You shouldn't have to worry about dead on accuracy then, I know the difficultly of modeling to dimensions in Maya (using the grid and also the attribute panel/channel box and that other one?). Anywhere where you're talking about fine grooves, or bumps, z-brush will help you enormously.Īh, Maya, I thought so from the looks of the model. What you might want to do is an export of your current model, and then edit in z-brush (or something similar) to get really fine detail into the model. To be honest, the last approach there is pretty much pointless – all it'll do is shift your body work around a little, and not really get you any more visual quality than you already have. If there too many bugs I just crank up the subdivisions and load up a 2 million poly mesh. In the end I can convert (fairly well, somehow - magic?) to nurbs and export as something one of the engineering programs can read. Also it's actually useful for making pretty pictures (yes, some irony there I'm aware of). The main avantages are speed, previously I used Solidworks and autoCAD mostly, but this is (not kidding) a hundred billion times faster, at least. Yeah, usually used for games and movies and what not, but since I'm not machining parts (solidworks, pro-e, other Autodesk products are a billion times better) I can get away with poly modeling for now. At least there's no huge issue of car versioning to worry too much about!Īlso, how on earth does one go about getting photos of unraced Formula 1 cars?įor software, I'm using Autodesk Maya. The specific part I'm looking for is all of them. I took a bunch when I was at the factory earlier this year. Tomba wrote:Any parts in particular you need pictures of? The eventual plan is to use it like Pirelli uses theirs, to try things out. It's been wonkified, smoothed, and rounded for easier unwrapping now, and I'll clean it up, referencing some new pictures I've found of the rear wing underside and diffuser and other things. That said, I'm still looking for pictures, and the model is by no means done.
Toyota leaving meant that there were a bunch of pictures in mags and the internet news, and good quality ones too. Reference images weren't that hard to find for most parts. Knowing what bits can go where helped with aligning the images. Yes, I used the regulations to set up the references with wheel dimensions, maximum height, and boxes for the wings, etc. The OP doesnt know wing profiles, and judging by the (poor quality) reference images, I doubt measurements are within a centremetre, probably closer to 5 as Wes said.Ĭredit where credit is due, the OP has done a fantastic job, it looks great.
I doubt any CFD would give anywhere near 'true to life' results. Tozza Mazza wrote:Did you use the technical regulations to aid with the design work?
