Hi everyone!

So I thought i should start a project finally. Im pretty new to car modelling and also pretty noob in 3D modelling so try to bare me The reason why i started this thread was to get some help and some good advice and opinions, so that i can become better

I have started this from the beginning three times already (didn't like the way it went and i want to do this right ) offcourse i didn't get very far these times so don't worry

The first problem i have is with the blueprints, I think i got them all the same size and aligned but still i can't get the polys to match every picture :/





edit. btw its a bit misleading that the front view is actually back but don't let that bother you

[speyburn]

obliviously i haven't done the lover part of that yet, thats why thats all weird but im talking about the upper part

[speyburn]

Made a little progress, didn't want to go too far before i hear some comments Tell me what you think? Theres one error on wireframe where i get 5 edges connected to a single poly, makes a little bumb Needs a little tweaking...

There really isn't much to say about it yet since you're just starting. The wheelarch shouldn't be as defined at the bottom http://bmwbox.com/wp-content/uploads...2/100_0080.jpg (hope you get what I'm talking about), other then that keep it up.

Thanks Yeah i got what you mean, it should be less "out" on the lower part

Again some little progress Had my birthday on friday so been kinda busy weekend

Can you tell me what causes that the surface ain't totally even here? It has these waves of some sort, if you get what i mean


Here is a another pic, what do you think of the wireframe?

[KnoopA]

You should post unsmoothed wires.

[speyburn]

As requested


Hopefully i'll have enough time today so that I can finish the hood, atleast almost

And thanks KnoopA for showing some interest to the thread

[KnoopA]

You should start off with less polygons untill you've got a clean base mesh, then you can add more to get the details in. This way it'll be easier to get a smooth mesh.

It's also a good idea to look at these wires http://cg-cars.com/showthread.php/4666-Bmw-E46-Csl

[speyburn]

Okay, thanks And yeah, I'll have to look in to those even more, I have looked them a bit already

[speyburn]

Tried to make the mesh bit more simple and cleaner. Slowly but shurely i guess...
