Wooo..... new to the 3D thing but am loving it!! This site is great too... lotsa love.

Can't promise this to be a fast moving thread, but please check back as there's a few things I'm gonna snag on. I only have this render, will get wireframes up on Monday.




Maya 7 and mental ray.

it looks good for a start...wait for more

Actually started over... I did the 350Z tutorial and it helped a lot with understanding corners and the like. This mesh is much nicer to work with. One thing I am debating is whether or not to make the indent on the bottom right an actual circle or to keep it oblong... For ease's sake I'll probably leave it as is.

Having some trouble on around the tail light. Also, the canopy flat out sucks but it's been a long day so I'm gonna tackle that another day.

AWSOME, dude.continue doing that stuff, maybe with a little paint or background

[phix314]

thanks man... i think i might try to incorp some nurbs stuff. the more i read up on it the more it sounds like a good idea for the problem areas. specially around the tail light.

Hey E-

The way I see it is if I work on one thing too much it may get a little boring, so whenever I start feeling that way, I switch. That, or whenever I get stuck I'll switch. Kinda got stuck on this one so taking a little break.

peace

Looks like a Mazda 3s Sedan (Axela) from the pics. Am I correct or off base? I thought about modeling one too, straight from the owners guide since it has decent blueprints.
