Lamborghini Gallardo lp560

I am doing a 3d model of lamborghini gallardo lp560….
I always wanted to model this car cause I like the style, the curves and how it reacts to light (reflections etc)
so this is my 1st WIP post here….and this is the 1st time I try to make a hi-res car modeling, so I pretend to do all the details exactly the same way the look I the real car (lets see if i can)!!!…

1st thing I did …
I found over 76 references of the car on the web and 1 video cause some times when you see something in the image, it may look strange cause of the angle ,lens ect… but in the video you can see way much better (at least in some cases I DO)

2nd I found the blue prints and I did arrange them on my 3d software..

Now I’ve been modeling for 3 days I think but I will have to stop a bit cause I have some works to do but I will get back to it , cause I did many models that I stopped on the middle and I decided that this one I have to finish…

here are some stills from where I started until where I am ….

tell me what you guys think…..suggestions are welcome!!!:)

steadychan import from cinema 4d

Hey all,

In the past I’ve used the steadychan plugin in C4D to export my camera animation to nuke. But since Nuke 6.1v3 it stopped importing the file in the correct way. The cam is placed at 0,0,0 and there’s no animation imported…

Anybody know what’s going on?

Grtz,
HW

Making grass better with dynamics

Hey guys,
I created a plane to which I attached the fur grass preset and I wanted to make it look a if wind is blowing through it. So I created a hair system to attach to the fur system. The dynamics work, if I increase frequency, amplitude, etc.. however it seems that the dynamics do not effect all of the grass, in fact some small chunks of it and particularly at the sides of the frame, none hardly in middle of frame. It seems as if perhaps there are not enough curves or something. If so how do you increase the number of curves for the hair system. IF that is not the problem then what setting am I missing in dynamics section here is the link if you want to see the screen shots of viewport as well as the dynamics settings for the hairsystemshape.

By the way the animation is 300 frames and do not move once in those areas indicated by circles.
