The latest update of my ERA. I've done some more work on the lighting and texturing but am going to have to leave there for a while. I hope to do some more renders and perhaps a background next time I get a break between projects.

Quite an oldie... but I still like it. My Ferrari Dino model is what got me started modelling cars. I have had so much interest in this model, both from admirers of the real thing and people wanting to buy the mesh. It has even been used on a light entertainment quiz show here in the UK, so I just had to include it.]]> Mon, 16 Aug 2004 12:07:56 +0000 http://m-clk.cgsociety.org/gallery/621613

I've added these other views to my gallery as I am still receiving a lot of interest in my Dino, along with the occasional sale of the model, even after all these years!]]> Wed, 16 Apr 2008 09:53:33 +0000 http://m-clk.cgsociety.org/gallery/621614

After a couple of years building 75-100k polygon cars for Xbox 360 racing games, it came as a shock when a client asked me to build some 5000 poly vehicles. This Dodge Challenger is a test car that I made to re-familiarise myself with low poly work. The car with interior and wheels weighs in at 5200 triangles.]]> Sun, 10 Feb 2008 09:10:53 +0000 http://m-clk.cgsociety.org/gallery/617324

A render to test normal maps made in CrazyBump, from existing, hand drawn bump maps. I modelled the van a while ago but hadn't used it for anything. The textures and render where all done on a Sunday afternoon.]]> Sat, 05 Apr 2008 09:29:42 +0000 http://m-clk.cgsociety.org/gallery/620714

.

This is a more recent render of my Porsche. I read a 3D World magazine tutorial on studio lighting for cars, which gave me a few ideas for things to try. Although the image is far from perfect, I still think it is progress in the right direction and worth including in my portfolio (for now). Comments and crits always welcome.]]> Sat, 23 Sep 2006 18:12:45 +0000 http://m-clk.cgsociety.org/gallery/415696

The final Porsche render for a while (don't want people thinking I've got a problem). I decided it would be more beneficial for me to practice rendering existing, completed models instead of spending my time creating new ones that never get finished ]]> Tue, 10 Oct 2006 17:44:57 +0000 http://m-clk.cgsociety.org/gallery/409646

Another really old piece but I've included it because of the background. The car has just under 10k triangles and was inspired by the PGR2 console game of a few years a go. The background is my variation on a painting by Alan Fearnley - the brilliant motorsport artist.]]> Mon, 25 Sep 2006 22:35:37 +0000 http://m-clk.cgsociety.org/gallery/408173

Rear view of the Porsche 911, which was modelled, textured and rendered using Modo 201. Quite a short personal project (2.5 weeks), but very rewarding in terms of learning how the new Modo renderer works.]]> Fri, 22 Sep 2006 00:08:04 +0000 http://m-clk.cgsociety.org/gallery/408167

What started off as a personal project after a long spell modelling cars for the XBox 360 game PGR3, became an exercise in learning to texture and render in Modo 201. The Porsche was originally intended to be a next-gen game detail level model, but as soon as I started to render it, I couldn't resist hitting the subdivide key!]]> Thu, 21 Sep 2006 23:59:24 +0000 http://m-clk.cgsociety.org/gallery/623077

This a very old project, found whilst unarchiving some other work. It is a model of the Ponds Forge International Sports Centre in Sheffield, where I live.
.
It started life as a joint college project by myself and fellow student, Stefan Trofan back in 1995! We modelled the building from the original architects drawings in 3D Studio V4, but never properly finished it as the rendering times were too long.
.
The model still holds up pretty well, considering its age. I spent a couple of days adding some final touches, retexturing and rendering it in Modo. ]]> Sun, 20 Apr 2008 16:33:14 +0000 http://m-clk.cgsociety.org/gallery/592764

I promised myself that I wouldn't build any more cars for a while but had to get this one out of my system first. It's a 1934 English Racing Automobiles (ERA) R1A, modelled and rendered in Modo 301 over the course of about 2 weeks.


Textures and shiny renders to follow, time permitting.]]> Wed, 06 Feb 2008 21:57:47 +0000 http://m-clk.cgsociety.org/gallery/413680

All 3 cars were modelled inside 3 weeks, working only in the evenings. Due to the tight deadline some common parts (tyres for example) were shared between vehicles. Once approved by the client the finished models were laser etched into crystal - hence the lack of textures.]]> Thu, 05 Oct 2006 21:52:56 +0000
