Ferrari 458 Italia
An older model I made during school that I decided to revamp and polish a bit. This is probably the oldest piece I have on Artstation and some of the modelling decisions show, but I'm happy with how it turned out. I went with the squeaky clean showroom look for the sake of the projects brevity, but I would like to do a few variations with rain and mud (A muddy Ferrari! The Horror!)
The revamped rims exposed a lot of the smoke and mirrors of the model, so a lot more suspension elements needed modeling.
The 458 is probably my favorite silhouette that Ferrari has ever designed. Such as pretty car to work with. A little lens flare action because it's not a subtle car. =)
This project is so old that this scene is rendered in Mental Ray. Oh how times have changed.
Revamping the mesh from this older version included following the stock rim design and fixing a few edge flow issues.
The mesh grills were also ditched in favor of a much simpler material based solution.
