we are all doing it for fun :P
well im learning too.. cause i dont have that much of experience in car modelling

i've started working on my model, and i already have finished with the basic shape of the car..
im working using blueprints of an existing car, and modifying the body on the fly
any1 else working on this contest?

well, the problem is, i have no idea about car design
tristan, actually, since its the first car i went all the way to finish, and i dont have alot of experience, i did some critical faults at the beginning of the design process, by missplacing some vertex, so further work on this model would be just difficult.
Im about to start working on the new model now, u all might be able to see some previews later tonight in the WIP forum

the tarmac texture looks a bit too large.. there's something wrong with the lines..
still, u could make another angle view from top side instead of the front style view

Quote from thisnameistaken :

Put some intakes on it! It's NOT FINISHED!

no, im bored
im gonna start a new model :P

id like to see it in S3 too.. but i dont think its ever gonna be in it
maybe sometime, if we r allowed to import our own cars..

thanks

here are my final renders,
i dont feel like working on this car anymore..

now i want to work on the new contest thread car

its ok, we r not in a hurry..
i want to start a new car now, but if i do, ill never finish this "GT40 or something" model :P
so i guess i should better start finalizing it

lol..
yeah, i guess he'll be posting in the WIP section only :P

Here's a little "contest" we r unofficially organising, post here YOUR 3d models of the cars you would like to see in LFS.
Rules:

-u can basically model ANY car you want as long as its not an existing one. (you can mix different cars)
-only pure 3D models
-u can post reference pics along with ur model renders
-no photoshoped cars made out of LFS existing ones
-keep ur model as low in polys as possible
-always post a wireframe of ur model
-there's no timelimit, take your time

ps. if u need a good tutorial, i would suggest searching for the "box modelling a nissan 300ZX" one, which comes in .pdf version. (u can google it).

EDIT: heres the tutorial i was talking about: http://s57.yousendit.com/d.asp ... DGZ83B7I5NRH25T63K3Z8T5GF

its open for everyone
i guess we should make 2 new threads.. one for the WIPs and one for the finished cars

u can count me in!
xcnuse.. u stay out :P

intakes are to be modelled on the sides, right behind the doors

i saw what u ment the first time, and i agree, but that wont work now :P
np though.. first time im gonna finish a car
it will be better next time, believe me!

just like i thought.. its a total diff version of the gt40
mine were something between the old and new version..

im using 3dsmax box poly modelling
nice model there, what are u using?
problem with my model is, i couldnt find good blueprints, so i had to invent lots of stuff :S
