New here

I am new here and starting to learn Maya on my own.

I been using Maya for about 2 months now and learned a lot of the basic and how to do small animation.

I want to start learning the basic on how to model a vehicle because i see some really cool ones here.

Any tips where to start and what is the best tool to use to modeling one?

I also know how to set up blue prints already.

There is a tutorial on Cgtalk, search up 350z Maya tutorial, its a very good tut for beginners to maya.

Thanks, I will try and follow that tutorial.

Is there an easy car I should start out with?

[designxch]

there many ways to model a car:

you can use polygons, extruding edges and faces then convert to subdivs to get more resolution and softness. other way is to use nurbs, making lofts and projecting curves on surfaces. etc.

Maya has many tolls to model, just try them and choose the better for you

you can start by doing the maya help tutorials, to understand what tools it has ans how to use them.
