Hey TeeWorks... A very intressting turtorial, not only for 3D Studio Max User

Yes!, i like it very very much, cuz of showing the world, that boxmodeling is a real alternative to poly by poly modeling concerning cars! ...like u maybe know is there very less users who swear on boxmodeling if they create a car...

I'm a complete beginner, and I use Maya, but I followed this tutorial and found it really useful. I have had trouble with some things though. Thanks to the creator of the tutorial.

This is a great tutorial, I saw it in CGTalk and used it to model my first car.
Though it was my first challenge the model shaped up rather good, though I do still suck on texturing, lighting, rendering. Damn I got to learn those.
But I was really thankfull to have this tut. Thanks guys, just wanted to share my feeling with you car geeks, and hope to get the quality you guys make some day.

hey am up to page 11 but i dont get the step with making the pentagon how do u modell the edges

[Spirit]

if you mean how do you cut the edges then:

In 3ds max, there is a menu on the right. When the polygon is converted to an editable poly, then on the menu should be a button which says "Cut". Use this tool to add a new edge to the polygon.

You can also use tools like slice, but I use cut.

Hope that helps?

[Keby]

i have to make something for school, using rhino, is this possible in rhino becuase i do not want to waste my time on my major project (or someone can make it for me...)

[Yorx]

Yes, It's possible but is a totally different way of modelling.. Maybe slower (depends on your capabilities.. ) but surely much more precise.
