      It's already apparent that your geometry is a mess. Try to keep your polygons cleaner and more evenly spaced. This will help make it easier to add details down the road. Also, as mentioned, you need to align your blueprints better.

      Maybe you should start by modeling the garage that the car is going to go in. Then move up to the car itself. The gallery is already over saturated with "look at my car WIP" threads.....why not do something original?

          Even with a "$2000 CAD program" you need to be highly skilled to draw a realistic car.
          Mike is right. Start with something more simple, this will help you improve your skills.
          If instead you keep on trying with the car, try to answer our posts.

            or at least individual components of the car, if architecture isnt your thing.. i'd say the simplest thing to start with would be a wheel/tire.... start out with that maybe.

                Yeah, just try it, you only have to know how to handle with polygons. But I should make the car with lesser poly's. Now you use too many polygons. The best is to do your best on this car. And a lot of practice is very helpfull! Then in the final you can make cars in sketchup ! (maybe its better to draw your own blueprints, and make completely your own car. Then you can make it a bit diffrent than the blueprint...)

                      Hi Kevin,

                      Hope you dont mind,

                      I've seen your new cars, and your tutorial in the 3DWH,
                      car
                      car tutorial
                      you're really getting better !

                      About the tutorial:

                      • you still need to align the blueprints: wheels in the side, front and rear view should be at the same height, but the idea is correct and the result is not bad
                      • you could use scenes to make it easier to use

                                      So you made a tutorial for people who use SU but aren't on this site but can download it from 3d warehouse.

                                      It all becomes so much clearer now.

                                        i get what he's saying.... just like other people's models that he 'mods' and paints a different color..... he is doing the same now with someone else's tutorial..tweaking it slightly and spreading it to 3d warehouse.
