Not bad at all. Design on the side is nice too, with that directed air intake

Front end reminds me of the BMW 1M coupe, and a Citroen GT Concept.

Wow, that's a lot of subdividing. What's the poly count?

19895 Edges
13112 Faces

for a half model

The Drag coeficient (Cx) of this Citroën must be not optimum with a such front face?

Anyone know a good tutorial to model a radiator grill ?

[olishea]

What type of grille do you have in mind? Do you mean the actual radiator or the grille in front?

[rotebrause]

the grill in front.
All my trys are really ugly, a grill like BMW, but not splited

[olishea]

Just 'skin' the surface you want as a grill and then intersect some rectangles. Should be relatively simple.

[rotebrause]

i want the grill as singel objekt, subdividign destroy every form

[olishea]

learn to offset and make loops to create creases. See the Simple Artisan Examples thread for more ideas on how to make the shape more defined. I know what you mean.

[okomta]

just info you can use material "fencing" in SU,,and make double layer: front is fencing and behind is dark color/black ,, it's simple grill if you like to try,,sorry just poor my trick,,,goodluck man,,:D

Hello,

anyone have an idea how i can make a grill like this one ? I stuck since days
The honeycomb structure is my main probleme, a flat one i can make, but a round one? I have no idea ...

In the 3D Warehouse it's an Audi RS5 very good modeled , use that honeycomb it has for the front air intakes

Here it is : http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=16f3e3dbb1c1ed8af2cdad303f49c9f9&prevstart=0
