> [@evildrummer](#): > > 3d is way too crazy Ok, I quit too. LOL The view is spinning like crazy… it’s hard to get a good render of it when it’s spinning this fast. Anyway… I’ve been trying to get the rims to look like rims but they ain’t working out for me so far. Tomorrow I’ll post another update with a back view just for you unclesond! :lol: ---

very very clean indeed . . . the mesh is awesome . . . I can’t see any segmentation on it . . . I am impressed seeing how you have only been doing this a short time. you definately have the modelers touch. keep it up, . . this is going to be an interesting build gp ---

> [@BOKKE](#): > > Verry verry cool! :thumb: > I wish that i was that good! > Btw; I never model that way… :huh: is it better? Spline modeling and sub-d poly modeling are just a different way to get to point B. Mostly they are used to model organic shapes. IE . . models with curves and smooth flowing lines. You wouldn’t want to model a Box this way because a box generally has hard edges so organic modeling would tae you away from your objective. I mean sure you can model the box the apply a weight map to the mesh but that would be more effort than what is nessasary. . . . . . Is it better? no, just different. gp ---

What he said ^ :lol: Thanks for all the wicked comments people! I don’t think I’ll do the flip-up doors… But the again I might surprise myself and do em anyway. Due to some activities during the weekend and today I didn’t have a lot of time to model. I’ve changed quite a bit of the mesh, not very noticeable. So it’s a small update but with a better mesh. This is what I did: - worked on the door / windows - added a crease on the nose where the logo should be - added a crease on the trunk together with the brakelight in the middle - added the exhaust pipes on the side ![](http://forum.kirupa.com/uploads/kirupa/6828/4e3ca28b1071afd3.jpg) ![](http://forum.kirupa.com/uploads/kirupa/6829/cba6b78bdc480b08.jpg) ![](http://forum.kirupa.com/uploads/kirupa/6830/49430e09c574e6aa.jpg) ---
