Hey, not a bad start. Something I found that helps it trying to work with a brick shape and mold out your creation from that. Takes a bit of time, but I've found some success from it. Mind you , I havenot done alot of modeling.. in fact very little. Programmer's modeling

Nah, it looks like a Mercedes SLK if I'm not mistaken. The front plan view of the car gives it away.

[Here] is a forum thread that describes the work-in-progress for [this] brilliant 3D model of a racing Honda NSX. The forum thread is full of great hints and tips for modelling a car.

Hey, thats coming along really well. I work with Lightwave, and have created hundreds of models, but never a car. I like to make Robots and organic, animal like things. Keep us all posted on how it turns out.

Tux, the model looks very nice, but I am not keen on the pastel colours .

Hey tux some nice improvements. Are you learning from a tutorial? Maybe you can add it to the PGD Library or maybe write your own on the techniques you've learned?

[size=9px]Hmm... I think maybe a solid color might be easier for you to 'see' your object. grey on grey won't bring out the shape as nicely for your eyes as a solid blue, red or green.[/size]

got the back going now

no im not learning from a tutorial i did follow 2 tutorials and im improvising on this, i dont know enough to write an article (only been modeling 3 days)
