The render in Povray is also very nice.
Good luck for the rest of your work :wink:

Hi Olaf,
I'm currently modeling a car myself, but I do the job as if I was making a building or a house ... and I know that I didn't choose the best way (but I do persist :) ).

So I'm just curious to know how you work with cars yourself ?
Can you explain the very first steps, maybe with pics ?

Thanks in advance.

MMmmm I think I understand a bit better now after some searches with google ...

The image above, is a quicky done in a few minutes.

Is that the way you proceed yourself, ie edges extrusions for modeling the shape of the car ?

[nightoftheroundtable]

did you start out by using the line tool and then use the extruding feature.

Looks a bit rough, did you manually move the vertices?

PS Olaf, I've been a big fan of the XJ220 since I was eight years old :D . That model makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside, but also really anxty because the car is not street legal in the US, and costs over $700,000 to my information...
