Wow, wish my \'just ideas\' on the computer were that good! I\'ve still got some 3dsMax books that I bought ages ago that I\'ve never really looked at properly, along with some erm \'genuine\' copy of the program....anyone want them?

Great work there.

Thats a top job. Nurbs modelling ain\'t easy, especially with the flowing lines of an RX7. Now you\'ve got a perfect platform for playing around with paint colours/different wheels/ride height etc too. Its a lot of effort early on but pays off in the long run :D

At work I use XSI (Im on the lighting team), at home I use Max 9 and Vray.
So if you get a finished article and want it rendered, let me know as I\'d love to get back into Max+Vray on a mini project mate.

sounds like a plan for my next one dude. Put some real time inot getting the mesh nic and smoothed out. As you can see round the edges of this on i haven\'t really taken the best time to do it properly and the bumper isn\'t as smooth as it should be :rolleyes:

Tis only my third attempt at car modeling tho so i\'m hoping this will improve in time.... get rid of all those unwanted triangles :yes

Good man, I need a week or so of playing rFactor with the Logitech G25, so please take your time !
Excellent job for 3rd attempt man, really impressed.
My strength is definately not modelling, however I am planning to make an F50 very very soon and match move it to some shot footage :)

Thats looking great, I\'ve been meaning to sit down and have a go with 3D modelling but just haven\'t got around to it! Keep up the good work and show us your skills!
