Porsche F1 model 2012 - Karayaone

[karayaone]

Hi there! I've been reading this forum for a while now and seeing the amazing projects posted here I decided to post here my cration too! It's my first post on this forum so be gentle!



Started modelling in 3ds max for 6 months now, and I have so much to learn!
Altough being inspired in some parts, it's all of "my" design.
Been working on it for a week. hard to make it like you want it, but i've reached an interesting outcome.
I know it will not be legal or ideal, but I tend to make my cars look beautiful too!
Anyway, I know this a pure elitist web, but I thought I could post some images for you, maybe you see something you like!!!

Well, I can post more renders If you want it, and, of course, I hope you like it!

[MIKEY_!]

Who cares if it's a bit illegal here and there when the car looks this good! By far the best finished model I have seen on this site, be proud of yourself =D> =D> =D> . What's the wheelbase?

[Ted68]

Wow! Bloody excellent. Thanks for the new background screen!

So what are you planning for your second post?

[mx_tifoso]

Great work! But I would love to see it comply with the current regulations. I really like the tall rear wings.

[MemroableC]

Only way this would be better is if the front wing was about 150mm thinner, then it would be perfect 10/10

[karayaone]

Thank you all for the replys! I'm glad you like it!! Here I'll post a few renders more for you!
First of all, I designed a DRS system which, I think, is completely illegal. But I haven't found f1 regulations anywhere (haven't searched them hardcore mode) and I don't really know. I'm pretty sure you'll give me the answer I want!
This is the controversial DRS I''m talking. I just wanted to hide the moveable flap behind the big wing, offering only 1 obstacle. Maybe it's illegal, maybe it's completely useless, but works in my mind!


A nice Top view for you


Rear view. ( I love the exhaust, altough, again, it' may be Illegal xD)


As for your reviews, I would love to make a completely legal car, but with my inexperience in 3ds max, preise measures and working with areas are still a pain for me.
And don't forget I'm not english, so I apologize for all the errors that can make you think "what the **** did he wrote?" .
Mikey, I don't understand what you mean with "wheelbase". If you mean the distance between the 2 axis, I truly don't know xD. I took a legal f1 reference for that, but I don't know if the blueprint was exact!

Nice modelling here =D>

But I think that DRS system would be illegal. If I am not mistaken, flap should open upwards opening a slot no larger than 50mm.

And if I may request, I would like to see diffuser from better angle

[JackHammer]

That car looks incredible, legal or not it's a beauty
I'd love to do something similar but my 3d modelling skills are so poor I can't even draw a simple box

[MIKEY_!]

yep wheelbase is the distance between the front and rear axles. looks shorter than the W02 which was very short but don't worry about the exact distance, I'm just interested.

[karayaone]

@ cuky I didn't have a render made of the diffuser, but I did this for you! It isn't really extraordinary. Wasn't expecting this render so I didn't pay much attention to it!
I reduced the antialiasing to shorten the duration of the render (about 30 min with this model) but you can still see the details i think.



I've been working on another 2012 f1 lately, a bit more radical, and i''ve focused more on the diffuser. I'll show you when i get it finished.

On a related topic, I've designed before 4 f1 more. those 4 are also fictional. But they are old ('75,'76,'79, '85).
Those still count as engineering projects and can be posted?
Plus, on those 4, I've made the engine too!

[MemroableC]

I preformed some highly technical analyses that relies on 2 key assumptions, firstly that the floor is at maximum width, and secondly the top down render was taken from directly on top.



I cropped the image to the width of the floor then in solid works set that to 1400mm with a locked aspect ratio. I then found the wheel center lines and gave it a measure.
Give or take a few mils.

[karayaone]

so amazing to see you find the wheelbase of my car! Thanks for the effort! I have now a number!

[MIKEY_!]

Well it certainly is short then! I'd love to see those other models if they are anywhere near as good as this one and I'm sure others would too

[Cuky]

Thanks for nice underside shot. Looks nice and clean. Great modelling mate.

[MadMatt]

Beautiful model !
