Opinions welcome: My post-apocalyptic ride

[Anim8or]

I'm an animator who's working on a film with this 6 wheel dune buggy/hot rod in it. The front axle doesn't make much sense so I'm wondering if you guys like it or not. Just finished the trailer with shots of the ride in question.

Any opinions welcome. Cheers

You shoudl post some static shots so we can see it better.

Needs exhaust with flames.

[EuroOEM]

you made that?

[Anim8or]

you made that?

Yeah I'm the director. I had a lot of help with it though.

I'll post some renders of just the car soon.

Intelligent slugs and sentient robots, and you're worried about the front axle?

In Sci Fi self aware slugs and robots are fine, but flawed mechanical design can get the geeks lighting their torches.

Would watch! And....

Bwwaahahaha. So true.

He clearly said axil. Not axle.

That's the reason why I'm not watching.

Yeah I mix up axle/axil & brake/break a lot when I don't pay attention to my typing. Sorry about that. No worries about boycotting my film based on a typo.

For the rest of you, thanks for your continued input

In for renders. And +1 on making it make sense. The other day I was watching a show about talking tools with my daughter and was upset about the mechanic's diagnosis of the broken truck

[VertigoGTI]

In for static shots as well. What did you do this in? Maya? C4D?

Handy Manny, eh? Yeah, I'm a dad, too.

Anim8or, your animation is considerably better!

I agree that it needs to appear to work. Those kinds of things really bug me, too. Having the front 4 wheels steer would be good, like the Tyrrell.

[Inspector Detector]

Sorry, not buying it. The only sensible vehicle after the apocalypse will be one of these.

[Anim8or]

Here's an early model render before texture work. More to come...

[VadGTI]

Ok, that is friggin' awesome ...

[0dd_j0b]

That is pretty bad ass, I must say. And the film looks quite interesting as well. As for the front axle, how does the front axle not make sense? I mean, in more details, other than, "it doesnt seem to work"

[Bias_Ply]

please don't call it that, it denigrates the genre.

[KahviVW]

Looks like a movie I would want to watch!

Well the front axle doesn't make sense because there isn't one, in a way. I'll post more pics later today to show what I mean.

[dos]

Pretty cool. I watch almost everything SciFi.

[Dave Zero]

Make the exhaust sidepipes like an old corvette that shoot 10 foot blue flames out in front of the tires.

Also, maybe a gatling gun and the air scoop could be a cool shape.

I like the seat and details and tire chains.

Awesome. It's a lot easier to be a critic than create.

[The Igneous Faction]

Reminds me of this:



So you know, that's cool.

What about making the two front wheels, well, not wheels. Make them grinders of some sort to blow through angry robotic meanies therefor protecting your actual front wheels from contact. That way they'd not need to be functional from a drive or steering standpoint.

[alfafan]

Well if the slugs need any help, I know this guy who's a real.

One of my biggest pet peeves right there. But besides that, nice video! I might watch the movie if it is able to live up to it's preview.

[EGSEDAN]

It looks sort of "insectoid", so the 6 wheel/limbs make sense to me.

[deucestudios]

Cool. You gotta post a stationary shot of the vehicle though...
Maybe configure the front axles similiar to a 2.5 ton rockwell?
Which the slugs would find a lot of in post apocolyptic USA...

Handy Manny, eh?

is played by Wilmer Valderrama, or Fez from That 70s Show (dad check in!)

[Nash20thAE]

The robots should just carry around salt shakers. /movie

[0dd_j0b]

I see, Well I am interested in those pictures.

Movie looks like a real slugfest.

I shall facepalm myself for that.

[Anim8or]

[nickthaskater]

Times like this I wish I'd stuck with 3D modeling

Gorgeous render

[GermaniuM]

That looks awesome. GO SLUGS!

no problem.
