My Models (~goldenfrog~)

Scott,

I really appreciated the link. How do you start a model? I've been using ely862me's tutorial for this car, but I can't seem to get it to really look like the GTR. What tips do you have for creating a basic car mesh?

Also, can you tell me how you create seams between panels? Mine always seem too angular.

Thanks SO much for the directions on how to change the minimum line length. I really needed that.

So, the lug nuts are what you think is the real problem...I think you're right about that, but there is also a problem with the diameter of the rims.

Ok, so there are many details missing...

Thanks for the advice.

Right now, fellows, I'm working on a muscle car concept. If Scott Para is reading this, I am now modeling to scale, you can see Sang's shadow in the attached image. I'm lovin' the mesh. The hidden geo is on.

Look'n good so far! Can't wait to see more progress

GoldenFrog · 7 Apr 2010, 13:12

Thanks Rogue. I gave the hood a shot, but it turned out quite a mess, so I took it out. Today, I'll try again.

Must. Continue. Now.

GoldenFrog · 7 Apr 2010, 15:01

Thanks Shams.

I will continue the work this evening when I have some time, right now, back to studies! I'm studying the human heart.

Anything new from you? Besides your museum I mean.

Ok, SketchUp time!!

GoldenFrog · 7 Apr 2010, 21:27

Doing alot of work here.

I'm using the "greens" style, kept getting the normal style (white faces) mixed up with the white of the blueprints.

GoldenFrog · 7 Apr 2010, 23:08

I know I'm quadruple posting , but I post as the update is needed.

So far, this is my best car attempt.

The pic has wheels by Rogue. Thanks Ben.
EDIT! To keep from septuple posting, I will edit my post each time an update is called for.

Here, as you can see, I have made my own wheels.

Roguer1 · 9 Apr 2010, 01:26

Nice progress. The front end looks a little high. Is that the design?

GoldenFrog · 9 Apr 2010, 01:46

Thanks Ben.

No, the front was not done at the time of that picture. Now it is done, but I'm using my laptop, so tommorow, I'll show you some pictures of the finished front end.

GoldenFrog · 9 Apr 2010, 17:00

Here are the pics. Not finished, still needs lug nut on the wheels, the back looks like a blob, I'll probably rework that. Still, I'm happy with the front and sides, and the design of the wheels, and the lights.

GoldenFrog · 11 Apr 2010, 20:30

C'mon, feedback...

Roguer1 · 12 Apr 2010, 03:54

Nice progress. Still some learning to do with the modeling but its early days yet

GoldenFrog · 12 Apr 2010, 13:23

Thanks, Ben, it's good to have some feedback. The back has been reworked, and some BIG changes made to the front. I'll get some pictures up. My sister gave me some good ideas, such as changing the GT logo into GF.

GoldenFrog · 22 Apr 2010, 16:44

Done!

Yeah, your models are pretty awesome! Yeah, it is me! I got a Sketchucation account!

GoldenFrog · 28 May 2010, 12:34

Thanks. I'll get the renders up soon.

GoldenFrog · 3 Jun 2010, 13:14

Here's a new project I'm doing: A Nissan Skyline GTR. A hidden geo picture is included.

Please tell me what I should improve on so far! Thanks!

I like it, but what happened to the SP game? XD
But the place where the side meets the hood looks awkward....looks like it needs more of a smooth curve
