A Certain DeLorean

Description

The time machine from back to the future... fully rigged and detailed. It was hard to find good reference pics for the undercarriage of the "hover" version, so I sort of invented it :)

In anyone's interested, you can also vote on my future BlendSwap projects [here](https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.476271562460973.1073741852.345392525548878&type=1).

Enjoy!

Thanks, man :) I didn't end up using that lighting setup, btw... it worked great with those shaders, but the DeLorean doesn't have a regular paint job, you know? Thanks, though!

Serious Chris, everytime you upload something I think there is no way you can top the last model. This one is no different. I love seeing your skill progress so fast. Keep up the amazing work. It's always a treat.

C
ChrisKuhn almost 13 years ago

Thanks:) Speaking of progression... this site has been really amazing to watch over the last couple of years. When I first got started, a lot of the models (including mine) were fairly primitive. But every time I log on now, I'm amazed at the stuff people create and give away. I don't know if there's anything else quite like it. So... great work yourself, and thanks!

bigboy4006 almost 13 years ago

Well done! I've been looking for a 3D version of the hover converted De Lorean for some time now, but no one else seems to have made this except you. I'm pleased you did this, and I don't mind that you had to create your own undercarriage. I'm pretty happy you did this!

absolutely fantastic modelling. very smooth and clean. modelling of this quality certainly shows the artists passion for detail and most of all, patience

C
CoreyNW almost 13 years ago

I always wondered why the wheels have to pivot. Do they provide the thrust?

C
ChrisKuhn almost 13 years ago

I wondered the same thing:) Especially since the car lifts up prior to the wheels pivoting. And the fact that the wheels look pretty stock. No rocket boosters or anything...

M
mauricesdevaraj almost 13 years ago

Maybe to reduce drag?

F
ferretwilliams almost 13 years ago

Maybe just to look cool, heh. I can see them working as bumpers, too.

C
ChrisKuhn almost 13 years ago

Interesting, yeah. That would be an issue with hover cars :)

C
CGMario almost 10 years ago

Very Nice! Just wondering though, the wheel origin points are in the center of the vehicle. This makes rotating the wheels for anim kinda tricky. I don't want to ruin your awesome model by messing with it myself. Just figured I'd let you know.

Wow Man, you're very talented!! ¿how did you made all this details, and how long did you worked on it? simply AWESOME!

C
ChrisKuhn almost 13 years ago

Thanks:) How long did it take? Probably 120 hours, spread out over a month or so. As for how I did it... Well, nothing special. All the techniques are out there. Just takes time and patience :)

badalbishnoi almost 13 years ago

no man it is not working blender 2.67a from blender.org downloaded from there i ma using windows xp why doesnt it work

C
ChrisKuhn almost 13 years ago

It opens in Cycles by default. If your graphics card doesn't support Cycles, Blender will crash when you try to open the file. If that's the problem, then open a new Blend file with BI render and import all objects w/ SHIFT+F1. Otherwise, I don't know what to tell you. Sorry :)

Have you played nitronic rush? Fun game made only using c++ coding. Very fun. One of the cars you unluck looks exactly like this and even works the same way (including flying). I've always wondered where it came from. And this is so well done! it's amazing! :D

C
ChrisKuhn almost 13 years ago

I believe I mentioned that in my comment - Open a new Blender file, press SHIFT+F1, Then import all objects. You'll have to fix the materials if you do that, though - they're set up to work with cycles.

studiomace over 12 years ago

This is an amazing model. I wanted to play around with it in Element from Video Copilot. I found a few strange things. The passenger side rear tire exports reversed or locked in space. The passenger side rear view mirror is reversed as well. The passenger side gull wing door glass is inside instead of outside so when you view from outside the car it does not show up. These are strange things from within Element so I don't know where they originated. I thought that maybe you duplicated the door from the drivers side and placed it on the passenger side. If that were true then some of the placement for items like the glass and mirror might not have transferred correctly in space. Anyway, just an observation and by no means a negative comment. You do incredible work.

C
ChrisKuhn over 12 years ago

Thanks! You are correct, sir... I knew I'd be rigging it, and I hadn't planned on exporting to other formats. There's a lot of "clean up" work that I'd need to do prior to exporting. For example, the tire you mentioned is not rotated @ 0/0/0. It works when parented to the mech rig, but if disassociated (via export) it will jump to it's original position/rotation. Don't know why the mirror would be like that... it's not rigged. But who knows what I managed to screw up in the process :)

S
studiomace over 12 years ago

Update: After applying shaders in Element I was able to correct most of the display issues that I was fighting with. There is an advanced option in Element labeled "Draw Backface" This corrected the mirror issue and other objects that were displaying incorrectly in Element. The back tire is problematic. It will have to be corrected in Blender. The rigging is not accessible in Element, at least I can't seem to control it. I am going to investigate that further. Just thought you might want to know and let others who have this model know in case they are exporting to Element. Again, Awesome Job! Cheers!

Hey, great model there. I'm having an issue, the passenger door is like driver door and the door shuts the driver's side rather than passenger. I'm testing it out on blender 2.81.

D
drdonny over 6 years ago

I had the same issue. Select the passenger door and 'object-mirror-Z local' will fix it.

I experienced the same. Select the passenger door and from the Object menu select Mirror -> Z Global.

Hello, very nice model. Thank you sharing that we us. I have however an issue with the model. When I open it into Blender 2.8, there is an issue with the doors. Look like the same door model (left side) is used for the right and left door. Can you let me know a process to fix this issue? Thank you!

Hey. The model is soo great. After uploading it to blender both doors was looking same way. I mean it`s something to do with mirror modifier i guess? And how to remove door glass from one side? Sorry for such lame stuff asking. Hope you gonna help. Thanks again for such a dope model P.S. Sorted all issues. Thanks to comment section. Seems ur not really into replying on here although i`m gonna ask how to make that glass more transparent?Appreciate if you reply
