It's nice to read that you want to render it. I'm sure it will turn out very well.

Unfortunately I can't help you about Z->Max conversion because I'm neither Max nor Zmod user. Keep it up, your great modeling skills deserves good renders.

GREAT CHOICE OF CAR. I'm glad you didnt quit, like I believe I remember you saying after your other cars were done ( I think I remember reading that) anyhow this so far looks great. As you know or dont, big fan of the Mclaren F1 myself, modeled it 2 times now. I plan to model it again in the future since 2 is no longer to my standards

Welcome back Europacar .

Great car aswell .

[tom120934]

Great start, as already said. I like the car choice. Any chance to see renders of the Z8 ?

[Tonn]

Great to see you back with this one! Always nice to see special cars modeled to a high standard.

@IK84: your memory isn't faulty, i did say that but yeah i kinda got in the mood a little while ago. yep i see the mclaren in your sig, do you have more pictures of it? (or the other one you modeled) - i looked in your gallery but i didn't see it there
@Nik, Tonn: thanks
@tom120934: nope i never got around to really rendering it, or any of my cars for that matter. i may have to read up on some tutorials unless someone else wants to render it for me

ok a little update that took hours to do (and i'm kind of embarrassed by my wireframe - this car is already a huge poly-hog)

So far it looks like a strong structure. Very similar to how I did mine. The lines of this car make a poly structure hard to keep cleen and efficient. SO i guess thats just about the only way to do it. If you were using zmodeler2 it has a FFD tool which I found very valuable when I used it. If youve not used it what it does is you select vertics and you apply ffd and it only manipulates those vertics with a grid system. I use it constantly in max.
