Thanks Blank. I’m glad people understand that feedback is a key part of design. I noticed a mesh problem with the wheel I just posted...I just fixed it.

There will be no more exterior pics of the Rogue Sedan until I get to the interior and engine details. BTW does anyone have any good images of the Ford I5 Duratec (Volvo engine), 3.0 24 Valve DOHC V6 (from American Fords) and the Duratec 35 3.5 V6 DOHC or any similar engines. I need reference for modeling. Plus any running gear, suspension, gear box, steering, breaks, etc.

Another new wheel:

In my spare time I got a little more done.

Thanks, its just good to actualy have someone comment on a model. I havnt really been getting feedback for weeks so I though my attempt at getting useful viewer feedback were failing. Its really great when someone has something positive to say about my designs and modeling. It helps with design development.

Thanks.

Here is one of the wheels that will be on the options list for my new Rogue Sedan:

Once again I am talking to myself. This forum is dying, just like the warehouse

After the crash I decided to re post my lost work..here is:

Changes/Progress:
-Front air intake
-Fuel tank
-Doors finished
-Wheel added to options list
-other stuff too

I have a "from scratch" tutorial coming soon too. Keep a look out in the 3D Warehouse

Sarcasm: "Looks great Rogue"

Let’s continue. I am working on a Scratch modeling tutorial for cars to go along with my modeling from blueprints one: http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=de3c151d9d1209fc5ef6f8ebfad7f16

It is about 40-50% complete at 1-2 hours work. I’ll post it to the 3D Warehouse when done.

Here is a screen shot:

And here is a wheel I just uploaded to the 3D Warehouse:

Here is a model I have worked on for a while. It is based on the new Ford Mondeo and Mazda 6. The wheels are the Rogue D-014(as shown above). I have spent a few hours on it now and its such a nice looking car. Tigre Feroce has finished his version of the same cars, it is the TigreFeroce Lexington:

The 300 ST has a total of 50,000 polys and is arround 20-30% complete.
Here are some screen shots:

Here is my latest model. It is for FJC's soapbox contest but I dont think it is entirely right for the part.If not I'll upload it as something else.

Modeling time: 2 hours

I had this problem for a long time, windows just didnt like .avi. Even thought it is a common video format, it recognised it only as audio. I searched Google and here is the first free fix I found.

Its a codec pack avalible for free, it contains nearly 200 codecs and tonns of apps allowing Windows to play .avi and a whole lot more. There is also the problem with playing DVD's. I havnt tested it but as far as I know you can now play DVD's on any Vista version in Media Player. It doesnt stop there, it contains more Audio Drivers and Directshow Filters.

Check it out!

I hope it helps make Vista that little less F__k'n annoying!

Thanks Brad. You say your models are "almost cartoon-like simple creations" but thats what SketchUp was really designed for. I quite admire your models as I have never been able to create anything quite like them. I think the uniqueness makes your models that much better. Although SU is designed for quick or "simple" models it does have a lot more power than people think. It has many functions that other 3D modeling software doesnt have and itis a lot easyer to learn than any other I have come accross. I think thats why they call it SketchUp.

Keep up the great SU models

-Ben

Woooo, looks really nice!

Hey....I finally made a Downlaodable Modeling a car from blueprints Tutorial in SU. Here it is:

I hope it helps

also, try some photography studio HDRs by Rayman.

Thanks I will some time

Sorry for the lack of updates. Here is a little work on the Artega GT, although a small amount it will improve the look of the model a lot

Old Wheel:

New Wheel (with tyre tread and more poly's):

Hey, good to see you dw26. Good renders, I especially like the last one of the Lada

Those are some really great designs and some really great renders!

That model is awasome ray, Im working on a Ford Sierra. Check it out some time.

Hey Rogue, that's looking really good!

By the way, have you had a chance to do anything with that .gif I sent you?

I have tryed to upload it to my website but it wont accept it. Something to do with it being too large or something I cant figure out. I'll try to get it working some time with'n the next few days.
