Pixels or Atoms ?

There are some seriously good 3D modelers around there, doing an excellent job everytime they put their fingers on a new car. So I felt the urge to focus more on the quality of my models. I’ve been away from modeling several months, so it was a good opportunity to resume working on the LP640 Roadster : I performed serious rework on it, starting with a much better spline cage, more accurate with cleaner and smoother lines.

I started then to fully remodel the hood, front bumper, front fenders. Then time has come for sides : doors, side skirts, rear fenders, top air intakes. I just keeped the previous rear end, as it was already good enough in my opinion, and the engine cover.

Here are some clay renders of the model, I hope it shows the new surfaces quality clearly.

It’s definitely a long-term project : I started it almost 2 years ago. But I’m still fascinated by this car : so impressive, so powerful, so extreme. I think I will get back to it soon
