FTO AUSTRALIA

Posted: **Wed Apr 28, 2004 2:12 pm**

hey guys..

having finished a short course on 3D modeling recently, i have started creating a model of an FTO...
i did this so i can start conceptualizing things for it without spending any money

(if you can't afford it, CREATE it)
over the next weeks i will be updating this thread on new concepts i have worked on..

currently i'm working on a new body kit...
these are some first pass renders of the model (see below) so pardon the quality of it... as you can see i haven't got any materials yet as i'm concentrating on the modeling...

crits welcome!!

and please post your ideas as well, if you have anything you want conceptualised for your fto just post it on here and ill try and work on it as much as i can.... just remember i only do this on my spare time so bare with me..

here are the images

before i get into any trouble i just would like to add that the bumper is a C-west inspired concept...

off the ev0-7 c-west kit....

Looks very good! Can't wait till you add textures to it! I always wanted to build a model of an fto, but I never have time...

Maybe, when you are done, can you render some large sized pictures so we can make nice backgrounds out of your model?

You can even put an fto Australia sticker some where on the model

What program are you using? 3D Studio Max? Maya?

Keep up the excellent work!

WOOWWWWWW thats really good Adriano, u got anyone to make the bodykit yet?

I get one, no question ask. Where do i sign????

Posted: **Wed Apr 28, 2004 6:55 pm**

that's unreal!

How long did it take you to do?

Posted: **Wed Apr 28, 2004 7:28 pm**

Adriano you've got some real talent there buddy... I love those designs, would you be able to add some things like a scoop on the roof simular to the motorsport elise and maybe some more vents like in the front of the rear flairs (between the door and the rear wheel arch like on ferrari's) and maybe some small vents on the bonnet aswell on the sides... just some idea's

Would you mind if I email some of those designs to NewGel here in Canberra to get a ruff price to manufacture something like that cos I recently sent some other sketches to them and they said to come in and discuss it with the boss as [quote] "anything is possible as long as the funds are available"...

btw what program did you use to create them???

Very impressive

thanks for the replies guys...

im using 3D max to model and render... still learning the software, this is actually my first 3D model in max...

i will be rendering them at high res once im happy with the model..
so far i have been working on it for a month

atleast 3 hrs/day... got too carried away with the mods, i dont even have it in stock form yet

Robb, yeah you can send the images to them if you like...
and ill keep those ideas in mind too...

ive recently modelled a different bonnet... well it's just off the new XR8...
pics of it soon...

cheers

Now we're talking! Bonnet from BA XR8 on FTO = me wetting my pants.

Great designs there as well mate. I really like what you've done with the front-end.

*wipes up drool before it shorts out lthe keyboard*

damn fine work adriano!

Posted: **Thu Apr 29, 2004 1:04 pm**

now only if we can get a reasonable price for the kit

u might've noticed already it is wider than the stock fto by atleast 60mm each side..

Posted: **Thu Apr 29, 2004 2:03 pm**

Wow 60mm per side!

I like those arches! But those rear arches will be slightly harder to fit eh?
Cos it flows into the doors as well! BUT I LIKE THEM! PERIOD!

yeah you're right, the widening on the rear starts from the door... so if it ever goes into production

you will need a bit that goes on the door as well, then blend it in....

Posted: **Thu Apr 29, 2004 3:27 pm**

that is by far the craziest bodykit i have ever seen!
where do we sign ?!?

Posted: **Thu Apr 29, 2004 4:26 pm**

Can we have piccys of the nice big ass and a close up of the rear wing as well? Wanna know if there's a lower rear lip as well!

Posted: **Thu Apr 29, 2004 4:35 pm**

rear end still stock at the moment, that'll be the next thing ill be working on....

the wing is from this website, i used their images as a reference...

I'm wanting to grab a hold of this 3d max software...

Any hints as to how I can get one apart from buying one?

Adriano?
