I’ve been building this out in Modo for a project that involves rendering a product inside a car. It’s by no means true-to-life in terms of dimensions and fine details, and close-inspection will definitely give it away, but it should be enough to come across nicely for the application in question. Process renders after the jump.

Beautiful. I’m so jealous.
hoo ! excellent stuff.
I see you chose the new Taurus for your starting point, nice choice.
I haven’t modeled anything in over two years now. Man, how time flies. Seeing this makes me miss modeling a bit. It also makes me scared to think about trying anything this complex since I wouldn’t have a clue where to begin.
Looks really awesome, how long did it take you?
Good eye, Nate! For this particular project, I needed the interior to be a Ford, and the new Taurus seemed like a good fit for the project.
Since it’s all sub-d, it’s actually not all that hard. I built it all in modo, and it probably took about 30 hours or so. I think if I were to do it again I could do it in quite a bit less, but that’s always true when modeling something for the first time. I was really excited to have the opportunity to learn sub-d a little better though!
The whole process has gotten me excited again. Now that modo is a much more powerful rigging and animation tool than it used to be, I’m thinking of diving into that as well.
OMG! This is absoluticrous!!!
Hahaha, thanks Dave :)
sweet!. is this nurbs or polygons?
Hi Shane. Since it’s for viz only, it’s all polys. I’m still a beginner, but I’m getting better! This has been a great excuse to really dig into sub-d.
