This one took a long time do make, but the hydrogen-powered flagship sedan of my fictitious car brand is done, and here it is.
[I got lazy on the interior, but it was my first interior, give me a break!]
I’ll get some more stills and maybe an animation in. I really want to do a cool animation, but it takes a long time to render on my big PC at max settings. It’s twice my “normal” polygon count, at almost 5,000,000 polygons total, including high-resolution bitmaps and textures.
Oh, and here’s something else: I’m working on refreshed designs for these two models that you guys love so much. Stay tuned for those!

I don’t care for this part, the rest is a lot more appealing than your other stuff (personally).

I know you consider it your design language, but I would consider straightening and smoothing these areas, as it tends to give the impression the car is being viewed through a funhouse mirror.

I’m scrapping that design and beginning a new. It’s kind of difficult to modify it once I’ve finished it.

Man, I wish I knew how to make shit like that on a computer. Cool!
My only feedback would be to either reduce the fluidity of the front/sides or to make some of the lines a little bit sharper, if that makes sense.
Just something to tone down the “melting” effect.

The “melting” you see is accentuated by the reflections.

What’s the purpose of the (from what I can tell) pipe in the grille?
Overall I like this one the most, particurally the split between the suicide doors.

That’s not a pipe, it’s just a little design detail.

So after the redesign of your first two, what’s the next car in the lineup?

Mmm... very good point. I see the lines more clearly now.
My revised advice would be to test a softer lighting / darker background next time you display them, just to see what the effect is.

I’m sorry to say this, but the appearance of this supposed automobile does not fit my tastes (it’s kind of ugly).
But, I really have to admire your hard work and perseverance to creating this. I can’t, so props to you for that!

You went to the Dali school of design...didn’t you?

Oh I’m not saying just that car, it seems to be in all of your designs either in the front or the back. It is the pinched/stretched look I dislike.

It’s been a long time since I’ve seriously used any 3d modeling software, last time was 5+ years ago with both Maya and 3d studio max. But a poly count of 5 million seems awfully high, even for a full blast, high detail rendering. I’m sure you could get away with less here?
But then again, cars were never my thing to model, I stuck to sci-fi tanks and space ships :P. Nice renders anyway!

To be fair, some of the polygons are in the interior.

You’re welcome! I wish cars looked like this with lower belt lines, hoods, and smaller a pillars. It makes seeing out of a car easier.

Well that was a consequence of not knowing subdivision modeling like I do now.

Ah, well you have already come a long way from your first designs. I’m no designer, but it might be a good idea to do a rough pencil sketch of how you want your design to look before modelling it, so that it doesn’t get to busy while you are building it.
