Yay! Can't wait for it to be finished

Looks awesome! But I don't understand why you don't smooth as you go, I find it easier to be able to select panels quickly, and it gives me a better idea how the finished model will look...

Roguer1 · 5 Sept 2009, 03:12

Well, it’s because smoothing as you go is pointless. I often re-model large part of the model and that requires raw mesh. If it’s all messy and grouped it can often lead to whole groups being deleted or moved. It’s just a lot easier to work straight from raw mesh and group thing and add finishing touches at the end

Thanks for the comments though

Well, you could work with the hidden geometry on, but it's best to deal with the smoothing later.

Speaking of hidden geometry, does any of you use shortcuts for the important tools/views? I rigged up a couple of them and I seem to work faster now. Just a thought.

MrPlanet · 7 Sept 2009, 13:59

Yeah. My V is for edges on/off my B is for hidden geometry and my N is for profiles.

Roguer1 · 7 Sept 2009, 19:12

Yeah, I have set-up one or two. I don’t often bother but I may end up adding a few more.
Now that you mention it

Alright people, injecting car quiz into this thread.

This is a 1969 Shelby GT500: Photo
And this is a 1969 Shelby GT500: Photo
As you might've noticed, it's a fakie. So, anyone knows the original car?

Full story here, but don't just jump to the conclusion!

Beautiful craftsman, BTW.

Roguer1 · 8 Sept 2009, 13:01

Looks good. I have seen a couple of earlier model retro-build’s. Based on the GT500XR, not the best build but its still unique. Oh, btw, link to the full story is wrong

MrPlanet · 8 Sept 2009, 15:58

Ok.. is this a render or a reference pic?

BLANK · 8 Sept 2009, 20:48

Grr... and again, here.

That's a good example too. I wouldn't agree with the taillights being slightly angled, but may be it's just the point of view.

Roguer1 · 21 Sept 2009, 15:01

Just some pic's of my Mondeo..Oh, and the Mondeo model

2007 Ford Mondeo.skp

MrPlanet · 21 Sept 2009, 15:04

Great model. Just like the actual car.

BLANK · 25 Sept 2009, 14:20

Weeee! Nice.

Any plans for the Mk6 Fiesta? I know, I'm just trying to keep you busy.

Roguer1 · 26 Sept 2009, 02:25

I might make a Mk6 fiesta if I make a last gen Mondeo, which is probably one of the best looking sedans around. Damn, i wish I had the SU energy to make most fords since 2000 but it’ll take soo damn long!

New wheel

My Thirty Fifth wheel. Based off that of the 2000 Ford Cougar

BLANK · 26 Sept 2009, 07:31

You might want to work only on two models at a time. Otherwise things don't really work quite well. My work is easy compared to yours, but working with more than two models gets annoying and one ends up finished months later.

dolphus · 26 Sept 2009, 11:10

You really do spectacular work i love visiting you "nook" please keep on posting

Roguer1 · 1 Oct 2009, 15:08

Thanks for the advice and comments, they are always welcome.

New model!

My Thirty Sixth wheel. Based off that of the Audi RS6. I have dropped the detail a bit, from a 100 sided circle to a 50 sided one. This is a request by Alex.

BLANK · 2 Oct 2009, 19:42

50-sided is still "heavy". I once did a 100-sided wheel for Alex (Viper, I think) and then compared it to its 24-sided version: My head exploded. 50-sided wheels still have the same effect, so I got rid of my old wheels and redid them. But who knows, may be some day I'll do 100-sided ones...

Great wheel by the way, and not just because I'm an Audiphile...

Didn't know you guys incredibly rise the edges in a circle.......
great wheel by the way
