More Bang for your Buck

[Mystical]

First paint scheme for me painting on the new BR2011 mod. This car was made in thought of a good friend of mine. I'm still getting used to the new BR templates so I didn't go too crazy on this base. I made my own custom Pontiac GT 2011 parts since in my fictional carset I wanted Pontiac in the series as well. Credits below, enjoy!

Base: Created by me
Car Number: Created by me in After Effects CS5
Sponsors: Best Brands of the World / google / masgraphix
Template: SRD Chevy template with custom Pontiac parts added by me (I take no credit for original template, only the Pontiac parts I created myself in After Effects)
Render Scene: Created by Me in Maya 2011 and After Effects CS5

Side Note: I'm not starting a CPU war here, I actually built my own pc that has an intel i7 in it ^_^

Nice paint. Nice render. How do you like Maya over 3DS Max? What are the benefits/drawbacks of using Maya??

Man that car rocks! I'm an I7 user as well

Thanks =)

Yeah I really like Maya for modeling and rendering purposes a lot. I've been using this 3D program for years and then through college as well so it has kinda stuck on me. I guess one drawback is it works in quads instead of tris so when I import NR2003 models for rendering I usually have to fix the normals on the car.

Other than that, when I am modeling my own stuff and rendering the program is a dream, it's really great for character modeling and the sort. Rendering is super fast as well with Mental Ray.

thanks man, yeah if I get permission from SRD / the original BR chevy template owner then I think I could distribute it. I could always just give out the pontiac parts I made myself but then it would be a hassle since everyone would have to know what layers in the original chevy temp to turn off and stuff to make it look normal lol.

Yeah I understand. Always best to get permission first. Been trying to make a Pontiac template myself but its kind of frustrating lol.
