From a single picture, and almost no previous knowledge of 3d modeling:  Some people have taken the piss out of me for this, why eh? WHY? :P Lemme know what y'all think. |

| Its not bad, but does sort of look like you did a 2d spline in the shape of the car body, then extrude. The texture job could do with some work (around the wheels). But for a first time model it is "not bad" :) |

| (From a single picture, and almost no previous knowledge of 3d modeling:) Good start :D dave |
| ||
| "but does sort of look like you did a 2d spline in the shape of the car body, then extrude" Hehe, yes, i kinda had to, i only had one picture of the car :) im glad i got it textured, and the texture problem around the wheel keeps returning for some odd reason! |
| ||
| nice one. looks like a lamborghini countache. Now go and find some topdown pictures for the textures, the web is big :) |
| ||
| its a prism,though. Brilliant prism at that. The textures are applied really well i think |
| ||
| Good start man, i suggest you mess around with that model until you make it perfect. Thats how i learned a lot, you will too. Just mess around and read tutorials. |
| ||
| try not extruding just once, but maybe 5 or 6 times - that way you can change the shape of the car towards the center, making the front stick out more, the roof slightly higher, etc... looks good though! |
| ||
| It reminds me of that car Homer designed in an episode of The Simpsons (the one that sent his brother's car company bankrupt). :) In fact:  |

| "try not extruding just once, but maybe 5 or 6 times - that way you can change the shape of the car towards the center, making the front stick out more, the roof slightly higher, etc... looks good though! " hmmm! didnt even think of that, extrude.. ya know, i think im gona go redo this one! or at least, mod it a bit more.... @GfK: yes, yes it does.... D'OH! ive also got a horrid problem with some zordering and a plane i threw in to make the in car view realistic >.< @aab: Thanks, im realy chuffed with my texturing, even more chuffed at my transparent windows! ^.^ |
| ||
| yeah m8 keep at this. these two were my first cars as well. and I used the same method, I splined the outline of the middle of the car, then extruded a few times to the left and right to give me something to work with.   |
| ||
| How can you not extrude? I guess all my accomplishments were pathetic compared to these. The only way I can create a car is to draw a 2D poly and extrude. Is there anyone that can help me with my problem? And I can't figure out at all how to create those weird texture maps. HOW DO YOU PEOPLE GET THIS ALL ALIGNED?!?!?! You 3D artists are weird, man..... |
| ||
| hmm. im a 'texture?' person myself |
| ||
| And I can't figure out at all how to create those weird texture maps. HOW DO YOU PEOPLE GET THIS ALL ALIGNED?!?!?! In truespace, I use U/V Cow U/V Cow tutorial |
| ||
| Give yourself time and keep at it. You got a good start and that counts for a lot. |
| ||
| im going back into it later on and designing a car i have multiple views of! i need to, i have a car engine to model for (save myself £100s) Cheers for your comments :D |
| ||
| A whole new world awaits you. I now spend my time looking at stuff and working out how I could model it. My girlfriend regualrly asks why I`m looking at here stangly. I now see polygons everywhere. |
| ||
| lol @ nick. Damn my servers down atm, so the pics arent working (werent working) as of this post... Il post back when im done with car v2. |
| ||
| why not make it from a box, (much easierIMHO) Define the form roughly with a box, cut in to it to get the shapes you want But yeah, nice work yavin |
| ||
| I think it is a good start:) This is my very first model,i am also total new to modeling,i made it in GameSpace Light(this week), from 3 digital shots of my old Mazda 323F(Astina) Hehe it allmost looks like a car Henrik  |
| ||
| @Cygenus: I would add more detail to the texture. |
| ||
| o.O i would, only i didnt make the texture- its the same pic i built the car from :P @ruz Box modeling didnt do good for me- i have to have something there to start with- ie a background picture. If i dont have that, i cant work, cuz i dont have a good mind for images and stuff :( |
