[Digital Tutors Automotive Modeling In Maya Torrent
Betty Neyhart
Computer generated cars are a staple of film and commercial projects. Whether the parts all fly together before our eyes in a commercial meant to show off superior engineering, or the car is tossed around by gigantic creatures in a feature film, there is a need to create 3D automotive models.
The different parts of a car present specific challenges but also provide certain advantages. The workflow for creating a car can vary, from using NURBS curves and surfaces, to box modeling.
In this tutorial, we'll use an edge modeling method to begin building our Audi R8.

Justin has helped shape the careers of many digital artists and has even earned the title of "Master Justin" by those he has helped. Welcome to his dojo.
smoothness is mainly achieved with good modeling technique, which means your mesh flows appropriately, vertices terminate properly and connect properly. With applications such as 3ds max, one is able to put a "turbosmooth" or "meshsmooth" (more intensive) modifier on their model which increases the mesh density... however... it's not wise to slap that on your model, and then "convert -->poly/nurbs/etc" your mesh to this new higher density because that increases your workload - as obviously now you have many more vertices to fudge with however sometimes it helps or is required. the normal procedure would be to keep that event procedural, so that you can "toggle" the meshsmooth on and off, but always return to a less dense model to tweak. (same as using symmetry so you don't have to model the whole thing :P)
that being said there are some problems with just slapping a meshsmooth on your model if you require really exact straight lines (the cockpit windows on the ka50 would be a good example), if you don't provide the extra mesh density around these items the meshsmooth will give your object a "melted" look. and the windows (as an example) would become more round. usually you can overcome this by spacing a repetitive mesh very close to the object that you want to maintain it's shape. a little confusing to explain.
overtime one's model can get a little overworked, and vertices don't align etc etc down a fuselage this can look a little bumpy, it's important to learn all the tools available in programs such as 3ds max, because at the sub-object level it is possible to align vertices according to x y or z coordinates which speeds up manually placing each one in space - which has the fudge factor. another useful tool is constrain - when you can move vertices but constrain them to an edge etc.
in any case a GREAT tutorial on solid object modeling is digital tutors automotive modeling in 3ds max. I know you don't use that app, but just the technique the guy uses could be used in any application. You will see him make good use of symmetry modifiers, as well as turbo smooth and mesh smooth, while adding line/mesh density to maintain structural shape.
Those digital tutor videos are awsome for beginners. Im using it myself at the moment. My car is coming along nicely, i will upload a few pics when I nearly finished it. Once thats done ill try doing an aircraft. Probz the eurofighter lol. Might take make me a long time to do.
Ok here is my car model so far. Aint don alot of work to it for a while. There isnt a tutorial for the bonnet of the car, so i had to try and do that myself. Still some work to do on it. Just trying to complete the car, then add details to it at a later date. I think it is turning out rather good compared to before. :D
Hey just stumbled over this thread, i've been trying to get into 3D modeling and blender lately by doing a J-35. I'm not very far yet and i'm pretty slow because i have to learn things on the go, but i think i'm getting there. :book::)

The Deaf Studies Certificate was created for people who want to learn how to communicate with Deaf people who use ASL. People who are interested in the Deaf Studies Certificate may want to learn ASL because they work with Deaf people, or have Deaf friends or family members. Some people who work as nurses, teachers, police officers, etc. want to learn ASL to communicate with Deaf people they may meet in their jobs. The Deaf Studies Certificate is NOT an interpreting certificate.
