Very fast render with just around 1000 s/px... I hope that it will be on line before the dead line !
Not enough time to build a decor...
I have removed my place holder, and so I type here the comment again :
This is the Plymouth Fury 1977. this car has been the prefered police patrol car for years in many states in USA (with the Dodge Monaco which is almost the same car), and the most seen in TV series (Chips, Hooker...). Movie studios have wrecked hundreds of them !
It has been modelled for the competition. I had done a very rough low poly model in the past, and I had the urge to rebuild it one day. This competition withdrawed the idea from the ceiling !
Modelling vintage cars is not easy, because of the lack of documentation. There are many photos available, but no blueprints, and acurate dimensions are difficult to find. As many cars shown on photos have been rebuilt, there are also often errors or differences with the original models. This said, I love american cars of years 55 to 80 !
I made the sign "Blenderville Police 237" on the side of the car a long time ago for my police chase sequence. In this time Blender latest version was 2.37 !
