Aston Martin DB9

The Aston Martin was the most difficult to model by far. I started modelling the car at first by using a box and trying to modify it to become a nice smooth shape, but this I found was too difficult. So I searched for an easier, more efficient way, then I found the most difficult way of all, (although I wouldn't notice this until later). I have started modelling the car on a poly by poly technique, this was very fiddly and time consuming. And I haven't got it completely smooth yet, but that is to come with lots of little tweaking.


The glass for the windows is the same material, I wanted to make the glass so it was just one big poly, but this meant the shape of the frame, once mesh smoothed, would go all jagged. So this was just avoided by putting in more polys. The windows are slighty blacked out for the time being, although I am tempted to keep the effect as I feel it looks good as the light relects off it.


The lights were quite enjoyable to make, I simply made a cone, extruded the end and made it smaller, and then created a bulb which has a chrome material interior and the glass front, this wasn't too difficult to produce but I feel they look very effective, especially in the car. Also something that wasn't too difficult was the front grill, this was just a series of cylinders arranged correctly. I feel these also look very effective.

I have put wheels and tyres on the car, but these do not look very good as they are just make-shift ones for the time being, I will be improving these with proper alloys so I will be uploading them once they look right.
