Need pictures of specific parts of GT-R body - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

Jerriko · 26th October 2005, 11:47 PM

Hey guys... I, like others, don't have my own Skyline GT-R at the moment. My friend's dad had one, and since then... well you know how it goes. Anyway, to pass the time, i'm trying to model my own gt-r in 3D. Here's a couple stills of my work in progress.

I was wondering if any of you guys, having direct access to the vehicle, could tell me if you see any touch-ups I could make thus far...

Also, If anyone could help me out, I need pictures of the following to start modeling (can be r33 or 34)...
Underside of vehicle
Close-ups of the tirewell
Close shots of side windows
Close-ups of windshield wiper area between hood and window (front and back)
Undercarriage

Thanks a lot if you can help me out. Just need as much reference as possible. I can't find a picture of the underside of a gt-r anywhere! Probably not the easiest picture to take. Ahh well. Thanks if any of you can help me out.

Dorry matey - I only have a GTR32, but all the same that looks like some quality work you're doing there!

Look forward to seeing the finish article

Keep it up!

I have tons of pics in my gallery. If you take a look there, you´ll find pics of both the underside of the car and also of the rear side windows. I had the sponsors logos there last year when the pics were taken but I guess you only need the shape of the window?

Here´s the link to the gallery:

Hope it helps!

Hi! I have an image from a R34's underside.
Send me a privete and I´ll email you.
I´m studing industrial design and I work with 3Dstudio max, do you work with that? if you do, please, can you send me the car to work with that? Thanks!

GTRalex · 27th October 2005, 03:13 PM

wow that is some skill you have.
very impressive

Thanks Perra, those 2 pics of the underside are very helpful

Thank you as well Snowgasm. That's an awesome database of pics you've got there! Still can't find any closeups of the windshield wiper area up front. I'll keep looking. Thanks again for all the help guys. I'll post new pics when i'm further along

Here's an update of the project. I'm still having a hard time getting pics of the main underside of the car... if anyone has the ability to get some pics of it i'd really appreciate it. I need some with part of the siding in the picture so i can get reference for sizes and how they come together. Thanks for whatever you guys can come up with if anything.

Also, I know you guys have a spent a lot of time looking at the car, so if you can see any flaws or details that deserve changing so far, I'd greatly appreciate any critics. Thanks again!

Jerriko · 3rd November 2005, 06:39 PM

for some reason, the pics on my last post didn't show up as the new ones unless I logged in. Very strange, but just wanted to let people know if they were seeing some of the same ones as up top, just log in and it should display properly

sideways.taff · 4th November 2005, 08:24 PM

Very neat work mate. I'm a professional 3D modeller myself and I can safely say thats some tidy work you've done there. I'd be interested to see the control mesh you've got, theres a few pinched polygon regions here and there but on the whole its a very neat model. Theres a few places that seem to need a tweak, I know from experience that after modelling a car for ages then you become blind to some of the smaller details. Good work though, keep at it

Jerriko · 6th November 2005, 09:17 PM

Thanks for the heads-up sideways.taff

Maybe if you can see the mesh I'm using to contol my sub-d's you could point more specifically to problem areas? If you can i'd appreciate it. Anyway, here are two screenshots of such. Thanks again for the critique.

both the front and the back bumpers I know look really dirty in poly's! haha Sometimes I get really frustrated trying to keep everything in quads, but it must be done. Workin on the rest of the car for now, n i'll probably spend a considerable amount of time trying to tweak the bumpers later on for sure.

Jerriko · 10th November 2005, 07:46 AM

I just want to thank you guys for the help

Anyway, I've done about as much with this car as i can handle at the moment, so here's my final untextured result. <br>
