Mitsubishi Eclipse
Task
Fully model a rig a 90s Japanese sports car
Inspiration and origin
While in university I briefly had the opportunity to model a car and it was one of the hardest things I had ever modeled, and look terrible. 2 years later and I still had not attempted to model a car again however after learning new modeling techniques such as splines cages, I decided to try and push myself again by attempting to model a 90s Japanese sports car. I chose a 1996 MitsubIshi Eclipse to model because the overall shape had very few flat parts and I wanted to push my self.
While not perfect it was a good bench mark for me and I look forward to trying to create another car at some point in the future.
Software used
-
Maya
Maya was used to model and Uv the car.
-
Blender
Blender was used to rig and texture the car. Using textures from Textures.com I was able to quickly put together a small scene using blender as the renderer.
Originally I Created a small scene on a pier to show off the car but later decided I wanted to place the car in a city at night.
