Creating a Lamborghini Murcielago

This multi chapter tutorial shows in detail how to create and render a very special car, the Lamborghini Murcielago, in Realsoft3D V5. The tutorial will go through all the steps and contains over 350 pictures showing the workflow.

Some basic knowledge of using the Realsoft3D user interface, like creating and renaming objects, using the compass menu and changing views is required. If you are unfamiliar with this, please check the user manual. This tutorial covers both SDS modeling and NURBS modeling. As you will see, the basic modeling techniques we used are the same all the way. So, some parts of the tutorial show more images then text. Where things become tricky, we explain the steps more in detail.

We hope you have as much fun trying this tutorial (oh... and maybe learn a thing or two), as we had creating this!
