Car Render Challenge 2016 - Mercedes AMG roadstar  

Hello everyone!, this is my first time competing here. I chose a Mercedes AMG specifically for its long burnet and nice curves. I used the spline method to get the overall shape, then converted the resulting surfaces to polygons for detailing. I haven't got any ideas for the environment yet, but i hope to create a great environment for it.

Hi Charles, nice start. I'm sure this car could look nice in any scene 🙂 Good luck!

intersting start with nurbs ^^ looking forward to see more 🙂

Thanks! 🙂

I haven't had much time these past days, but i was able to make out time. I'm almost done with the model, just few more things to create and i'm off to the environment. Here are my updates..... 

I made a test render for the steering wheel and seat...

I finally completed the tires :).

I later tried to achieve a brush metallic type of surface on the brake disk.... As little as this looks, it really gave me a little tough time trying to achieve it in mental ray..... I had to do some little  experimenting....

I've also started creating some skyscrapers in zbrush for my environment.... 

When creating the skyscraper, i didn't worry about the internal structure..... all i was after was to create some interesting eye details on the model. I used the surface noise technique to achieve this.... I basically created some random models in Maya, then baked it onto a 2.5D canvas in Zbrush... The resulting alpha maps were then used as a surface noise generator...
