Car Tutorial Part 14 – Exhaust Tips

Ed Ferguson, CascadiaDesignStudio.com

In rear view draw a 1.4” radius circle for the exhaust. Also draw a 1” radius circle centered.



Make two copies of the large circle and one copy of the small circle. In side view arrange them as shown.



Select the circles in the order shown and Loft with Style = Loose and Cap Ends. The result is one exhaust tip.



Select the exhaust tip and perform Array Dir to duplicate and space apart. Finally, select the face of each tip and assign a unique Style so we can make them black in the render program.



We could model an exhaust opening and add fins to the fascia, but that’s level of detail beyond where I want to go with this model. So instead I added a bump map to the fascia material in my render program to create some texture features. Again, using bump maps for smaller details allows flexibility for experimentation in the render program.
