More work

still need more black bits, especially on the inside

[yeldar2097]

super tasty! how does it work/what is it?
(sorry i'm not very perceptive)

[eLhabib]

Haha that was my first thought as well: 'Looks nice, but... what is it?!'

[SaturnReturn]

I kinda thought it looked like an anti-grav ship based on an animal skull shape. It's clearly a speed-machine of some variety, based on the competition link. I think it's missing an interior at the mo though.

[blackwiggle]

I understand it's work in progress but ATM it looks like a very thick pantie liner.

Or something out of Yelder's extensive shoe collection.

[mdhay]

Well, that's more insight into the world of Blackwiggle.

[yeldar2097]

if i had shoes like that i think i'd pass out with excitement

These are different views of it, I've messed about with the composite nodes in blender (post-pro awesome stuff, allows things that you couldn't do to an exported render without a lot of work by hand, e.g. DOF, blurring only set objects in the scene, motion blur, seperating passes, ect.)

The rules for the Blender F1 Challenge state that it has to be a open cockpit (this is the only design criteria), but I have pretty much no idea for the drivers seat of this thing. However, it'll probably be black with blue glowy bits again

[yeldar2097]

once again, looks ace
you reckon you're in with a shot at winning? maybe you'll be famous!

[blackwiggle]

It looks great,especially the front on view in the third image.
But it looks just a little too pristine atm IMHO.

Maybe some sort of graduating scales,like a lizards,from say,only partially,from the the 2nd [upper part of the front],tapering off to two large ones that could work as steering/braking devices,similar too some of the HD craft.
Controllable aerodynamics so to speak.

Just throwing ideas at you.

RESPECT great craft as is.

PS:mdHay if you new the amount of those bastard pantliners ,or parts of them have clogged up the bog[mugging has to unclog from the system] then you would be very familiar with them as well,all but one female in the house knows NOT to try and flush them

[mdhay]

Well it's a good thing I don't.

[omega329]

I don't know if I'll win it, I'm not expecting to, since looking at some of the WIP threads on BlenderArtists

could you draw this? I'm afraid I can't tell what you mean...

[DawnFireDragoon]

bored?

check this out. A nice read, wether you agree with the positioning or not.

imo 2097 should have been a little higher...and had the correct picture!!!!

[yeldar2097]

where the bloody hell is timesplitters?

[omega329]

Imagebin links are dead, I've been detailing the front recently

(this is a render of only the shell, it's faster to render and easier to edit this way)

[Lance]

bump..

[mdhay]

I think Blackburn now has swine flu.

[yeldar2097]

yeah about 25 people i know have it. they all got it at the same party (except for me because i'm really cool)

if anybody wants to know (i'm telling you anyway), i now have 50 pairs of shoes

shops ftw

[LOUDandPROUD]

I think you need to modify a pair of your shoes to be WO-themed. It must be done!

[yeldar2097]

i might actually do that. i'll get some plain shoes and airbrush some stuff on.

i could either use white shoes and do actual images or i could do silhouettes with any colour..... tasty
