@ BuDWiZe: thanks and wireframes are below the update
@ FlashG: thanks
@ NE: haha well actually i haven't welded any verts together most of them just overlap that's why it's not really noticeable
and thanks for the compliment

small update:

cheers mate. This has already helped me with some problems i had

You wouldnt also happen to have the non smoothed wireframe pic

Since he models with Zmodeler, that is the non-smoothed (no mesh-smooth in Zmod). He's just plain crazy to model with that dense of a wire 8o
Looks pretty smooth, though. Nice work EC

[BuDWiZe]

ah thanks F50

i think ive worked out my prob looking at his dense polys anyways now

Hehe that's alot of polies you got there I just wonder how you can control all those vertices and have such a nice smooth mesh

Hi EC
thanks for posting wireframe pics and those flat shaded ones (or aren't they... hmm maybe it looks flat shaded because you are using so many polys )

i'm currently using the 2.0.0.6 version of zmodeler and my model is generally quad based so it looks a little 'cleaner' although it probably isn't really cleaner *doh*

what kind of tools are you using? do you make a strip of a polyline and then modify it? or do you make a whole grid? to me it seems that you aremaking a grid and then maybe attaching it to the rest of the mesh, because the single rows look very straight if you ask me (merely thinking out loud :?)

i'm very curious about the materials you are using. would you mind sharing the specifications vor the body mat e.g.?

ZM modelers who model with planes are just plain crazy.. :roll:
Strip is the best tool there is Perhaps ZM2 uses a different approuch though, I don't know that..

thanks guys
@ Silent: yeah i do each poly by hand as NE said.. i really don't know any other way and the "plane method" seems a lot more time consuming :roll:
and i guess zmodeler 1.07b (the version i use) is different, but there aren't really material specs or stuff haha my material is basically a 16X16 grayish color but i do use a reflection map umm if you really want it just ask cause i don't feel like finding it right now

i've updated a little but i'll post it later

for now, i'd just like to let you know i changed galleries, so those posted pics don't work...
new gallery

well about the Ferrari, TomWin has converted it to WR1 and 2, and here's the result:
