Lamborghini Gallardo

[Flames]

Hey all; I have started a new project; namely a lamborghini gallardo!!

I love this car; so I thought I should start it!
Ok I am modelling this car for fun and to learn (and churn out soem nice wallpapers hehe) so I am not really going for 100% accuracy!!!
All comments are welcome; but please dont pick out tiny details; only if something looks dead wrong as I am only modelling this car for fun and for learning purposes!!!

most of us also have such things happening :wink:

your start of the car looks okay, but you need to sharpen up some edges before smoothing.
if i remember correctly you're using maya, so i can give you some advice on sharpening up edges with it. the default Bevel tool is absolute ****, so don't even try using it (its the closest thing we have to Max's chamfer tool, but its not that well done). what i do recommend is grabbing the bevel tool from Byron's Poly Tools. it works really well, and its free to d/l.
Download the version you need here http://sebastian-thiel.bei.t-online.de/
(documentation can be found in the subfolders).
now you can add small rows of polies to help sharpen edges when you smooth.

What i would recommend even more is converting to Sub-D's, because you can do fun things like adding partial creases to sharpen up edges.

just to make it loud and clear

yes; maya 6 mate

thanks for the idea about the bevel tool; it's well good; as I am a beginner; I do most of my crap by hand; for example i create extra polies on places that need betetr definition in smoothing; although i didnt realise this technique when i was working on my headlights; i'll fix it when i am bothered lol!

i'll download the tool and see what i can do; if not i'll post here for help; thanks again m8!
