Rep Power: 0  | My first car... what method shall i use? Heya, I'm going to start my first (proper) car model in 3DSMax and i would like to know what method i should use to create it. I've tried nurbs modelling an Audi TT but i couldn't get the fender / side of the front to look right . I had a small go at box modelling but i got massive problems when i chamfered some edges and then tried to mesh smooth.. So i was wondering what method you people think i should use to create a very high quality car render? I'd appreciate links to tutorials on the methods you suggest *Also* Any suggestion for a car i can model that isn't too complicated.. but is modern and sleek? Regards, Rob. |

Rep Power: 0 | Cool thank you :) Is it possible to mix and match techniques? For example i have the hood (bonnet) of my Audi TT made well in Nurbs.. but i can't get the side panel and fender to become smooth (always has a big crease in it).. so is it possible to make a seamless panel with Nurbs and Poly Modeling? Regards, Rob. |

Rep Power: 5   | honestly, kinda hard. yes, you can, but you have to convert the nurbs to poly first. you'd better stick with poly or nurbs for the body and other seamless / continuous surfaces. not both. |
