UV mapping shouldn't be a problem, have done it plenty of times with characters, and well shouldn't be too much of a problem with cars

@Bigg Add and Super Skull thanks

yes it would suprise me if you didnt...
i`m just sayng its gonna take some time.. (recenlty my company asked me for a very high polygon charater for one new 3d game they`r making(intro to be precise..) , and uvw gave me some troubles with such modell...
i ask that , becouse i`m interested in making such a program as :3d Games Studio Pro.
(i know assembly and c++ "preaty" good)
and i (just guess) that that was made in dbpro.


and does : Quikly Game Studio have something to do with you ? (i mean do you have some relations with it , except donating model..)


p.s. what 3d moddeling program do you use?

i heard cinema is similiar to 3d studio max . I think it is probably the best choise for me for home to buy that for game models , right ? (my problem is adopting to new options , i worked in max alot , alot , -long time , and that`s the only program i ever worked in , so i don`t know will it be much of a trouble learning cinema 4d...)

and , can you give me a mail or something of the creator ? - i have a question i would like to ask him ...

And another question , does someone knows for a site with free sketches(sorry , i don`t know to spell it , i mean drawings..) of real stuff so i can model based on them ? - it`s difficult to model a car (exitsing) or something like that without a drawing at least..

Right, Cinema 4D - http://www.maxon.net The home of C4D, they have an excellent customer service, you can also ask for a free demo disk which contains basic tutprials to start you off and show reels, or just download the demo.

I found it really easy to learn, if you do make it a choice of yours, then I have tutorials on my website which are increasing in number. http://seppukuarts.afraid.orgThe landscape tutorial should start you off, but all the other tuts assume you know the interface.

Finally, here is a site for car referance images, its the website I found the lotus elise drawings, they are to scale, so don't worry

http://www.suurland.com/

Hope you find all that useful

seppuku: nice start, looks like you could have a few edge issues on the front bumper tho.


Dodic: please make your mind up, are you a professional modeller, or not?

to quote you:
Quote: "i can recognize a good modeler , i work in a very good payd moddeling company , and you are good ."

you're asking a lot of questions you should already know the answer to.

I'm not a n00b basher, i just don't like people making things up. be yourself.

@manic : i ask those questions , becouse i never realy moddeled game models before , only models i realy moddeled are high polyg nurbs models. - and also i`m trying to find the best free modeling software so i can model at home.

now how good i`m at modeling , ask my employer

@seppuku arts : than`s for the links , i found some good stuff to base my models off ..

but before this gets out of hand... why not just make a thread to demonstrate some of your previous work?

I use 3ds max myself, however if you're looking for a free modeller, look at either wings or blender

seppuku:can C4D handle smoothing groups?

What do you mean by smoothing groups, dude, somethings are called differant programs, so I dunno. if you mean smoothing groups like Hyper nurbs where you can apply smoothing to an object and still edit the original mesh?

nah, i mean at the moment, your whole model is the same smoothing group, in max you can select faces and add them to a different smoothing group. basically it means that the polys wont blend together.

its a user friendly way of editing normals.

its hard to explain in words... hopefully you will get what i'm babbling about from this tutorial; http://www.3dtotal.com/team/Tutorials/polgun/gunmodel.asp

@Manic, I think I know what you mean, I think I saw that in a tutorial for C4DR9.5 might be mistaken, but my version can't do it, but then my version is old

@Dodic, to tired to read what ya saying but, well I know what manic is saying, I was just ignoring it, but if you are truely for real, then thats fine, if not, this is the best time to say that you aren't, honesty is better than lying, you don't have to be bigger to be respected here, just be a decent dude , honestly, from reading your posts the majority won't believe you, so before its too late if you aren't for real this is really the best time to admit it,
if you admitted it in your post, just felt too tired to try and understand it , then oops lol

p.s. i hope i will be able to make such a car mesh sometimes ...
(but first i will learn game space light good , i don`t want to buy it and then learn it, that`s what lite is for after all - untill i buy it i wont be able to make such meshes , becouse of polyg number limit...)

Well I doubt it was the amount of questions and mainly the content, I have found this forum good for newcomers as long as they don't do or say anything that irritates them, and well some people are easy to irritate on here

Quote: "and how many pollygons are you planning to have when you finish this model?"


Hopefully between 1000-2500 polygons

Thanks, maybe it is a little early, but I wouldn't get any crit on the progress until I get back onto it, and well I wanted to see if there were any probs I didn't notice, like the bumper there I understand what needs to be changed, that area was a little neglected

I didn't use any tutorials I'm afraid, just a referance images and the knowledge of polygon modelling .

well thats the idea, last time I was drunk was when I was 2, so well, now that i've bothered to go out trying drinks, I can see myself taking advantage of Irish Whiskey, before I hated all alcohol, thats cos my parents only keep beer and wine in the house, I hate beer and wine
