      Let this project rest for a while, but tend to start soon on the interior as the standard interior is and then a race interior (rollcage, stripped, etc.).

        Wow, another car modeler!!

        Incredible work, well beyond my capabilities. I have a lot of problem getting the surfaces smooth enuf. I spend way too much time on that, and at best the results are only barely acceptable.

        A question about Artisan -- you seem to go from about a zillion polys to a much more reasonable number, how do you do that? I have tried Artisan (without success) a number of times. If I could get it to work (without getting such a huge number of polys) it would help me enormously. The only thing I use it for nowadays is the Select Brush, which by itself is well worth the purchase price.

        Also, on the same subject, how the heck do you get it to work on an object without affecting the edges of it, shrinking it all out of shape?

        Please edumacate me, my mind is a void, fill it with knowledge ๐Ÿ˜’

        Again, very nice work ๐Ÿ‘

          Thx ๐Ÿ‘

          Your problems with smoothing the surface/lines is not unknown to me. The only thing I can say on that subject: don't give up and try, try and try again. A 'bit' of patience is the only must have ๐Ÿ˜„

          Did you tried the e-books from Elisei?
          They help a great deal and brings alot of light in de darkened world of car-/organic modeling ๐Ÿ’ญ

          Do you mean from this

          http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7099/7358497392_311286e4ef_b.jpg

          to this

          http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7098/7358497214_c144edd879_b.jpg

          ?

          If so: I don't ๐Ÿ˜„
          I build it all in the 'simple' style and SS it from time to time to check the progress and results and then undo (ctrl-z is your best friend ๐Ÿ˜„ )it.
          Before EVERY SS action I save my file (save copy as...), cause you never now if SU may crash or not ๐Ÿ˜ฎ
          I also make a variety of files with different functions, so they don't bite eachother. I.e. a file for building in simple meshes, a file for the SS'd parts and a file for the SS'd parts wich need altering like lowering/tilting/painting.

          Every line you want to become/stay an edge after SS, you dubbelline it ๐Ÿ˜‰

          See pic below and look carefully at the edge from the cover and you'll see it's dubbellined.

          http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8024/7513598718_7d3856cb4e_b.jpg

          The closer the two lines are together, the sharper the edge will be.

          Hope this filled a bit of void in that great thinking machine of yours ๐Ÿ˜„ and keeps you challenging using Artisan and become a great carmodeler โ—

            You want more posts? I think we're just in awe! I don't know whether to be inspired or demoralised. ๐Ÿ˜† I keep trying to understand car modeling as I have a client in the automobile industry, but I never get very far. If I could model to even half this standard it would be helpful in my work. It's not actually that I don't understand the tutorials, it's that it gets so complicated that I lose my way. Its such a pleasure scrolling through your images of the process seeing how you tackle each part. You mention Elisei's book - did it help? Perhaps I should start reading. I ask pretty much the same questions as hellnbak, (particularly regarding getting a smooth finish). Incidently, hellnbak - fan of your work too... can't beleive you manage it without Artisan!

              The main reason why I'm posting my WIP is to inspire others!
              If I, a 'simple' ICT-guy, can do this, imagine what you as a designer can do!!

              As is said before, the only ingredient needed is patience ๐Ÿ˜„

              And if I can help in any way, please let me know ๐Ÿ˜‰

              I highly recommend them! Elisei has a good/clean way of explaing by word and picture. It also comes with a video of the work, so you can see him doing it.

              When you work and study by his tutorial, you will see you'll get grip of techniques en alter/improve them to your own style.
              Imho this is the best way to learn.

              Do give it a try ๐Ÿ˜„

              +1!

                          Real nice work.
                          Hopefully this will inspire hellnbak to start some great renders SOON!
