hi guys I'm Anthony and I'm based in the UK - I picked up my skyline R33gtst in January of this year after making a computer animation featuring two of my fave cars and then deciding I couldn't wait any longer hah!

The project was a 5month task I set myself to make a 1minute intro a bit like the need-for-speed-underground stuff. I modelled up two of my fave cars the R34 and the sierra cosworth RS500 which took about 6-8weeks each (first time car modelling in 3d), I then animated them racing round a cityscape and drifting on a long road and then composited the animation and made it look wet n rainy. I also did the sound although I pinched some from need for speed hehehe!

Now we all know the GTR would decimate the cossie (and whether it would or wouldn't we'll say it will cos we own skylines hehehehe ..not biased guv!) but see what you think - comments welcome....

So you are the creator? I have seen this on a number of UK forums and a couple of the main Ford ones there. Well done. As far as I remember from the postings on the forums no credit was given, just that "someone" had done them.

hi guys thanks for the comments - yeah I'm the creator of the animation hehe

thought I'd post it up here as I didn't know if it had been seen over there but apparently its done

the rounds worldwide it would seem hehe :laugh: god bless the internet

the animation was done using alias/autodesk maya and took about 5-6months total but that included modelling, animation, rendering and compositing. I got inspired off all the need for speed intros and thought i'd have a shot myself really as work wasn't really providing me any kind of challenge!

I could have done it quicker if working on it full time but i only had evenings and a coupla wkends to dedicate.

I reckon I could do it a heap load better too seeing as later versions of software have all these clever render layer tools and advanced

rendering tricks hehe!

it was a fun project to do tho and I would love to do another for a vid game or something :cool:

glad you all like tho :laugh:

I aint got a copy in the office at present to upload I'm afraid but if anyone can download it and get a copy up on utube that'd be cool :happy:

savefile is a bit kooky from time to time - its very on and off but it does download :(

Out of interest what did you use to create the car.. did you get a someone to give you a laser print of the car (or whatever they do) or did you do it by hand??..

Looks amazing.. I've done some 3D Studio Max rendering and it's not the easiest to get such amazing detail on the cars

hi links

I did the animation using profile images - the kind you find on th side of airfix car model boxes hehe. These can be found on sites like www.suurland.com That and a heap of reference images from other sites like gtroc.co.uk and skylineowners.com :laugh: other than that they were manually modelled. I reckon I could have put more detail in (full interior etc...) but I'll save that for another project :O

    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
