MERCEDES BENZ 300SL GULWING
AUTODESK ALIAS POLYGONAL MODEL
THIS PROJECT CONSISTS OF A 3D MODEL OF A VEHICLE OF THE GERMAN TRADEMARK MERCEDES-BENZ; SPECIFICALLY KNOWN AS THE 1954 300 SL GULLWING. THIS PROJECT IS NOT SPONSORED BY THE BRAND AND IS COMPLETELY A PERSONAL PRACTICE OF THE USE OF THE POLYGONAL MODELING SOFTWARE. THIS POLYGONAL MODEL WAS MADE IN ITS ENTIRETY BY ME AND WAS COMPLETELY MADE WITH THE SOFTWARE FROM AUTODESK, ALIAS SUBDIVISION.
SUB-D POLYGONAL MODELLING
AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE NEXT IMAGES, MOST OF THE ELEMENTS OF THE CAR WERE MADE WITH ALIAS SUB-D. THE MAIN VOLUME AND THE MAIN DETAILS THAT SHAPE AND GIVE THE CAR ITS UNIQUE DESIGN, WERE MADE WITH POLYGONAL MODELLING.
EVEN THE SMALLEST DETAILS WERE MADE IN SUB-D, BECAUSE OF THE PRECISION, QUALITY AND TIME, THIS POLYGONAL MODELLING GIVES TO THE USER.
DETAILS, LIKE THE RIMS AND PARTS OF THE “FAKE” INTERIOR. WERE MADE WITH NURBS. ALSO LOGOS AND BADGES WERE MADE THIS WAY. BECAUSE OF THE MORE PRECISE WORK NEEDED TO BUILD THEM.
