Ugh, the front bumper is a pain, my blueprints site said it was an E60, but the actual prints disagree, does anyone know the real E60's front bumper

Do you use Marians technique or do you hand draw each polie. I can make front and side fenders and bonet but always go wrong on the pillars next to the windshield. I ask because your car modelling skills are excellent. Have you ever made a tutorial?

Hello, Coasterdude, i do not make cars with my own technique, but Rogue's excellent meshing technique, you can find his tutorial here

If you want the pillars, i always hand-draw each poly up to the side windscreen.

coasterdude184 · 13 Jun 2009, 16:44

lol, I'm sure you can see how badly it went wrong at the pillars

MrPlanet · 13 Jun 2009, 16:58

Mind sending me the model? (I might be of help)

MrPlanet · 13 Jun 2009, 18:14

My latest project... BMW 3 Series Touring

Roguer1 · 13 Jun 2009, 18:17

It’s looking good so far. I wouldn’t mind seeing some hidden geometry

JaViXP · 13 Jun 2009, 19:58

Good work Shreeyam! And I agree with Rogue, you should attatch some in Hidden Geometry.

MrPlanet · 13 Jun 2009, 20:47

Ok, here is the model with model info open.

Aernoud · 14 Jun 2009, 08:56

Good to see you to on the forum^^, and its great to see how fast you learn!
cool to see you making 3d cars from blueprints! I model cars too, with blueprints...its the same technique used in more complicated 3d software like 3d max and maya.
btw, you make the REALY fast

MrPlanet · 14 Jun 2009, 17:06

Thanks Aernoud (Good to see you here!) I've actually learnt meshing over 9 months ago, but only these few weeks have i really used it. Here is my M5 model, but with interior.

And the 3 series touring, i've transformed it from E90 to E92 and i've also created the grilles, hope you like

Looking really great so far, how about cleaning up that front panel a little;

What it looks like;
it causes a bumpy looking surface

What it should look like;
use the move tool and the arrow tools to clean up

MrPlanet · 14 Jun 2009, 17:34

Thanks Rogue, really helps I cleaned up the mesh around my BMWs, it's still a bit messy, but i think it's passable.

MrPlanet · 17 Jun 2009, 17:05

Here is my BMW 3 Series again.. completed more....(Yes, those are textured lights) Wheels are by FioranoJC (THANKS! )

JaViXP · 17 Jun 2009, 17:35

Good work! Love the lights!

Roguer1 · 18 Jun 2009, 17:44

Very nice, those photo textures really add some depth...I like
