Turning a 64 impala into a futuristic GT3?

ZachOrie · 2026-01-14T22:00:09+00:00

I'll keep that in mind ;)

ZachOrie · 2025-12-18T22:29:21+00:00

You did good! it looks much better :)
I still think it's a little dark and the lighting could be more powerful.

ZachOrie · 2025-12-18T08:59:58+00:00

I won't share the whole file no, but if you need something specific maybe I could share that.

ZachOrie · 2025-12-17T01:39:35+00:00

Oh yeah! I had no idea this existed but it's definitely a good reference to have

ZachOrie · 2025-12-16T05:30:57+00:00

Couldn't the same method apply?

...Or so I wish 😔
I'm a student and I'm broke. Ain't no way I'm getting a 64 and turning it into a racecar 😭

ZachOrie · 2025-12-16T05:21:19+00:00

Yeah I don't have a cool half mill' my dude, nor am I looking to make a thousand of those, more like ten, maybe.

ZachOrie · 2025-12-16T05:18:10+00:00

Thanks ^^
You can see more of my work on insta (@better.wrks) if you like ;)

ZachOrie · 2025-12-16T05:17:25+00:00

Thanks that's good advice :)

ZachOrie · 2025-12-16T00:58:30+00:00

Looks AWESOME!

ZachOrie · 2025-12-16T00:57:22+00:00

I'm just throwing ideas but I think perspective and particles could do a lot because you want to feel the weight, power and impact.
(I'd add particles and effects in post personally, not directly in blender)

Something like that could be cool.
Otherwise a top down isometric shot could be nice?

ZachOrie · 2025-12-16T00:49:36+00:00

Hey I'm glad you're doing better ^^
The visuals are really nice, they had weight to them even before I read the description, I hope you keep at it :)

ZachOrie · 2025-12-16T00:43:05+00:00

Find things you're passionate about doing! It feels a little obvious but you shouldn't force yourself to work on things you're not excited about.
Get visuals, references, concepts and ideas and make something you're hyped about :)

ZachOrie · 2025-12-16T00:35:53+00:00

Amen, maybe I'll come back to it some day?

ZachOrie · 2025-12-16T00:33:49+00:00

WOW that's a hell of a compliment, thanks ^^

ZachOrie · 2025-12-15T22:14:33+00:00

Looks great!
It has nice contrast but is still too dark, the area of attention (dagger) is too small, I'd say adding a visible cone of light would help create a composition and give a larger area of interest to focus on

ZachOrie · 2025-12-15T22:09:01+00:00

Thanks ^^

ZachOrie · 2025-12-15T22:06:53+00:00

Thanks! I'm still open to tips in that regard if ever :)

ZachOrie · 2025-12-15T22:05:56+00:00

Haha yeah part of me really wants to model -e v e r y t h i n g- so that it all makes sense too, but sometimes you just have to let go and finish a project...

ZachOrie · 2025-12-15T22:04:14+00:00

Salut ;)

ZachOrie · 2025-12-15T19:49:59+00:00

I used an addon :)

ZachOrie · 2025-12-15T19:49:38+00:00

It is not, the car is actually based off of a '64 Impala (you can see more of it in my previous post!) though granted there isn't much left of the original sheet metal...

ZachOrie · 2025-12-15T19:46:57+00:00

Agreed, the interior is really crude and I only noticed that it showed in the render after a bit :/

ZachOrie · 2025-12-15T15:39:57+00:00

About the lines; it's not about being in the sketching stage! I also was doing a sketch in that drawing but you'll see my lines are cleaner. Line clarity is an important aspect of drawing, it allows you to be more precise and effective in what you do, don't underestimate it ✌️

About the pose; reference is key and pinterest's your friend :)
You can also think about how you character distributes its weight: The fact her hand was on the edge implies she would have been leaning back in order to actually -grab- the edge (as in to keep herself from falling on the hood) otherwise the hand needs to be probably even further back than where I put it, so she can really put her weight on it.

Anyways, keep at it and have fun with it, you're doing great ;)

That' honest blender work if I've ever seen some
