Green Toaster's Car Sketches

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.

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

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

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

. . . ? . . . nobody would question the intake capacity being too restricted, eh . . .

Youd probably get pulled over and asked where you 'borrowed' the foghorns form, though.

GT,

Intake action is Jack bird on.

Bring more of that extreme -- fire the block up out of the hood and bring that to the drive in.

Curves will melt, you'll be all the rage.

Would you be able to see over the intake on the hood?

GreenToaster · 15 Oct 2008, 19:15

. . . it's been a while . . . just something very quick - to start the ball rolling again . . .
