Yo, Ben
Just rated that one.
I, myself, am working on a volvo 850 estate. Coming along pretty well too.
-
850 estate, nice, any chance of pic's?

Oh, F! It! hereβs a peek at the dials.. All digital! Just like the feature on the first Milano, itβs gonna have a move and replace feature; dials.... Damn hard work

Do you use any plugins? If you dont, your work could be even better if you download some of the good ones. I have the tools on surface, its very useful.
-
My my, we just typed a post at the same instant. I'll post some pics of my volvo on my models thread.

Yes, I have gotten into the same habbit. When i open a image in photo gallery every now and again i click and drag to orbit (damn silly idea). Somehow my mind thinks I can orbit a 2d image to see more of it.
You think you have a bad habbit...I try to orbit when I'm using microsoft word!!

Thanks for the advice, have just acquired tools on surface. I usually just use Fredo Scale and Joint push/pull. This is a nice addition! Fredo makes some damn great plugins.
-
I know what you mean. Fredo does make excellent plugins. I have the joint push pull . Quite helpful.
Hope they help you to work faster and better!

I am just about to start on a muscle car...Hope it works out.

Any chance of a link to your post?

Can I see some exterior shots of the Milano? I have gotta see a model with that big a file size...

As for the link to my thread: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=81&t=23865&start=45
It is, as I said before a muscle car, based on the ford mustang 2009 model. Can't get any more specific than that...

The roof panel has a seam to separate it from the column panel.
The windscreen was all manually meshed, but I got it somewhat neat, If I may say so...

Well, there are exterior shots back a few pages. Itβs not really the exterior thatβs adding all the detail, its the interior

-
So that interior is...shall we say, rather large?

Wow. It's added about 2MB to the file size, eh?
-
I just seperated out the interior and it, alone, is about 3.5MB

-
Wow! BTW, I just posted some shots of my WIP muscle car on my thread. Check 'em out please!

Rogue
Did you know that there is a Ford factory in Michigan called the Rogue factory? I've been there before on a tour.
Is that what your name is based on? -
Ah, the Ford - River Rouge Complex. No relation

It was just a name I decided upon a few years ago. It was actually a secondary name for one of my designs but when I played around with a few other names it just felt right. -
I see. Still a nice coincidence.
At the time I visited the Rogue Complex, I was rather young...9 or 10. Needless to say, I really wasn't interested, but now I'd like to go there again

Gotta get those Almost-Near-Finished pics uploaded to my thread. You'll like my new wheels.

Also, Ben,
I was looking at the pictures of your red mustang on Page 5 of this thread, and I noticed that the two hemispheres of your cars had, for example, one had a rear light and the other didn't. It seems that you do not use the mirror tool. Do you use it?
-
Nope, I only create one side of the shell; itβs a much cleaner modeling process and produces cleaner, better results. I create components from the existing parts and flip them. Parts that crossover the centreline are simply one component with flipped mesh. That pic you mentioned was still a WIP so you can see the components from one side that are completed and the components that cross the centreline completed, I hadnβt yet flipped and moved into place the finished components.
-
Ah, I see. I'll get those pics up asap..
Update! They're uplaoded now!
