Cars Toyota AE86

Wish i still had mine to provide you with whatever pictures you'd need

 

[Kyuubeey]

Yeah, it will be somewhat challenging to get the interior accurate with no measurements and specific pics. But there is enough to do it.

 

[Kyuubeey]

Hatch progress.

I think any proportional issue is more the hatch and the initial curve into the hatch than anything under it, so I'm working that. There will absolutely be some inaccuracy but as long as it looks mostly right and is not super off, I will allow it. Eventually I must move on. I think later I'll also model very barebones frame under the lights area, when I start adding depth to the frame before the interior. It might assist in placing the rear compartment floor.

 

[Kyuubeey]

More hatch area. Annoying job of reshaping the rear quarter is ahead. Later.

 

[Kyuubeey]

More detail, a bit better shape. I found I wasn't able to make it right without adding that detail as a reference point, so I must. Just beginner modeler things.

 

[Kyuubeey]

Not much, but it's what I had courage for tonight. Improving mirror form a bit.

Probably will speed up again once all my physics are up to date.

you could use sites for which import japanese cars because pretty much always there are interior shots, like this site for example https://carfromjapan.com/cheap-used-toyota-for-sale?keywords=ae86&sort=-createdAt&maxYear=1987

Good idea, thanks!

And in case you need these...

 

[Kyuubeey]

It's not much, but it's more than the "nothing" I was expecting to do today. Between updating the 86's physics itself and making other cars which take precedence over this alongside any AC-unrelated projects, I can't find too much motivation to continue right now.

Mirrors are quite difficult for me, and the interior is what I'm really waiting for, so maybe I will wrap up the exterior frame, forget the mirrors for now and start the interior.

 

[Kyuubeey]

Ain't much, but I gotta figure it out some time. There's additional paneling on the rear of the 86, above the frame, which blends in well to the metal bodywork, and is pushed out a bit with a bit smoother edges so it'll change the geometry.

I'll model that in too so the dimensions make sense, if I merge it later with the body, I don't know.

There is a quite pronounced gap where it joins, so perhaps I will need to work on that a bit later. I think it's largely part of the metal frame itself.

I'm not gonna use too many sessions anymore on the exterior frame; my skills aren't enough to get it all perfect, not yet. I just want it to be reasonable that it doesn't immediately stick out as off.

 

[Kyuubeey]

One of the last things I want to figure out before I start adding thickness to the chassis and move on to the interior. We will see if it spells my doom.

 

[Kyuubeey]

Can't be arsed to finish it so it stays here for now. Using some EUDM Corolla GT pics as reference mainly. From what I can tell it's the same as JDM Zenki Levin. If it's not I will ****ing scream.

 

[Kyuubeey]

I think right now this is the only way this car can progress. Little micro bites every day. No energy or time for big 12h modeling sprees. This is better than no progress.

On the 106, I spent like a month straight just modeling interior all day, so we see if it happens for this too.

 

[Kyuubeey]

Gonna do same treatment here as in the rear, except the sill itself will be more detailed in case I want openable doors. Anyway, I need to model it out to get the proportions right.

 

[Kyuubeey]

Don't feel too comfortable adding much more detail at this point. It's enough to show where things are and I can easily adjust dimensions. Next time, probably onto the floor frame.

 

[Kyuubeey]

Had to change the form a bit because there's some extra detail which I think right now is not needed, and perhaps might not be needed at all once the rubber goes ontop.

 

[Ben O'Bro]

Slowly reaching the interior

 

[Kyuubeey]

Slowly reaching the interior

Yep, that's the intention.

And I JUST NOW realized one part I had modeled before was right and I made it wrong due to not looking at my other refs too. Time to essentially revert back.

 

[Kyuubeey]

Gross simplification and some forms merged together smoothly, but I think with rubber ontop it will be acceptable. Anyway, I don't want to use 20k tris here to get it truly accurate. I did something similar in the rear window, simplifying a lot of the form but making the overall shape more or less right.

It's a bit above my paygrade to model stuff like this accurately, especially without tracing over that one chassis scan.
