Model this: Microlino
-
As I am not good in modelling then in rendering I started to train in modelling a car.
There is a nice electric car called microlino that used the look of an old BMW Isetta.
I didn't find any 3D model so I started to model it my self. Not as easy as busmodelling, because of the round shape.
here are the blueprints that I've found on the web and my first steps....
Maybe you want to try it too. I am curious about your workflow...
and my model so far
-
That's a lot of curves. I struggle with compound curved surfaces and that's why I haven't tackled a car yet.
Looking forward to the updates.

I'd separate the roof/glass from the body but keep the topology as close as possible.
That front wheel is a troublesome area to get right...
Try playing around with this file

good start! looks much better than mine...

I think you made a good start on this, the proportions look right. I'd struggle with this also. I might use tools on surface next to offset the glass and rubbers. The part that always shows most in renders is the arches i'd concentrate on making them as smooth as possible. I like the car and its statistics. But they mention safety and crash testing. Small vehicles always lose ! Anyway 90km/h for 120km range is great. I bet it's fast to accelerate as there will be no gears. I could see me and my dog in it. Another drawback i find with electric vehicles is they are silent it's dangerous.

Did anybody finish this project if yes it would be really helpfull to me.
