. . . the proportions are spot on.

Thanks - I'm not very good at this - very much hit & miss, more miss than hit.

Here's the finished concept model using the geometry from the video tutorial.

Happy Sketching,

Brad

. . . more sketching . . .

You have never try nurbs modeling?
Because you have this directly in the prog By Marcorhino (here Moment of Inspiration who has export SKP)
Remark the refinement and softness of the drawing's lines themselve!

Nurbs? Is that puffed cheese? Tell me more . . .

pilou

...are you joking or serious?

So take a look here and press the Making Of! (click twice for zoom and access to the 13 pages in big format: they are annoted)
It's the best tut ever shown about the method of the spirit of nurbs creation directly used inside the process
I can't say more about the subject

ps I don't know puffed cheese despite the fact that I am living in Cheesland!

GreenToaster

So, the car is impressive!!! I should look into NURBS, eh? Does Blender do them?

I was almost sure I saw a package of NURBS at the store the other day - right next to the wood screws on the fasteners aisle - must have been something else I guess.

Thanks,

Brad

Nope, blender doesnt do NURBS in any meaningful way.

As pilou has been suggesting, id check out MoI for a good introduction ot modelling with NURBS.

p.s. apparently the UK has more regional cheeses than france, strange stuff, i know.

I just did that - I qualify for the educational version, not bad at $100, eh?

I hope my boss will reimburse me for it - if not, I'll just have to pay for it myself - no biggie. Thanks for the tip - I look forward to using it.

pilou

So you were serious!
Blender has nurbs but not yet powerful!
They have in project to increase the power of it for the next versions
Learning curve of Blender is something that only a monk can do

I must not be a monk - thus far, I haven't found Blender to be very easy to learn, but I'm not very smart.

I will be downloading the 30 day version of MOI next week - I'm finishing a semester of graduate school and I don't need the distraction right now.

Thank you very much,

Brad

these Le Mans style cars are really cool, you keep on improving.
Cheers

GreenToaster

Thanks - I'm still enjoying this very much.

Although I try not to confuse activity with progression, even I can see a little improvement from a year ago.

Happy Sketching,

Brad
