hey hey hey, jus wanna pop in and say im still here tryna figure this out, now im actually making porgress , have become more confident in wat im doin, ive uploaded som pics, all the surfaces are nurbs the rear side panel will be redone, the only completed are is the hood so far, im now working on the diffusor and will start laying out the other areas, once im satisfied in wat ive laid out and completed ill refine in poly and finish, iam putting as much details in nurbs as i can and get as clean a surface as i can, o and i find maya more cozy for me than rhino atm lol, so working with it as u can see, c&c and thanks in advance
o and ps:- mental ray's acting like a beyatch >__> it wont render my blinn shader rite
lol@ ravenzep im not a boy, im 20 though i am confused lol, my focus right now is accuracy accuracy accuracy, i hate polys for hard surfaces, i do like them wen doing organics but def not hard surface modeling, ive been attracted to nurbs and cant go bak on that, i thank you guys for ur input and assistance i will start laying out curves in rhino today, and post scrrens of my progress, luking forward to the continued support thanks again every1
he is right, nurbs is the way to go when u guys "mimic" hard surfaces, coz polygon modeling was not at all made for shiny looking cars, u cant get a thing accurate in polygon i bet u that....it is literally due to established standards(actualy hard surface modeling tutorials by handful of brilliant individuals who told us it was possible to crease mesh smooth surfaces...n etc) that polyon modeling became a mainstream and complanies put their entire focus in improving n bringing new toolsets to poly modeling and nurbs thus being "kind of" phased out of the game...he is right about accuracy n i bet u not a single studio or dead core professional who uses cad stuff for modeling accurate in-organic "things", they all rely on "something" thats not at all "out of the box"...polygon modeling is hard and at most times it seems "senseless" but as a cg artist got to stick with it what can i say
