Back at it!
I've created the front in line with my initial Grease Pencil sketch.
Also - modelled the trunk lid mechanism. Maybe that's unnecessary, but it makes the model more practical in my view :)
I think I'll try to model the suspension too.
I've been working offline today, so here's an update!
Added detail to the body, the roof - created proper topology for the sunroof (I'm proud of myself!) - more detail inside and on the places the door fit.
If you're a car engineer - you're gonna cringe...
I've also shifted the door line forward so they aren't as long as before - seemed awkward. I also disabled the tyre-squishing Lattice modifiers as in a game that'd have to be done dynamically (if at all), or it'd look super weird. had fun implementing that though :)
Some minor changes in the trunk area to compensate for rear wheel cavities. I'm starting to see the end of the lowpoly phase!
pipes. Bolted to the body, welded to the pipe. We'll see how it'll go.
Also - made a new rocket launcher!
Well, that's it for today!
I've fixed the rocket launcher support rig inside of the car's cabin (fell apart a bit after the change I made to the roof).
I'm thinking about removing the machine gun, because driving on a desert without a windshield would be quite harsh. I'm thinking about maybe making it remotely aimable or just side-mounted and completely stationary. if you have any ideas - let me know :)

Battle Car Game Model (Blender 2.80) Portfolio WIP 2019-09-14
I've got an idea - I've missed these exhaust dampeners (?). Also: improved the exhaust pipe side mount. It looked too weedy before.
I'm playing FlatOut 2 while making this, so I'm seeing what breaks off when you hit cars against each other too much...
This time I'm *really* done for today.
Good night!
I've fixed inconsistent normals, I've set smooth shading and refined it with shading, will now proceed to UV unwrap the whole model...
I need to decide how many separate texture paces to use and how to divide it all...
Well, had to break the lowpoly freeze - to refine just the gear handle and the handbrake handle a bit...
I'v also detailed the seats. a bit. The car has a very low profile - the seats are very low above the floor, yet there's not much headroom - that's gotta stay like that, because altering it now would break too many things...
And also - no one noticed :D
Now I'm going to start the UV unwrapping process...
Now it's time to group the meshes into materials and lay them out in shared textures spaces,- effectively deciding on the final texel density of each part.

I've published the model to Sketchfab!
I'll update it once the materials and textures are ready.

Tweaked the flange materials. I think it's looking a bit better. Gotta weather the tyre now, maybe add some sand, dust, dirt, catpiss...
Check this out - this is the highpoly front wheel textured.
Today I went on a bike raid fro textures with a fellow 3D artistst - I used rusty metal, sand, dirt and other pictures here to build the materials and add small detail. It's amazing how much more life these give - I was doing all of that with procedural noise before, and reaching such richness was very difficult.
I'll need to bake this to lowpoly now...
