Honda CRX project..New modeler

[xjamesx]

Well this is my first ever car model so I thought I'd share with you. I have been reading this site for a bit but never contributed anything....I am useing cinema 4D..maybe not the best program for this but I am going to be learning this program in school so I figured I'd start the learning with this... here it is, the start of the hood spline cage.

from this


to these
Got the hood pretty much laid out... will update regularly

Nope your software is just fine! Its not the software that makes your models kickass its the user

It seems like a good start to be, but will you be using the spline cage as reference or will the model be in splines?

[xjamesx]

I'm going to use it as a reference.. I'm following this tutorial...

3D ATTACK - Car Tutorial : Opel Astra DTM

If anyone has any other tutorials or tips just let me know..
Thanks

really nice splines keep going.

most people find the A3 tutorial on 3d-Palace very helpful as it is a free video tutorial... not the best modelling technique IMO but still get the same result..

[xjamesx]

Oh cool site..thanks for the link I'll check out that tutorial. I'm new to this kind of modeling but I have experience in autocad, inventor and solidedge. I like it so far..

I think you should finish your cage and then post because there isnt really anything complicated in drawing lines and people will get board fast.

just membaed that that tutorial is for 3ds max.. i guess u can prob follow it but not exactly

[xjamesx]

Finished the hood and started the fenders.. Its taken a little bit but ti's getting there.
