I really have no clue about car's, lol. I just want to learn how to model them. So here's my WiP images so far.

You do a far better job with cars than I ever could, R4ptor .... 3D and I don\'t play well together /bigwink.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\';)\' /> here Tibs, I attached the image so you can see it. [attachment=2228:attachment]

Ow thanks Tami.

Raptor care to share a wireframe? I could help you out more with that.

Wireframe makes it look nasty... lol, Here you go anyway.

Cinema 4D, might try and get a copy of Maya just to check it out..

Could you give a wireframe without hypernurbs activated? kinda hard to get a good look at it right now

Oops, sure thing. Here it is.

Well looking at the polyflow of your model you probably don\'t really know how to put your polygons to get a good result?

The goal you will try to achieve when modelling is to need the lowest amount of polygons possible. This will make sure your model slooks good and will make it easy to adjust when you notice a few bumps. As an example I will add my old car model as an example, but don\'t be fooled. My model has mistakes in it aswell, it is a low poly model and was made with the intention to learn about \"polyflow\" ( the way you distribute polygons ) I hope it helps you and I am looking forward to seeing an update.

PS.: This was in no way ment to insult you ( if you would feel insulted ) I am trying to give you some advice on how to improve your basic modelling skills.

You are apparently doing way better than I as I can\'t get past the hood of the car when I try to model a car. Good job, just fix those poly\'s up!

Yeah, I must admit I do need alot more practice with placing poly's... I think I might start over.. Mainly because I'm not happy with it so far.. and it seems like a waste of time to continue doing it... I don't know.. Probably will just finish it and start a different car.
