Rogue, you must have your animated GIF of your Milanos for your avatar here!
-
Nah, XD
Mondeo!

See the difference!

Nice. I downloaded it. Nice model, but lol, not much different

Some work on my Ford Escort model!
-
Thanks for the comments...
Here is a little project I have been working on from FR3, I have decided to post some pics.
Ford Visos!

Thanks GreenToaster, here is a little more...

FUC#, DAMN SERVER CRASH!
Oh well....here is all that got deleted (I hope)
Rogues sedan model list:
-Base model
-Mid Range model
-Basic Performance model
-Luxury model
-Performance model
-Limited High Performance model
-V8 Touring CarI am still contemplating the actual title of the model though, a few have come to mind and I am still open to suggestions. Words with strong meaning that sound really good, like: sentient.
Here are some pics of the revision done to the model:

Here is the latest from FR3. Its the Ford GT70 .
Just need to clean it up a bit more and make wheels for it.

Well, i haven't really been posting here much. If you want to keep up to date with my WIP's check out my Buzz or Google profile:

Anyone of the old-school 3D Warehouse regulars still on these forums?
-
Don't know if I was a regular but old for sure !
-
Far out, still posting here regularly? I've been trying to find a better place to post updates about my SU projects than on Google+, seeing as the 3DWH community died after it was transfered to Trimble....
-
I'm not modeling cars as I did in the old days, but I do watch and comment the forums now and then when I can help or when I like something.
If you want to get more attention perhaps the best would be to see which sites are specialized in 3d cars. Here we are just a few that have gone this way. -
I'm also one of the few, although I gave up on the warehouse years ago. And I know it can be frustrating posting car models here. Don't know what it is about modeling cars that doesn't seem to appeal to SU users, but it can get really lonely here for those that do go that route. Probably a lot of them have moved on to other programs that are more supportive of the car modelers, but we few have just got to hang in there and see if we can maybe convert a few of those architects over to the dark side.

To Rogue - I'm still trying to master car modelling & studying your work is extremely helpful (even if we don't acknowledge it enough).. Even now, I don't think I've seen the earlier posts of this thread until now, so its great when they come back to the top of the pile & get noticed. I'm interested in how you build your cars up in sections. I find I get lost & that the whole is rather intimidating - so I'm going to try this technique.
By the way - to hellnbak - the same applies. I read about your stuggle with another problem this morning & your thoughts of quiting. Noooo! Your posts & your models are always fascinating, educational & humourous.

It'a lonely at the top!

I'd recommend SMCars...it's not very active but the people there are super into car modeling and their work is mindblowing. It's super inspiring to be around people like that.

I think I'll stick with Google+ for now, I don't really do enough SU work any more to justify signing up anywhere else.
@__emerald15__ I actually build the whole shell, generally top down, and just finalise certain parts as they are completed just to protect them from accidental modification. Most of my process is just making it up as I go, lol. It's a lot of messy work that eventually ends up tidy. If I'm making a design up as I go I probably use the move tool more than anything else, just splitting lines and repositioning endpoints. It's how I re-made my old low-poly Trojan Super Cobra model into a high detail model. Believe it or not, the new model is directly built from the old mesh, just with adding detail, adjusting the shape and adding in new stuff to update the shape..
Or when building from a drawing, just making outlines of objects and branching off, re-scaling, reusing, moving and repositioning existing geometry and playing with the shape from every angle
-
Hmmm...that doesn't sound so very different from how I try to work. However, I always seem to get lost somewhere in the middle of the process. I suspect it takes a great deal more patience than I have yet found. Never the less, I find studying yours & other artists sequence images very helpful in understanding the process.

Anyone still active around here? I've jumped back into SU for a few models. I've got the itch again! Here is a quick update on what I've been up to:
2015 Was my last really busy year, I uploaded too many models to showcase here, so I'll drop my 3D Warehouse link for anyone interested!
https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/user/d8bb4d13-3b01-44a0-a007-4a77a32b6433/Ben-B?tab=models2016 Saw the Rogue Instigator, a homage to my first ever Rogue branded design I drew as a kid:
A new wheel! I'd started work on a new model and wanted a new wheel to go with it. I also finally got around to making a new brake caliper, I got so sick of looking at the horribly low poly thing I used for years!
A new Azione model, to replace the GT3. I added massive amounts of detail, a lot of which went into smoothing edges and making an updated V10 engine
The once abandoned sedan model is finally seeing some progress, after 3 years of inactivity. I borrowed the back end from my 2015 Milano as it much more closely resembled my original design sketch than the one I had planned, and suites it a lot better! I'll try to make an all-new interior too, and will likely put a V6 in it
Well, if anyone is still subbed to this thread or comes across this, I hope you've enjoyed my little update. I felt like posting something here since the old 3D Warehouse car community seems entirely gone, especially now SU is web based (bad move Trimble!), and I've not networked with anyone from the SU community in quite a while. Hopefully I'll have something more to post here in the future, if I don't fizzle out again soon!
