[WIP] 1950s isometric cars (C+C wanted)

[The Mozack]

Redone the rims and hubcaps. Shadows adjustments are next.

well done, keep going

[The Mozack]

Safe to say it's nearly done, barring a few more adjustments and a final inspection. After that, it's on to alphas to produce semi-transparent shades.

[The Mozack]

Looks ready (EDIT: OK, maybe not). With three more colours for transparency shades, that brings the final colour count to 22.

Might need a bit more practice on cars like this. Probably some other time though.

[The Mozack]

Changed the shadow colours (both greys to black) and readjusted the alpha channel.

[The Mozack]

In light of recent events, I've decided to create another European car of a similar era, this time a Swedish Saab 93, specifically, an early 1956-1957 model. Because I'm only a few hours in, the car body design is still unfinished. The Westminster is being used as a comparison, although the size of the 93 can be assumed to be slightly smaller but uses the same tire size.

[The Mozack]

Finalized body profile. Moved on to shading and body reflection. I would really appreciate some input on these elements in particular. How will they behave when they overlap?

[The Mozack]

Minor refinements on body design, major for front bumper (now doing the rear bumper).

And it turns out I'll have to makes smaller wheels after all. Even the one included here is still to wide for the rear wheel well.

You have some inspiring undertakings. 


Your version looks more squarish than the actual car:

Maybe it's on purpose, since I see some of that in the Westminster too (no ref checked there though).
It's not the easiest thing to pixel anyway, and shading will help I'm sure.

It's mostly a problem with front and back fenders.

There is also a persp issue with the grille: it looks slightly to the right of the car's front middle.


I still don't know how to link text without the whole url appearing.

Awesome detail

I'm pretty sure that the new wheel isn't in isometric perspective, the top leaning towards us.

The first car's wheels would look awesome with the chrome effect, here's an edit on a possible direction
The AA is also pretty lacking. It's only really a problem on the edges of lots of contrast, like cream and black (i.e on the wheels)
