Im working on a vector graphic car tutorial and stuck on the easiest way of making the oval shape where the 3d cursor is. I plan on doing that one first then the main one in the middle. Any suggestions on getting those shapes started? Here are some screen shots.
Thanks Ricky Blender, fdfxd for the tips. I wont be able to check until tomorrow. This is my first time trying a car model. Im following along a tut. in cg cookie. In side view it looks fine and lined up but when I rotate out it looks weird. Im not sure if this correct for vector graphic car model. Challenging but I like it.

All output geometries will be converted to multi geometries, eventhose with just a single part.This algorithm does not dissolve overlapping geometries - they willbe collected together without modifying the shape of each geometrypart.
The number of neighbors to consider determines the concaveness of theoutput polygon.A lower number will result in a concave hull that follows the pointsvery closely, while a higher number will have a smoother shape.The minimum number of neighbor points to consider is 3.A value equal to or greater than the number of points will result ina convex hull.
Creates a new vector layer that contains a single feature withgeometry matching a point parameter.It can be used in models to convert a point into a point layer foralgorithms which require a layer based input.
Takes a vector layer and combines its features into new features.One or more attributes can be specified to dissolve featuresbelonging to the same class (having the same value for the specifiedattributes), alternatively all features can be dissolved to a singlefeature.
This document defines the Vector Markup Language (VML). VML is an application of Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0 whichdefines a format for the encoding of vector information together with additional markup todescribe how that information may be displayed and edited. The first part of thisdocument is an introduction, which gives an overview of the way VML is organized and howit interacts with both XML and HTML as defined by the HTML 4.0 Specification. This is followedby detailed technical definition of the behavior of every VML element and the permittedand recommended behaviors for all applications.
The Vector Markup Language (VML) supports the markup of vector graphic information inthe same way that HTML supports the markup of textual information. Within VML thecontent is composed of paths described using connected lines and curves. The markupgives semantic and presentation information for the paths.
VML is written using the syntax of XML just as HTML is written using the syntax of SGML(the Standard Generalized Markup Language, [ISO 8879]) - XML is arestricted form of SGML. VML uses CascadingStyle Sheets, Level 2 in the same way as HTML to determine the layout of the vectorgraphics which it contains. The workflow involved in rendering VML can be comparedto that involved in rendering HTML as show in the following figure.
The primary difference between the HTML workflow and the VML workflow is in the lastbut one step - character layout versus path transformations. In the HTML case, theworkflow generates locations and other information for sequences of characters which arethen rendered using native operating system functionality. In the VML, case theworkflow generates locations and related information for vector paths and related objects(such as bitmaps) which are then rendered using native operating system functionality.
Like HTML, VML describes objects which will often be further edited. In the caseof HTML, these objects are paragraphs, forms or tables. In the case of VML, theobjects are shapes or collections of shapes known as groups. VMLdoes not require a particular approach to editing - it accommodates a wide variety ofeditors. The enormous range of graphical data requires that VML pays carefulattention to how an editor records the semantic information related to the VMLdescription. VML ensures that different editors can recognize and correctly handleeach other's data (even though they will not normally understand it).
Green - CSS information. The first block of CSS isused in the HTML which defines the text in the diagram - this is just standard CSS. Each shape and group element has a CSS style attribute whichdefines the position and size of the shape within the page. The location of thetop-level group is defined completely by the CSS - a layout engine need not understand anyaspect of VML to handle this positioning information.
Black - VML. The remainder of the data describes the graphical properties of thediagram. Notice how this data is associated with the shape and shapetypeelements. The shape elements are rendered in the diagram, the shapetypeelements allow reuse of geometric information between shapes. In this case, becausethere are three different shapes in the diagram, there are also three shapetypeelements, but in more complex cases the same shape would be used multiple times (eachinstance referencing the same shapetype element).
Purple - the most basic VML geometric informationdescribes closed or open paths. These paths may be parameterized - this allows asingle shapetype element to define multiple related paths. For example,the downArrow shapetype above is defined parametrically and the followingfour arrows all share the same basic shape.
Many requirements guided the design of VML. The most crucial are listed below inorder of importance.
Several predefined shapes may be used as convenient alternatives to explicitlydeclaring a shape element with a path. These predefined shapes are line,polyline, curve, rect, roundrect, oval,arc, and image.
The style attribute uses the syntax described in "Visual renderingmodel" in Cascading Style Sheets, Level 2. The positioning may be absolute or relative unless the shape is within a group, inwhich case it must be absolute (relative to the top left of the parent group). The z orderof the elements within the group is from the first (lowest) to the last (highest) - i.e.later elements obscure earlier elements. The elements establish no relative position- hence the restriction to use of absolute positioning.
The VML shape and group elements participate fully in theCSS2 visual rendering model. In addition to standard CSS layout the VML elements mayalso be rotated or flipped. Each element also establishes a coordinate space for itscontent - this allows scaling of the content with respect to the containing elements. The following VML specific CSS properties support this.
