Re: 3D Model Showcase

well, after redoing this car about 4 times already, I find that Box modelling is the way to go. when you extrude by the same increments each time, you get a consistency that would take at least 10x the amount of time if you spline model it. I know with the enzo, you need that consistency for the front to fit perfectly in all the views, or you'll have it perfect in one and suck in the other. anyway, i always find myself Poly-splining it, so to speak. ill make the cage, then go back and poly model parts i dont like to get it perfect. It all depends on what you like.

to thetadot, it's good to have people to criticize your work, whether they know alot or nothing, or are good at max or not, you cant judge your own work. You'll always find things wrong with it, or you'll think its perfect when theres so much more you can do to make it better.
