Audi s5 (2008) By Mateusz Kliber on 28 Jul 15:25

Guess I have to update the GrabCAD Car Collection again. :) Nice work Mateusz!

Scott, hopefully it will be endless job.

I hope so too! I love seeing new car models.

This is a great model.
:)

Will add one to your collection in a few months Scott.
:)

Any chance we could get a .STEP version? The IGES version imported but there are a lot of surface errors (I've always had problems with complex models and IGES format)

Finally, something other than an R8! ;) Really cool work Mateusz. This is one of my favorite 2-door sports cars.

@Josh I also have Audi TT in my GrabCad collection

@Scott .STEP is uploading now, it will take some time becouse it weight >200MB

I see you also have a BMW Z4 on your youtube page. Any chance well get to see it here on GrabCAD? ^_^

It is a Z4 and Bentley MK6. but I decided to not publishing them because they aren't well made and look bad. These were my first models.

They look good to me? I know I would love to see them, maybe we can help fix them up if you aren't happy with them.

I mean surfaces, there is too many surfaces with only G0 continuity. This is why it looks bad. I didnt mean renders, but I can send it to you and you can add it to your picture. It should look nice from that distance.

btw. another .stp is coming, it is better and smaller (~60MB)

Yeah Mateusz, you could always post the other car models and let people know about the surfacing, see if anyone had good ways to approach it. A challenge! Still would be a good go by to recreate another model. Definitely keep'em coming!

I can promise you that I will post the next car project... when it is ready (and worth to post :-)).

Notice the picture with cars in the background. It is a Polish car - "Syrena 105" and it is one of the default backgrounds in CATIA. Ahh, so proud to be Polish ... ^. ^

Awesome work ! did you use freestyle or Icem Shape Design to model it ?

Nice render Scott, what do you use to render?

Thanks William, that was done in PhotoView 360.

Thanx Scott, just so many good programmes out there for rendering I just don't know were to start LoL'ss.

@smashing.cadillac I draw it using GSD (GenerativeShapeDesign) and FreeStyle

@Scott Bruins Is it default PhotoView enviroment on your pic? (very nice btw). I think that it isn't (I use PV 2010). Where did you get it?

Thanks, glad you like it. It is not part of the default PhotoView environments. It is studio 24 (pack 2) of these HDRI sets http://www.luxrender.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=3005

Thanx Scott, just went to there website and had a little look and watched vid of there software, Just a little daunting all this rendering software and what one to start with I have tried Bunk speed and now messing around with Keyshot2. I have got 3Ds Max but still not got a clue on how to use it yet. Any suggestions what I would be better starting out with?

If I had my pick I would go with modo by Luxology.

Np's thanx for the advise Scott.
:)

Now most of my renders looks so poor compared to your... but I'm waiting for more.
Thank you for the link!

Wicked in red
nice job.
:)

William, don’t listen to Scott. The folks at Luxology definitely say that modo isn’t as simple as say KeyShot to use but it’s much-much more powerful, allows more control, gives more functionality etc. If you already have Keyshot then use this to learn the basics, and later you can pretty much transfer a lot of that over to any other rendering software.

Of course in another way Scott is perfectly correct - modo is a very nice package.

Siim is right, if you are just starting out KeyShot (or even PhotoView 360 if you are using Solidwork) is probably a better choice for a beginner. But for value and performance modo would still be my choice.

Thank Siim & Scott for the advise, I have took it on board what the two of you have said.
:)
as you said Siim I will learn how to use KeyShot first then move on with what Scott said,
:)

This is a very good model.
Thank you.

Thank you all for the nice comments!
You can watch new video (very short, but new :)) here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKNW9o3B3WU

Mateusz,
you can add this video to your file here as well and it takes 1 minute.

Edit model, copy-paste youtube video url to "Link to Video" field and there it is.

Nice viz Mateusz
:)

Mateusz,

looks good.

This look fantastic. HI

@Hardi Meybaum: Thank you, it works. It must be a new feature. I haven't seen this before.

looks good! Can you share the Catia file? I'd love to see how you built it

Sorry but I can't share with you Catia file. I can recomend you my Audi TT tutorial (it is in SolidWroks but might be helpful) available in my YouYube channel, you can also check Camaro tutorial (by Matthew Perez). There is one free car tutorial in Catia V5, look for "dickson sham catia tutorial r8 rebuild". If you really want to build a simple car in Catia it should be enough.

Wicked Mateusz
first class
:)

Maybe it looks like a first class, but not so much becouse of my rendering skills. It does becouse of a great .hdri enviroment :)

Well I think your rendering skills are good
:)
the HDRI just makes it a little better
:)

It is great Scott! Front wheels should be little turned?/twisted? (ehh my english...), but it is my fault, not your. Feel free to "Playing around with GIMP" and my models :)).
Thank you.

Thanks Mateusz! Its supposed to be "drifting", I need to look up how to make a good smoke effect for the rear tires.

I know a way....

And I know the URL:
http://solidcookup.blogspot.com/2011/07/tutorial-how-to-make-your-rendered-car.html

but I thought that Scott also knows it.

Any chance you could share your knowledge Robert? :)
I don't have photoshop, I'm using GIMP which is free but not as powerful.

does gimp support layers, transparency and does it have an eraser function?

Yes it does

http://pixlr.com/ is an interesting (online) images editor (by Autodesk). You can try it.

this is in top 5 grabcad's model, for me!!!

Many thanks!

haha, that gif is going to give someone a seizure.

Wicked
:)

Looks great Sylvain.
