Beautifull and in nice detail!

As said above: it's the little details that make it sell

Awesome and smooth models!!
Loving the VW!

I can't wait for the full IronMan suit to be finished

Keep up the great work

What an awesome job!

I heard this techique/rigging wasn't possible in SU, but once again someone proofed otherwise!

Keep up the great work!

PS: can't see ur last picture/movie from your last post. Don't know if its me/my pc or that there is an error or something with it?

Thx! Can't even wait for the first render

Keeping it going:

Bootlock

Doorhandle

Parafan

Wheels (Daytona's with T1R)

But I hear you, will tone it down

Just do not use those stupid, external sites to embed enormous images. Attach them straight here and they will load the thumbnails first.

Tried the advised, less 'stupid' way, but a no go.
Tried uploading three times, started with 15 simultaniously end ended with 5, but every time it returned to my post-edit screen and the deleted the written post...

Less stupid? maybe. Frustrating? Oh yeah

Will try later again, but till then the 'heavy'(?) way

Wow...

Drawing a single HDD VCM assembly in 2D is so frustrating for me, with all those 4 decimals dimensions and most of the time, the component blueprint is not giving a close loop geometry when drawn in CAD software. A HDD basedeck is much much worse because the blueprints dimensions are different between casting and machining and the numbers for normal and critical dimensions are a lot more than the VCM.

Salute to you...

Thx for the compliments and the warm welcome!
The HDD was a nice challenge, but all turned out great

Hey all,

Still new to the forum as in posting, but I wanted to share my latest 'challenge' with you.

Been sketching for 2 years now and started with simple architecture, but since I discoverd the Artisan-tools and saw the superb work of Elisei and his E92 GTR, I dared taking on carmodeling.

Bought the SU-book of Elisei and started the learningproces with his tutorial conceptcar. After finishing that, started on my own project: a Fiat Punto Mk2a.
Why this car? Cause it's what I drive and I learned to start all new SU-styles with something that I have direct acces to.
Also because I see lots of possibilities in my performance-upgrades (it's an 170 bhp HGT, made ready for the track step by step) and helping forummembers of our PuntoClub with 'photoshop'-requests.

Feel free to comment!

The intention is to make it look like this

Started with the sidepanel

Bonnet

Side

Next is roof, boot and tail light

Front Bumper

Rear Bumper

So far till now

ToDo
Doorhandle, bootlock, fuel-entry, rubberstrips, wipers, 'welding' gaps, wheels. Then a first render...

... 15 sec to load?? Just takes up 2 seconds over here
But I hear you, will tone it down

And tried to search on PushPull, but since I don't have an account and have no time to spare this moment to make one, my searchtask couldn't be executed...

But thanks for the complimant

The first forum who asked me to post less pictures...
I will strip it down tonight/tomorrow after work

And being/becoming a 'craquer': is that a compliment or...?
Searched the net for the term 'craquer' but only found a french-english translation about being 'cute'

Please enlighten this simple dutch-man!

Elisei,

I wanted to thank you for sharing all your wisdom and tricks on carmodeling!
I bought your SU-books and learned a sh*tload from you.

I used Artisan for some weeks, when I saw your topic. I, the hero I can be, thought "I can do that".
After some failures, realised I should learn some more and bought your books.

That was 1,5 week ago and this is 'your' result:
Fiat Punto Mk2a

A can't thank you enough!!

And for the hesitators: but Eliseis books, understand what he is doing and telling and it's 'easy'

• Start with copying/modeling stuuf in your direct surroundings
• Start simpel and work your way up to the more fine and difficult stuff
• Ctrl-S is your best friend
• Ctrl-Z is your mistress
• Doubting if there is no faster/easier way to do 'something'? ask here and search for plugins.
• Press every button, use every tool, change every setting and learn as you do

Last tip, but certainly as important: don't let your courage drop when you see all them beauties of models on the net, here of where else! One day, you will be able to do the same it just takes time and experience.

Ooooh God, how I wish I could buy time. Any tips on that anybody?

+Hey all,

After sucking up information from this forum the last 2 years, I thought it would be more then fair to introduce myself and my 'work' till now

I must tell you guys and girls that I'm an IT-employee and have nothing to do with modeling, rendering of whatsoever.
2 years ago I wanted to remodel the living room, but had troube imagining the different concepts. A quick search for some software that could help me in this case, quickly led me to Sketchup.
After pushing some buttons, trying some settings, reading/watchting some tutorials I got started....and never stopped since
I started drawing everything in my house, starting with the big stuff (walls, windows, doors) en worked my way down to stuff like an iPhone, speaker, etc. This has been the best way for me to get familiair with all the standard tools in SU and automaticly makes you search for plugins to aid your tasks. PLUGINS FTW! And I do realy mean this: thank all you boys and girls who have those brains and a big heart for making those crafty plugins and sharing them with us all!

After modeling some more, I started noticing beauties of SU-models with sweet looking graphs and learned 'rendering'.
Remember, I had 0 minutes of modeling and/or rendering-experience when I started. To learn rendering from scratch, while your dayjob asks 50 hours a week from you, it's one hard son of a ... to get through. I started with KerkyThea (great free stuff) en ended up buying a full license of TheaRender. And here again, I'm an addict
Bought meself a new PC (i7 3200, 16GB, GeForce 560ti, etc.) for some 1500 euro's, just to get them renders and hard SU-jobs quicker...no other need. Besides the 1500 euros, it costed me a weeks fight with the misses, but worht it all and more

So, where am I now SU-wise?
I must say, I'm impressed of myself
I just started with the Artisan packs and advanced Fredo-tools for some months now and am taking some daring little personal projects, wich could be real time killers I lost count of the times I checked the time and saw it was 4 in the morning "just a few more lines"

Hope you can enjoy my little addiction and can forgive the text and picture overload (it's been 2 years coming)
Comments is what I live on, so please

Here some pics of my work so far
