Nissan Z350

[fskpzns]

So this is my new project since i put Mazda RX8 on hold.

Just finish main body shape.

You should detail a part before trying to get the whole body. As you're missing a lot of edges and details on your current model, you'll have to work again on each part. This 2-pass process is really boring, trust me. It may lead to give up on the car.

Edit : by the way, the car is named 350Z and not Z350, isn't it ?

OPS for Z350 :-))))


I know that but first i make body than i work on details (chamfer etc etc).

Difference between this model and Mazda is that i now make more faces from the start. Its more precise from the beginning than Mazda. Later i will make details. Thats the way i work.... for now :-)))

All lines is aligned with car lines so its not big... or maybe is better if i say its not HARD work, adding details later (like sharpening edges or cutting etc etc.)

PS: And i must say that this model is much more cleaner than Mazda in same phase/stage of work.

So have a break and go hunting again in a couple of days

Nice update, yes you have some bumps and pinches. But I wait for you fixing them.

Need help guys !

I think I can't help you now with a definitive solution. I'm facing almost the same problem with my current WIP. Stay tuned, I'll post hints as soon as I find some

OK m8. I have 2-3 same spots on my car. Unexplained errors.

Its quite simpel to say whats wrong with it, fix it is harder.

The problem is that the big poly to the left is 5 sided, and to big to make it smooth out right. The way i can think of to fix it is to make a bigger chamefer before u delete the "hole area" so the poly gets smaller and u can make another chamfer when you cut out the hole. Not sure if it works but always try to stay to 4 side polys.

Good work btw

EDIT; make sure not to mess up the body shape when you do a chamfer before you make the hole

I think your problem is caused because the poly near the corner is large and not parallel to corner and its a 5-gon.I dont know the rest of your wire so i just based a solution on the wire you showed.That might work or might not.Trial and error.
Green edges : Move them to red.Or just delete them then draw red lines
Red lines : Explained above.
I know the source of Tom's problem aswell.The thing is some programs like 3dsmax and blender dont enjoy smoothing a "corner that ends as a triangle".I faced the same problem with my Murcielago on lots of corners,since that car has very difficult-to-model edges but fixing based on that idea worked for me and for some else modelers.
