Z4 Bake
Gt3 Baked
So after much baking, mucking around and tweaking the Gt3 is baked down. This is a pretty monotonous process that I don't enjoy. I tend not to get on very well with the normal map baking in max, and since in max you really need to do the high poly first and then streamline it was out of the question. So I did it in Xnormal, and although at first it was looking a bit ropey, after a bit of tweaking in photoshop and changing the flow of the mesh by turning triangles it's looking better.
Combined with Laurens Corijns' Xoliulshader, and the sexy cubemap with fresnel reflections feature, I am a happy bunny...

High Polys
Well thanks to blogger I have to post my last 3 posts again...
Here is the high poly model of the z4. I basically took the low poly models and added edge loops to all of the hard edges, this stops everything from going blobby when you add turbo smooth.
I'm pretty pleased with the results and it should prove for some tasty normal maps...

Not at that checkered flag yet...
Uv'ing for the GT3 is done, it's a good thing the two versions have many objects that are the same, otherwise I'd be here all night.
Lights, Interior (apart from reinforcement pipes), wing mirrors, handles, roof and certain body parts are still the same, so no need to unwrap them!
I'm quite pleased with my work flow and amount of hours put in recently. Even though I let slack with the car it's all under control, and I've scheduled enough time to do it. I'm not going to lie, it's going to be a solid week of work but it'll be done at the end...
