I refined the battery materials a little more as well as the lighting.

Finally figured out UV mapping, and layered material creation in Modo. Really confusing paradigm compared to programs like Maxwell. There is a wierd hierarchy that is somewhat like Photoshop, but a lot more confusing for texture creation. Rendering a turntable tonight. Will proceed to do an exploded animation after that- at least the top coming off to show the circuit board.

Modo Test Render, and as you can see youtube is not really the place for a smooth repeating loop. I will need to add a few more cycles to this loop and then upload. Edit- Oddly watching in HD seems a little smoother.




A while back Citroen ran a competition where they uploaded CAD files of production vehicles and concepts for people to reconfigure and re-arrange. I started assembling some of these components together back into something pretty informative that gives you a nice feel for Class A surfaces and how they are put together. It would be interesting to hear some of the reasoning for these patch layouts, but you can learn a lot simply by untrimming some of these surfaces. Files here
