Model Continued

Now the exterior of the car has been completed, the last element to be added were the wheels of the car.  The tutorials suggested by the client Mark Cushley did not cover how to develop wheels for the car.  Further research using YouTube was conducted in order to find a good tutorial in how to create car wheels was carried out.  Four tutorials were found initially on creating alloy wheels for cars. Having watched the four videos which might have helped in the wheel development, it was decided to follow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9lw8VrCcog, (Anderson, 2017), 8fifty2torials once again, as the tutorials on the Jaguar F-type they had created were very simple and helpful.  This tutorial turned out to be as effective and helpful as their previous tutorials for creating and developing the Jaguar F-type exterior.

The other wheel tutorials were, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQmQNgAKYRo, (Digital Illusion, 2013), https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjxRl57YK6A, (Digital Illusion, 2013) and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvoqDDCziZY, (Hermes, 2015).

The client Mark Cushley responded to my last updates of emails and requested screen shots of the Jaguar model smoothed and with wire frame mode on, which can be seen in the email screen shot in figure 116-119.  For this review, the model was temporarily duplicated to show a full model car.  Feedback was very positive with the client pleased with the progress.

Continuing with the wheel tutorial, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9lw8VrCcog, (Anderson, 2017), and using a reference image of alloy wheels which can be seen in figure 124, to aide in creating alloy wheels similar to the reference image whilst also following the tutorial.  As with the Jaguar model creation so far, the alloys were created by extruding edges and then appropriately bending the edges to move around accordingly in order to replicate a real alloy wheel, which can be seen in figure 120.  Although the alloy wheel used in figure 124, may or may not be used on a Jaguar F type, it was the most similar to that being used in the tutorial video being emulated.  It can also be noted that cars can be adapted to custom from owner to owner with each car having different elements or parts such as alloy wheels and tyres.

Once one spoke had been created, using the duplicate special option, the other four spokes were created by adding 72 to the angle and number of copies to 5. For this to work correctly it should also be noted to place the pivot at the base of the model, holding down D button and moving with X button to snap into place. This can be seen in figure 121 & 122.

Further slight additions were added to the wheel using figure 123 as a reference to place a break disk and break pads to the model, just to add more detail.

Once the spokes had been completed, with the vertex all merged together, a outside rim was created along with a centre bolt cap, which can be seen in figure 125.

With the alloys now completed, the final part of the exterior left to be completed was the tyres.  Using the following YouTube tutorial on how to quickly build tyres was followed, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjhYrt60DCA, (NiptoonHouse, 2016).  The end outcome can be seen in figure 126-129.  Only one element could not be duplicated correctly from the tutorial was the extruding faces for the tyres in order to create the ridges or trenches for the tyres.  However, a texture can be used and applied to correctly emulate tyres in appearance.

Now that the Jaguars exterior has been completed, the final screen shots were sent to the client for feedback and approval as seen in figure 130, before moving on the UV texturing process, and the final texturing process of the model.
