C&J Contest : Citroen 2CV

[rcat]

Well not sure about this. This competition was always going to be about texturing and thats not what I'm good at. But if it helps me to improve then its all good.
SO , if I don't finish , then I dont finish.
Concept will be a decrepit 2CV in a Parisian side street. Concept sketches will follow (when I've actually done them)
Decided on this car as it should fit the environment well. Some nice rusty wheels, torn roof etc.

[rcat]

Nice!

If i would join this contest it would have been with this car, we have 2 at home so very good reference xD But it shouldn't be too hard to find junky references about this car, it's only whats left of them!

 

[rcat]

Hey man , i can easily change the car to anything else if you want to do the citroen. No problem at all , just shout.

 

[Erik_S]

No no, i don't have time or the effort for this atm, and rusty things aren't my thing. I just said IF.. but i don't want to take your pleasure If you need some refpics just let me know and i'll see what i can do for you! Atm no 2cv is completely stripped but i can do my best! i also have a big database of the first 2cv getting stripped so i could get something nice for you!

 

[rcat]

Thanks , very kind of you. If it's not too much trouble I'd welcome some close pictures of headlights , badges, wing mirrors - you know the kind of stuff thats useful.

 

[OldDog]

cool i have one CV2 in perfect condition so maybe i can help too
I want to see this one finished looks cool

Hey that picture whit the yellow sing, its from my dad's friend - car hehe interesting

 

[rcat]

Cool mate , appreciate anything you can offer. Gimme some wheel closeups if you can.

 

[OldDog]

ahh dam my dad sent it to Germany :/ ,but I'll upload all the pictures i have tomorrow

 

[rcat]

Just started on the car , been working out the scene up til now.
It's very rough , I always block things out and refine as I go on.

 

[rcat]

More shaping. Still very rough. I'm not going mad with details, will be concentrating on textures so I'll finish modelling as soon as possible.

 

[NightEye]

Looking good You might want to round up your fenders a bit though. Or is this going to be meshsmoothed?

 

[rcat]

Smoothed.
Don't mind the lumps & bumps , haven't done much mesh refining yet.

 

[rcat]

Not much to show, working on scene.

 

[P A L A T]

Great choice, going well!

 

[rcat]

Did a few parts tonight. Wasn't happy with the camera angle and moved it around a bit - better?

 

[OldDog]

hy man, i had some kind off problems, whit my laptop fixed it up, so now I'm searching for those pictures
Now i'll upload them for reall :/ sorry for w8ing . hope they will help

now you model is looking good its very nice
may be you should make some simple details on front like on the hood a hole for the headlights and , for (turning lights) yellow things xD lol
and yea some models ,well its not to the model , it to driver but they have like chrome plates on the wheels, you should add it on one wheel may be, whit some rust gona look cook

EDIT; The camera angel is much better , its showing the car in bigger plan

 

[rcat]

Thanks man real good of you to do that.
Yeah , I got plenty more stuff to model on the car yet, dont worry, its not finished yet.

Did some texture tests on the floor , heres what i got so far. The base texture is from CGtextures , I just did some photoshop work on the kerb area.

I'm gonna move the window to the other side, to give the wall next to the car a bit more interest
