This is incredible! I found it on a cg forum, and it just blew my mind… ![http://www.fictionfactory.co.za/idi_mini/m6scene.jpg](http://www.fictionfactory.co.za/idi_mini/m6scene.jpg) ---

Simply amazing. Rendering has come a long way. Practically everything you see in car commercial these days is probally done in CG. Here are some other nice renderings (of cars): ![http://www.3dluvr.com/grid/temp/Golf1/Golf1_108_.jpg](http://www.3dluvr.com/grid/temp/Golf1/Golf1_108_.jpg) ![http://www.artistpub.hu/content/miscimages/37/337_l.jpg](http://www.artistpub.hu/content/miscimages/37/337_l.jpg) ![http://www.artistpub.hu/content/miscimages/77/577_l.jpg](http://www.artistpub.hu/content/miscimages/77/577_l.jpg) ---

CG = computer graphics _The techie term reffering to images created or modified on a computer_ [http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=cg&f=1](http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=cg&f=1) :shock: BTW, In the pictures that I posted, the vehicles is pure CG while the backdrop/environment is just a 2D bitmap image. Lighting is now computed using the bitmap image as a reference. It’s called: HDRI (High Dynamic Range Imaging). How it works (in a simple way): [http://www.richardrosenman.com/hdri.htm](http://www.richardrosenman.com/hdri.htm) ---

Its amazing. Just look at the Porsche, how smooth and glossy the sides are but the detail of the scenery reflected in the paint. That’s intense! ---

Technology has advanced a lot. I remember 5 years ago when it was nearly impossiblet o render a proper reflection out of a modeled polygon, never mind bitmaped environments. It’s really click click click now a days for the texturing, but the modeling hasn’t gotten any easier. Too many option, so little time. I haven’t modeled any cars in years, i’ll post my Lambourghini as soon as I find it. It would be interesting to do a 240… does anyone know where i can get blueprits of the car?

[http://www.suurland.com](http://www.suurland.com) has a great collection of blueprints. They have a 240sx, but it’s only an S14. As well as a few Skylines.

thanks G, i’ll start doing the S14, i’m looking for an S13, those are hard to find. DRE ---

I don’t know exactly what you guys are looking for, but I made this a while back using a scanned in picture from the Nissan FSM ![http://membersdb.son240sx.ca/images/membersdb/1009_s13_blueprint.jpg](http://membersdb.son240sx.ca/images/membersdb/1009_s13_blueprint.jpg) ---

> [@SHIFT\_SR20DET](#): > > I don’t know exactly what you guys are looking for, but I made > this a while back using a scanned in picture from the Nissan FSM In order to make a 3D model of a car (or basically antyhing similar), you need various angles of the picture. Primarily: front, side, and top. There’s tonnes of info on how to model vehicles, but it’s time consuming if you really aren’t familar with a certain software. ---

Hey Adam, does the FSM have line drawings of front, side top and back of teh S13? that would be perfect for an acurate model. Gonad is right, this stuff takes a looooong time. the Lambo’ took me over 40 hours and it’s “loosly” based on the real thing. DRE ---
