Let start with the latest one I have been working on, the Prost AP02 car from
the 1999 season.
There are lots of cars from that season that I would guess I would choose to make before this one, but here you go. It is not pretty, I have now been staring at it for some time and I can't longer say it
is ugly either. It is an intriguing little car that's what it is, a very unique car, and very challenging to recreate accurately.
The car is still in the early modeling stage, I did manage to find some useful images of the cockpit dashboard, and other similar details that will help in finishing this car.
Next in line is the beautiful Williams Fw21 car also from the 1999 season. I
did modeling on this one simultaneously with Mp4-14. This is actually the car that got me into making 1999 cars. After watching a Youtube clip of 1999
Nurburgring race. Williams stood out from the field in how short the cars seemed. I never liked its livery before but that pointy nose, high diffuser,
and sheer aggressive look of the cars made me want to recreate it.
The car is almost completely UV mapped. Same as for the Prost AP02 I did eventually find few images of the cockpit interior, which is completely reworked and hopefully much more accurate than the one before.
For these cars, I decided not to create engine or any parts hidden undercover but instead add more details on visible parts. My hope is that in that way keep poly count relatively low but still have a high detailed final product.
Superb work again Vladimir! Have been looking forward on a high detailed Williams Fw21 model foe many years. Really looking forward to see these 1999 models finished in the future.
SvaraRaderaGreat work my friend, I always thought about using the two F1 2013 cars as a base to create my own. Asr have just released their ferrari for AC. The Prost ap02 was one of the longest cars from the refuelling era, with its distinctive side pods that gave inspiration to my first fantasy car. Look forward to playing with these beauties.
SvaraRaderaThank you guys.@fongu I say go for it, your take on these cars would be interesting. It seems we have very similar taste when it comes to picking cars to model. I wouldn't mind at all if you modeled same cars, on contrary. Besides my Fw21 is based on early season unlike Codemasters one. I also did much better job on nose cone and cockpit interior ;-)
SvaraRaderaIf I fancy a side project, I would like the Stewart or Minardi, but at the moment I am fully busy with the 1994 grid. What is your poly count?
