My Concept

[PrinCe_Of_DarKness]

i was sitting in school when i started to just sketch this car... i was planning on just using photoshop to render it but i thought i would try to model it in 3D, its my first real attempt, Tell me what you think... (Im a complete NOOB at 3D Studio)

Good start, but imo the wheel arches are too tall wheels would have to be massive to fill top to bottom, have done a quick mark up on your image.
Something simular to this may help get the lines right.

[PrinCe_Of_DarKness]

i get what you mean i'll fix it now

[PrinCe_Of_DarKness]

i dont know why but its going strange when smooth it, its only a bit in the picture though

[marty-bett]

probably because u dont have many edges? lower the auto-smooth and put different parts into different smoothing groups aswel.

If you can do a screen dump of the wires we can help you a lot more.
I would say the sam e as Marty on why it is going pear shaped.

[PrinCe_Of_DarKness]

what do you mean by Screen dump? (Sorry for my noobness)

you need to capture the screen before you put the mesh smooth to it.
Here is a screen capture for an example.

here is a free prog to do screen captures with, install and look under options for screen capture.
IrfanView - Official Homepage - one of the most popular viewers worldwide

hope this helps

this is the Wire render, without Symmetry and smooth

Side view

here is a quick fix for a start, delete the pink lines add the blue lines.
none are to join as a triangle or 5 points.
hope this helps

I shall give it a go for you, you will get it, just hang for awhile till I get this up on my machine mate

Prince, your file will not open, what vers of max are you using ?

[PrinCe_Of_DarKness]

im using Max 9, should i change the format to 3ds or something?

[feral1]

Prince, your file will not open, what vers of max are you using ?

done a quick fender for you, if you make the fender bonnet door etc seperate, you can place them on their own layers if need to.

but you can see my wires, on the fender compared to yours, this will help you I hope mate.

going to crash shall catch ya tomorrow night if you need more help

PS I am using max 8

[PrinCe_Of_DarKness]

so you started it again and your saying it should be done with layers? is it possible to seperate my current one or should i start all over again, i have no problem with either, tell me when you get the time.Thanks for your help

[feral1]

it would be easier for a noob to start again, you do not need to do all in layers, but if you do each panel seperate, it will make it easier for you to concentrate on one part at a time.

[PrinCe_Of_DarKness]

well i started it again... im trying to stick with the fender design that i did on the drawing but heres a screen dump of what it looks like (C&C allowed)
