BUICK REGAL SPORTBACK
A 3D Model of a Buick Regal Sportback. A continuation of my journey in using Blender.
My second 3D modeling project focuses on the 2018 Buick Regal Sportback. I took a different approach by modeling each body panel separately—a technique that I soon learned wasn't ideal for keeping good mesh topology and flow. Still, it was a great learning experience and I decided to push forward the best I could.
The use of blueprints, reference images, and access to a physical vehicle ensured the accuracy of the my model's details.
Personal Project
2018 – 2020
Renders created February 2021
Techniques that I learned from my Ferrari 308 QV project transferred over to the Regal. Fine details like the texturing for light lenses and tire sidewall were achieved by using bump maps that I created in Adobe Illustrator.
I also made masks to use in conjunction with Blender shaders to create the markings for the side mirror and windows, glass frit, and the defroster lines.
