'34 Ford 3-Window Coupe - Custom

Been a while since I've done any work to post about here.  I've just completed a couple of new Renders for the "Coupe" version of my '34 Ford, so thought that I would share those.

New "Diner" Project for rendering environment

Beginning work on a "Diner" to be used in a new Rendering Environment. Here are a few preview pics as if moves along.  Exterior is close to being done, aside from a few tweaks here and there.  Then I'll start on the interior (as you will be able to see through the windows).

'34 Ford Roadster - Final

Finally calling this project complete.  While there are a few issues that keep it from being perfect, it's time to wrap it up and move on to the next project.  Hope you have enjoyed viewing the progress and will continue to stop in and view what's new.

'34 Ford Roadster

Just about finished up with the '34 that's been in the works for a while now.   Still need to button up a few issues and then map the body for painting.   Been a while since I've posted anything, so here's where she stands currently.

'34 Ford Roadster Body

Started on the Body for the '34 Ford Roadster, now that the Chassis is complete.   Hopefully this will move relatively quick, though I do intend to take the time to do the best job that I can on this.  So, without further ado, here is what I have so far. Special thanks to Anton Nesterov for the copy of his Hot Rod which I used to generate a set of base blueprints.  More to come soon.

13 May 2011 - Latest updates in the body development of the '34 Ford Roadster.  Added the Grill Shroud, Engine Side Panels, Door, and area between the two.    Ran a couple of "Reflection Test" renders to make sure that things are looking correct before proceeding further.

FYI - You can "Click" any image for a Larger view.

17 May 2011 - After a busy weekend I'm finally back with some further updates. Got the remainder of the running boards and rear fenders shaped in. Next up will be the rear skirt and pan to finish out the basic body, then it will be on to the Windsheild and interior.

Including a couple more TEST renders, to check reflections & Chassis fit. Looks like I'm gonna need a couple minor tweaks where the front fender crosses the chassis and probably have to shorten the back end of the chassis.

28 June 2011 -  It's been a while since I've been able to update this project.  Finally took some time last night to get back to work on the interior.  Here are a few early shots of the Dash work.  More to come soon.

Blast from the Past!

Wow!!   I was looking through an old director of mine the other day and came across these pictures.  This was the very first 3D model that I created from scratch...   A total custom hot rod straight from my imagination.   If memory serves me correctly, this was created in 3D Max 5, and was rendered with Brazil, and was done around 6-7 years ago.

'32 Ford Rolling Chassis

'Hey all,

  Starting in on the next Hot Rod for my growing stable.   Will try to post more "in progress" shots this time for those that are interested.      The first phase will be creating a complete "Rolling Chassis".  Here's what I've got done so far for tonights work.  Think that this will be it for the night.  More to come tommorow.  Stay tuned.   The Rear-End is currently borrowed from the CTJP Chassis by Hardknox. It will be replaced by my own eventually.
