i m using crisp tool only at the end points (for not getting rounded) and sometimes at the windows contours
as Marian said put the parts in groups and subdivide them separately
some details like my taillights here are made after smooth cause it couldn t keep the original shape
u may need sometime to rearrange some lines
u take a group and apply the SDS ,watch the result-if it s ok just go back(it s better if u let the group unsmoothed until the finish when u ll smooth them all ),if it s not ok go back and ad extra lines and again run SDS---in this way u make it looks good by trying again and again

And most important:every time when u get a good result don t forget to make a backup

I second that BACKING UP idea I keep the the unsubdivided mesh in a separate layer.

Your work just blows me away! Would love to see a tutorial or just a screen capture video of you modelling. Keep it up!

+1. You can use this free software:
http://camstudio.org/

If you decide to use it, please configure it to capture a frame every 165 miliseconds with a playback rate of 30 fps. This way we'll see you working in 5x normal speed.

i,still,can*t believe how such nice things can come out of Sketchup [attachment=1:lqehqsxl]<!-- ia1 -->E058ya.jpg<!-- ia1 -->[/attachment:lqehqsxl]

They come from your imagination. The tool doesn't think. You are the one with talent. I remember a schoolmate who could do beautiful drawings even with cheap pencils, and I also remember another who even with expensive oil paintings could only produce fugly images.

Fast and furious!

I never thought I'll find you here until now (this forum doesn't let you see a user's threads like it used to). Really digging that Lambo-esque concept.

Thank you Mr Dale and Miguel for compliments... indeed when i first started to use sketchup i didn t believe that i ll reach this level of mastering sketchup .
I ll try sometime to see what can i do with that screen recorder.

Thanks again!

Really excellent SDS work!

[ely862me]

thanks,i m trying to improve

[rcossoli]

Your concept is amazing, is an example of modeling in sketchup.
a question, more or less in weight of such a file when you have that amount of sub divisions?

[ely862me]

Well the lambo concept is about 8,16 mb but i have it mirrored

and here it comes the first parts of a raw of videos on how i m doing the cars(remember i m designing while i m modeling,there were no sketches in my mind) [flash=660,525:2rg3uqhw]http://www.youtube.com/v/tzjA0GPdQrw&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b&border=1[/flash:2rg3uqhw]

If u see things that can be done faster than i do,or if u have any tips to improve my work,please,tell me.

Thanks!

Ha! I just watched the last video, and your process looks very familiar. There is an enormous amount of tweaking and testing in creating an exact organic shape with SDS, and you showed it very well in this video.

I've gotten intensely involved in levels of detail like this, and found that many hours have passed without my having noticed. I haven't done any cars because I don't have the eye for car design that you obviously do. I can appreciate and understand (and even duplicate) the technical skill, but the conceptual vision is not something you can teach -- you either have it or you don't.

You certainly seem to have it...

[ely862me]

Thanks!
If u have patience u can do whatever u want IF u have imagination.
Here is the last video recorded until now....maybe i ll shot others but for now this is all.
