DLO and surfacing does manage to represent the design

I don't know how I missed this.

I really, REALLY like it. Where is the engine?
