      Donald Duck´s “313”
      Besides all these many great modeled and rendered cars here and elsewhere in the web, this one should not be missed I think. (No joke, this Donald Duck´s “313” is my very first ever modeled "car" 😄 )
      enjoy!

      Brilliant! Loving all parts of this. ...and now I'm thinking of that cursed Charger I never finish... one day - one day!

        Thank you All for the compliments - I'm glad you like it

        ...Thanks for the breakdown ... I am still struggling with quads and having a model like this to study is just the ticket.
        same to me Barry - I´m also "still struggling" with the quads 😉 and without the examples here there would not be a "313" possible for sure. Meanwhile at least I succeed with simplifying some things. I add 3 little detailings below (to leave geometry as simple as possible), which can not be seen in the BreakDown above and I hope this will be useful for your works as well.

          No... whenever I start working on it I end up writing an extension or enhancement to aid the modelling... facepalm

                Errm, that would be a white whale. But then you norgies eat whale. So maybe it's a lightly grilled whale.

                  You know, I started modelling that car so many years ago - in 3dsmax. It's starting to become a haunting ghost. At some point I need to defeat this thing. My bluewhite whale.

                    Cursed, I even quickly googled it and picked the first answer.

                          Rich, this is just awesome 👍 ❗ 👍
                          This is a great vehicle - This tank design look more nice than threatening. Great details - does one chain link(?) consist out of 2 single parts?

                              "Sick" as the kiddies say. Is that a turret? Do the tubes upfront stretch if it turns?

                                  I have done in the past some similar shapes, to me the best shape to get those T Pipes are the hexagons:

                                  This sample was done in another program, but works exactly the same in SU by using SubD.

                                    Those are octagons, right?

                                      Dang! Yeah you're right, in this particular case were used octagons, but in the main shapes when you want to get rounded ones, the hexagon should work good.

                                        Do you generally feel hexagons works better than octagons or any other ngons?

                                          When you are working with simple tubes, the hexagon seems to me as the best, this is another sample:

                                          https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-A8MwVNRwKSw/WEctywRmQiI/AAAAAAAAB6E/et8wue-v8gM7CjqvN3PNUkO_hopCM6qCQCL0B/w530-d-h321-p/Carrara%2BSubD.png

                                          It's a simple hexagon based shape and when you repeat it you can create a texture, as many shown here, the best thing is that you can UV map those very well:

                                          https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-F3c0pcs0YEk/WEcuKtwBsrI/AAAAAAAAB60/JvcrEzR2oG8hJGXZNSo-cNcSgHXbACPBwCL0B/w530-d-h427-p/3D%2BModel%2BCarrara.png

                                            Lovely example!

                                            Btw, what software is that? Do you know if it uses OpenSubdiv?
