BMW Z4

This is my first time modeling a car thus if there's any noob questions please forgive me. I've marked out the areas where i found to be funny looking. If there's any other areas where you think is wrong please tell me.
Anyone can salvage my BMW Z4 ? I'm stuck at it for 2 days already....
Thanks.

i think you just need to learn to use the chamfer tool,the mesh looks pretty good for a first time modeling a car, a bit of cleaning up involved but good none the less

Yep. Chamfering is the way to go. The base mesh looks pretty good, as Catlin said. You just have to define the lines and shapes of the car before meshsmoothing it.


If you can't stand the heat, don't walk into the fire...

a little off topic, but i sat in one of those z4's a few days ago, and thought that its a very rough car, in almost every perspective, from the way the gears engage to the way the door shuts to the way the convertible top locks itself... was really disappointed.

same way you model the car? just find high res pics of it, and try to model it piece by piece, those are actually pretty simple.

I would really suggest concentrating on 1 part at a time and then detailing those things in a little later.
