Luis Nieves Mark1

[LuisNieves]

Hello gentlemen,
My name Luis E. Nieves and I want to show you my last work, a CG model of a beautiful Mark 1.
This kind of 3D models are used in films or TV commercials, to be able of film in detail, making shots impossible to achieve in real life.
They are used in advertising for product visualization, or for VFX studios that in the worst case scenario are going to crash them... I had good experiences myself making some virtual changes for owners, who want to see new paint schemes, change the rims etc., before they make a interesting money investment.

I will appreciate your feedback and comments.

Wow! Simply stunning!

It's so hard to believe that all of your images are CG. Some of them are so realistic!

You've got some unbelievable talent!

Keep them coming.

No problem, yes it means exactly that, CGI (Computer Graphics Imagery). I use Autodesk Maya to create still images and/or animation secuences.

Very nice!!

Thank you

Luis, welcome to the forum
echo the other comments, such realism and stunning renditions.
How did you achieve the accuracy of form of the body, is that discussed in your forum thread?

Hello Dave, thanks for your comment.
Unfortunately there's no technical aspects implemented in my thread, I'm sorry. Is more a step by step construction of the model in a virtual environment.
I didn't base my modeling process on measurements, or mechanical data. I just downloaded about 250 pictures of the car, some of them from this website, and start the process with a very basic and not accurate blueprints that I can provide.

 

[Pete McCluskey.]

Hi Luis, welcome I concur with all the previous comments a great talent you have and I dare say a lot of patience.

P.S. the link to your hi res stuff appears to be broken.

 

[Jim Rosenthal]

So this ISN'T a real car? It only exists in cyberspace? Are you SURE?

 

[David Sturch]

Jim,
Here what Maya is about. Look's like Luis is an animator or designer. Nice work Luis. I gave my son all of my animation software and he likes Maya the best.

Thank you very much Pete, not patience but love. I checked the link, is death indeed, I don't know the reason though, I linked the pictures that I posted in gt40s.com's gallery. I will post a link redirected to my own website, ASAP.

Hahaha, thank you man, yes is a CGI car, no limits for virtual visualization...

I am totally staggered - espescially by the degree of detail on ancilliary components - and even to some chalk writing on one of the tyres.
CGI has kust taken a massive step forward. A rare talent with such an eye for detail.
Well done Luis.

 

[René]

amazing, it looks so real...beautiful, its a art.

Luis,
+1 to all of the comments above.

Luis:
Great work. Probably the best introduction I have seen here on the forum.
I noticed that those files are quite large, 13mb or so, and the detail is really nice when zooming in.
Will the software allow you 360 deg. views?
Really awesome!
Cheers
Phil
