my 3d model of a German looker being built
 

Hey guys I have decided to start work on a 3d model of my bug. I am going to be using it to work out some ideas i have for my real project. This will give me a cheap way ie free way, to work out some of the crazer ideas i have. I will be posting pics and animations of the model as it comes along. I may from time to time ask you guys if it looks right.

to start with i used a blueprint i found on the net for referance then had to decide where to start so i started on the front fender on the passengers side.

I have a short animation to show you what the outline looks like you can start to see the fender taking shape.

I will upload that file soon. I would like a bit of feed back are you guys interested in watching the progress of a 3d model being built?

Ok here is the first outlines of the fender this is a short avi file to show what the shape looks like

starmember where did you get that model? I looked around for one on the net but the only good looking ones were for sale at a very high price. Did you model that?

I did not completely model it I remodel it. I wanted to build a little game but I did not have the time to finish it. I also have a karmangia. The picture is an old picture.

Hey star could you send me the 3d model you have of that bug? This could save me a lot of time. I have some ideas i am trying to work out with my hood to extract the heat from the rads I am still working on my model but if i had one that was mostly complete it would save me a ton of time.

Thanks

slow progress finaly got the outline of the hood done. now i will start on the inside part of the hood. You model the car only one half at a time then copy it and flip it sence cars are mirrored. here is what the outline looks like so far.

i wil send it to you if i have the bugs out of it. if i have some time :(

hey Vincent how did you make the out lines? what program are you using?

I am using 3d studio Max I am modeling the car you have to do it one vertex at a time the way i am doing it so you line up the side view and draw a line then you move the vertex's to line up in the front and top view when you are done you have a 3d line of the shape. the next part for the hood will be to make the indent on the hood then to make a mesh that will define the 3d surface. I will post a pic when i get that part done.

I can help you :cool:
