Hello!

 

Here is my entry for this year's car render challenge. It took me a while to make, but it was real fun and I'm happy that I managed to finish this work in time.
 
Below you can see the final result and in few next posts I'll try to break down the creative process behind this render.

So the idea is a kind of modernized chariot race. With antique race track and crowd dressed in togas but car that still resemble chariots. Maybe llike a alternative rality where Roman Empire never colapsed.

 

I found some cool inspirations like Ben Hur

One in particular I really like and had it in mind when I first come up with ideas.
It's Jean-Leon Gerome "Pollice Verso".
The whole composition of my scene is a kind of homage to this artwork.

While looking for references I found out that some people actually realised similar idea.

Motorcycle-Chariot races were a thing in 1930s Australia

For the car a lot of inspiration came from the vintage racing cars. The car's body had this slick shape and the engine in front was kinda like the replacement of the horse pulling the chariot. (if that makes any sense :P)

I pulled some blueprints of vintage racing vehicles and started doing blockout in blender.

I focused quite a lot on the frame and the suspension.

Gradually I've added more and more details.

I modeled the retro-looking engine, though I think from realistic, mechanical standpoint this thing wouldn't work.

Added some more cables on the side, also I did make interior, cabin parts. There were never meant to be seen in the render, but wanted to make the whole thing with the nice details.

When I was done with the modeling a optimised it a bit, removed unnecessary vertices and did some quick UV unwrapping.
