Re: 3D Model Showcase

did you create a spline cage, then used patches?
the trouble i get into when i attempt @ modelign a car is setting up the blueprints. They never seem to match up.
i'm currently working on a porsche carrera gt 2004, and there are some details that dont match up. Or maybe i'm not setting up the images right.
Can anyone see what i'm doing wrong?
I first create three planes that are the same size as the ref images, i convert those into polgyons and create a new face on the back. That way, i can have both the rear and front side ref images on one plane. Then i usually create some guidelines just to make sure certain details match up.
Like so: here
Maybe the blueprints aren't detailed enough or accurate...

The farthest i've gotten is this
any suggestions?
