Hey folks!

It has been quiet on the blog for some time now and the reason is I have been focusing on this project for the past 4+ months.
This is one of my dream car racers. A classic mini cooper with a rear mounted engine!

Enough of words, let’s watch some pictures.

[Broduski]

I say goddamn. That is awesome.

[Rockmonky]

wow, simply amazing

[InternetMeme]

I have to admit, every single picture looks 100% real until the last one. Something about the side mirror that screams CGI. Aside from that... I'm blown away

[enzo1187]

Contacting Polyphony.......

[zombie06]

Agreed. That is amazing. I would not have guessed CGI if you didn't say anything.

Knowing that they are CGI, in addition to that rear mirror in the last, there two other nits:



The lower left of the above image where the window frame and concrete meet; the edge is too perfect.



The water in the above (again mostly in the lower left) looks too "algorithmic" and flat. There isn't enough texture to the asphalt surface.

I can't even believe I am bothering to point these things out though because the level of detail is impeccable.

Still regret not bringing a Mini back from the UK.

ridiculous amount of skill

[0dd_j0b]

Those interior pics are incredible!

[vivalahatch]

Those are amazing, but why is the direction of the tread pattern opposite on the port and starboard side?

copy - paste

to the person that did them

[phryxis]

Nope, that's real. I don't care what you say. It's real.

[71sbeetle]

Because Nascar !

[mellbergVWfan]

I'm disappointed.


Because it's not real.

[r_fostoria]

So, how long until I can just live in the Matrix?

[leaftye]

That looks great. Too bad my renders look straight out of the early 90's.

[Elbows]

Man I can't wait for PC games in say...7-8 years. The games they have now are getting closer to this by the day...

[MrRoboto]

Sweet. I can't even imagine how he built this from the ground up, it's way beyond my comprehension...

[A.Wilder]

I thought you were bsing, they look too real.

[Son]

The font used for the John Player Special decals on the sides is not the correct JPS one.

[A.Wilder]

o,rly?



Like any livery there are a number of variations, and it's an homage to the JPS scheme anyways, not a replica.

Looks exactly the same as in the pic I posted...

[Boogety Boogety]

Absolutely amazing work. The pictures are stunning, they look real, and would fool 99.99% of the people on the planet.

Now, on to using this talent for more important issues than cars, and confusing some of that 99.99% a bit more:







And let's not forget the truly superstitious:

[peruski]

Impressive work!

4 months?... that would be a dream. I get deadlines like 4 days. Two weeks is an eternity for me...

[Dr. Woo]

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

****ing magic, this.

[VertigoGTI]

A lot of this looks VERY impressive! However, I still can't get over the cloud reflections in the sky. Looks like there's a mismatch with the background and the HDRI reflections.

[ThreadBomber]

I guess I shouldn't tell him that the right front tire is mounted backwards.

Edit: Both right side tires.

[Lwize]

Meh. The seats have no padding.
Thanks but no thanks.

(runs and hides)

[danny_16v]

wow that's amazing!!

It would be so great to see this level of detail in video games one of these days.

[JimmyD]

That Mini rendering is awesome!

It reminds me of the Ford GT40 rendering that was featured on Jalopnik some time ago (I had the page bookmarked)....
