In my humble opinion this car model is gorgeous!

I like particularly how clean curves are, also with hidden geometry shown.

Could you please give us some hints on your modeling process? I'm particularly interested on how you achieved those smooth shapes, as for example the bumper that goes from back to front in a long waved line.

Bravissimo! ^__^

Excellent work Rich, thanks a lot!

Nice lighting in that last one. Good job.

...apart from the pillows: a bit too stiff.

Great news TIG !!!

Thanks for your answer and - hey! - please stop showing off your sister pictures because I'm hardly stopping myself from hot comments...

Congratulations for your models, Rogue. They are stunning considering the limited capabilities of SketchUp as a "free-form" modeler.
Do you use any plugins for your creations, or just standard tools?
Keep it up mate!

Thanks for the update Kirill!

Ehy, wait! Are you turning SketchUp into a NURBS application? Bad boys!

Congratulations for your work, Brodie.

Could you share some insight on the creation process?
For example, how did you model the (wonderful) cloth on the bed and windows?

Keep it up!

Actually no, I don't do a lot of pipes work, but is a shape that cross my way sometimes and wakes up my interest because of the complicated geometry.

What bugs me is that the kind Blajnov did manage to accomplish the task with RoundCorner, but I am not able to replicate the success.

TIG, thanks for your input, I'll try to count the segments, but at first thought it looks hard to match both sides because of different lenghts.

Help! In another thread someone pointed me to this plugin to round off the joint of two pipes. I'm getting weird results, tough...

I guess I'm missing some basics, like using wrong number of sides or something else.
Could someone help me, please?

Thanks for the GREAT tutorial!

After a second look I think this picture is too unrealistic: how comes that the pilot turns his back to that girl (Megan Fox for sure)?!?

Sorry I think I misunderstood the type of Cube...
Hope plugins were allowed...

Eheheh, this animation is amazing!

Thanks a lot for pointing me to Google Warehouse: it deserves a better exploration.

Hi Luis, I would be very interested to know how you did model the spring!
Great rendering, by the way; V-Ray is the best.

One of the most powerful plugins I've seen to date! Bravo Kirill!

Nice work SiFi!
Which render engine are you using? I like very much these "sketchy" pictures.

I didnt quite understand the second graphic but here is my quick attempt using Shape Bender, Joint PP, Follow Me
CMD

Could you please provide us a more detailed explanation, or just some screenshots of the process? Thanks!

I am not a pro at all, but my humble advice is just to spend a lot more time modeling details, tons of them missing in this car.
These forums are full of great car models to look at, some showing the underlying geometry, too.
Go for it!
